Chapter 64

“Should I believe that?” Leo’s voice was extremely cold.

He thought that he could meet Sylvia and clarify the matter. Even if Palmer Group could not renew the contract with Sylvia in the future, Leo still wanted to know why.

If he accidentally offended her at work, or some clauses dissatisfied her, he could sincerely apologize or express his gratitude from back then.

However, he never thought that the person who came was Madison.

He was extremely disappointed.

Madison did not expect Leo to not believe it.

But his mind could also be understood.

Sylvia had signed a contract with the Daves family, and the contract terms were specially customized for her. It was obvious that she had a good relationship with the Daves family. As for Madison, she was with Joe all day long. Coincidentally, Joe’s XR and Sylvia had also signed a contract, so she had a reason to know Sylvia.

With that, it made sense for her to use Sylvia’s identity to fool Leo.

But even if it made sense, she still found it funny.

She smiled slightly and looked straight at Leo. “Why are you so sure that I’m a replacement? Why don’t you think that I’m the real Sylvia? Leo, do you not dare, or do you have other reasonable speculations?”

“Do you not dare.”

The man’s eyes flickered when he heard that words.

Perhaps there was subconsciously, but at the moment, he still firmly believed in his speculation. “If you’re the real Sylvia, why didn’t you directly show up when M&L Studio and Palmer Group collaborated? Madison, are you afraid of being known?”

Before he finished his sentence, the smile on Madison’s face faded a little.

Why didn’t she directly show up?

Her smile was not completely gone, but there was a hint of gloominess in her eyes.

He was right. She was really afraid of being known.

At that time, other than Edgar, no one was concerned about her. Everyone else seemed

1/5

to see something disgusting when they saw her, and Leo was even more so.

Her adoptive parents did not like her and were only focused on their biological daughter.

When Sally saw Madison, Sally would immediately pretend to be crazy. So Madison did not even dare to go back to the Hale family. Even in the later stages, she lived with the Hale family’s ser vants.

The person she had always liked treated her as troublesome and became impatient when he saw her. Even her approach was a mistake.

During that period, Madison had wanted to end her own life. If Edgar passed away, Madison would have nothing to care about and died long ago.

Living like a rat, hated by everyone, it was better to disappear completely.

But in the end, there was still someone she liked.

So what if he didn’t like her? Was it wrong for her to like him herself?

He hated her being close to him, so she could help him secretly, just like how she had secretly stuffed him with cupcakes when he was punished for doing something wrong back then.

That was why she hid her feelings and weaved their names together, hoping that the person she liked would get through the difficulties safely.

Unfortunately, some people are destined to be despised and should never exist.

Fortunately, she came to her senses in time.

Madison lowered her eyes. Her smile was very faint. Although her tone was still unruly, it was stained with some fatigue.

“You’re right. I just wanted to fool you. I don’t like you anymore. Thinking about how you and Sally have embarrassed me all these years, I feel extremely uncomfortable. That’s why I used Sylvia’s account to trick you out on purpose to see your expression. I didn’t expect you to expose me.”

Her eyes were curved as if they were full of smiles, but they were tears.

“Since the game is over, I won’t stay any longer.” She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would not be able to control her tears,

She had let it go a long time ago. Why was she still so sad?

It shouldn’t be, Madison told herself. She couldn’t cry, at least not in front of Leo.

Behind her, Leo did not stop her.

He stood rooted to the ground, the smile of Madison repeating in his mind.

She had clearly admitted that she was not Sylvia, and it was exactly as he had speculated, but he felt that something was wrong.

It was as if he had missed something and he failed to grasp it.

However, no matter what, he had finally figured out why Sylvia was unwilling to cooperate with the Palmer Group. It was none other than because of the girl in front of him.

However, it did not matter. Now that the jewelry department project was developing well, it did not matter if Sylvia quit. Having her was just icing on the cake.

Leo stood on the spot and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he caught up with Madison who was about to leave, and said, “It’s getting late. Stay for dinner.”

Madison tried to save face in front of others. At that time, she wanted to cry very much, but she endured it forcefully. After putting on her sunglasses in high heels, she returned to her arrogant appearance.

Hearing the voice beside her ear, she stopped in her tracks and pushed up her

sunglasses. She looked at him through her glasses and asked, “Leo, are you out of your mind?”

Leo frowned. “Madison, can’t you speak properly?”

Even if she had not attended any etiquette classes since Sally’s return, they had grown up together after all. How did she become so vulgar now?

Madison put on her sunglasses and snorted softly. “With such a temper, if Mr. Palmer is unwilling to listen, then plug your ears. As for your meal, forget it. It’s not like you’re treating me to a meal. It would be too shameful for me to stay. Anyway, I’ve already achieved my goal, right?”

Regardless of whether Leo believed it or not, she made Leo’s mood fluctuate.

Thinking about it this way, it was not a loss.

One had to learn to reconcile with oneself and all things that did not go well.

Leo understood the meaning behind her words. His expression darkened as he reached out to pull her back. “So you came over just to play a trick on me?”

Madison frowned and pulled her wrist out. She tapped his chest in disdain. “Mr. Palmer, if you want to talk, just talk. Don’t touch me. Do you like me treating you like

3/5

this? Huh?”

Leo pursed his l*ps and stared at her silently.

Madison did not move much. After retracting her hand, she glanced at the restaurant behind her.

“I’ve troubled you to spend so much effort, but it’s a pity that I’ve made you sad. Moreover, with our relationship, it doesn’t seem appropriate for us to sit together and cat. Maybe one day when you are free, I think it’s more appropriate for us to go through the divorce procedures.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the man sneered. “Madison, don’t even think about it!”

She had tricked him time and time again, but she wanted to divorce him so easily. Why?

Madison knew what he was thinking and smiled. “Up to you. After all, I’ve liked you before. I’m quite happy to be Mrs. Palmer for some more days.”

She said this on purpose. After all, she knew very well how much he hated her in the

past.

After saying this, she turned around, so she did not notice the confusion and loneliness that flashed across the man’s eyes.

She said that she had liked him before.

In other words, she didn’t like him anymore.

But that should be the case, shouldn’t it?

‘I didn’t like her from the beginning, and she shouldn’t like me, he frowned and. thought to himself.

When he looked up and saw that Madison had already walked out, he followed her.

“Mr. Palmer, are you planning to register your marriage with me?”

The two of them entered the elevator together. When the elevator door closed, Madison tilted her head and teased.

The tall man stood beside her and looked straight ahead. “Why don’t you beg me? Perhaps I’ll divorce you if I’m in a good mood.”

Madison smiled without hesitation. “Alright, I’ll beg you then.”
