My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise novel Chapter 204

As expected, Joe's expression darkened.

However, Sergio did not notice it and continued speaking authoritatively, "In the past, Jessica was in Sidovor City. You could take care of her there. Now that Jessica is back, and the family is in Rozalia, there's no need for you to be alone in Sidovor City. Move the company back as soon as possible. I don't object to you being in the entertainment industry..."

Before Sergio could finish speaking, Joe interrupted him coldly, "Do you think your objection means anything?"

"What did you say?" Sergio did not expect Joe to react that way and was stunned.

"I said I don't need your permission for whatever I do." Joe did not speak lazily as he always did. His cold eyes stared straight at Sergio. He appeared almost hostile and unruly.

Madison was closest to him. She reached out and tugged at his arm, hoping that Joe could control his emotions.

However, as her fingers touched his sleeve, Joe shook her off forcefully. He got up from the couch and spoke coldly, "Have you taken care of me since I was young? Since you haven't, what right do you have to order me around?"

Joe was raised by John single-handedly. John didn't even say anything. Joe thought, 'What right did Father have to tell me what to do? What made him think I would obey him? Father had not done his part as a father, so how could he speak to me in such a lecturing tone?'

Sergio had yet to react to Joe's words. No one dared to speak to him in such a tone before. He was instantly infuriated.

He slammed his hand on the wooden coffee table, making a dull sound. Sergio spoke furiously, "Who taught you to speak to your father so rudely? How old do you think you are?"

Joe picked up the suit jacket on the couch and put it on. "No one taught me. It's precisely because no one taught me that I'm so rude. Satisfied?"

Joe looked away indifferently and left.

"Joe!" Seeing that, Madison could not sit still anymore. She picked up her phone and hurriedly chased after him.

Afraid that Sergio and Rosalie would be worried, she told them, "I'll go talk to Joe. John, you also talk to Dad and Mom. Don't follow me. I'll be back soon!" Then, Madison left in a hurry.

"Jessica!" The people in the room could not stop Madison in time. They were even more worried that chasing after her would make things worse. After shouting, they listened to Madison and did not follow. They could only look out into the night worriedly.

The Daves family's residence was huge. There were only a few dim street lamps along the stone path shining on the ground through the trees.

Madison came out slightly later than Joe. Joe's legs were long and he walked quickly. After making a turn, she could no longer see Joe.

"Joe!" She ran after him, but when she reached a fork in the road, she did not know which to choose. She was suddenly at a loss. "Joe, can you slow down? Can you at least take me away?"

Madison was afraid of going the wrong way, so she stopped at the fork and tried to find Joe using the lights ahead. Unfortunately, she couldn't see anything.

It was windy at night. Madison came out in a hurry and did not put on any jacket. When the wind blew, goosebumps appeared on her arms. "Joe! Are you going back on your word again?"

Madison waited for a moment, but there was no response. She chose the wider path and walked ahead. Her voice choked as she shouted for Joe.

She initially wanted to have a good talk with Joe today to ease the situation between him and their parents. Unexpectedly, they started arguing before she even started.

Madison rubbed her arms and walked tentatively. Suddenly, a light cough came from behind her and someone patted her shoulder.

Madison was shocked and yelped. When she turned around and looked up, she saw Joe's nonchalant eyes.

Without thinking, Madison punched him. "Joe, you scared me to death!"

Her punch landed on Joe like a feather's caress. He looked at Madison in exasperation. "How dare you chase after me alone? You're so timid. What are you thinking?" As Joe spoke, he took off his jacket and wrapped it tightly around Madison.
