Chapter 294
Susan finally reacted, nodding. "That's right. You're already so old. Could it be that you can't even tell the difference?!"
The father and daughter pair felt an intense sense of danger..
Why would Mr. Wood suddenly ask the old man to point out something like that for no reason?!
They could not let Mr. Wood discover that
Gale had been the woman from that night... Otherwise, everything they had done during that period of time, everything they managed to get, would go up in smoke. They would lose everything!
The old man was stunned.
Shawn grabbed his collar even more forcefully. "Do you know who you should be listening to?"
His eyes were incredibly sharp, and the old man was afraid of who he was, so the old man nodded. "Of course, Mr. Wood. I'll listen to you. I'll naturally obey whatever you ask for!" "Then answer me, was it her or her?!"
Susan wanted to say something, but Shawn shot a look, and the guards immediately understood, walking forward to cover her mouth.
Gale looked at everything calmly.
To her, everything that was happening was within her expectations.
She had met the old man before, and the old man definitely recognized her.
There was no way to fake any of this.
The old man pointed at Gale and said, "That night... the woman the dean brought to me w- was her. I remember everything clearly. I can't be mistaken. She even violently kicked me and almost crippled me..."
After that was said, Shawn suddenly let go.
The old man fell on the ground before he scrambled to kneel up straight.
"Mr. Wood, everything I said was true. I didn't lie. As for the dean and his daughter, I
I don't know anything. I'm not a part of anything!" the old man answered.
He hurriedly cut off any ties.
However, Shawn would not let him go either!
"She kicked you? That's a light punishment," Shawn's eyes glinted murderously. "Where did you touch her?"
"I...didn't have the chance to..."
Shawn sneered. "You still looked at her. You can forget about your eyes."
The old man paled as he begged for mercy."
Mr. Wood, Mr. Wood..."
"Take him away!"
"Yes, Mr. Wood."
The old man's cries of agony could be heard all around Temperley Hall.
The dean and Susan were absolutely pale with fear.
They were done for. What they were the most afraid of had happened!
Susan stammered, "Mr. Wood, I... Don't listen to the nonsense from that old man. It was me that night, that's for sure!"
Shawn stared at her coldly, causing her head to go numb.
Susan was terrified. "Dad, what do we do..."
Shawn sent the coffee table flying with a kick, shattering everything on the ground with a loud bang.
