However, Madison was not that surprised.

When her relationship with Antoine was announced, she had already expected the Hale family people to look for her. However, she did not expect so many days to pass.

But she was not in a hurry to answer it.

After the phone rang for a while, she slowly picked it up. After picking up the call, she didn’t say anything and just listened silently.

On the other end was Ramona’s fawning voice. “Madison, it’s Mom. What have you been busy with recently?”

Madison was eating at this moment. Joe had specially bought a small cake for her on the way back to coax her.

She scooped a spoonful and put it into her mouth. Her tone was still polite. After all, one did not hit a smiling person.

“Ramona, if I remember correctly, you asked me to change the way I address you ten years ago. There’s no need for me to call you Mom. As for recently, of course, I’m busy with the divorce with Leo. If you are free, please persuade him. It’s not good for his health to always work. You can ask him to take some time to rest and settle the procedures with me. It won’t take much time.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line.

Madison was not in a hurry. She could guess that Ramona was gritting her teeth in

anger.

However, it was not her fault. It was clearly Leo who was delaying it and not divorcing her. It was good that she could get Sally to persuade Leo with a complaint.

“Madison, I’ll take the time to settle the divorce. You don’t have to be in such a hurry.”

Just as she took another bite of the cake, a man’s voice suddenly came from the phone. It was low and familiar.

The sudden voice frightened Madison. She almost choked on the cake she had just

eaten!

She did not expect Leo to be at Ramona’s house.

What was even more unexpected was that he was still listening to her and Ramona’s call.

However, Madison quickly calmed down and said in a cold voice, “Mr. Palmer, since you are listening from the side, please remember this matter well. After all, a divorce is not a small matter. Don’t always forget it. It will prevent me from delaying your marriage with your precious Sally.”

After she finished speaking, she put down the spoon in her hand.

Although she hadn’t finished the cake in front of her, she felt that it suddenly didn’t taste good. The sweetness couldn’t make her secrete new dopamine.

‘Men are troublemakers!’ Madison thought.

Leo stopped talking. It was Ramona’s voice. “Madison, let’s not talk about the divorce now. You’ve already signed the agreement. There’s no hurry. I called you today to ask if you’re free. If you’re free, come back for a meal. Your father will be back in two days so that we can reunite.”

In Madison’s impression, her father, Richard Hale, was an extremely profit-oriented. person. He had been running around to deal with the Hale family’s business all year round. Over the years, he had developed well with Palmer Group’s help, but he still did. not go home often. He tried to expand the Hale family’s business outside of Sidovor City.

To Madison, Richard’s feelings for her were mediocre back then. Later on, when Sally returned, he did not take Madison seriously.

Only when they went to Edgar’s home together occasionally would he act like a kind father.

In short, he was an extremely hypocritical person.

“Ramona, if I remember correctly, I signed a severance agreement with the Hale family when I returned to the country. Don’t you think it’s not appropriate to bring me along?”

She did not stand on ceremony with Ramona and went straight to the point.

It had to be said that the severance agreement was exactly what she wanted.

The Hale family people were worried that she would use her identity as an adopted daughter to cause trouble. They were afraid that she would get a share of the family. assets. But she was also afraid that the Hale family people would freeload on her true loved ones..

Now it seemed to begin.

It was only because they knew Antoine’s relationship with Madison. If the Daves family really announced Madison’s identity, the Hale family people would probably want to

become relatives with Madison with all they might.

Ramona did not seem to understand Madison’s words. She said, “Madison, I was too angry at that time and did things wrong. Why are you still angry at me? You’re the child I raised. I raised you on my own. How can I really chase you out of the family? Listen to Mom and come home for dinner Tuesday night, okay?”

Madison knocked on the table and did not reject her directly. The main reason was that she had yet to figure out what Ramona meant.

If it was for Antoine, Ramona did not specifically ask her to bring him along.

She did not want to go, but if she did not go, the other party would use the kindness of raising her to discredit Antoine. It would not be good for Antoine’s career.

Even though the Hale family people had gone overboard, they indeed had raised her. She could not produce any evidence of them wanting to kill her behind her back.

This passive situation made her a little frustrated.

As Madison was thinking, Ramona spoke again, “Madison, I can understand why you’re still angry with me. Now that you’ve found your family, you’ll definitely live a better life in the future. I’m also happy for you. Take this family banquet as a farewell for you. Let’s formally say goodbye to each other, okay?”

Madison felt even more disgusted when she heard this.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before she forced herself not to hang up.

Just as she was about to respond, the phone was suddenly taken away by the person behind her. A clear voice came from above her head..

“Alright, Ramona. Madison is free on Tuesday night. I’m Madison’s older brother. I want to take some time to visit you recently. I wonder if I can come over with Madison on Tuesday.

Antoine’s voice was as perfect as his face.

On the other end, Ramona was naturally overjoyed. “Oh, It’s an honor to have you here. Sally admires you very much. We often watch your movies at home and learn from them!”

“Antoine…”

Madison was a little worried. Before she could say anything, Antoine interrupted her with a gesture.

He made a shushing gesture and continued, “Then Ramona, that’s a deal. See you

Tuesday night.”

“Okay, okay. See you Tuesday night!”

The call ended.

Antoine returned the phone to Madison. She looked unhappy. “Antoine, why did you agree to that woman? She’s up to no good! She might even use this relationship to clear Sally’s name in the industry in the future!”

As she spoke, she picked up the spoon angrily and dug into the cake in front of her as if it had a grudge against her.

Antoine looked at her with amusement. His cold eyes softened a little. “If I don’t agree, won’t you agree?”

“I…” Madison was speechless.

She would indeed agree because if this matter was not resolved, it would still be a time bomb.

She might as well let it go and solve the problem completely.

However, she did not want Antoine to get involved, nor did she want Antoine to be angry because of the Hale family people.

Antoine could tell what she was thinking. He patted her head gently.

“Jessica, you’ve already suffered a lot outside. Now that you’re back, your brothers. naturally can’t let you bear everything alone. The Hale family people want to see you because of me, so I’ll accompany you this time. It doesn’t matter.”

‘Madison had already suffered in the Hale

last time. How could I let her go

through it alone this time?’ Antoine thought to himself.

Madison felt touched but sad. “But I don’t want to. I don’t want you to endure such

trouble.”

Because the trouble was brought by her.

Antoine chuckled. “Jessica, how can your matter be troublesome? Don’t think too much. You’ve never been our trouble. You’re our mascot.”
