Chapter 192
Sally didn't waste any time. After putting the online matter aside, she called Leo to talk about the wedding dress and ring.
Leo had just finished a meeting. After the meeting, one of the members of the board spoke to him about the matter.
His words were very tactful. Although the Palmer Group was a company that Edgar had started, it was not entirely a one-man company today. The company still had many shareholders and employees. Leo was reminded that his marriage was a private matter, but it should not implicate the company.
Before Leo could react, he was thinking about what Madison could do to implicate the company. She was always helping out at the Rose Garden.
Just as he was about to ask, Leo received a call from Sally. Only then did he remember that he had already divorced Madison. Moreover, the date of his wedding with Sally had been set. Naturally, Madison was not the topic of their discussion.
The member of the board also caught a glimpse of the caller ID on Leo's phone. He smiled and nodded at Leo before leaving. The expression in his eyes was obvious-he wanted Leo to deal with the behavior of Sally.
Leo was not in a hurry to answer the call. The phone rang till the call was disconnected automatically. Leo returned to his office to read the trending topics on his tablet.
At the top of the trending searches was the wedding that he was about to hold with Sally.
For some strange reason, Leo felt a little frustrated when he saw his name appear together with Sally.
However, he did not have time to think about this. His gaze was quickly attracted by the name Madison below. His fingers could not help but click on the entry.
The top post was the photo Antoine had posted. The bright smiles on everyone's faces only made Leo feel uncomfortable.
Especially Joe who was standing behind them, making a monkey face. He looked so ugly.
There were actually people who felt that Madison and Joe looked a little like each other. They looked like a very compatible couple.
Leo did not feel that they were compatible at all!
Leo was so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot. When his phone rang again, he ended the call without answering it. He clicked on the other account that he had registered to contact Sylvia and angrily pressed the thumbs-down icon.
Leo even wanted to comment using this comment that Madison and Joe were not the least compatible, but when his gaze landed on the photo, he suddenly stopped.
Leo clicked on it and enlarged the photo with his finger.
He noticed that the scar left by the sharp blade was even more obvious on her fair skin. That made Leo feel pain.
Leo spent a few minutes quickly figuring out how Madison got that scar on her neck. He had a ruthless look in his eyes.
Leo thought, 'She wanted to sever all ties with me? It didn't seem that the men beside her protected her well!'
Leo was about to search for Madison's account to question her when Sally called again.
He glanced at the caller ID and suppressed his emotions before answering the call.
The voice on the other end of the line was delicate and weak. Sally asked, "Leo, why did you pick up the phone after so long? Are you busy?"
Leo's gaze was still on the photo. He frowned as he looked at the scar.
He did not want to think what would happen if the person holding the knife had used more strength...
His frustration surged again, and even his impatience toward Sally over the phone could be heard. "What's the matter?"
However, Sally did not sense it. She thought that Leo was as indifferent as usual and went straight to the point. "Leo, the wedding dress and ring you asked Morris to send me are a little small. Can you ask him to come and collect them in the afternoon?"
She sent a message to Morris, but for some reason, ever since she mentioned Green Water Bay's house to him last time, Morris had been extremely perfunctory with her. Hence, Sally decided to call Leo.
After all, the wedding dress and ring were important. Moreover, Sally felt that there should be more diamonds on the ring. It would be better to add a round of diamonds to it. Leo replied indifferently, "I'll tell Morris later."
Sally was very happy to hear what Leo said. "Okay! I'll not disturb you now. I'll hang up first."
Surprisingly, Leo stopped her. "Is there nothing else?"
His voice was devoid of any emotions.
Sally was stunned for a moment. She thought quickly and guessed what Leo meant. "There's one more thing..."
She remembered what Ramona had taught her. Men's hearts would go soft for weak women. She immediately suppressed her voice and choked. "I saw Madison being threatened with a knife. That criminal even said that he was my fan. I don't know if she is alright. I sent her a message to apologize, but she ignored me. I really don't know anything about this matter. I don't even have an online account now, and I can't explain anything. I don't know how to restrain these fans..."
Leo was silent for a moment.
After a while, he said indifferently, "It really has nothing to do with you?"
Sally was stunned.
In her impression, every time she felt aggrieved, Leo would relent and say that it was fine. He would not ask any more questions.
But this time, he actually asked if she had anything to do with this matter.
Even if it really had nothing to do with her this time, Sally still gritted her teeth.
"Leo, don't you believe me? During this period of time, I've either been in the hospital for checkups or at home preparing for our wedding. How would I have the time to instigate my fans? Besides, I've already been expelled from the industry. Why would I look for them?"
Leo remained silent.
Sally was a little anxious. After all, the Palmer family had only agreed to let them hold the wedding ceremony. They would need to wait for another two years to get their wedding certificate.
If Sally made Leo angry, someone else might take the title of Mrs. Palmer.
Moreover, they were just preparing for the wedding ceremony.
Sally hurriedly said, "Leo, you to believe me! This matter really has nothing to do with me. I can swear! Curse me if I...
"You don't have to say that. I believe you."
Leo interrupted her.
He switched off the tablet and tried his best to get rid of the photo from his mind. He suppressed his emotions and said, "I'll get someone to settle the wedding dress and ring as soon as possible. You don't have to worry about anything else, and don't pay any more money online to buy attention to our wedding ceremony. As for your fans, they will pay for the consequences, but I hope that this won't happen again in the future."
Even if Sally had already left the industry, the studio definitely had channels to contact their fans.
As long as she wanted to, she could naturally advise her fans from doing anything illegal.
Even if it wasn't Madison who was injured, Leo had to remind Sally about her behavior, just like how the higher management reminded Leo.
Sally agreed obediently. "I understand. I'll take care of these things."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Leo nodded and ended the call.
At this moment, the office door was pushed open. It was Cullen.
As always, he had some food and drinks in his hands.
It was rare that he did not greet Leo when he entered this time. Instead, he just slouched on the couch.
To be precise, Cullen had been ignoring Leo since Leo and Sally announced their wedding date.
Other than discussing official business, Cullen rarely took the initiative to talk.
Although Leo was not used to it, he was okay about the silence around him. He could not be bothered to say anything.
But today...
Leo knocked on the table and looked up at Cullen. "Do you want to go to the Rose Garden?"
