Chapter 71
“Antoine…” Madison felt tears welling up in her eyes.
Ever since Edgar passed away, very few people had said these words to her.
How could she be so lucky to find so many family members who truly loved her after. losing a family member who treated her well?
“Alright, Madison. Let’s stop here. If Joe sees you crying later, I don’t know what he will say about me.”
Seeing that Madison was about to cry, Antoine quickly stopped and joked.
He made a joke with such a serious tone. This contrast made Madison smile unconsciously.
However, her voice was still nasal. “Joe doesn’t dare to say anything about you.”
Among the six brothers, other than the eldest brother, John, Antoine was the most mature and steady.
Although Joe was a little older, he had the same personality as Ethan. He looked sl oppy and not pragmatic at all. He had been scolded by his elders so many times.
Seeing Madison smile, Antoine was relieved.
He glanced at the crushed cake and smiled. “Alright, let’s continue eating your dessert.”
Madison also turned around to look at the crushed cake in front of her. She looked troubled. “Are you serious?”
The chocolate was a little melted and mixed with the broken cake. It looked
indescribable.
Antoine nodded and smiled. “Don’t waste food.”
His tone was as if he was coaxing a child.
Madison sighed softly and slowly picked up the spoon, cheering himself on in her heart!
There was only a little of it left. She gritted her teeth and ate it.
The half-melted chocolate was mixed with the cake, and the texture was surprisingly stunning. The milky fragrance was mixed with the taste of chocolate. It was different. from the taste she had tasted when it was complete, but it was not bad.

She smiled and finished the rest of the food. “Antoine, it’s delicious.”
Π
Antoine’s gaze was gentle, and his perfect side profile made his words seem much gentler. “It’s not easy to have our current good life. This cake is just a little ugly, but it’s not broken. It’s still edible.”
“Got it. Antoine. It won’t happen again.”
Madison’s l*ps curved into a smile as she heard his words seriously. At the same time, she felt very emotional.
Back then, when she was learning how to cook from the Holland family’s master, she had received a lot of such education. After going overseas for three years, her culinary skills did not improve. Instead, she had forgotten the truth. She was really ashamed.
Just as she was reflecting, she received a call from Greg.
“Madison, Benton will return to Sidovor City this week. He has already reserved our food. Come over when you’re fr
Madison was extremely excited. “Alright, thank you, Greg!”
There was finally hope for her mother’s condition!
She could also leave Sidovor City earlier and return to Rozalia to reunite with the Daves family!
The happy atmosphere in Green Water Bay was completely different from the atmosphere in Hale Villa.
After Ramona’s call, she was originally happy for a while, but when she turned around, she saw the man at the dining table with an ugly expression.
She did not know what Leo was thinking, but she did not dare to ask further when she saw his expression.
Ramona probed, “Leo, are you coming to the family banquet on Tuesday?”
Leo nodded and said, “Okay.”
He had not finished the cake in front of him. But he had already put down the spoon, wiped his mouth, and stood up from the chair. It was obvious that he was preparing to leave.
“Ramona, thank you for your hospitality. I still have some things to do at the company, so I’ll leave first. As for Sally, I’ll get someone to settle it. You don’t have to worry.”
“Oh, why are you being so polite with me? As for Sally, she was the one who did

something wrong. She should be scolded more.”
Ramona followed behind Leo to send him off. The smile in her eyes was almost uncontrollable.
Since Leo had said so, it would definitely be done safely. She was relieved!
“You can’t say that. Although Sally did something wrong, it’s not to this extent. Moreover, it’s because of me. But,
Leo said faintly. When he was about to reach the car, he stopped in his tracks.
Ramona also stopped in her tracks. “But what?”
“However, the matter started because of Sally. The netizens, or rather, Adonis’s fans, are all blaming her. If necessary, we need Sally to cooperate with the team and release an apology video,” Leo said seriously.
The team could reduce the popularity of the incident, but if they were wrong, they were wrong. They could not invert or hide the truth.
Apologies are necessary.
Fortunately, the matter of exposing the video was only a personal grudge and did not involve the law. Otherwise, even if he wanted to resolve the matter for Sally, there was nothing he could do.
Ramona replied immediately. “Don’t worry about that. She’ll definitely cooperate!”
She was not stup id. Working in the entertainment industry could make a lot of money now. Ever since her daughter entered this industry, the endorsement fees alone were higher than the annual income of the previous Hale family company, not to mention the film and television productions.
But who would complain about having too much money?
It was just like how the Hale family was still developing after it grew up and latched onto the more powerful family, the Palmer family.
Therefore, not only did Ramona agree, but she also added, “Sally cares too much about you. She won’t do such stu pid things again in the future. Besides, she doesn’t know that Madison and Adonis are siblings…”
Not to mention Sally, before the news was announced, Leo did not even know about it.
He did not say anything else. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Ramona, he took. another step forward. Just as he was about to reach the car, he suddenly thought of something.

“By the way. Ramona, did Sally make the cake herself today?” he asked.
Ramona was stunned. She thought that Leo knew something.
Π
However, she still refused to admit it. “Of course. Sally has been in the kitchen for the past two days. You’re the only one who can make her come out. Is there something wrong with the taste?”
The cake was made by a se rvant at home. Ramona had tasted it before and it was no different from the ones sold outside. She did not know why Leo suddenly asked.
Leo shook his head. “No, it tastes good.”
The taste was just a little different from what he remembered.
It was probably because they were different in age and men tal state that the taste was different.
He opened the car door and did not continue. “Ramona, you can go back. I’ll leave first.”
Ramona was worried but could only say, “Okay.”
The car had already sped away.
On the way back to Creek Court, Leo told the studio about Sally.
The studio had always been preparing for it. This time, after receiving the order, they cooperated with the public relations team at the headquarters and quickly came up with a plan.
By Monday, there were almost no posts discussing Sally. Only some of Antoine’s fans. were still asking for an apology.
The team was also contacting Sally to post the apology, hoping that she would post it as soon as possible. Sally only said to wait another day.
Leo did not interfere with the studio’s plan. He only waited for the final outcome.
As a gossip netizen, Cullen had come to office Leo early in the morning to complain.
As he held his phone and chatted with someone, he sighed faintly. “Mr. Palmer, you are! really busy. You’re helping a beauty solve her troubles on the weekend. I want to be your lover.”
On the other hand, the chat box on his phone was commenting on Leo passionately. The words Cullen typed were even more sarcastic than the words he said.
Coincidentally, Leo also took a glance and naturally saw his chat partner.
