My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise

Chapter 30

Above the probing question was a photo Joe posted.

It was the scene at Rose Garden where he asked Madison to help apply ointment on him but nobody

replied.

After this question was posted, echoes of agreement came one after another.

Antoine texted, [Joe, let’s put the bar incident aside for now. She’s an adult, and there’s nothing wrong

with her having fun. However, it is your fault for allowing the media to report about her without restraint.

Online opinions are complex. Not to mention that the Hale family has a specialized team to do such

things. Putting Jessica in the most contentious point of a situation is bad.]

Ethan texted, [Alright, brothers. Our younger brother has handled the online news well. Joe, do some

proper self-reflection. When I reach Sidovor City, I hope you’ll relinquish your position as soon as

possible!]

Wesley texted, [The man dancing with her is Leo’s friend, who has been looking into her information

lately. Although he hasn’t found anything, I suspect he knows her curriculum vitae is false. Joe, please

pay attention during this time.]

Jason texted, [I can control aunt’s condition here. If she is willing, she can temporarily come back to

Rozalia.]

Joe did not dare to reply anything. He did not even dare to look at his phone.

When he took Madison to the bar, he did consider that such a day might come. It was just that he did

not expect it to arrive so soon.

But now, besides backing down, there was no other way out.

He unlocked his phone. As he saw the message sent by Samuel, his black eyes turned slightly serious.

When Madison was informed about the news, she was calm.

Without lifting her head, she continued working on the drawings on the blueprint. “I know,” she said.

“He won’t be able to find out anything.”

She thought, ‘He may find some clues, but he won’t get any concrete information unless I make it

public. Cullen’s skills don’t match up to Wesley’s. However…

Madison suddenly put down her pencil and raised her eyes to look at Joe. “Joe, my divorce certificate

hasn’t been delivered yet, huh?” she asked.

As Madison brought this up, Joe got angry. “Nope,” he said.”It hasn’t been delivered.”

He thought, “This scu mbag drove Jessica away during their marriage, and he’s dragging his feet

during divorce. The Daves family is waiting for the birth certificate to be sorted out. We’ll then bring

Jessica back so she has nothing to do with this place anymore. Da mn scu m!”

Madison frowned as well upon hearing those words.

She thought, ‘Logically speaking, Leo shouldn’t be dragging this out for so long. He is impatient with

this marriage in the first place. What’s more, Sally is still waiting to be with him. Even though the Rose

Garden incident impacted Sally, Leo stepped forward and suppressed all negative news. He even used

Sally’s post, which was filled with a great sense of angelic bitc hiness, to whitewash her image. This

shows that Leo doesn’t care about what kind of a person Sally is. He should be eager to get divorced

and quickly marry his beloved. What’s with the hold-up then?”

“Do you want me to call him to ask?” Joe said as he approached Madison.

“It’s okay,” Madison said.

Madison picked up the pencil again and continued sketching on the blank paper.

“He’ll find a way to come looking for me,” she said.

Half a month later, Morris hurriedly entered the CEO’s office at Palmer Group with a document. “Mr.

Palmer, I’ve found information about Sylvia, the designer.”

After the contract between M&L Studio and Palmer Group expired, there was no further information

except that they would be collaborating with XR Entertainment. Not only was Palmer Group unable to

contact the designer, but those companies that intended to poach Sylvia upon hearing the news could

not locate her either.

Even XR Entertainment, which had some clues about Sylvia’s whereabouts, did not have any rumors

leaked. This caused many people to mock XR Entertainment.

Leo lifted his head from a pile of documents halfway through his work, which was unusual for him.

“Shoot,” he said.

Morris placed the document onto the desk and said. “This is the invitation for Fa nny’s fashion gala this

year. It’s usually held abroad, but upon hearing that Sylvia is in Sidovor City this time, she changed the

location specifically.”

The implication was that Sylvia would appear at this fashion gala.

The gala was the opportune moment for any company which wants to collaborate with M&L Studio.

The key lay in whether it could seize the opportunity and secure the collaboration through negotiation.

“M&L Studio has sent word out that a new round of collaboration will be confirmed at– this gala, Morris

added, confirming this point. “It will be decided later if M&L Studio will continue its collaboration with

long-standing partners or embark on a new

venture.”

“Mm-hmm,” Leo replied. “Confirm the time for the gala and get two more invitation cards.”

“Got it,” Morris responded. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Leo suddenly called out to

him.

“Any news about Madison lately?” Leo asked.

Morris was taken aback.

He thought, ‘I haven’t heard this question for a long time since Miss Hale returned to the country. I used

to hear it often when Miss Hale was abroad, as Mr. Palmer would ask from time to time. But every time

I checked, it was the same news about Miss Hale studying and doing part-time jobs. Apart from the

different part-time work, her life was pretty monotonous. Now that she’s back in the country, why is Mr.

Palmer still asking?”

He shook his head and said. “Miss Hale seems to have been at Rose Garden recently. She’s learning

culinary skills from Mr. Holland. Apart from that, there isn’t much news except that Mr. Daves from XR

Entertainment sends flowers over sometimes…”

Before Morris finished speaking, he distinctly felt a change in the atmosphere in the

room.

other news.

He did not dare to say more. “That’s about it.” he said. “There’s no o

“Got it,” Leo said. “You may go out now.”

Leo expressionlessly tore up the paper he accidentally pierced through with the pen tip.

Morris did not dare to breathe heavily and hurriedly exited the office.

In the blink of an eye, it was the gala night.

The address for the gala was not changed on intention. Sidovor City was chosen as the location after

considering various factors.

It was just that as word got around, the change of venue became intentional.

When Joe saw these stories fabricated by certain user accounts on social media

platforms, his emotions were complex, and he felt like laughing.

“I never expected Sylvia to have such honor, causing Fa nny to change the address just for her,” Joe

said. “Admirable! Admirable!”

“Joe, that’s enough!” Madison said.

She felt like rolling her eyes at him.

“Ever since this topic came up, he’s been going on about it every single day, she thought. ‘It’s so

annoying.”

Joe teased intentionally. “But now the spotlight’s on you. Take care of me when the time

comes.”

The contract was set in stone, and there was no doubt about signing it with one’s family member.

As for the reason for delaying the finalization of it, first of all, the timing was not right. Doing it at a major

event like tonight’s gala could boost XR Entertainment’s and M&L Studio’s visibility. Secondly, it was

because of Leo. She had been annoyed by his actions, and hence, she thought it was better to hold off

to irritate him in return.

If it weren’t for the contractual obligations and her unwillingness to ruin her career, she d her

unwillingness to ruin her career, she would have stopped cooperating with Palmer Group long ago.

When it was time to separate personal and professional matters, she would do so, and when it was

necessary to act in a mean-spirited way, she would not show magnanimity either.

The car stopped at the hotel’s entrance, bypas sing the round fountain before coming to

a halt.

Listening to Joe’s’ muttering along the way, Madison could not help but retort. “It’s Aunt who changed to

Sidovor City just to help with your career development,” she said. “Yet here you are, teasing me all the

way.” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

She stepped out of the car in high heels and gracefully linked arms with Joe.

As soon as the handsome man and the beautiful woman got out of the car, they received quite a lot of

attention.

As they walked toward the venue, a voice from behind stopped them.

“Madison, you’re here for today’s fashion gala too? Weren’t you helping out in the kitchen at Rose

Garden?”
