My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise

Chapter 40

Chapter 40

Leo leaned against the car door, his neatly combed hair tousled by the wind, adding a touch of roguish

charm to his dignified demeanor. When Madison walked over, he straightened his posture nonchalantly

while his eyes darkened slightly upon seeing the man beside her.

The night wind blew, carrying a hint of chilliness. Madison draped Joe’s suit jacket over her shoulders,

still feeling cold. Without looking at the man before her, she walked forward with Samuel. Just like what

she did earlier, she brushed past him. However, Leo didn’t remain indifferent as he did inside. He

turned to block her path.

“What exactly do you want, Mr. Palmer?” Madison intended to ignore him and leave, but many people

were milling around, including the media. Although Madison and Leo were not from the entertainment

industry, causing a scene here would undoubtedly lead to online gossip. It would be troublesome.

Leo glanced at her and turned to Samuel. “Mr. Smith, thank you for accompanying my wife outside.

The event has ended, and I believe my wife should be going home with

me now.” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Samuel was surprised but didn’t let go. He remained expressionless. “If my information. is correct, Mr.

Palmer, you have signed a divorce agreement with Miss Madison. Moreover, you are not lacking in the

company of another lady. It wouldn’t be appropriate to pester your ex-wife, right?”

Although the car window was reflective, they were close enough to see Sally, who was sitting in the car.

Leo seemed to ignore the latter part of Samuel’s statement. “Your information is indeed correct, Mr.

Smith. I have indeed signed a divorce agreement with my wife. However, it has not been notarized, nor

have the formalities been completed. She is still my wife. Moreover…” He paused, glancing at Madison

before continuing with a smile, “My wife called me ‘honey’ half an hour ago. It wouldn’t be appropriate

to deny it now, would it?”

Madison was shocked by Leo’s shameless words. ‘How could he say the word ‘wife’ without batting an

eye?’ she wondered. ‘If it weren’t her brother but a business partner who had accompanied her today,

they would probably have been intimidated by Leo’s words and left her.

Madison couldn’t help but exclaim, “Leo, stop, okay? I’ve made myself clear, and your intentions are

obvious to everyone. Why put on a show in front of a group of outsiders?”

Not only was Leo not angry, but he also said confidently, “So you do know he’s just an outsider, huh? In

that case, is there anything wrong with me going home with my

Madison couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation. It was the first time she had seen Leo so adept at

changing the subject. Despite talking about one thing, he shifted the conversation to another topic. At

the same time, however, she noticed the slightly rolled-down car window. She decided to throw caution

to the wind.

“Lco, aren’t you afraid I’ll take the title ‘Mrs. Palmer’ from Sally and refuse to give it back? When that

day comes, you’ll never be able to divorce me even if you want to!”

Leo met her furious gaze and suddenly chuckled. “As of now, it seems like you’re the one eager for a

divorce, so what do I have to fear?”

That made sense. Madison wanted to end this as quickly as possible, so the ball was in

his court.

Madison chuckled as well, tilting her head slightly. “Mr. Palmer, aren’t you afraid that I’m doing this on

purpose? You must have heard of the strategy of letting someone think they’ve caught you. What if I’m

doing it on purpose, just for the title of ‘Mrs. Palmer’?”

Leo’s smile widened even further, his tone mocking her as if they were old friends who hadn’t seen

each other in years. Indeed, given their past, they should have been friends. He said, “Madison, your

acting skills suck. I’m not stup id. I can tell when you’re pretending and when you’re genuinely angry.”

At least for now, he could easily see through her clumsy acting.

The smile on Madison’s face immediately vanished. Leo looked at her changing expression and

suddenly found that even if she was playing hard to get, it wouldn’t be bad to continue this battle with

her for the rest of their lives. At least it wouldn’t be too boring.

“Mr. Palmer, your future fiancée is right here. You always say such things just because she has a good

temper. If it were me, I would have slapped you in the face and walked away.” Madison didn’t want to

continue this game with Leo, so she got Sally involved. He was supposed to care a lot about this

woman. She wanted to make Sally cry

and see how he would handle it.

Unfortunately, Leo didn’t seem to care at all. He turned to look at Sally and said to Madison, “You are

you, and Sally is Sally. She wouldn’t act like you.”

Sally timely spoke up beside them. “Madison, I know you’re still mad at me. It was my fault last time,

and I didn’t mean to. I’m sorry. Come back with us. It’s not safe outside. After all, we grew up together.

We’re family.”

“Madison, since Sally has taken a step back, you should too, okay?” Leo stepped forward to pull her

into the car, but before his fingers could touch her, Madison forcefully

pushed him away. She sneered to herself. ‘So, my acting sucks, but you think Sally’s disgusting acting

is good? What a blind, clueless man!

Madison looked at Leo as she said, “Alright, I can go back with you.”

Leo’s eyes instantly lit up, and Samuel, who was standing beside her, looked at her in surprise. Sally

was even more astonished, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.

Madison lowered her head and looked at Sally, saying slowly, “I can go back with you, but I want to sit

in the front passenger seat. Also, tell her to get lost.” Her tone was anything but polite!

Leo frowned. “Madison, stop messing around.”

Madison shrugged nonchalantly. “I am who I am, and Sally is Sally. This is just my temperament. If

she’s willing to step back, she might as well give up her seat.”

Sally naturally wasn’t willing to give it up. She could pretend to be pitiful, but if she gave it up, it would

mean she was admitting her identity as a homewrecker. ‘Clearly, Madison is the homewrecker!’ she

thought. ‘If it weren’t for her powerful backing, how would she have the opportunity to be Leo’s wife

back then?’

“Madison, do you have to be so unreasonable?” Sally immediately feigned innocence.

Madison smiled. “Exactly, this is not your first day meeting me, isn’t it?”

Knowing that her acting didn’t work on Madison, Sally was so angry that she couldn’t speak. She rolled

down the car window, no longer listening to the confrontation while hiding in the car. ‘What can a

temporary ‘Mrs. Palmer’ do?’ she said to herself. ‘If I could make Leo send you abroad back then, I can

make Leo divorce you! I have to endure a little longer… Just wait a little longer!’

“Since you can’t meet my demands, there’s no need for further discussion. Goodbye, Mr. Palmer.”

Madison turned her head again. As she took a step, Leo stopped her. “Madison, do you have to sit in

the front passenger seat to go home?”

Madison smiled, tilting her head. “Yeah, exactly! Haven’t I made myself clear enough?”
