It should have been a decision made long ago, but at that instant, Leo still hesitated.
After a moment, he softly said, “I won’t break my promise to you.”
Sally, with tears in her eyes, broke into a smile. She threw herself into Leo’s arms.
She said, “Then I can rest assured. I won’t make any mistakes like today in the future. I’ll apologize to
Madison properly another day, okay?”
Leo’s body stiffened. His brows were slightly furrowed. “Sure…” he said.
Sally didn’t push further. She released him and smiled sweetly at him. “Alright, Leo, your can go back
now. I’ll take my medicine and get better.”
Leo gave her a profound look, acknowledged her statement with a nod, and turned
away.
After his tall figure disappeared from her sight, the sweet smile on Sally’s innocent face vanished
instantly.
“That b itch! If I had known back then, I would have kicked her out. Otherwise, I
wouldn’t have lost face in front of Leo today! And with so many people watching! What bad luck!” Sally
grumbled.
“Alright. Alright. In any case, that little bi tch has divorced from Leo. When you married Leo and are one
of the Palmer family, why would you still be thinking about that lowly Madison?” Ramona came to her
side and consoled her.
Sally snorted. She still felt aggrieved.
“If it weren’t for you saying back then that driving her away would be bad for the Hale family’s
reputation, how could such a good thing as marrying Leo fall on her? Madison stole my identity in the
first place, yet you guys were reluctant to drive her away!” Sally complained.
Ramona explained, “It’s not that I was reluctant. Edgar liked her, so I had no choice but to consider the
bigger picture.”
Ramona also felt uncomfortable when she realized she had been raising a daughter who was of no
blood relation to her for over ten years.
If it wasn’t for that little bi tch catching Edgar’s fancy and that Ramona was afraid that if she kicked
Madison out of the house, Edgar would renege on the marriage arrangement. Ramona would have
chased Madison out of the Hale family long ago.
Mon, 22 Jan
Madison had remained with the Hale family and used their resources and spent their money, yet now
she turned on them. She was such an ingrate!
“Now that Edgar has passed away and Leo has been good to you these past three years, this marriage
is set in stone. You rushed things tonight and shouldn’t have personally gone to provoke that bitc h. In
the future, no matter what happens, you must watch out. You mustn’t go do it yourself, understand?”
Ramona reminded Sally.
Sally pouted again. “I was just worried that the plan would not come to fruition.”
had failed twice already. She didn’t know where Madison met those rascals either. But
comehow, Madison managed to evade each time.
Seeing that Ramona was going to say something, Sally embraced Ramona and cajoled. “Look, Mum,
once Leo and I are married, there won’t be any more controversies. This time, I was just afraid that
there would be unexpected incidents and want to thoroughly ruin her. That is why I called people over.
It won’t happen again in the future. Besides, Leo didn’t say anything, did he?”
“Men might not say anything, but what if they think differently?” Ramona advised. She suggested, “Go
to Leo’s side for the next few days and act pitiful like you used to, just like before. Do. you
understand?”
Sally nodded. “Got it. Thanks, Mom.”
Upon leaving the villa, Madison immediately spotted the flashy red sports car parked by the road and
the man leaning against the car dressed in a pink floral shirt.
She suddenly felt a wave of reluctance overcome her. She did not want to approach him.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Joe Daves had raised his head and saw her. He picked up a bouquet of bright red roses. from the
passenger seat and walked straight towards her.
He smiled brightly as he said, “Happy birthday, my little princess!”
Madison’s face burnt, and goosebumps erupted on her skin. Still, she managed to force a smile and Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
accepted the roses. “If you weren’t my brother, I’d pretend not to know you.”
“You little brat, do you know how to speak properly?” Joe was annoyed and explained in all
seriousness, “I got this red sports car to celebrate your rebirth, you know? It’s festive! And the roses
are because you like them. This is the first time I have given someone. flowers. Be satisfied!”
Madison laughed heartily. “Alright, alright. Thank you, Joe!”
She turned her head, not forgetting to bid farewell to Blanche beside her.
“Miss Malone, my brother came to pick me up. I’ll leave first.”

Blanche’s expression had already frozen as soon as she recognized the person bringing flowers.
‘He… is your brother?”
Joe was the CEO of XR Entertainment, which produced almost all the A-list artists in recent years. The
first movie they made directly topped 4 billion at the box office, not to mention other achievements.
Netizens were still discussing the self-produced TV series that came out a few years ago and was still
popular.
Blanche had always dreamt of signing with this company, and now the boss of XR Entertainment was
standing right before her.
Furthermore, it seemed as though he was Madison’s brother?
