My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise

Chapter 16

Leo was silent. The answer was quite evident.

Madison’s face displayed an even more mocking smile as she raised her hand and tapped on his chest

lightly. She said, “Since you’re planning to get married, then hurry up girl

and finalize the divorce. Don’t let the te her time waiting for you. As for me, I know exactly what I’m

doing, and I don’t need your guidance. Even if the marriage isn’t dissolved, you still have no right. After

the divorce, you have even less right.”

With that said, she took two steps back, and all the emotions on her face disappeared..

It was as though all the previous emotions were never there. She now harbored a tranquility that also

exuded indifference.

She went on to say, “You can go back. I don’t want any ties with you, and I don’t want to invite trouble

for myself.”

Madison had signed the divorce agreement, and still, Sally plotted to ruin her with hired hooligans. Any

further connection with him might bring more trouble to herself.

She had repaid the past grievances to them. She wasn’t forgiving and generous enough to endure

anymore

Leo naturally didn’t leave. His handsome face was now completely dark with anger.

For more than twenty years, wherever he went, people would flatter him genuinely or hypocritically.

This was the first time someone had called him troublesome.

Moreover, it was Madison, the person who had stuck by him since childhood!

He reluctantly took a step forward, but Joe intercepted him. Joe told him, “Mr. Palmer, one must have a

sense of self-awareness. Since you already have a woman waiting for you, you should not harass

Madison anymore. Since Madison has made it clear, if you persist in this behavior, it will only make

things ugly.”

Leo directly ignored the man in front of him and locked his gaze on Madison, who remained

expressionless. “Are you unwilling to come back home with me?”

Madison raised her eyebrows. “Mr. Palmer, don’t say such ambiguous words to me. You know I’ve liked

you since childhood. I finally let go to make way for you and Sally. Now, you say such things to me

again. Aren’t you afraid I’ll latch onto you again? If that happens, you may not be able to get rid of this

marriage even if you want to. Do you want to marry a woman you don’t like for a lifetime?”

Come home. Those were two extravagant words to her.

In the first year she was kicked out of the country, Madison still hoped that Leo would have some

feelings for her. She had expected that he might come to pick her up one day, but he hadn’t.

There wasn’t even a comforting phone call from him. How could there be a surprise waiting for her to

come back? There was only the shock of wanting her to disappear.

Thinking of the past, Madison’s eyes were tinged with frost. “Mr. Palmer, you yourself said that you

wouldn’t have married me if it weren’t for Edgar. Now, you’re dragging your feet on the divorce. Don’t

you find your actions contradictory and meaningless?”

Leo’s thoughts lingered on the previous question for a moment.

There was a moment when he suddenly felt that it might not be unacceptable even if she stuck to him

again as she had done in their childhood.

However, his reason struggled with that thought.

That ended when Madison’s words struck him. Marrying her was something forced on him by his

grandfather. It was something he was reluctant to continue.

His pitch-black eyes regained clarity, his hostility disappeared, and his voice became low and slow

when he spoke, “I know very well whether or not we should divorce. However, I can’t just watch you go

astray. Since the Hale family kicked you out, you can come to me if you need money. You grew up

under my grandpa’s care. Wouldn’t he be disappointed if he were still alive and saw you like this?”

‘Like this? What did he think I turn into? she thought. Just because I found a wealthy boyfriend, does it

mean I am a fallen woman? That I have gone astray? Of course, according to their perspectives, I am

an orphan without parents, who should only know hooligans from the streets. How could I have friends

like Joe!

Thinking about it amused Madison very much.

She spoke. “Mr. Palmer, according to your way of thinking, spending your money is the same as

spending Mr. Daves’ money, right? Since it’s the same, why shouldn’t I find someone I’m comfortable

with?”

“Madison Hale!” Leo shouted. The anger that had just subsided in Leo was easily ignited once more by

her.

Madison remained indifferent. She even pointed to her ears. “I can hear you. I can

you with both my cars.”

hear

People were already coming down from the CTR building to have lunch. In a while. there would be

even more people passing by. Madison didn’t want to continue arguing with Leo. She had already

found this scene embarrassing, even if he hadn’t.

It seemed like the contract might not be signed tonight. If she had entered the

company with Joe, these two might have ended up in a fight. It was better not to hurt Joe’s hands.

She turned around and said to Joe in a gentle tone, “You go up first and apply some medicine. I made

an appointment to have lunch with Blanche. If this runs on, I may late.”

Upon hearing this, Joe said, “I want to go too! I also want to ask Miss Malone if she’s interested in

signing with XR Entertainment. We can go together to see her.”

be

Leo’s gaze swept over them. He said, “I think you wouldn’t mind having one more person. The Palmer

Group also has an advertising endorsement recently, and we want to discuss it with Miss Malone.”

“Neither of you is allowed to go!” Madison said loudly.

Her temper flared up, and she went on. “If there’s work to discuss, make appointment yourself. What’s

the point of messing up our lunch plans?”

an

She angrily glared at the two men, put on her sunglasses again, and walked away.

The white BMW left the scene a few moments later.

Joc clicked his tongue lightly. Leo called out to him as he was about to turn back to the

company.

“Mr. Daves, I’ve offended you quite a bit today. I hope you can forgive me. XR Entertainment has only

recently established itself in Sidovor City. If you need help with anything in the future, please feel free to

ask. The Palmer Group will never refuse. However, I hope Mr. Daves can spare Madison.”

Joe turned around with a complex expression. He touched the side of his cheek with his tongue, and

those beautiful eyes, similar to Madison’s, carried a hint of mockery.

“Spare Madison?” asked Joe. “Shouldn’t these words be said for yourself to hear, Mr. Palmer? Besides,

how do you know I’m insincere This entertainment industry is a murky pool, but can’t I be the one who

stays clean amongst them?”

Leo narrowed his dark eyes. “Mr. Daves, are you suggesting that you’ll stand against the Palmer Group

in the future?”

Joe chuckled. He wasn’t intimidated at all. “Do I mean that? It’s you, Mr. Palmer, who elevated personal

matters and entangled them in business. Why blame it on me?”

The Palmer Group’s main business is in the economy. Joe ran an entertainment company. There was

no way Leo could scare Joe.

MON, 22

Even if Joe needed to be cautious of Leo in Sidovor City, retreating just because of a few words would

mean he couldn’t avenge his little sister.

What a joke.

Joe knew where it hurt the most. He wasn’t afraid to stab the knife in and twist it.

With a smile to Leo, he added, “Mr. Palmer seems to look down on me as someone who’s in the

entertainment industry. But no matter what, I am not the one who has a woman waiting for him on the

side while also running after another. What do you think, Mr. Palmer?” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Joe might as well point his finger at Leo and accuse him to his face.

Leo pursed his thin lips. After a moment, he explained, “Mr. Daves, my marriage with Madison was due

to the wishes of the elderly. I dared not disobey. Sending her away was to not give her false hope. It is

only natural for us to divorce. I don’t oppose her remarrying after the divorce, but she’s not someone

from our circle. Even if you, Mr. Daves, sincerely like her, do you think your family would approve of you

marrying a woman with no background?”

With a flicker of interest, Joe touched his chin. “What you said seems to make some”.

sense.

Leo breathed a sigh of relief inwardly while maintaining a calm and noble demeanor. “Since you

understand this principle, I also hope you won’t give her any groundless expectations. Mr. Daves. I’ve

offended you carlier. Please don’t take it to heart,” Leo said.

Joe didn’t respond to him. Instead, he pointed to the building behind him. “Is that all? If you’re done, I’ll

go upstairs to work.”

Leo lowered his gaze, pondered momentarily, and asked, “Mr. Daves, may I ask one more question? I

heard that Sylvia, the designer at M&L Studio, is planning to sign a cooperation agreement with XR

Entertainment. Have you finalized the deal?”
