Chapter 548
He needed to lie to Shawn.
He even needed to lie to Summer.
Gale really was ruthless, both to herself and others.
Looking at how Summer was crying so hard that she was struggling to breathe, Summer really did not know anything. She really thought that Gale…
She was dead.
Joe rubbed his temples as he walked out of the office and continued to sort everything out.
Aurum looked at the shattered glass on the floor.
He never expected that Joe had been the one to look into him!
With how deep Joe had looked, even if Joe had not found out about the whole plan, he must still have gotten a part of the information.
With that information, Joe could absolutely figure out what would happen after that.
Joe was Shawn’s best friend, but Joe had still called Aurum to give Aurum a hint. What did Joe mean?
Did Joe want Aurum to hand Gale over?
What was Joe thinking?
Aurum’s head was in a mess. The further they advanced the plan, the more secure they needed everything to be!
He looked at the time. It was nine in the morning.
If everything went well, Gale should have already left Sea City!
Aurum did not dare to contaet Gale, worried he would expose her location.
All he could do was wait until Gale was somewhere absolutely safe!
‘Aurum!” Natalie suddenly barged in, running over and throwing herself into his arms, hugging his waist tightly.
“Why are you here?”
Natalie had left in anger at the yacht the night before. He had not run after her, and they had not talked to each other.
Natalie did not go home but went to the Yarn residence instead.
Aurum had planned on going over to get her that night, but he never expected that she would come over herself.
“I saw the news. Gale was just fine, why did she suddenly… jump off?” Natalie said.
She felt like it was strange.
Everything had happened too suddenly.
She had clearly witnessed Shawn and Gale kissing each other on the yacht, looking incredibly romantic.
Gale jumped into the sea just like that?
Aurum sighed and said, “I feel regretful as well. She might have suffered too much and did not want to continue on.”
“Aurum…” Natalie stopped there as she carefully looked at Aurum.
“You can just tell me anything.”
“Do you have anything to do with her jumping into the sea?” she asked.
Aurum shook his head. “No, she jumped right in front of Shawn. I wasn’t even there. How could I have anything to do with it?”
Natalie hurriedly explained, “I was just asking. I didn’t mean anything. You’ve been so close to Gale before this, and I was worried that Shawn would blame you.”
Aurum answered, “There’s no meaning in doing that. Gale won’t come back to life.”
“Aurum, have you never noticed anything strange about Gale?”
“She was quite normal.”
Natalie felt strange.
How could someone commit suicide for no reason?
Before that, there would definitely be something unusual.
Could it be because Aurum was a guy and not sensitive enough to feel it?
Aurum hugged her. “Alright, Natalie, you don’t have to think too much about it. You kept on feeling like there was something between Gale and me. Now…”
Natalie touched his lips and said, “Aurum, it’s not easy being able to spend your life with someone you love. Seeing Gale do something like that, I just feel so much pity.
At the same time, I treasure our love even more!”
