Chapter 15
Madison’s movements paused for a moment.
For an instant, she thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. ‘How could I run into Leo here? The
Palmer Group is not located in the CTR Times Square building, isn’t it?” she wondered.
“Why is he here?” Joe followed her gaze and saw the man. A disdainful look crossed his face.
Madison only hesitated momentarily before quickly figuring out why the man would be there.
Perhaps he found out that M&L. Studio would sign with XR Entertainment today and decided to wait
there, hoping to intercept Sylvia. Unfortunately, he didn’t know that his wife, whom he had abandoned
overseas for three years, was Sylvia, the designer of M&L Studio.
“Ignore him,” Madison said nonchalantly as she withdrew her gaze.
After all, they had already divorced. She did not intend to be friends with her ex- husband and did not
even want to greet him. After taking the roses from Joe, she walked side by side with him. her
demeanor elegant and leisurely.
Leo had never seen Madison like this.
Her ugly and heavy bangs were combed up and woven into a braid along with her long. hair, revealing
a delicate and radiant face that was extremely dazzling in the sunlight.
He stared at her intently, trying to convince himself that the woman before him was not Madison!
In Leo’s mind, she was a woman who always kept her head down and was reserved and. uninteresting.
She even spoke cautiously and meekly! How could she be a woman who exuded such charm in her
every move?
Even though there was a considerable distance between them, Leo could distinctly see the crescent-
shaped scar on her forehead.
Madison had gotten it from falling from a tree when they were children and were fooling around. She
found the scar cute and refused to remove it. It became a reason for the elders to tease him every year.
After Sally returned, Madison covered her forehead with bangs, and no one brought up their childhood
antics again.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere were many people with similar appearances, but they couldn’t have identical
scars.
This woman was undoubtedly her!
The person who had disappeared for a week just reappeared before him. Leo didn’t think twice and
walked toward Madison, not bothering to question why she was there.
As he approached, he saw the tall man who had given her roses move closer to Madison, his long arm
encircling her slender waist…
Leo’s black eyes suddenly darkened. His body reacted his mind could, and he threw a fierce punch
towards that face!
His action caught everyone off guard.
Madison was astonished. It took a moment before she realized what happened. She didn’t have time to
shout at Leo for what he had done. Instead, she went to take a look at Joe’s injury.
Before she could reach Joe, her wrist was caught.
She struggled to free her hand. “Leo, let go of me!”
Leo’s strength was overwhelming. He easily pulled her before him. “Madison, your disappeared for a
week. Is this what you were up to? Have you been fooling around like
this?”
Madison was so angry that her face turned red. She wanted to hit him. “Leo, are you crazy? You’re
hurting me. Let go of me now!”
At her words, the strength in the man’s hands loosened slightly, but he still tightly. restrained her. “This
is not the place you should be. Come home with me.”
Madison almost barked out a laugh. “Leo, are you out of your mind? If you are, your need a hospital.
Why is this not a place where I should be? Is it illegal for me to come here to discuss work? Moreover,
why should I go home with you? Let go of me!”
“Discuss work? Does discussing work require receiving flowers from a man?” Leo demanded.
Leo suddenly thought of the woman holding the red roses he had seen that night. The image in his
mind matched the woman in front of him, and his anger burned even more intensely.
Leo went on to say, “Madison, even if you were kicked out of the Hale family, you shouldn’t have fallen
so low. Do you know what kind of person he is?”

Joe, who had just recovered from the punch, couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing that. “Mr. Palmer,
please tell me, what kind of person am I? Is there any law that says I can’t give someone flowers? Also,
accepting a bouquet of roses doesn’t mean she has ‘fallen low.’ If that is the case, how many people in
this world ‘fall low every day?”
Joe wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Leo with a sneer.
Joe now realized that the man misunderstood when he saw him giving Madison the bouquet of flowers.
Although sending roses was quite misleading, but… what qualifications did Leo have to make such
assumptions?
Leo was the one who abandoned his wife and left her overseas without a word for three years, and
now he was pretending to care. It was truly laughable!
Leo pulled Madison behind him and locked eyes with Joe. He said, “Mr. Daves, there are some things
we are clear about that go without being said. The entertainment industry is murky, and Mr. Daves is
used to this circle. How can you not be aware of what I mean? My wife hasn’t seen much of the world. I
hope Mr. Daves can let her off.”
“Leo, we’re already divorced. Do I need your permission to accept a bouquet of roses? What right do
you have to mind my business?” Madison retorted as she forcefully
shook off his hand.
Perhaps triggered by the word ‘divorce, Leo’s anger flared up. The strength in his hands suddenly
eased a bit, allowing her to break free easily.
Her wrist was now red. She frowned as she rubbed it. She walked directly to Joe’s side. and leaned
against him.
“Is it red?” Joe asked worriedly.
After Madison returned to their family, everyone treated her with care and tenderness, afraid she might
get hurt. Now, the man made his sister’s hand turn red without even laying a hand on her. If he had hit
her, what would have happened the
“Does it hurt? Shall I take you upstairs to apply some ointment to it?” Joe asked.
It was not that

quite aggrieved.
Leo initially felt a bit guilty because of the red mark on her wrist, but as soon as he looked up, he saw
the two people intimately huddled together. It was a sight more glaring than that red mark.
“Madison, we’ve only signed the divorce agreement. Until the procedures are finalized,

you are still my wife,” Leo reminded her.
At his words, Madison’s steps pause.

She slowly lifted her gaze. A scornful smile appeared on her face. She said, “Wife? Mr. Palmer, don’t
you find it amusing to acknowledge me as your wife now? Furthermore, even if the formalities are not
yet completed, aren’t I still your wife in name only? Can’t I look for my second husband in advance?
After all, you have already taken care of your Sally while we are still married.”
“Second husband?” Leo repeated, gritting his teeth.
His deep, dark eyes stared sharply at Madison. His chest tightened with suppressed frustration.
He attributed his anger to Joe. “Is this the candidate for your second husband? How bad is your taste?”
Joe became unhappy upon hearing this. “Mr. Palmer, what do you mean by that? My Madison is better
at choosing her second husband than her first, don’t you think?”
Leo coldly glanced over at him. “Your Madison?” he echoed
Joe asserted confidently. “If she’s not mine, then is she yours?”
“That’s enough!” Madison interrupted the childish squabble between the two of them. The quarrel
stopped immediately.
She looked up and calmly addressed Leo, “Mr. Palmer, instead of lecturing me here, why don’t you
take the time to finalize the procedures? I know my judgment of people is very poor, but you are not
qualified to interfere in my life.”
Leo’s anger, which hadn’t subsided, surged again. “I am not qualified? As long as I don’t go through the
divorce procedures, you are still my wife. And you say I am not qualified?”
Madison curved her red lips. She suddenly stepped forward. “Mr. Palmer, are you not planning to marry
Sally anymore?”
