Chapter 174 Gale's Indifference
1/3
Gale felt a wave of panic wash over him as he looked at Paula's serious expression. Could it be that Paula had
been deluded by Diana, too?
"Mom, can you please stop being so unreasonable? | really can't hand over the shares to you. | know you're
capable of saving the company."
He knew Paula's capabilities better than anyone. Since the age of eighteen, Paula had been immersed in the
cutthroat world of business, honed into a formidable woman by the Barnes family.
She had always been a force to be reckoned with in the business world. It was because of her that the Marsh
family held at prominent position in Capitole, and he had the chance to becthe heir of the Marsh family.
Paula gazed at him.

Gale frowned at the complexity in Paula's eyes, finding it hard to read her thoughts.
He suddenly felt tense, almost unable to catch his breath.
It was a cool autumn day, yet he felt a chill, his back covered in a cold sweat.
"Mom, why are you looking atlike that?"

Paula just smiled, her smile a mix of disappointment and sadness. Her voice was noticeably hoarse. "Yes, | was
being unreasonable, but your actions and the answers have letdown. | just wanted to test if you truly care
about Queenie. Since you do, I'm relieved." But Gale's feelings towards Paula were not as warm.
Queenie had a real knack for playing the victim and manipulating Gale with her feigned vulnerability.
Gale laughed awkwardly, "Mom, this isn't a joke."
Paula patted his shoulder again. "Gale, indeed it's not. Don't let your sister down. You're both in the prof
your youth. Don't betray her. Love her well. She's our family's little princess.
"Just forget what happened earlier. | just couldn't believe your father would do this to us. Alright, I'm off to the
company. You take care of your own affairs."
Gale still felt uneasy. Paula had been acting strangely these past few days. "Mom, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. | was just testing you. Seeing how you stand. up for your father and Queenie, I'm reassured. | don't
believe the contents of that recording either."
Jeff had lived with her for over twenty years, smiling at her every day while secretly plotting against her, even
poisoning her behind her back.

Sadly, even when Paula presented the evidence to Gale, he refused to believe it.

"Mom, did Diana do this? Did she give you the recording?" Gale knew Diana still wanted to return to the Marsh
family.
Diana couldn't let go of Steven. She had been clinging to him these past few years, wanting to be by his side
every moment.
Paula snapped, "Gale, don't bleverything on Diana. Do you know what your fundamental problem is? You
can't take criticism. You only believe what you see. Even after suffering greatly, you still trust your own eyes and
don't think deeply. You're just too naive.
"Just pretend you didn't hear anything earlier, and don't tell Queenie. Otherwise, your sister will be so upset she
might attempt suicide again. Also, | must congratulate Althea. She made the right choice by leaving. After all, if
she had married a fool like you, her life would have been ruined." Gale thought, "Of course, | can't tell Queenie
about this. If she found out, she really would attempt suicide. If it's not Diana, then who could it be? But what did
Mom mean by her last remark?"
