Skeletons Of The Marital Closet

Chapter 91 Gale smiled reluctantly. "Housekeeper, thank you. I will remember your help in my heart, and I will repay you if I have a chance." "No, no." Gale said, "Actually, I don't know why you would treat me so well. You are obviously someone who admires Shawn. Honestly, I don't mind if you just obey his orders." She was just a titular Mrs. Wood who had no money or power, and anyone could step on her like a doormat. The housekeeper can totally side with Susan. "I hope Mr. Wood and his wife can live in harmony." The housekeeper replied, "That's what a happy home would look like."

"Home?" Gale was stunned.

Ever since Shawn appeared in her life, she had not called any place home for a long time.

Just like the jade bracelet in front of her, her home had been torn apart.

"Yes, Mrs. Wood, when you marry Mr. Wood, you will have a small family. I watched Mr. Wood grow up since he was a child, so I hope he is happy."

"He and I are destined to be unhappy. He hates me, and so do I... I hate him the same." They were two people who hated each other deeply. How could they talk about love or worse, a family. The housekeeper's expression changed. "Actually... some things can't be seen on the surface." Gale smiled. "Do you think that Shawn actually likes me?"

"Well, to Mr. Wood, you are indeed somehow... special. I have never seen a woman who can get such a high degree of attention from Mr. Wood. Even Susan doesn't get this type of attention." What's worse was Susan actually tried so hard to compete for his attention.

The housekeeper said again, "What's between you and him... well, one has to look beyond the surface."

Gale suddenly raised her head and looked straight at the housekeeper.

Th... not quite right. She asked, "What do you mean? Do you know something about my father's death?" The housekeeper lowered his head. Gale was flustered and asked, "You answer me. You have been serving the Wood family for decades. You must know! If you knew the truth or had evidence..." "No." The housekeeper denied, "Madam, you are overthinking." "But what you said just now tells me something else!" "You misunderstood."

The hope in Gale's eyes slowly disappeared. She thought that the housekeeper had some evidence to clear her father's name. "Sorry, I'm too excited."

Gale sat down again and continued to fiddle with the jade bracelet.

"Madam..."

"Needless to say, I'm not hungry." After teaching Susan a lesson, she and Summer had a meal together before coming back. Seeing that persuading her would be useless, the housekeeper was about to leave when Susan's scream suddenly sounded downstairs. "Gale, come out now!!"

In the living room. Susan had a strong stench on her body. Her hair was messy and covered with vegetable leaves, and she looked like a fleeing beggar.

The servants stayed far away from her because the smell was too bad.

Shawn also frowned. "What kind of dress are you wearing?" Susan saw him and immediately cried, aggrieved, "Mr. Wood, the weather was really good, so I put on a pretty dress and went to walk my dog. Who would have known, on the way, someone put a sack on me and beat me up and threw me in the garbage truck!" She went to grab Shawn's hand.

Shawn immediately backed away.

"I know I'm dirty now, but... someone deliberately did this to me!"

Susan's face was full of indignation. "Let the servants help you wash up." After Shawn finished speaking, he turned and left.

He was a clean freak and could not stand it at all.

Noticing the carpet that Susan stepped on was dirty, he turned around and asked the servant to change it for a new one. Susan said, "I didn't come to take a bath! Mr. Wood, you have to stand up for me. I've been bullied. Don't you feel bad!"
