As soon as she finished speaking. Joe’s expression darkened and he frowned.
However, before the two people beside him could look over, he had already returned to looking nonchalant. She can go if she wants, as long as it doesn’t affect her work. The money I spent on her hasn’t been repaid yet.
Madison followed behind Joe. She stopped mentioning Blanche and changed the topic. “Joe, do you want to come with us tonight? The Hale family suddenly changed their mind and turned a family party into a huge party. Did they invite you?”
According to Blanche, the Hale family had invited almost the entire upper-class circle of Sidovor City. Even some families that they usually looked down on had been invited. Some low-profile wealthy families had also received invitations,
Of course, whether they went or not was their choice.
Although Joc did not use the Daves family’s name in Sidovor City. XR Entertainment was not a small company. He had some status in Sidovor City now, especially in the entertaiment industry.
As expected, the Hale family should have sent an invitation to him.
Joe snorted and did not deny it. “Are the Hale family worthy of letting me attend their party?”
His tone was filled with sarcasm. Whenever he mentioned the Hale family, Joe displayed an arrogant attitude.
“Does you mean that you’re not going, Joe?” Madison followed behind him, her eyes filled with humor. But Blanche is going too. What if some young man likes her…”
“What does that have to do with me?” Before Madison could finish speaking, she was hurriedly interrupted by Joc.
He stopped in his tracks and turned around to retort, “Blanche is just my artiste, Jessica. Stop thinking nonsense, okay?”
His footsteps stopped too suddenly and she was caught off guard. Madison bumped into Joe’s chest, causing her nose to hurt.
She covered her nose and nodded firmly. Her eyes turned bloodshot, and she looked aggrieved and pitiful.
“Is everything all right?” Antoine frowned and asked worriedly.

Joe also frowned at her.
Madison raised her head and waved her hand. She stated in a nasal voice. “It’s fine. It’ll
be fine after a while.”
Joe snorted. “Serves you right.”
Madison glared at him. “How can you still say that? Fortunately, my nose is real. If it is false like what those celebrities in your circle have, you would have to compensate me, do you know that?”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was silence for a moment. Then, the three of them burst into laughter and finally changed the topic.
In comparison, the atmosphere in the CEO’s office of the Palmer Group was not as good.
Early in the morning, Leo assigned all kinds of tasks, making it difficult for the subordinates to catch their breath.
It was only when Cullen strolled into the office with a cup of coffee that people felt more relaxed. “What’s this? Who provoked our big CEO, Mr. Palmer, this early in the morning?”
Not only did Cullen bring coffee, but he also brought breakfast over. He placed them on the coffee table in the office one by one and continued talking. “Let me guess. Did my adorable Jessica wake up early in the morning and give you, her ex-husband, a hard time? Or did you not satisfy yourself in some aspect last night? It’s carly in the morning
and…
“Cullen!” Before Cullen could say anything indecent, he was interrupted loudly by Leo.
However, the person who the anger was directed at did not feel anything at all. Cullen continued to fiddle with his breakfast slowly.
When he heard Leo call his name, he scratched his ear indifferently. “I can hear can hear you with both ears. You don’t have to shout, Leo.”
“Can you speak normally?” Leo could not stand it anymore.
you.
I
“Tsk. Listen to what you’re saying. How am I not normal?” Cullen couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him.
Leo narrowed at him. “You’re eating quite abnormally.”
Cullen was drinking coffee and eating a slice of tiramisu. Who in the world would eat tiramisu for breakfast?
Chapter 26
“What do you know? I’m starting the day with a dash of sweetness. Cullen snorted and retorted.
He finally placed all the food on the coffee table. Then, he slowly picked up his coffee and took a sip before slowly taking a bite of the tiramisu.
The tiramisu was freshly made and it tasted delicious. The scent of cream and coffee mixed with the existing scent from the aroma diffuser in the office. It smelled odd.
Leo couldn’t take it anymore. He put the pen down and covered it with the cap. His dark eyes looked at Cullen. “Can you go to the pantry and finish eating before coming
back?”
Cullen’s words were unclear as he ate. Tm busy.
As he ate, his gaze was still on the computer. His free hand tapped on the keyboard from time to time without looking at Leo.
It was obvious that he was still holding a grudge against Leo for tricking him yesterday.
Leo pursed his l*ps. After a moment of silence, he said slowly, “If you’re still angry about. what happened yesterday. I apologize to you. But you should know when you go back that Ronnie didn’t gain anything. What belongs to you still belongs to you.”
“Is he even worthy of taking advantage of me? He can get lost Cullen looked up. glanced at Leo, and snorted.
He wasn’t angry about Ronnic at all.
He was angry because Leo used Ronnie to disgust him.
However, the disdain on his face only lasted for a few seconds. Cullen suddenly sat up straight on the couch and his expression turned serious.
“Leo, don’t tell me you have multiple personality disorder? As soon as Cullen finished speaking, the office fell silent.
The man at the desk was also silent. He held the pen and did not move for a long time.
After a long time, he lowered his voice and looked up. “What did you say?”
Leo was indeed men tally ill. Ever since Edgar passed away, he had been seeing a psychiatrist.
However, he had never told anyone about this.
That included his mother, Amber, as well as Cullen.

Other than his exclusive doctor and himself, no one knew that he had a ment al illness.
However, he knew his condition very well. He had also seen the medical records. Other than claustrophobia, there were some other symptoms. Those did not affect his life much.
He did not have multiple personality disorder.
Cullen didn’t notice anything wrong with Leo. His eyes were fixed on the computer in front of him.
After pausing the video on the computer, he took the laptop and handed it to Leo. “Take a look for yourself. Does this person look like you?”
Leo’s face was filled with impatience, especially when Cullen leaned over. He wanted to push Cullen away.
However, when he saw what was on the computer, he suddenly froze.
He paused the surveillance video. He knew the time and place very well.
He had been to the Opal Heights Bar yesterday.
On the screen, the man in a suit was hiding in the crowd. Although half of his face was hidden in the light and shadow, the other half of his face and figure were revealed. It was Leo!
Cullen added, “When Jessica was drinking yesterday, we sensed that someone was secretly watching her. Coupled with what she said after getting drunk yesterday, I spent the night checking it out. I didn’t find anything overseas, but I found out that on the day. she returned to the country, someone tried to stalk her at the airport. Guess who’s behind it?”
Cullen clicked on the mouse and brought up another set of information, then he looked at Leo.
