Chapter 32
Leo’s wedding caused quite a stir in the industry. Years ago, Edgar forced him to marry Madison, and
she was sent abroad on the night of their wedding. Everyone laughed at her for marrying into a wealthy
family but did not have the clout to hold the title of “Mrs. Palmer.”
On the other hand, another young lady from the Hale family claimed to be Leo’s wife, waiting for the
day for Leo and Madison to divorce so she could claim the title. rightfully. Everyone thought everything
had been settled, especially after the Hale family announced Sally’s upcoming wedding to Leo just half
a month ago, but Leo had not officially divorced Madison. It was turning into quite a joke!
“What did you say…” Sally seemed to be taken aback by Madison’s words. She didn’t even get to finish
speaking before she was pushed aside.
A well-dressed man walked straight toward Madison with a stern look and said in an angry tone,
“Madison, did you not take what I said seriously at all?”
‘How dare you attend this event with Joe Daves?’ Leo wondered. ‘Looks like you haven’t listened to a
word I said!”
Madison looked puzzled. “Sorry, Mr. Palmer, I don’t quite understand what you meant. Plus, I don’t
quite remember what you said to me. Besides, you will be my ex-husband soon, so why should I take
your words seriously?”
“You…” Leo’s face grew darker. Before he could finish speaking, Madison cut in. “Mr. Palmer, instead of
saying these meaningless things to me, why don’t you check on your fiancée? It’s not easy to calm
down an angry girl.”
Following Madison’s gaze, Leo finally noticed Sally, who had been pushed aside behind him. “What are
you doing here?” he frowned.
Sally realized something. Leo hadn’t even seen her! All his attention was on Madison.
“Leo…” Sally looked pitifully at Leo. “The company invited me to attend F anny’s fashion. gala, and I
ran into Madison. I wanted to say hello, but I didn’t expect her to be with the general manager of XY
Entertainment…”
Although Sally didn’t finish her sentence, it was clear what she was implying at. No man wanted to be
cheated on, even if he didn’t like his wife or they had separated or divorced. He would be possessive,
especially when the divorce proceedings hadn’t been completed.
As Sally expected, Leo’s face turned colder. Although she felt a little uncomfortable that the divorce
proceedings weren’t finished, seeing Madison in a bad situation made her happy. Besides, everyone

what was there to worry about?
Madison couldn’t be bothered with Sally anymore. She let Sally say whatever she wanted and walked
hand in hand with Joe onto the red carpet and into the venue. Leo caught a glimpse of Madison’s
departing figure, and without hesitation, he followed her.
“Leo, wait for me!” Sally hurriedly chased after them, holding up her dress.
Leo looked at Madison, who was a few steps ahead, thought for a moment, and stopped. There were a
lot of people entering the venue then, and security needed to check their invitations, so it didn’t matter if
he took his time.
Sally smiled and grabbed Leo’s arm. “Leo, why did you come to this kind of gala today? You never
used to come before. If I had known you were coming, I would have waited. for you.”
Leo looked at the wrist on his arm and frowned slightly. “It’s about work.” He didn’t explain anything
more to Sally and walked forward, his gaze unconsciously searching for Madison. But he couldn’t find Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
her anymore, even though there were many people in front of them presenting their invitations.
Madison and Joe entered the venue through the VIP channel. Right before they arrived, they
messaged Fan ny, and if they hadn’t been delayed earlier, they would have been inside. As they
reached the entrance, a greete
invited them in without checking their invitations, which surprised the people around them. However, no
one paid too much attention to it. They just thought that the fashion and entertainment circles were not
separate, and it was probably because of XR Entertainment and Fa nny’s cooperation that Madison
and Joe were invited separately.
Madison and Joe were taken to the backstage area. There was a fashion show at the gala, and the
venue was crowded. Despite this, Madison immediately spotted the most powerful woman in the hall.
Although the fashion show wasn’t live, once on the runway, it would be a performance and a showcase
with no room for error. Fan ny, known as the “Iron Lady” in the industry, took care of everything as long
as she had the energy and ability. Be it in the creation of a fashion magazine, the establishment of her
design studio, or the registration of her company, her efficiency was admirable. Even in the chaotic
backstage scene, she issued commands and had them executed promptly.
Madison and Joe stood quietly on the side. They did not approach and watched Fa nny’s serious face
as she selected suitable clothes for different models.
It seemed as if family members always had a telepathic connection. When Fa nny was adjusting the
waist of a dress for a model, she glanced in Madison and Joe’s direction out of the corner of her eye.
Immediately, her ice-cold face broke into a smile. She

The models and assistants were stunned. What kind of divine intervention could make the “Iron Lady”
reveal such a gentle smile? It was simply unbelievable!
“How can you just show up without telling me in advance? Are you guys just going to stand there and
watch me work?” Fan ny patted Joe on the arm and hugged Madison.
“Come on, Fan ny. Joe and I didn’t dare to disturb you while you were working. Besides, you look cool
when you’re working! You’re almost making Joe and me feel guilty,” Madison said.
“You audacious girl, you’re getting bolder. How dare you not greet me just now? I’ll tell your parents
when I go back to Rozalia.” Fan ny tapped Madison’s head.
“No, please! I’m sorry, Fan ny!” Madison coaxed her.
Fa nny burst into laughter, her heart softening. “Alright, alright, I’m not finished here. You and Joe can
go outside and grab something to eat. Oh, Samuel is here tonight. Go find him so he won’t be bored
alone.”
“Samuel? What makes that nerd willing to come out?” Joe was surprised.
“Well, thanks to Jessica. Samuel didn’t listen to a word I said. But when I said Jessica ist here tonight,
he flew over immediately.” Fan ny joked and said to Madison, “Talk to him later and see if there are any
girls he’s interested in. It’s not easy for him to come out.”
“Okay, I got it, Fa nny.” Madison felt a bit embarrassed by the teasing.
Madison and Joe didn’t stay backstage for long. After saying goodbye to Fan ny, they left. But as soon
as they went out, some people approached Joe with drinks, and he couldn’t refuse in a business
setting like this. Madison didn’t like it, so she said a few words to Joe and left. But she hadn’t gone far
when she heard her name from the side, the content of which she heard made her stop in her tracks.
