Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Gale ran out of the company and stopped the taxi. She took out all themoney and stuffed it into the driver's hands. “I only have so much.Please take me to the prison...” The driver saw how pitiful she was andagreed. When Gale arrived, Peter was lying on a stretcher. There wereburn marks all over the arms and thighs. He was screaming in pain withhis eyes half opened. Gale rushed over and yelled, “Dad! Dad, look atme, I'm Gale...What happened? How did my dad get so badly injured?”The prison guard replied, “He did it himself, it's none of our business.”“What about your surveillance cameras? I want to watch the entireincident!” “Not anyone can view the surveillance here...."” Gale saidthrough gritted teeth, “You...you deceive people too much!” Petershouted unconsciously, “Gale, it hurts, it hurts...Help, scratch...” Hishand wanted to scratch the scalded blister, but Gale grabbed his hand.“Dad, bear with me. I'll take you to the hospital now!” “No, he is aprisoner in custody. He will need approval if he wants to leave.” “Do youwant to watch my dad die!” The prison guard replied, “Actually, you canonly blame yourself for offending others. Since your dad came in, hehas not had it easy.” A name flashed in Gale's mind, Shawn! It's him!Wasn't it enough that he tortured her?! Even Peter, who was servinghis sentence, was not spared! “I'm going to see Shawn...” Gale wipedaway her tears and was about to get up. As soon as she got up, Susanwalked in triumphantly. She smiled sarcastically and said, “Gale, don'twaste your energy. Shawn hates you so much, he just wants to see youas miserable as possible!” “It was you?” Susan replied, “I got bored, soI came to see your dad. Who would have thought he would knock overa kettle and burn himself.” “Impossible! You did it!” Susan shruggedproudly and said, “Do you have any evidence?” Gale clenched her fiststightly and stared at Susan, her eyes were about to burst with fire.Susan provocatively said, “You really want to hit me. Come on. If Mr.Wood hadn't stopped you last time, you would have slapped me. He'snot here today, so you can hit however hard you like.” She figured outthat Gale dared not touch her and deliberately provoked her! “It's bestthat you also pour boiling water on me and make me pay for it. Gale,come, don't just stand there!” Susan's proud and villainous face keptsneering at Gale. Gale took a deep breath and said, “You should haveattacked me instead. It wasn't my dad who offended you. It was me.”Susan walked up to her and said, “Do you think I would be able tocome to the prison myself and do this? Isn't it clear that someonehelped me?” “So...” Susan said, “That's right. President Woodinstructed me to do this. Anyway, you are a lowlife. Your father shouldhave died a long time ago! President Wood keeps him around just tovent his anger from time to time!” Gale tasted blood in her mouth, andher throat tasted of metal. It was actually Shawn's doing... He is socruel! “Why, why?!" Her eyes reddened, and she bit her lower lip. “Whatdo I need to do to send my dad to the hospital for treatment.” “Wouldn'tyou rather get three whips than learn to bark three times?” Galeunderstood. At this moment, maintaining her dignity while ignoring herloved ones was useless. Susan raised her chin arrogantly and said,“Let's start, or... I'll change my mind.” Although Peter was injured, hismind was still relatively clear. He tried to stop her, “No, Gale, no...itdoesn't hurt...” Gale held back her tears abruptly. She lowered herhead humbly and did as Susan wanted. The voice echoed in the smallspace. Every time she barked, it was like a knife was cutting her flesh!Susan nodded and said, “Not bad. Remember, Gale, treat me withrespect in the future. The future Mrs. Wood is me!” She asked stoically,“Can you take my dad to the hospital?” “I will just get the doctor to takea look at him and prescribe him some medication. Is it even worth themoney to send him to the hospital? Besides, are you rich?” SeeingGale's pained appearance, Susan's heart was renewed with joy! Whenshe knew that Gale actually slept with President Wood and almostimproved her station in life, Susan was extremely jealous. Still,fortunately, her father was clever and pushed her to replace her, so shecould get her glory and wealth. So taking advantage of the present,Susan had to fight hard to maintain her position, so that Gale had noopportunity to get there first! Since Mr. Wood seemed to favor her somuch, even if he heard of what happened today, he would not blameher! Susan deliberately bumped Gale's shoulder hard and walked awayon high heels. Gale slowly crouched down and called out, “Dad.” “Gale,my suffering... daughter...” “It's not suffering, Dad.” She held Peter'shand tightly, holding back the tears that were about to fall from hereyes. “As long as you and Mom are still here, I will have the motivationto live!” ... When she left the prison, it was already dark. The prisonwas very far from Temperley Hall, and Gale walked for two hours to gethome. As soon as she entered the living room, Shawn's eyes fell onher. She flinched but felt numb inside. He was a devil through andthrough, pulling her into hell, living was as if it was death itself! “Wheredid you go?” Shawn said in a deep voice. Gale knew that she shouldbe more obedient and docile now, which was the best policy. However,she felt really uncomfortable, so she replied with a sneer, “Where did Igo? Don't you know best?” Shawn frowned deeply, “Do you think youare worthy of me sending someone to follow you 24 hours a day?” Galesaid with a blank face, “I won't do it tomorrow. I'm very tired. Can Irest?” “Are you aware of how you are talking to me right now?” In aninstant, her tears and grievances were too much to bear, and shewanted to curse at Shawn! Why did he hurt her so miserably, and hewanted her to be respectful?! She could not. A momentary catharsis willonly attract Shawn's more terrifying punishment. Gale suddenly enviedSusan so much. Why did she get Shawn's favor and deep love? Tryingto stay alive was so difficult for her! “Gale, I told you never to lie to me.”Shawn raised his hand and threw a set of photographs at her. “You stilldisobey me!” The photographs fluttered down. It was the picture of herstanding at the door of the junkyard and bumping into Sam. The mostconspicuous photo was Sam's hand holding her shoulder. The photowas a little wrinkled, and it can be seen that it had been crumpled andclenched hard for a long time. “I explained our relationship with himtoday.” Gale tried her best to control her emotions. “I didn’t hideanything.” “Before today, you obviously met!” “It happened by chance.”Shawn asked coldly, “Then why didn’t you tell me?” “I had forgotten.Besides, there's nothing to mention.” She was even more afraid thatShawn knew that she was picking up scraps. Otherwise, her onlymeans of income would be lost. He suddenly got up, dragged her intothe bathroom, and pushed her hard into the corner. Immediatelyafterward, Shawn took off the shower head, turned on the cold water,and sprayed it on Gale!
