Chapter 25
Without a second thought, Leo immediately strode toward the center of the dance. floor.
On the other side, Joe stood up from the booth he was in upon seeing what happened. His face turned pale as he moved forward.
But the next second, both of them halted simultaneously.
A loud bang could be heard. On the stage, as Cullen brushed against the hem of Madison’s attire at her hip, he was suddenly thrown over her shoulder and crashed to the floor heavily.
Everyone was startled by this scene, and the place fell silent. Only the sound of the saxophone music lingered in the air, complementing the scene in a very comedic way. Madison did not lower her head to look at the person on the floor. Instead, she glanced at Leo from a distance on the stage.
She withdrew her gaze, glanced at the person by her feet with an air of superiority, and tilted her head slightly.
‘Sorry, Mr. Wilkinson,” Madison said. “I’m not particularly good at loving someone and loving what that person loved by extension, but I excel at redirecting anger. Your good buddy’s here. I’ll leave now. Ask him to sort out the divorce proceedings as soon as possible when he is free.”
Leaving these words behind, she lifted her foot, stepped over Cullen, squeezed into the crowd in her high heels, and disappeared.
Cullen held onto his waist as he got up from the ground. His immediate reaction was to look for Madison.
Unfortunately, he could not see her with so many people around. He had taken just a few steps when his line of sight was blocked.
“Please step aside,” Cullen said.
Cullen pushed the person beside him without glancing to see who that person was.
“Cullen Wilkinson!”
Leo could not take it anymore and spat out his full name. “I asked you to look after her,” he said. “Is this how you do it?”
Leo thought, ‘His hand almost touched her…

Leo was filled with anger thinking about the scene earlier.

Leo thought, Thank goodness that girl reacted quickly, or else this guy would’ve taken advantage of her!”
“What’s wrong worked up?”
with me?” Cullen said. “Wasn’t it just a dance with Jessica? Why are you so
Cullen slowly withdrew his gaze from the crowd when he was certain Madison was not amidst them.
The shoulder throw made him feel like his waist had taken a hit. At this moment, his hands remained on his back, supporting it as if he were a pregnant woman.
But he was not angry. Instead, he was smiling in a silly manner.
“Tsk, I haven’t seen her in so many years, and her personality is getting increasingly strong,” Cullen said. “She is much more interesting than when we were kids, and all she did was follow you around. Hey, Leo, do you have Jessica’s contact info? Help me. I’m determined to win her heart!”
Leo squinted and said, “Did you knock your kidney or brain? Don’t forget. Madison is still my wife.”
“Oh, I know, but aren’t you getting a divorce?” Cullen said. “Besides, you don’t treat Jessica as a wife either. If it weren’t for Edgar, you wouldn’t have married her.”
Cullen’s words exposed Leo’s thoughts, rendering him speechless.
Not content with that, Cullen touched his waist and added another remark while Leo remained silent.
“I have to say,” he said. “Your wife is amazing!”
Leo was at a loss for words.
Leo did not want to engage
in a meaningless conversation with Cullen. He recalled the scene of Madison giving Cullen a shoulder throw.
He thought, ‘She has such a petite figure, yet she managed to bring down Cullen before he touched her. Her reaction and speed aren’t what she should have. At the very least, she was just a petite girl who knew nothing but to run to Grandpa to complain three years ago. When did she learn to fight?”
Leo’s black eyes turned serious. He glanced at his good friend, who was savoring the beauty’s mocking remarks. “The things I asked you to investigate. How much have you found out?” he asked.

Chapter 25
Cullen was not thinking about that shoulder throw. It was the dance that was worth savoring in his mind.
This was especially the case concerning the sense of desolation when Madison mentioned not having the time or the need to practice dancing while being abroad. It truly evoked his affection.
“I truly don’t understand you,” Cullen said, “Jessica was a young girl when she went abroad alone. What could there be to investigate? When we were dancing, she mentioned that apart from classes, she worked part-time to earn money. I reckon the stingy couple from the Hale family probably didn’t even send her money for her living expenses.”
Cullen had a caring and attentive nature toward the women he loved. He felt outraged thinking about Madison being alone and likely in a pitiful state when she was abroad.
Cullen immediately put on a stern face and questioned Leo when he recalled that. Madison had been married to Leo when she went abroad.
“This doesn’t make sense!” he said. “She’s married to you then, so why wouldn’t you give her any money after sending her abroad? Wow, you let a young girl fend for herself abroad. Are you human, Leo?”
Leo raised his hand to wave Cullen’s finger away, ordered a drink, and sat in the booth. Then, he said, “Before you ask me these questions, use your brain and figure out where she got the skill to throw you over her shoulder.”
As for Cullen’s question, Leo also wanted to know why Madison had not withdrawn a single cent from the money that he transferred every month.
It was as if she disappeared after going abroad. Even her phone became unreachable.
Apart from getting some information from her mother occasionally, there was complete silence for the rest of the time.
He thought. ‘She ignored me out of anger, so why should I actively provoke her and cause her to have unnecessary thoughts? But now, it seems I’ve indeed gone too far.
Cullen also ordered a drink. He lazily leaned back on the couch, indifferent to Leo’s questioning.
“As a young girl living abroad, she has to learn something to protect herself, right?” Cullen said. “What’s wrong with a shoulder throw? She was lucky it was me today. If she were to encounter a per vert, Jessica’s skills wouldn’t be of much help.”
Leo’s fingers that were holding the glass tightened slightly. His gaze turned gloomy as he said, “Don’t call her Jessica.”
