Chapter 96 The housekeeper raised his index finger and put it to his mouth, signaling her not to say anything
If someone overheard their conversation, the housekeeper and Gale would be finished.
After the housekeeper left, Gale could not calm down for a long time.
According to what the housekeeper said just now, the Wood family is the top wealthy family in Sea City. It looks glorious, but there are many unknown things hidden inside... For example... the fact that Paula is Shawn‘s stepmother.
However... Gale had never heard Shawn mention his biological mother.
Paula seemed to have been married for a long time, and Shawn disliked her, so he treated her badly.
Could it be that Alex Wood‘s death was caused by the rich and powerful‘s struggle for power?
Gale‘s thoughts became clearer and clearer, and she felt that something was about to come out.
Just then, the phone rang. Her train of thought was interrupted. Gale answered the phone, “Hello, who is it?”
“Gale, it‘s me.”
Sam?

Gale glanced at the phone screen. It was an unfamiliar number.
“I called you from a new number because you won‘t answer my call. I‘m also afraid that Shawn will hurt you again after seeing it,” Sam said. “We should not be in contact anymore. I‘ll pay you back the money tomorrow.” Sam replied, “It‘s not about money, Gale. You said before that Uncle Peter was innocent, and I took it to heart. I was using my contacts to investigate the matter.”
Gale clenched her phone tightly and asked, “And you found something?”
“Yes. There is some shocking news.”
She became excited and asked, “What is it? What did you find?”
“Can we talk face–to–face? It‘s not safe on the phone. After all...it‘s a big deal,” Sam replied.
Gale agreed, “Okay, where are you?”
“I’ll send the address. Here it is.”
Gale hurried out immediately.
She would not wait for another moment!
Gale took a taxi and headed straight to the destination. When the taxi turned the corner and passed the intersection, there was also a car on the opposite road passing by.
Gale paid no notice. Her palms sweat nervously, staring at the road ahead. “Driver, drive faster.
The car drove toward Temperley Hall. The driver said hesitantly, “Mr. Wood, the taxi just now ... the person sitting in it… seems to be your wife.” Shawn raised his head from the document. “Gale?”
“Yes.”
Shawn looked out of the car window. It was pitch black, and the vehicle was gone.
He frowned.
Where was Gale going in the middle of the night? She was always hiding things from him!
In an elegant cafe, Gale met Sam.
