My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise novel Chapter 39

Madison intentionally played the role of a victim on the side. "Mr. Palmer, could it be that you are unwilling to divorce me and don't want to marry Sally?"

Leo couldn't hold it in any longer. "Madison, that's enough!" The two women started arguing, and he was getting a headache.

Madison continued to act weak. "It seems that in your eyes, I, an ex-wife, am not as good as Sally. It's a pity you almost broke my hand, Mr. Palmer." She held her red wrist, looking pitiful and innocent.

Leo was stunned. He didn't realize how much force he had used. The first time she cried out in pain outside the ladies' room, he ignored her, and she hadn't made a sound earlier.

Madison noticed his gaze and smirked mockingly. "Mr. Palmer, are you feeling sorry for me now? You didn't show any concern for me earlier."

"Madison, shut up, will you?" Sally couldn't stand it anymore. She couldn't bear to see Leo's emotions wavering because of Madison. 'It's just a red mark on the wrist,' Sally thought. 'What's the big deal?'

Madison wasn't done yet. She suddenly felt that seeing Sally so angry was more interesting than pretending to be pitiful. She shook her head with an innocent look. "I'm not done yet. It still hurts."

"You!" Sally was furious.

Suddenly, a light laugh came from behind, and at the same time, Madison's expression returned to normal, and she ran in that direction.

"Joe, you're finally here!"

"Is it fun?" Joe patted her head.

"Not bad." Madison raised her eyebrows. "Can I borrow your suit?" She took off the suit covering her and threw it into the trash can in the corner without even looking at the man behind her. Leo turned his head and saw that she threw away his clothes and even let another man touch her. Not only that, she was putting on that man's clothes!

However, all of this had nothing to do with Madison. She had no intention of guessing what Leo was thinking. After changing into Joe's clothes, she took his wrist and smiled sincerely, her eyes shining like stars. "Let's go. They must be getting impatient."

Joe was concerned about her wrist. "Does it hurt?"

Madison's body seemed weaker than other girls, so it was very likely she got hurt.

Madison deliberately acted coquettish. "It hurts. My shoulder hit the wall earlier, and it hurts even more."

Leo, who had witnessed everything, was furious. He stepped forward and once again blocked her path. "Madison, are you sure you want to go with him?"

Joe stood forward to confront him. "Mr. Palmer, Madison came with me, so it's only natural for her to leave with me. Mr. Palmer, you should be concerned about Miss Hale instead."

Sally, who had been ignored, looked pitiful and weakly raised her head upon hearing this.

Samuel also stared at her hand intently. "Does it not hurt? It looks quite serious." Only Joe seemed a bit less worried as he explained. "Other than that kid from the Palmer family, who else would dare lay a finger on her? But don't worry. He didn't gain any advantage from her either."

Thinking about the way Leo and Sally looked when he found Madison, Joe felt like laughing. Madison was something. No matter how others bullied her, she would give it right back. She played the pitiful act so well!

Madison nodded along and said, "That's right. They didn't gain anything from me. I even slapped Leo, although my hand still feels numb." She had used all her strength in that slap, and her palm turned red from the force of it! She briefly explained what happened after she left. Of course, she downplayed how Leo blocked her in the ladies' room and shifted the focus to the slap, which was only resolved when Joe intervened.

After hearing this, Fanny snorted. "You let him off easily! I say he deserves a few more slaps!"

Madison jokingly lightened the atmosphere. "That won't do. My hand hurts from one slap. If I did a few more, I'd probably need to bandage my hand."

"You little troublemaker." Fanny finally chuckled, her mood getting better. "By the way, didn't Samuel say he had a gift for you? You guys go ahead. I still have some things to attend to. I'll see you another day."

The fashion show had ended, but the gala hadn't. As the organizer, Fanny couldn't leave with them.

"Fanny, we'll head out first. See you tomorrow," Madison said. Her lower abdomen was still aching faintly. If she were feeling better, she would have stayed a bit longer.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, she left with Samuel. Joe stayed behind because he had some matters to attend to. Little did she expect that as she left the venue with Samuel, they would run into Leo again, as if he had been waiting for her.
