My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise by Lindsay Lewis

Chapter 42
“There was no comparability between the two matters.” Leo frowned.
“Why is that so? Just because Mr. Daves is male and Sally is female? There’s gender equality now. Am I right, Mr. Palmer?”
Madison sat up straight and fastened her seatbelt.
“Moreover, you told Mr. Smith earlier that a home wrecker is not decent. I have been wanting to ask you a question. Between Sally and me, who is the home wrecker in your eyes?”
As the words were spoken, a sudden silence enveloped the car.
Aside from the sound of the car engine, there was only the shallow breathing of the two individuals.
Madison wasn’t expecting Leo to give her an answer either.
She laughed self-deprecatingly and said, “There’s a very vulgar saying online, “The one who is not loved is the true home wrecker. Even if you don’t say it. I know it myself. Now I understand nothing forcibly done is agreeable…”
She paused, tilting her head to look at Leo, her tone and expression serious.
“So, Mr. Palmer, I’ve let go. Can’t you let me go too?”
Leo looked ahead with a tight-lipped expression.
Although the car was moving along smoothly, he managed to drive it with a high-speed racing.
After a long time, he finally spoke in a tone filled with suppressed anger.
a sense of
“Did you return to the country to get a divorce? You lied to me at Creek Court that night.
It was something that he had already known, yet he insisted on asking for the details.
Even his tone was declarative rather than interrogative.
“I was prepared to go through with a divorce early on, but haven’t you? There is no need for you to speak in this tone. If you feel that I have wronged you, I can apologize,” Madison replied calmly.
She openly admitted it, and her nonchalant attitude made Leo feel like punching into the air.

‘But did she say anything wrong?
“The divorce was my idea. Even though she made up her mind early on, I took the initiative.
“What am I getting angry for?’ thought Leo.

Everything seemed natural and effortless, yet Leo felt a fire burning in his chest.
He raised his hand and loosened his tie, unwilling to think again about the divorce with Madison.
He changed the topic. “How do you know the folks from the Daves family?”
Madison glanced at him in confusion and said, “This has nothing to do with you, Mr. Palmer. It’s my privacy, and I’d rather not answer.”
In another form, it was like, “None of your freaking business!”
She closed her eyes, looking as if she needed some rest.
Leo found Madison just couldn’t be reasoned with. After taking a deep breath, he patiently said, “The Daves family had been doing business in Rozalia all these while, and suddenly, they had expanded to Sidovor City. Furthermore, it was not just one member of the family. You’ve been with Grandpa for so many years. Have you ever considered that they might be approaching you with ill intentions?”
The words were tactful, but Madison sensed a deeper meaning.
The people from the Daves family might have malicious intentions, or… she might be actively leaking secrets to gain favor with the Daves family.
She didn’t know if Leo meant it this way, but she thought of it anyway.
She opened her eyes and chuckled softly with a strong sarcasm.
Suddenly, she became curious. ‘Did he send someone to follow me when I was abroad. because of Sally, or was it because he feared I might disclose some secrets of the Palmer Group?’ she wondered.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Edgar had designated her as the next mistress of the Palmer family. She had been by Edgar’s side for several years, so it was impossible that she hadn’t heard something from Edgar.
Truth to be told, she was indeed aware of some matters.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have secretly lent a hand after Leo took over Palmer Group by collaborating
with him at M&L Studio.

Edgar mentioned that there were quite a few ambitious individuals within the group. As of now, the Palmer family only had Leo, and it was inevitable that he might find it challenging to maintain a stable position within the company.
Madison harbored the most sincere joy at that time. Even though she was sent to a foreign country, she held onto illusions, doing everything she could to ensure no worries would befall Leo.
So, the more intense the love, the more thorough the disillusion.
However, she didn’t harbor any hatred toward Leo.
She loved Leo willingly. Leo had never given her any hope.
‘Since Sally appeared, his gaze has never fallen on me again.
‘For one who is not unfaithful, why would I hate him?
‘I’m tired of being delusional. Why add more burden to myself?’ thought Madison.
However, she couldn’t understand how the boy who used to protect her when they were kids, prevented others from bullying her and called her “wifey” could become so strange now.
‘Was it just the unrestrained talk of a child and couldn’t be taken seriously?
‘Even the last bit of good feeling disappeared completely, thought Madison.
She slowly voiced her question. “Leo Palmer, if it’s as you suspect, would you kill me and make me disappear from this world?”
“Madison, what nonsense are you talking about?” Leo interrupted her words without hesitation.
‘How could she talk about killing so casually?
‘Kill her? I would never… thought Leo.
He seemed to have noticed his tone was a bit harsh, and Madison’s mood also seemed off. He softened his tone and said, “Madison, why do you have to ask that?”
Madison fell silent for a moment before closing her eyes again.
“It’s nothing. It was a casual question. Don’t take it to heart.”
‘From his tone, it seems like he is not aware that his men had attempted to assassinate me abroad.

‘But the clues John and his team found point to the Palmer family.
‘Either he is covering up, or Sally is using Leo’s influence to do things that he is not
aware of.
