Skeletons Of The Marital Closet novel Chapter 694

Chapter 694
Winnie said, “Mr. Winter, don’t you know what happened? Last night, Mr. Wood confined Aurum from the Wood Group in Temperley Hall. He insists on getting Molly’s location…”
Joe was shocked. “What?!”
Shawn managed to find Aurum so quickly?
That was really fast!
Winnie looked at him and continued, “Now, Mr. Lefting’s at Temperley Hall. He says that you’re the only one who can save him.”
It was not just Aurum that needed saving, but Gale too!
Joe was the one who knew everything!
Summer was quite confused when she heard that. When did Joe get close to Aurum?
Why would he save Aurum?
Furthermore, what did Aurum have to do with Molly?
Summer was quite befuddled.
Yet, he had a frown on his face as he got back into the car, stepping on the gas as he drove
away.
He could not plead to Shawn and help anymore.
The last time, he had helped Joshua escape the hotel and deliberately sent Shawn the wrong way. Shawn was already unhappy enough.
This time, if he went to save Aurum, Shawn would definitely start suspecting him, no matter how much Shawn trusted him!
Joe could not be exposed!
So, thinking about it, Joe could only think of one person.
Peter Warm.
Gale’s father had been living in a retirement home in the suburbs. He would go to the hospital for half a day every day before he went fishing and watered the flowers. His health. was much better than before.
He had recovered quite a lot from the scars of prison.
The only person who could talk to Shawn was Shawn’s father-in-law.
Joe found him by the lake. “Mr. Warm, I see you’re fishing.”
“That’s right. The breeze here is quite nice. Come sit. Why did you come to look for me?”
“Something happened.”
Peter looked at the lake. “I’m already old and useless. It’s already good enough that I’m not a burden to anyone. Why would someone like you need anything from me?”
Joe did not want to be too direct, not wanting to expose that he knew that Gale was not dead.
So, he deliberately sighed. “Mr. Warm, I was asked for a favor. Aurum got into a fight with Shawn for some reason. You know how Shawn is. He hasn’t been himself for the past few years. He locked Aurum up at Temperley Hall, not letting Aurum leave.”
Peter looked at him in shock. “Why did Shawn lock Aurum up?”
“It seems like Aurum is the only one who knows the location of someone. Shawn really wants to know, but Aurum refuses to tell him. Ah! Mr. Warm!”
Before Joe could finish, Peter had already tossed the fishing rod aside and was running
over.
Joe leisurely picked up the rod. “I guess I’ll do some fishing…”
Peter ran straight for Temperley Hall.
When he appeared, the housekeeper hurriedly welcomed him. “Mr. Warm, why are you here today?”
“Where is Shawn?”
“Mr. Wood is at the company.”
Peter asked, “Where is Aurum?”
The housekeeper was stunned. “Uhm…”
“Mr. Warm, are you here for me?” Aurum leisurely walked into the living room. “I’ve been busy lately, and I haven’t been free to visit you. What do you need me for?”
Peter walked over and gave Aurum a once-over. When he saw that Aurum was not hurt, he let out a sigh of relief.
Aurum shot him a look.
Peter immediately understood and said loudly, “The fishing rod you bought me broke. I don’t know where to get it, and it took me a lot of asking around to find out that you’re here. That’s how I ended up here.”
“Come, Aurum, let’s go fishing. We can have a good chat too. You’re the only one willing to keep me company!”
