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, you 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 bitch! 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 bitch 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 bitch 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.
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 bitch. 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."
