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

Chapter 160

After being reminded by her staff, Sally became aware of the online fiasco.

As a public figure, one must pay attention to their image in front of others. Otherwise, no matter how

capable the PR team was, sooner or later people would see the artist self- destructing.

Even her mother, Ramona, visited her in the hospital to caution her about her behavior.

Men favored kindness in women, and Ramona reminded Sally that pretense would only work for so

long before their true nature was revealed, especially in front of influential figures like Leo.

Thinking back to the evening banquet at the Hale family, when Madison revealed her scars in front of

so many high society ladies and gentlemen, Ramona couldn’t help but grit her teeth with hatred. She

earnestly advised Sally.

Sally was impatient and said, “Mom, I already know what you’re talking about. I will pay attention in the

future. But that little nurse doesn’t need to be taken care of. She’s just a se rvant. If she gets scolded,

so be it. How can I manage all my fans one by one? It’s not like I told them to go and scold that nurse.

Besides, she was the one who started insulting me online, and my fans only fought back. They didn’t

just randomly attack her.”

She let out a soft hum, set down her phone, and sipped the soup that Ramona had brought.

“But…” Ramona wanted to say something, but before she could even utter a word, she was interrupted

by Sally shouting.

“Enough, Mom. I’m tired of talking about it. I have a terrible headache. Ever since that incident caused

by Madison a few days ago, I’ve been constantly criticized online. And these past few days, someone

anonymously mentioned my detention, which scared me to death thinking that I could never be a

celebrity again. Now that the situation has finally cooled down, I still have to worry about a nurse whose

face I can’t even remember. It would be better for me to just bang my head and die.” Sally complained.

“Okay, okay, okay. Mom won’t say anymore. You go ahead and eat your meal properly first.” Ramona

said.

Ramona’s heart ached at her daughter’s words and the visible wound on her forehead. She stopped

speaking and simply wished for Sally to eat and recover.

Sally, after a sip of soup, reassured her mother of her obedience. “Alright, Mom, I understand. I’ll keep

my temper in check in public. Thanks for the food.”

Despite her reassurance, Ramona was concerned. The hospital staff didn’t know the best way to

handle Sally, and she didn’t fully grasp how to care for others.

Sally was destined to be entangled with the Palmer Group, a prospect Ramona viewed with dismay,

noting her daughter’s lack of foresight.

Ramona decided to shift the conversation to a lighter topic, asking about Leo’s mention of a wedding.

“Did Leo tell you when the wedding will be? You two are divorced now, right? When will you start

planning?”

Sally’s heart sank at the mention of Madison’s name. The pain of Leo’s indifference since the banquet

was palpable.

‘Although he promised to marry me with his mouth, he is not as caring as before and even shows some

indifference. It seems that marrying me is just like when Edgar was asked to marry Madison back then,

it is just a task. Sally thought.

Ramona immediately noticed the change in her daughter’s demeanor and prodded. gently, “What’s

wrong? Didn’t Leo discuss the wedding with you?”

“How can I, as a girl, bring up this matter? Besides, there have been so many things happening

recently, and it has also affected his company. He’s probably very busy… Sally said.

Sally, embarrassed, admitted she hadn’t broached the subject again.

She was too proud to pester Leo for details, despite his vague promise to marry her. Her pride wouldn’t

allow her to ask him repeatedly about setting a date.

Moreover, it was Leo who had initially proposed marriage to Madison. He was the one eager to tie the

knot. Sally found herself questioning. Why should I be the one to always make the first move? For

years, whenever I took the initiative, she showed no interest. And now, with his busy schedule… Leo

must be swamped with work, managing both the highs and lows at the company. Plus, the recent buzz

surrounding the Palmer Group must be consuming all his time. Yet, he still finds moments to take

Madison to the hospital. In Sally’s eyes, this was all Madison’s doing. She bitterly felt that Madison had

stolen not just her dream life but also the man she loved.

Her mother, Ramona, did not press further, choosing instead to simply remind her. “Ignore the gossip,

but remember who you are. And if Leo comes around, ask him. about the wedding plans. Be discreet,

but be direct.”

“Got it, Mom. You’re in a hurry to marry me off.” Sally replied.

Sally responded with a mixture of desire to know the exact wedding date and resistance. to being

pushed into marriage.

Ramona, touching her daughter’s forehead, offered a perspective, suggesting that if Sally married Leo,

she would be part of the Palmer family and no longer need to stay in the Hale family home. She could

visit Ramona whenever she wished, implying a certain freedom that marriage could bring.

Sally felt a pang of discontent when she thought about her family’s ties to the Palmers and the

engagement that intertwined their destinies.

The Palmer family had always been a thorn in her side, particularly Amber, who mirrored the elder

Palmer’s temper.

Sally just didn’t understand. “The Palmer family was engaged to the Hale family, and I am the true

daughter of the Hale family. Why should Madison be allowed to marry into it? But what’s the point of

getting married? They still ended up divorcing, and now her son wants to marry me. When the time

comes and this Amber dies, I can still move back to my old house, let’s see who can outlast whom she

doubted.

Sally’s mood lifted as she contemplated these thoughts. “I’ll be discharged in two days,” she reassured

her mother. “When Leo visits, I’ll discuss everything with him.”

Her thoughts were interrupted by her mother’s practical advice about life after marriage. Sally realized

that if she moved out after marrying, she would need to find a new residence. The condition of Morris’s

place at Green Water Bay was deteriorating, and she needed to take action.

Her mother was right. When she got married, she would definitely live outside. Green Water Bay’s

place was not bad, but Morris was getting worse and worse. He had yet to find a designer for her. She

had to send a message to ask.

At Green Water Bay.

Because Cullen parked the car here, Madison had to temporarily give up staying at Joe’s place tonight

and come back to his rented house on this side to take a look.

Coincidentally, Morris had already prepared all the various documents for transferring the house

ownership and put them together in the car.

“You’re really efficient,” she acknowledged, perhaps begrudgingly.

The documents for the transfer of properties at Green Water Bay, as well as some other documents

from Creek Court, sat on the front passenger seat of the car. Madison was now officially a resident of

Sidovor City, having accumulated assets exceeding a billion.

yuan.

Morris, meticulous as ever, had even sent reminders via WhatsApp about the

Chapter 160

remaining asset transfers.

Flipping through the documents with a nonchalant air, Madison’s lips curled into a smirk. “Leo’s

generosity is quite something. Seems like marrying him isn’t such a bad deal after all.”

She roughly flipped through it and smacked her lips. “Leo is really generous. Looks like I didn’t lose out

by getting married.”

Joe glanced at Madison, his expression one of mild annoyance. “If you were to take charge of the

company, the wealth could easily surpass 200 million dollars.”

Madison brushed off the comment, “I’d rather live comfortably without the has sle. Let’s have John

manage it.”

With a throbbing headache from the mere thought of corporate responsibilities, Madison held onto Joe’

arm, her attention captured by her phone-a clear sign of her addiction to the digital world.

Joe, about to chide her for the unhealthy habit, hesitated as he caught a glimpse of her phone screen,

deciding instead to let the moment pass without criticism..
