Skeletons Of The Marital Closet Chapter 1997
It was hidden in her mouth. Ivy had been holding it there the entire time. The bug was too important. It was the only evidence she had, and she had to get it to Shawn. If Aurum discovered the bug, he would realize she had never intended to submit to him. Who knows, he might use even more brutal methods against her.Earlier, Ivy and Shawn never had a chance to get close. With Aurum constantly watching, she could not pass it to him. After much thought, Ivy used the hug to slip the bug into Joshua's pocket. Joshua, despite his young age, was clever and sharp. He would not let her down. She pinned all her hopes on him."Are you satisfied with my performance?" Ivy withdrew her gaze and turned to Aurum. "Can you trust me now?""What have you done to make me trust you?""Aurum, suspicious people don't live happy lives.""Not getting the person you want is what truly makes one unhappy."Ivy asked, "You still haven't given up on Gale? Aren't you going to marry me?"Aurum lifted her chin.

As she ate, Ivy pondered whether Shawn would rescue her and expose Aurum's misdeeds to the public or if she would remain in Aurum's grasp, becoming one of his pawns. If Aurum threatened Shawn with her life in exchange for keeping the contents of the listening device secret, what would Shawn do? Although Shawn is ruthless and cold, he might still consider her safety because of Gale.If Shawn decided to just hold onto the evidence without making it public, that would be bad. Ivy had worked hard to get the evidence; she could not just let it go to waste. Lost in thought, she suddenly chuckled.Aurum glanced at her. What was going on?"Nothing, don't mind me," Ivy said, biting her spoon with a smile. "I just thought of something really funny."Aurum looked away."This food is really delicious. I've avoided eating rice for years to maintain my figure. Now, after not eating for several days, I feel like white rice is the most wonderful food in the world," Ivy said, poking at the rice in

At that moment, Gale and the children were all there; if a conflict had erupted, they could have been in danger! Thankfully, Joshua kept his composure. Truly, he was Shawn's son through and through. Shawn gripped the steering wheel, pressed the gas pedal, and raced toward Aurum's residence.Ivy must have been in trouble. Maybe she had been exposed. Otherwise, why would she take leave from the set and look so haggard at the Lefting's? Has Aurum already taken control of her?Shawn opened the bug, connected it via Bluetooth, and after a crackling static, Aurum's voice came through. Ivy's voice was there too. On the way to Aurum's house, Shawn listened through the entire contents of the bug.Sure enough, Aurum had not succeeded. This evidence was just too perfect. If Shawn remembered correctly, Aurum had placed the bug in Ivy's bag, but Ivy unexpectedly turned the tables and recorded Aurum's incriminating evidence. Well done!After all this time, Shawn finally had solid proof. Gale wou

"Did you hear me? Aurum, release her," Shawn asked.He used a commanding tone. Aurum despised Shawn's high-and-mighty attitude. It triggered him."You want me to release her, so I just have to let her go? If Ivy wants to go with you, I have to let her go with you? Impossible!" Aurum gritted his teeth."Ivy is an artist under Wood Group. It's reasonable for me to take her away.""I'm her boyfriend!"When Aurum said this, Shawn and Ivy laughed. Aurum was still stubborn. Hearing their mocking laughter, Aurum's face turned red and white in turns, feeling a sense of anger and shame. Is Shawn going to win? How? Ivy was in his hands. He did not reveal any evidence earlier. How would Shawn be able to win?"Aurum, Ivy is on my side. She and Galey will always be. She won't be deceived by your sweet words and benefits… You should know that, right?" Shawn said."I also know that you are pursuing Ivy for some purpose. Unfortunately, Ivy is not Natalie. She will not love you to the point of l

Shawn had the confidence of a man in the comfort of his own home."Since I dared to come alone, I'm confident I'll be taking Ivy with me. Aurum, do you think you can stop me?" Shawn said.Shawn had long sensed something amiss with Ivy. Her worn-out appearance, pale face, not even makeup could conceal it, she had lost all her vitality. Clearly, she had been mistreated by Aurum.However, Gale was right beside him, and the two children were there too. Shawn had kept quiet and suggested leaving early. He could not involve his family; he had to ensure their safety. He did not want Gale and the children to witness this scene.So, Shawn planned to first send them back to Temperley Hall before returning. Unexpectedly, Joshua surprised him by handing over the bug. Shawn had been fully prepared for this confrontation with Aurum. In the entire Sea City, no one could match him."Whether I can stop you, let's find out. Shawn, you're overly confident!" Aurum said.As Aurum spoke, he glanced ar

Shawn said, "Yes"."It's impossible! I've checked you thoroughly; there's nothing hidden on you!" Aurum exclaimed.Ivy gave him a glance. "I did hide something. It's in my mouth.""You!" Aurum's face turned instantly livid."I've already planned for this. If I can't keep it in my mouth, I'll swallow it. Then, I'll get it back after having my stomach pumped. Luckily, you only cared about whether I had anything hidden on my body, not my mouth," Ivy continued calmly."What if it's in your mouth! How did you give it to Shawn!" Despite being several meters apart, Shawn and Ivy maintained no physical contact."I wouldn't be foolish enough to hand it directly to Mr. Wood. Aurum, it's so obvious. Can't you tell?" Ivy replied expressionlessly. Aurum clenched his fists, recalling everything, and suddenly it dawned on him."Joshua! You gave it to Joshua! You held him!" Aurum exclaimed.Ivy nodded. "Yes, it looks like your rationality isn't completely gone.""You wretch!" Enraged, Aurum

Who knew that just as Aurum rushed forward, Shawn casually tossed the bug aside. The bug flew across the air. Aurum never expected Shawn to do that. How can he toss such an important piece of evidence?Aurum's gaze followed it, and the moment the bug hit the ground, he rushed over and picked it up tightly. Shawn stood still, watching him as if he were a clown."Did you pick it up? And then what? What can you do?" Shawn asked.Aurum realized then that Shawn must have already backed up the recordings since he dared to show it so casually and throw away the bug. He was just too anxious and forgot about this.Sure enough, Shawn calmly said, "I've already backed up the recordings multiple times. You can't destroy them. Trying to keep secrets forever? Do you think you can fool everyone?""Fine, fine!" Aurum raised his hand and fiercely threw the bug to the ground. With a snap, the bug shattered into pieces, its shards flying, narrowly missing Ivy's face."You two have been plotting aga

"Never meet Gale alone again, always keeping a distance of two meters from her."That was Shawn's only requirement. He was generous enough to give Aurum a last ounce of dignity. Shawn would have ruined him long ago if it were anyone else!Aurum did not believe it for a moment. "Who are you? I know very well who you are, Shawn. I nearly tainted Gale. Would you let me off so easily?""Because you are Gale's friend," Shawn replied simply.That was Shawn's reason for forgiveness. If it were just their personal vendetta, Shawn would have taken severe action against Aurum, ensuring he had no chance for redemption with violent methods. He was lucky it involved Gale.The thought of Gale flashed through Shawn's mind like a breath of spring wind, smoothing away all his resentment, anger, and hatred. He had to consider Gale."I have no way out now. From the moment I decided to compete with you for Gale, I never considered a peaceful resolution. Either I get her, or I lose her completely!" A
