Madison paused.

Actually, she was a little reluctant. It was not about Leo. The Creek Court was a house Edgar had bought for her, and she personally chose it. Even though she hadn’t had the chance to live there in the past three years, it was different from other vacant houses.

As she was silent, a piece of news popped up on her phone.

[Palmer Group CEO Leo and Hale Family heiress Sally’s Wedding Approaching]

The accompanying image showed Sally in an evening gown, arm in arm with Leo, who was dressed in a black suit. The couple, both talented and attractive, looked perfectly matched.

Madison did not open it. Instead, she swiped away the notification. Her tone suddenly turned cold.

“Sell them all.”

She did not stay in the private room any longer and got up from her chair.

“There are still some things to do in the kitchen. I’ll have to trouble you with these trivial matters. I won’t bother you here anymore.”

Joe could tell her discomfort.

He glanced at his phone lying on the side and immediately understood what had happened. He inwardly scolded her for being so immature.

His words were even harsher, “You’re giving up a meal for such a worthless guy? Weren’t you just showing strength a moment ago, figuring out how to spend the money he gave you? Now you can’t handle seeing the news about his wedding?

As he spoke, he deliberately opened the news and zoomed the image before tossing it towards Madison.

“Shouldn’t you respect and give your blessings when they’re together? Jessica, you’ve only been back in the country for a while, and you’re already bewitched by that face? Alright, I won’t talk about you either. Come back to XR Entertainment with me this afternoon. There are a bunch of men in my company. There are all kinds of men who are older, younger, and have good figures. Don’t f ucking hang yourself on such a man!”

Madison was shocked by Joe’s increasingly outrageous remarks.

Her eyes widened and said, “Joe, what nonsense are you talking about?”

Joe snorted coldly and did not reply. He just squinted at her.

Madison looked at the food on the table and suddenly felt guilty.

She was the one who asked Joe to help her. Now, just because she felt uncomfortable seeing this picture, she was leaving him alone. It was really not right.

“I’m sorry, Joe.”

She sat down opposite Joe and apologized obediently.

Joe snorted lightly and raised his hand to scoop a bowl of soup for her. “It’s only because I have a good temper, if it were your eldest brother sitting here today, would you be able to smooth things over with just an apology?”

Madison lowered her head and whispered another apology, but her expression remained cold.

Joe did not say anything this time.

The man who she loved for a few years had just divorced her and immediately publicized the news of his marriage on the Internet. Even though she was already me ntally prepared, anyone who saw it would feel disgusted.

It was only because his little sister had been raised well that she did not scold anyone. If it were him, he would have already started cursing and pointing fingers at the couple.

He couldn’t say anything to comfort her. Usually, he would argue with Madison. Now, he could only brace himself and pick up food for his sister. It was extremely awkward.

“Joe…”

Madison looked at the food that had suddenly piled up in her bowl and could not help. but stop him.

“I’m not upset about the news, so you don’t have to do this.”

It was true that her emotions were not right when she saw the image, but on second. thought, wasn’t the story supposed to develop like this?

She had long known that Leo didn’t like her. His heart was filled with Sally.

It was just that at that time, she was young and always unwilling to accept it.

Clearly, she grew up with him, and he used to call her his little wife when they were young. Why did he change completely just because Sally came back?

Fortunately, she was not a stubborn person. The moment she gave up, she understood,

that love did not come first.

She could not control her love for Leo. How could he control his joy for Sally?

She understood the logic, but when the truth was placed in front of her and she accepted that he was about to marry Sally, she was still a little puzzled.

He had clearly seen Sally’s character, why did he still want to marry her?

Was he really that infatuated with her?

However, these thoughts quickly disappeared. She was woken up by Joe’s scolding.

Madison smiled and picked up a piece of meat for Joe.

“Joe, I did want to go out just now to avoid this news, but you scolded me in time. It understand what I should do. As for me lowering my head, I feel that I’ve let you down for treating me well, not because of Leo.”

She did not deliberately avoid Leo’s name and said it directly.

When she looked up again, there was only guilt and gratitude in her eyes.

“Joe, thank you,” she said.

Her eyes reddened.

“Alright, alright. Just eat well. Look at how thin you’ve become. If you were outside, people might think we’re not raising a monkey.”

Joe looked away. He lowered his head and mumbled with a mouthful of food that Madison had just picked for him.

Madison nodded. When she saw Joe’s awkwardness, she felt a mixture of warmth and sadness. She hummed softly and picked up her spoon to eat.

After taking two bites, Joe suddenly shouted, “I almost forgot about the important

matter!”

Madison looked up. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing. Since you’re selling Green Water Bay’s house, why don’t you just sell it to me?” Joe said.

Madison did not ask what he wanted to use it for. She said directly, “If you want it, I’ll transfer it to you directly. It might be a bit troublesome with the paperwork, but if you don’t mind, it’s fine.”

Joe waved his hand. “That won’t do. Even between close siblings, we should be clear about transactions. How could I take it from you like that?”

If the older brothers found out about this, they would definitely give him a hard time.

Madison did not mind. “It doesn’t matter. It’s troublesome to sell it anyway. I might as well just give it to you.”

Moreover, it wasn’t her money. She didn’t care about Leo’s money.

Joe, being considerate, naturally refused to accept it.

He clicked his tongue and teasingly said, “Oh dear, my sister comes to Sidovor City, and I didn’t even let her stay directly in Green Water Bay. Now, I have to shamelessly take my sister’s house empty-handed. Truly…”

“Joel”

Madison could not stand his teasing, her face turned red as she glared at him.

Joe smiled. “I’ll give it to you at the market price. If you’re too embarrassed to take my moncy, how about this? Use the money to invest in two movies for me. If they make a profit, you get a dividend, if not, consider it as supporting me. How does that sound?”

Madison smiled and nodded. “Alright!”

Amidst the laughter, the news on the Internet slowly fermented over time.

Not only were Leo and Sally’s good news trending, but the news of Leo and Madison’s divorce also followed closely. It was even reaching the trending topics list just before the end of the workday.

When Sally saw these two highly trending topics, a smile finally appeared on her face.

She was finally going to be Mrs. Palmer.

She raised her hand to touch her forehead. The wound was still slightly painful, and at trace of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes.

When she truly became Mrs. Palmer, she would make everyone who had looked down on her and mocked her apologize.

She had to make those people pay the price, especially Madison,

Sally thought viciously. She randomly clicked on the trending topic about herself and Leo, eager to see the well-wishes from netizens.

As soon as she clicked on it, her expression became even uglier and even more
