My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise novel Chapter 14

That was impossible.

Leo quickly dispelled the thought from his mind.

'She is an orphan without parents and has been out of the country for three years. Her friends are just those street hooligans. How can she afford a luxury sports car? After being driven away from the Hale family, where else can she go besides the villa?' he thought.

But the villa was pitch dark.

The master bedroom on the second floor was empty and spotlessly clean. Except for the newly laid bedsheet that indicated someone had lived there, there were no other traces of her left.

Even that old suitcase had disappeared.

After returning to Creek Court, Leo searched inside and out, but there was no sign of her.

His eyes darkened, and he called his assistant, Morris Walton. "Find out where Madison is. Also, compile information on her activities abroad over the past three years and send it to me."

"Yes, sir," Morris replied. He found Leo's instruction puzzling and asked, "Didn't you plan to divorce Miss Hale, Mr. Palmer? Why are we running an investigation on her?"

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Leo's voice came through the phone again. It was filled with coldness. "Have you sent the divorce agreement over?"

"Sorry, Mr. Palmer, I haven't had the chance yet," Morris apologized guiltily and went on to explain. "The contract between M&L Studio and us has expired, and they expressed no intention to renew it. We've been busy with this matter over the last two days, but we haven't been able to contact Sylvia, their designer. Thus, the issue between you and Miss Hale was temporarily put on hold."

Leo frowned slightly. He asked, "They are unwilling to renew even if we offer three times the price?"

"Yes. They even stated that they wouldn't agree even if the price were ten times higher." Morris's tone became anxious. "The cooperation with M&L Studio has been smooth sailing for the past three years. We don't think we have offended their designer. However, even though our offer is very attractive, we haven't found the reason why M&L Studio doesn't want to continue the contract with us. We are still trying to contact and communicate with them."

Three years ago, just after Edgar passed away, the huge company fell into the hands of a young man in his twenties. Furthermore, it was a man who couldn't even decide his own marriage. Many members of the Palmer family were waiting to see him fail.

The cooperation with M&L Studio directly increased Palmer Jewelry's net profit by three hundred percent in the first quarter, and then business revenue remained stable.

With the confidence gained from this, other projects also progressed smoothly under Leo's bold actions.

It could be said that Leo's quick establishment in the group is closely related to M&L Studio.

Now, the three-year contract expired. He did not understand why the other party refused to renew their cooperation.

Leo fell silent momentarily before saying, "Put aside the matter of my divorce from Madison for now. Investigate Sylvia's recent movements. I'll personally go to discuss the renewal."
