My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise by Lindsay Lewis

Chapter 113

As if the taste of a particular moment from his memory overlapped, compelling him to grasp at fleeting memories that flashed before him.

However, when Leo took another bite, his mouth was left only with the lingering sweetness, sweet yet not cloying, truly a delightful taste.

Perhaps wanting to rediscover the flavors hidden within his memories, Leo wanted to reach for another piece. However, just as his hand extended, with a swift motion, Amber abruptly pushed back.

“Madison made this for me. Giving you a piece was already a favor to you. How dare you shamelessly try to take more!”

Leo lifted his gaze for a moment to glance at Madison.

The latter simply smiled faintly, sipping from her water glass, not willing to utter a single word to help him out.

Just like his mother, she didn’t want to see him.

Leo, unfazed, quietly withdrew his hand, taking a tissue to lightly wipe his fingertips.

“I’ll head upstairs first. You guys continue talking.”

He went straight back without taking his phone that was placed on the coffee table.

Amber looked at his proud figure and snorted coldly, “What a nuisance, seeing him just

annoys me.’

Madison didn’t have much to say either.

Even before returning to the country, Leo had a strained relationship with his family, especially with Amber. Now, with three years of absence from the country, she was unaware of their current situation. Even if she wanted to mend the relationship between mother and son, she could do nothing.

Moreover, she was in no place to be concerned about other people’s family matters.

She sat obediently as Amber suddenly turned around, her voice softening completely.

“Madison, I heard that at the Hale family dinner the night before yesterday, you completely cleared things up with them. Is that right?”

Madison did not expect Amber to bring this topic up so suddenly.

She had thought the topic would be brought up right after arriving at the Palmer

family. Since it hadn’t been mentioned during dinner, she assumed that the matter had passed.

However, this matter had already circulated within the circle, and Cullen was well aware of it. As the lady boss of the Palmer family, Amber naturally had certain channels for receiving information.

She was even aware of Sally’s suicide, let alone this minor matter.

Without denying it, Madison nodded, speaking truthfully,

“Technically, it should have been resolved during Sally’s last birthday. I hesitated because some belongings of mine were still with the Hale family. Besides, I did grow up under their care, so it’s better to settle any outstanding accounts. I’d rather not have the Hale family sticking to me like a band-aid. Clinging onto me is fine, but incessantly hounding my brother is not acceptable.

“I have always felt that their entire family was inadequate. If it weren’t for a favor granted to us by the Hale family and Edgar being grateful and loyal, we would have severed ties with the Hale family long ago!”

Amber was furious, yet she turned to comfort Madison.

“It’s better the ties are severed. Consider it spending money to rid ourselves of troubles. There will be no further contact with them in the future!”

Madison nodded and softly uttered, “That’s exactly what my brother meant.”

Therefore, she didn’t think she was losing out by paying the Hale family 1.6 million. dollars to buy off their future harassment.

It was a pity that she couldn’t buy back the things Edgar had given her in the past. Madison knew that Sally had taken them, but she had no idea where they had ended

up.

Anyway, she had also left some important things with the Palmer family. Still, it was a pity. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As she was sighing, Madison’s hand was suddenly pulled by Amber. Amber’s voice lowered again in her ear. “Madison, I heard that the Hale family not only took your things, but they also beat you up. Is that true?”

Madison was silent for a few seconds and then nodded slightly.

These people from the Hale family, where do they get the nerve to do that!”

Amber’s eyes suddenly flashed with anger.

Madison comforted Amber, “It’s all in the past now, and I’ll have a family in the future. I’ve already cut ties with the Hale family, so let’s just let bygones be bygones.”

John and herself have already discussed it. As long as the Hale family would not cause any more trouble in the future, they would forgive past grudges as repayment for raising the two of them.

If they still would not let her go, then they could not blame the Daves family if they interfered in Sidovor City.

Amber was furious. She looked at Madison with even more pity in her eyes. “You’re such a good child, trying to comfort me. The Hale family is heartless. I don’t know what Leo, that nuisance, is thinking. If it weren’t for the fact that Palmer’s men all died early, this company would never have been handed over to him so early. It would be better to donate it to charity than to support the Hale family!”

Although she was not involved in the company’s affairs now, it did not mean she was not aware of anything.

In recent times, the Palmer Group experienced rapid growth under the leadership of Leo. They collaborated extensively with the Hale family on numerous projects. It’s reasonable to assert that the current scale of the Hale family’s presence in Sidovor City would have been unattainable without the support of the Palmer family.

As soon as the Palmer family withdrew its investment, the company would collapse.

As Amber thought to herself, she became even more determined that Leo should not marry Sally.

Never!

She thought about it, and her grip on Madison’s hand tightened a little.

“Madison, do you really not like that brat anymore? You’ve indeed suffered a lot in the past three years abroad, but I remember you were happy when you married him. Are you really going to get a divorce?”

As soon as the words left her mouth, Madison subconsciously wanted to pull her hand away from Amber’s.

She managed to hold back and just smiled. “Amber, you know that feelings can’t be forced. When I got married, I was young and barely of legal age. Now my experiences. are different. Likes and loves can’t always be the top priority. Whether I like or don’t like something doesn’t matter.”

She spoke delicately, but her refusal was firm.

They were all so old now. They really shouldn’t be talking about things like romance.

In this world, the most important thing was emotion, and the most useless thing wast also emotion.

In the future, she would put her family first.

Π

As for love between men and women, she had buried her most beautiful love. Even if she fell in love with someone else in the future, she would probably think of this tiring experience first.

Amber’s expression was complex. “That brat really has no chance? If he comes back. changed?”

Madison laughed even harder. “Amber, you’re wrong. I was the one who never got a chance, not that he didn’t have one.”

From a young age, she was always trailing behind, watching Leo from the back.

And yet, she gave him a chance.

Even if he turned around, she was tired and did not want to continue anymore.

She smiled, her gaze indifferent. “If Leo turns around, I’ll turn around too.”

Amber’s heart sank to the very bottom.

Madison spoke clearly, and she could tell from Amber’s expression that she understood.

Not wanting to talk anymore, she stood up. “Amber, it’s getting late. Let’s go get some

rest.”

Amber sighed softly, then got up from the sofa. “Well, well, it seems the Palmer family is not fortunate enough for this.”

“The younger generation has its own blessings. Amber you don’t need to worry too much about Mr. Palmer. Even if it’s not Miss Hale, Mr. Palmer will surely meet someone good in the future.”

Now that everything had been said, she no longer needed to pretend in front of Amber. She directly addressed Leo as Mr. Palmer.

It can be said that everything had been settled.

Amber sighed in resignation. “Madison, are you serious? You don’t have any feelings for Leo anymore? You used to love him so much, you were always clinging to him…”

“Amber.”

Before Amber could say anything else, Madison softly interrupted her, and the emotions in her eyes gradually turned cold.
