Chapter 215
Sally never thought that she would one day be stopped at the entrance of the Palmer Group building.
Since the drama at the wedding yesterday, her mother had called Leo countless times, but she did not pick up. Sally had also sent a lot of messages, but they went unanswered. Sally could only come to look for Leo personally.
Unexpectedly, the security guards downstairs were so dumb as to stop her directly.
No matter what, Sally was once a top female celebrity in the country. Even if not everyone was her fan, they had seen her in advertisements.
Moreover, before those things happened, she often relied on Leo's permission to enter and exit Palmer Group's building. The people working here were more or less familiar.
It was lunch break. People passing by would glance at Sally. Some who recognized her even took out their phones to take photos. Sally couldn't hear what they said, but it wasn't anything good. They looked at Sally with obvious mockery.
Sally had never been treated like that before. Even if she was forced to leave the industry, she had been praised everywhere she went after returning home. She had never encountered such a situation. Sally felt embarrassed and also a little afraid.
What happened at the wedding was currently only spread among the upper-class circle. It had not been leaked to the public. At least from the news online, most people did not know.
However, it was precisely because of this that Sally, who was standing at Palmer Group's building, was afraid.
Stopping her from entering the Palmer Group meant that Leo would never protect her again. Without the Palmer family, who would care about the Hale family and her in the future?
Sally's expression became even more anxious. Ignoring the people coming and going around her, she shouted angrily to the security guards at the door, "Do you know who I am? I'm here to see Mr. Palmer!" In the past, Sally would have felt embarrassed and left the crowded place. Why would she speak up?
Unfortunately, Sally's arrogant attitude did not make the security guards bat an eye.
The two guards blocking the door were businesslike. "Have you made an appointment? If you have an appointment, please register at the front desk to get a visitation card. If not, please make an appointment in advance."
Sally gritted her teeth. When did she need to do that when she entered the Palmer Group building in the past? She had always entered through the VIP passage, but now, they were wary of her. Just as Sally was at his wit's end, she saw Morris walking over from the corner of her eye. She immediately felt as if she had seen her savior.
Morris did not expect Sally to stop him.
"Mr. Walton, did you just come back from your business outside? Coincidentally, I'm also here to look for Mr. Palmer. Shall we go up together?" Sally smiled at Morris as if nothing had happened. Morris silently took a step back. Other people in the company did not know about the wedding, but he knew.
After such a huge scandal, Sally acted as if nothing had happened. Morris didn't know if he should say that she was mentally strong or that she was shameless.
Morris hugged the materials in his arms and was expressionless. There was even a hint of disgust in his eyes. "Miss Hale, Mr. Palmer has already given us the order. All non-corporate employees are to follow the visiting procedure. I'm sorry." After saying that, he decided to walk around Sally to enter the office building.
Sally was exasperated and furious. "Mr. Walter, do you not want to continue working in Palmer Group?"
It was fine if Leo treated her like that, but what right did the lousy employees have to treat her like that? How dare the security guards at the entrance and the stupid assistant treat her in such a way! Morris stopped in his tracks and looked at Sally strangely. "Miss Hale, I signed a contract with Palmer Group. If I do not make a major mistake, I will continue to work here. Why are talking like this? You're not my boss, right?"Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"You!" Sally glared at Morris.
Morris still had a lot of things to do. He did not plan to say anything more to Sally and left. He did not even bother to say goodbye to her.
What was in the past was in the past. At that time, Leo was bewitched by Sally. As long as Sally did not go overboard, he would agree to whatever she wanted. Morris could only go along with it for the sake of money.
However, things were different now. With such a scandal, no man would protect Sally anymore.
Leo was being made a cuckold in front of so many guests in the hotel. Surely no man could tolerate it, right? Where did Sally get the cheek to come out and embarrass herself further? Morris did not understand and did not want to understand. He was an employee of Palmer Group, not Sally's assistant.
Sally stomped her feet in anger behind Morris. 'What a group of despicable bastards!' she thought.
Seeing that more people were watching her, Sally was too embarrassed to stay downstairs at Palmer Group's building. She could only put on her mask and hat and prepare to leave. Unwilling to give up, Sally called Leo after returning to the car. No matter what, she had to try, even if what had happened yesterday was too ludicrous.
Leo received a call from Sally on his way back to the company.
Initially, he did not intend to answer it. But after thinking about it, Leo felt that it was better to make some things clear so that there would not be unnecessary trouble in the future. The call connected, and Sally's aggrieved and sweet voice sounded. "Leo..."
Leo frowned. Why didn't he think that her voice was so false in the past?
He recalled the video at the wedding and felt nauseous because of her sweet voice.
After suppressing his discomfort, Leo spoke slowly, "Why are you looking for me?"
Leo's voice was as usual, but for some reason, Sally grew timid on the other end of the line.
The call was connected, but she did not dare to speak. Sally did not know what to say. The joy of hearing Leo's voice instantly vanished, leaving only cold sweat on her back.
"If there's nothing else, I'll talk." Leo also lost his patience. Thinking of the change in Madison's number for those three years, his eyes turned cold.
Three years. Leo had been deceived for three years. Perhaps even longer.
The scars that had appeared on Madison, her fear and timidity when she was drunk... Now that Leo thought about it, who else could it be other than Sally?
At the thought of that, the words that came out of Leo's mouth were icy. "I don't think I need to bring up the farce at the wedding yesterday. You and the Hale family should also know your place. We didn't get a marriage license to begin with, so this marriage is over. From now on, the Hale family and the Palmer family have nothing to do with each other. Do you understand?"
"Leo... H-how could you do this?" Sally's hands and feet were cold. She did not expect Leo to break things off so easily. How could he do this? He had promised to protect her for the rest of her life.
"Sally, do you need me to remind you what you've done? Where did you get the cheek to ask me such a question?" Leo's impatience was even more obvious. His head was also beginning to pound.
Fortunately, Sally had called. If they had met face-to-face, Leo could not guarantee what he would do to her. After all, he was not a good person.
When Leo listened to the sound of blood flowing in the dark room, he was afraid at first, he felt a little excited later.
Though Leo had suppressed some things by reason, that didn't mean they didn't exist.
