The clothes on her shoulder fell to the ground, and the two of them fell into a confrontation.
Madison really did not understand where his hostility toward Joe and the rest came from.
It was ridiculous to say that it was because he had misunderstood her relationship with Joc.
Putting aside the fact that she and Joe were family, even if they were really a couple as he had
misunderstood, so what? They were going to get a divorce.
She would always meet new men in the future.
If it weren’t Joe, someone else would be suitable for her. Could it be that she couldn’t date and get
married in the future?
Moreover, who she was with had nothing to do with Leo..
If it was not a misunderstanding, Madison would be even more confused.
Joe’s business was in Sidovor City, and it had no interaction with Leo at all. As for the Daves family’s
other businesses, although they were competing with the Palmer family, one was in Sidovor City and
the other was in Rozalia. They had always minded their own business. Where did Leo’s hostility come
from?
Other than saying that he was crazy, she couldn’t think of any other explanation. The stalemate was
broken by Madison.
She bent down and picked up Joe’s suit. Then she patted it and tidied it putting it on her arm.
up
before
“Alright, as you said, I’ve lost contact with the Daves family. You can finish the divorce procedures with
me tomorrow morning.”
Leo pursed his thin lips and glanced at the suit on her arm.
He looked up again and his tone was cold.
“Finish the divorce procedures, and then what? You’ll play me like a fool again and continue to attend
various events with the Daves family people, right?”
Madison smiled helplessly and tilted her head at him.
“That’s right. You can already imagine that I will be friends with them again after we get
a divorce. Why do you have to make such an unreasonable request?”
It would be ridiculous not to contact her family again.
Leo looked away and turned around, ready to leave. “Then there’s nothing to talk about. Rest early.”
“Leo, are you planning to never divorce me?”
Madison called out to him. Her tone was calm as she looked at his back.
“I don’t care. I don’t mind not getting married for the rest of my life. But what about! you? You have
someone you like, and the person you like is waiting for you. Why do you have to hold on to me?
You’re even holding yourself back.”
“You’re the one who delayed me first.” Leo didn’t even turn around.
“Yes, I was indeed the one who delayed you first. I-apologize for making you and Sally miss each other
for three years for no reason.”
Madison was helpless. She could only try her best to make things clear.
“But since it’s a mistake, why don’t you stop it now?
“I don’t understand why you’re hostile to the Daves family. As I said, Joe and I are partners. I haven’t
done anything to let you down while we are still husband and wife. I won’t embarrass you.
“If you think that I went back to this country with the intention of divorcing you and that my concealment
makes you uncomfortable, I’ll apologize to you again. I’m sorry.” She bowed to him for a long moment
before straightening up her back..
When Leo turned around again, the first thing he saw was her bending down and straightening up.
Therefore, she would rather make so many concessions in order to get a divorce.
She was so unyielding at the venue and refused to even take a step back on the passenger seat issue,
but now she was willing to bend down.
Why?
Naturally, it was because she did not love him anymore, so she was anxious to get out of this marriage.
She no longer loved him.
Humph…
When she loved him, she had to marry him. When she didn’t love him, she wanted to turn around and
leave. How could it be so easy?
“Are you in a hurry to get a divorce?”
When he spoke again, his tone was not as angry as before, but he no longer had the gentleness of
making hot lemon water for her.
Madison frowned. She did not quite understand his question.
She shook her head. “I told you I wasn’t in a hurry. If you insist on delaying it, you’re holding yourself
back, not me.”
Leo sneered. “Since you’re not in a hurry, why are you rushing me?”
“But…”
“It’s none of your business between me and Sally!”
Before Madison could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Leo. It was as if it was a sin for her to
speak.
She was shocked by his sudden anger. She pursed her lips and looked at him silently.
In the past, no matter how angry he was, he had never been like this.
Leo did not realize how scary he looked at this moment.
He looked at Madison indifferently and said in a mocking tone.
“Anyway, three years have been delayed. It doesn’t matter if it takes a while. On the other hand, Mrs.
Palmer, you have been thinking of divorcing me since you returned to the country. How can I divorce
you without even letting you experience being Mrs. Palmer?
“You’re not in a hurry, and neither am I. Let’s just delay each other like this for now.”
At this point, Madison understood everything.
He was clearly doing it on purpose!
If she was unhappy, he would be happy. If she wanted a divorce, he would delay it. How was he hostile
to the Daves family? He was hostile to her, which was why he was unhappy with everyone around her!
Madison gritted her teeth and glared at Leo fiercely.

“Up to you! It’s fine if you don’t want to get a divorce. Do you think you can scare me?”
She sat down on the sofa angrily, unwilling to give Leo a kind face.
“However, Leo, you have to keep an eye on your next wife. Don’t let her find trouble with me because
you don’t want a divorce. I still want to live well!”
Leo was stunned for a second. He wanted to retort that Sally would not do such a thing, but he
remembered what happened in the Hale family last time and changed his words.
“She was in the wrong last time, but it was also because of her illness that she did some immoral
things. Her condition has improved, and it won’t happen again.”
Madison sneered and did not respond.
The illness was really a great excuse!
Three years ago, it was because Sally was sick, and three years later, it was again. A me ntal illness
was really a omnipotent reason. Sally had broken the law, but Leo said that she just did an immoral
thing.
How ridiculous.
From the time Sally returned to the diagnosis of emotional disorder, she had heard countless similar
words.
“You’re the older sister. You have to give in to your younger sister and be more sensible.”
“You’re just the Hale family’s adopted daughter. Sally is the Hale family’s real daughter. The Hale family
providing you food and raising you is already a huge gift. What else do you want?”
“Sally is sick. Can’t you be more understanding? Must you be so unreasonable?”
In the past, people from the Hale family said that. Now, Leo said the same thing. It was not a big deal.
Besides, he didn’t say it out loud in the past, but his actions revealed his thoughts long ago, didn’t
they?
What was there to argue for?,
Leo probably also felt that this sentence was too much. He looked at her shoulder and was silent for a
while. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
After a while, he explained, “I’m not trying to absolve Sally. It’s indeed her fault for hiring the murderer. I
apologize to you on her behalf. As long as I can satisfy you, you can ask for any compensation you
want

It would have been better if he hadn’t said it, but Madison felt even more ironic when he said it.
“You’re so nice to Sally.”
She turned sideways on the sofa and smiled at Leo.
Leo frowned.
Just as he was about to explain, Madison spoke again, “Can I really mention anything?”
Leo pondered for a moment. “Under the conditions that I can satisfy at the moment.”
In other words, she could not bring up the divorce now.
Madison did not plan to bring up divorce again. After mentioning it many times, even she felt annoyed.
Whether he agreed to divorce or not, she didn’t care.
She stood up from the sofa with the suit. “Then send me away. I don’t want to stay here.”
