Skeletons Of The Marital Closet novel Chapter 696

Chapter 696
“I… am looking for Aurum.”
Peter said, “Aurum’s here with me. He’ll be keeping me company for the next few days.
Don’t even think about taking him away!”
Shawn pursed his lips.
He had expected Peter to protect Aurum like that.
However, how did he find out about Aurum being confined in Temperley Hall!
“Mr. Wood, are you here to fish as well?” Aurum greeted casually.
Shawn was even more unhappy at how Aurum was acting.
With Peter protecting Aurum, he could not touch Aurum!
Shawn walked forward. He had just taken two steps when Peter pointed at him. “Stay there. Don’t come over. If you’re rude to Aurum, I…I’ll fight you!”
“I’m your son-in-law.”
“I don’t even have a daughter anymore. How could I have a son-in-law?!”
Shawn’s expression darkened a little, but he quickly hid it.
He could not show anyone else his moments of weakness.
After composing himself, Shawn said calmly, “Since you like Aurum so much, I’ll let him stay with you. I just came over to ask him a few questions.”
“Questions?”
“Yes, I’ll leave after I finish.”
Peter looked at Aurum before he said, “What do you want to ask him?”
“You can stay here and listen.”
Shawn walked to the side of the lake, looking at the shiny surface.
He could not touch Aurum if Peter protected Aurum like that.
So, he would just talk about it there!
Shawn stuck one hand into his pocket as he raised an eyebrow. “Aurum, no matter how much you deny it, no matter how perfect your excuses are, you can’t cover up those holes. I’m not an idiot you can just fool however you want to.”
Aurum nodded. “Yes, who would dare to hide anything from you in Sea City?”
“You would, and it’s not the first time!” Shawn’s expression darkened as he looked at the
thin fishing rod. He straightened his body proudly.
“All of the information related to Molly has been wiped away. All of her expenses and even her account information are all hiding behind Zoe,” Shawn said calmly.
“You have a direct connection to Zoe! Yes, Zoe was your nanny. It’s natural for you to take care of her. I don’t care how much money you’re willing to give her. Everything seems very normal. However, the moment Molly is concerned, things become very muddy.”
Saying that Shawn’s tone changed.
“You never contacted Zoe since she returned to her hometown after she resigned. Yet, why have you been talking to her so much in the past four years?”
“Why did Molly and Zoe disappear so suddenly the moment I found out about their relationship?”
. “Why did you start talking to Zoe again after Galey passed away?”
Peter was getting anxious just listening to it. He finally realized things were not as simple as Aurum said!
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he was worried he would just make things worse!
Aurum’s expression was the same as usual. He did not look panicked at all.
In fact, Aurum even asked Shawn instead, “Are you trying to prove something by linking Molly to Gale’s passing?”
Shawn looked Aurum right in the eyes as if he wanted to look into Aurum’s soul!
Aurum stood there calmly, not avoiding anything.
“I wasn’t trying to prove anything. I was just voicing my suspicions. Everything is just too coincidental. It makes me think!” Shawn answered.
“So, Mr. Wood, are you suspecting that Molly…”
