My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise novel Chapter 32

Leo's wedding caused quite a stir in the industry. Years ago, Edgar forced him to marry Madison, and she was sent abroad on the night of their wedding. Everyone laughed at her for marrying into a wealthy family but did not have the clout to hold the title of "Mrs. Palmer."

On the other hand, another young lady from the Hale family claimed to be Leo's wife, waiting for the day for Leo and Madison to divorce so she could claim the title rightfully. Everyone thought everything had been settled, especially after the Hale family announced Sally's upcoming wedding to Leo just half a month ago, but Leo had not officially divorced Madison. It was turning into quite a joke!

"What did you say..." Sally seemed to be taken aback by Madison's words. She didn't even get to finish speaking before she was pushed aside.

A well-dressed man walked straight toward Madison with a stern look and said in an angry tone, "Madison, did you not take what I said seriously at all?"

'How dare you attend this event with Joe Daves?' Leo wondered. 'Looks like you haven't listened to a word I said!'

Madison looked puzzled. "Sorry, Mr. Palmer, I don't quite understand what you meant. Plus, I don't quite remember what you said to me. Besides, you will be my ex-husband soon, so why should I take your words seriously?"

"You..." Leo's face grew darker. Before he could finish speaking, Madison cut in. "Mr. Palmer, instead of saying these meaningless things to me, why don't you check on your fiancée? It's not easy to calm down an angry girl."

Following Madison's gaze, Leo finally noticed Sally, who had been pushed aside behind him. "What are you doing here?" he frowned.

Sally realized something. Leo hadn't even seen her! All his attention was on Madison.

"Leo..." Sally looked pitifully at Leo. "The company invited me to attend Fanny's fashion gala, and I ran into Madison. I wanted to say hello, but I didn't expect her to be with the general manager of XY Entertainment..."

Although Sally didn't finish her sentence, it was clear what she was implying at. No man wanted to be cheated on, even if he didn't like his wife or they had separated or divorced. He would be possessive, especially when the divorce proceedings hadn't been completed.

As Sally expected, Leo's face turned colder. Although she felt a little uncomfortable that the divorce proceedings weren't finished, seeing Madison in a bad situation made her happy. Besides, everyone knew Leo and Madison had signed the divorce agreement, so what was there to worry about?

Madison couldn't be bothered with Sally anymore. She let Sally say whatever she wanted and walked hand in hand with Joe onto the red carpet and into the venue. Leo caught a glimpse of Madison's departing figure, and without hesitation, he followed her.

"Leo, wait for me!" Sally hurriedly chased after them, holding up her dress.

Leo looked at Madison, who was a few steps ahead, thought for a moment, and stopped. There were a lot of people entering the venue then, and security needed to check their invitations, so it didn't matter if he took his time.

Sally smiled and grabbed Leo's arm. "Leo, why did you come to this kind of gala today? You never used to come before. If I had known you were coming, I would have waited for you."

"You audacious girl, you're getting bolder. How dare you not greet me just now? I'll tell your parents when I go back to Rozalia." Fanny tapped Madison's head.

"No, please! I'm sorry, Fanny!" Madison coaxed her.

Fanny burst into laughter, her heart softening. "Alright, alright, I'm not finished here. You and Joe can go outside and grab something to eat. Oh, Samuel is here tonight. Go find him so he won't be bored alone."

"Samuel? What makes that nerd willing to come out?" Joe was surprised.

"Well, thanks to Jessica. Samuel didn't listen to a word I said. But when I said Jessica is here tonight, he flew over immediately," Fanny joked and said to Madison, "Talk to him later and see if there are any girls he's interested in. It's not easy for him to come out."

"Okay, I got it, Fanny." Madison felt a bit embarrassed by the teasing.

Madison and Joe didn't stay backstage for long. After saying goodbye to Fanny, they left. But as soon as they went out, some people approached Joe with drinks, and he couldn't refuse in a business setting like this. Madison didn't like it, so she said a few words to Joe and left. But she hadn't gone far when she heard her name from the side, the content of which she heard made her stop in her tracks.
