Chapter 831 Protective Instincts

Edward's expression turned cold. After a moment of restraint, he pushed Madison away, turned around, and said, "What did you hear?"

Madison noticed his indifferent look and thought he probably didn't want her to hear those rumors. She quickly shook her head, "Nothing. I brought you lunch. Come and try it."

She linked her arm with Edward's and led him to the lounge area in the corner of the office.

Edward sat down on the sofa, watching her bustle around. For a moment, he was dazed. If the person he liked was Madison, would he have fewer troubles?

Madison handed him a fork, looking at him expectantly, "Edward, I made this myself. Try my cooking."

Edward snapped back to reality. Seeing Madison's face, all his fleeting thoughts vanished. He took the fork and began to eat.

It was clear that the lunch was meticulously prepared by Madison, but to him, it was tasteless.

After just a few bites, he put down the fork.

Madison looked at him in surprise, "Edward, is it not good?"

"It's good," Edward shook his head, "I just don't have much of an appetite. Thinking about the company's issues gives me a headache."

Madison quickly comforted him, "Edward, don't worry. I think the financial crime unit is just making a fuss. Let me tell you, they took Phoebe away yesterday."

Edward hadn't heard about this. He sat up straight, "What did you say?"

Madison originally wanted to comfort him, but seeing his strong reaction to Phoebe's situation made her feel bad. However, since she brought up Phoebe, she couldn't be jealous now.

"Yesterday afternoon, the financial crime unit took Phoebe away. But they didn't have any concrete evidence, so they released her in the evening," Madison said.

Edward's face looked extremely grim.

After being rejected in his proposal, his pride was hurt, and he intended to give Phoebe the cold shoulder, not paying attention to her affairs. He didn't expect her to get into trouble.
