When Cullen arrived at the office, he was shocked when he pushed the door open.
Leo was dressed in a suit and leather shoes and seated at his desk. He stared at the phone with a smashed screen in front of him with a scraggly beard. He seemed utterly depressed.
His palm was cut, resulting in another mark on the originally healed scar. The dried blood had solidified on the wound, making it look very sinister and terrifying.
Cullen's gaze turned bewildered. He did not go to his usual seat. Cullen walked over and rapped his knuckles on Leo's table. "Leo, are you okay?"
Leo did not say anything. His deep gaze was still fixed on the broken phone in front of him.
Cullen did not know what to say either. He scratched his head and stared at Leo for a while. "Don't be too emotional because of what happened yesterday. Sally... It's not like you don't know her. You said that you're marrying Sally only because she treats you well. It is what you want. Don't be too sad about this. The company still has to depend on you."
Although Cullen felt that it was not worth it to be sad for a woman like Sally, as Leo's good friend, he could sympathize.
Moreover, it was easy for emotions to get carried away in the middle of the night. Cullen had been worried when he saw Leo's calm appearance yesterday.
As expected, something did happen after that night. However, Cullen did not expect Sally to deal Leo such a huge blow. What the hell?
As Cullen was feeling amazed, Leo suddenly spoke, "Who told you I was upset about Sally?" Leo answered Cullen's question as though he had only just heard him.
Cullen was stunned. "Isn't that so? What else could have dealt you such a blow?"
It was normal for Leo to be upset to have a video of his bride having sex with another man broadcasted at the wedding venue.
Cullen was about to advise Leo to stop being stubborn when he heard the latter speak again. What Leo said shocked Cullen.
Leo picked up the phone that had been smashed into pieces. His lips were curled into a self-deprecating smile, and his voice was cold. "It's true. I should have seen clearly what kind of woman Sally was, but I still fulfilled her requests time and time again as if I were blind. How ridiculous..."
Leo should have realized the truth the moment he saw the wounds on Madison's body.
No, it should have been earlier. He should have known when Sally copied the surveillance video from the office and posted it online to slander Madison and make Madison out to be a woman who would do anything to achieve her goals.
The trust Leo gave Sally was used by her for her schemes.
Leo allowed Sally to enter Palmer Group's building and his office, but in the end, the phone number saved on his phone was changed, and the surveillance footage was used as evidence in a war among fans.
'Why did I think that I liked Sally? Is it just because of that cake?' Leo wondered.
If Sally's approach from the beginning was a scheme, then was there a possibility that the cake was placed there by someone else and was claimed by Sally?
There was also the so-called companionship. Thinking about it carefully, Madison had spent more time with him. They grew up together. Other than when Leo was learning or training, Madison was almost always there.
Madison was the person who had been by Leo's side the longest. Even after Sally returned, Madison often appeared in various ways.
Madison came to the Palmer family to accompany his grandfather, cook for him, and take care of the flowers and plants for him... She was everywhere.
However, compared to the flamboyant and bright girl back then, the older Madison was taciturn and always liked to lower her head, making it easy for her to be overlooked.
Just because her presence was low, did her companionship not count?
