Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 690

Gale’s family stayed in a bed and breakfast.

Joshua and Nicole were running in the field, plucking flowers.

Zoe followed behind. “Slow down, two little monsters. I can’t catch up with you.”

Gale stood on the balcony, watching this adorable and harmonious scene, yet feeling extremely heavy in her heart.

She never expected that the designs she drew would attract Shawn’s attention and bring huge troubles to her peaceful life.

Aurum was also implicated.

Time was running out. Should she continue to hide and stay or go to find Shawn…

Gale closed her eyes.

At night in Temperley Hall, the whole villa was brightly lit, and the bodyguards came in and out. All of them looked very solemn.

Shawn stood in the middle of the living room.

The crystal chandelier set off his silver hair more beautifully, making his facial features.

look cold and hard.

Verbal status reports from subordinates kept coming out of the walkie-talkie.

“Mr. Wood, there is no one here at the hospital. They went through the discharge procedures and left at four o’clock in the afternoon!”

“Mr. Wood, Zoe’s house is locked. No one is here.”

“Mr. Wood, Zoe can’t be found or contacted. She didn’t go back to her hometown.”

“I didn’t see Molly and the two children.”

Shawn listened quietly, with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

He sneered.

They acted so fast. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

In just one afternoon, all four of them disappeared, their whereabouts were unknown, and his men did not know where they were hiding!

Was it a coincidence?

No! They were deliberately avoiding his search!

Shawn ordered in a deep voice, “Go and bring Aurum. Immediately!”

“Yes, Mr. Wood!” The bodyguards nodded, and just as they turned around to leave, Aurum appeared at the door.

“Is Mr. Wood looking for me?” Aurum stepped in with a relaxed expression. “It’s a tacit understanding. I’m looking for Mr. Wood too.”

Shawn squinted deeply. “You still dare to come to me on your own initiative?”

“Why don’t I dare?”

Shawn curled his lips. “Very well.”

He waved his hand, signaling the bodyguards to go out.

Aurum really impressed him. Under such circumstances, he actually dared to come to his door.

“It was you who arranged for Molly’s family and Zoe to hide.” Shawn pointed it out directly without going around in circles with him. “You move quickly.”

“Zoe was my nanny. I won’t just sit and watch Mr. Wood single-handedly ruin her peaceful life.”

“Then what does Molly have to do with you? Why do you want to protect her like this?”

Aurum replied, “I told you, I don’t know Molly. But Mr. Wood said that they were Zoe’s family. So, I naturally want to help them all together. In case Mr. Wood uses her family to blackmail her.”

Shawn’s eyes were sharp. “Aurum, I don’t have the patience and time to dance with. you. Let me ask you one last time, will you hand over Molly?”

Aurum met his eyes without any fear. “I will not hand anyone over to you.”

Shawn looked straight at him.

It had been a long time since anyone dared to contradict him like this.

“Very well, Aurum.” Shawn bent down and sat down on the sofa. “Then you will not leave! You can only leave once you hand over Molly.”

“You’re trying to put me under house arrest.”

”ו

gave you a choice, but you chose to offend me.”

Aurum shrugged and sat down on the sofa. “It is said that the Temperley Hall is the

pinnacle of villas in Sea City. It is extremely luxurious. Well, even the interiors are made of gold. It’s my honor to have this opportunity to live here.”
