Madison turned around and saw Antoine’s well-defined side profile.

She nodded, her eyes filled with worry. Her gaze subconsciously shifted in the direction where Joe had

disappeared.

“Antoine, do you know it?

Antoine followed Madison’s gaze and a faint smile appeared on his clear face.

“Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with you.”

He carefully told Madison some of the things that had happened within the Daves family in the past.

In recounting these events, not only did it involve Joe’s past. but occasionally. Antoine also mentioned

things among the other brothers. He even brought up the incident where their aunt led Uncle Smith into

the Daves family. By the time he nearly finished. it was already late at night, and Madison was already

sleepy. After washing up, she lay down and quickly fell asleep

When she woke up the next day, she was still a little dazed. She sat in the room for a while before she

regained her senses.

As usual, she made breakfast herself. Unlike before, she didn’t do it according to her preferences. This

time, she added an extra breakfast.

She toasted the bread, spread it with sliced fruits, and adorned it with yogurt. The cut eggs and a cup

of milk looked a little out of place when placed together with orange juice and croissants beside them.

When Joe went downstairs, Madison happened to have placed all the breakfast neatly. When he saw Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

everything on the dining table, he raised his eyebrows and looked a little surprised.

“Yo, Jessica, did something good happen to you today? There’re so many dishes on the table.”

Without any hesitation, he started cating without waiting for anyone.

Madison came out of the kitchen and saw that Joe’s tie was draped over the back of a chair. He was

already holding a knife and fork and starting to eat the toast that was not perfectly baked.

She smiled and sat down in front of her croissants. “Joe, you’re too much. You ate more than half of it

without even asking who it was for.”

Joe squinted at her. “Who else is here other than me?”

“Antoine went for a run. He’ll be back soon. He’s going back to the set this afternoon. What if I

prepared it for him?” Madison said deliberately.

Joe snorted. “There’s so much on the table. Even if it was meant for him and got messed up, I can still

eat it, right? He’s staying with me, and I haven’t even complained.”

His tone made Madison laugh uncontrollably.

She glanced at the almost-empty plate in front of Joe and said, “There’s more toast in the kitchen

toaster. If you need more, you can go get some. I don’t make extra breakfast often, so the portions

might be quite a lot.”

As for the other matters, she didn’t say anything else. It was as if the small unhappiness. last night had

never happened.

Joe paused when he heard that. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at Madison.

“Jessica, did you cause trouble again? Tell me the truth. If this drags on, there’s no way to save you.

“What trouble can I cause? I’m with you every day.”

“Who knows? You’ve caused a lot of trouble.”

Joe clicked his tongue. That smug look made Madison want to splash milk on his face.

She took a bite of the croissants and quickly suppressed her temper.

and

When she looked up again, she was still smiling. “Joe, can’t you think of me in a better

with you way? For example, I treat you better this time because I can’t bear to part think about how I’ll

be separated from you next week.”

“Save that act. I almost vomited last night’s dinner.”

Joc expressionlessly finished the last bite of his food. He took a tissue and wiped the corners of his

mouth before getting up.

As he tied his tic, he said slowly, “Jessica, if you have the heart, you should order more of my favorite

food in the next week. Don’t talk nonsense. I’m going to work.”

As for the idea of going back to Rozalia together with her, he was not willing to mention it even half-

heartedly.

Madison was a little discouraged, but she also knew that changing someone’s mindset was not an easy

task.

Since Joe started earning money, he never went back again. How could he be willing to return home

just because of a few words from her?

Although she was disappointed, she didn’t lose hope. She also didn’t forget to express concern for him,

“Joe, have you eaten enough? There’s more toast in the kitchen.”

Joe waved his hand and left without responding.

Now, only Madison was left at the dining table.

She lowered hint of frustration and helplessness, she took the food on her

plate and slowly took small bites.

The momentary peace was soon shattered.

After breakfast, Madison turned on her phone and other electronic devices. She planned to resolve the

public opinion online in the morning so that she could go to work before the opening of the Rose

Garden in the afternoon.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned on her devices, numerous messages, missed calls, and a flurry of

texts popped up. It felt like her personal privacy had been exposed, attracting attention from scams and

fraudsters.

With an overwhelming number of messages on WhatsApp and SMS, Madison temporarily set them

aside. She thought of handling the missed calls first, but before she could click and check on it, another

call came through.

It was the call from Amber.

Madison frowned. After thinking for a moment, she picked up the call. “Hello, Amber.”

“Madison, did you really divorce Leo?”

Amber didn’t have time for pleasantries. She got straight to the point with an urgent

tone.

Madison had guessed that Amber was going to say this, so she was not surprised. She hummed softly

and said, “Yes, Amber. The divorce procedures have been completed.”

“What?”

Amber could feel her anger through the screen.

Madison said calmly, “Amber, we never thought of hiding the divorce from you. You knew about it long

ago, but due to various reasons, the procedures were delayed a little. It was only officially completed

two days ago. Marriage is about spending the rest of your life together. If it’s not working, it’s better to

cut ties in time.”

“But Madison, even if you are divorced, you don’t have to make such a fuss. Do you know how much

the company’s market value has plummeted in just one night?” Amber suddenly complained.

Madison stopped talking.

She didn’t hang up the phone but lingered on the tone of the conversation just now. Amber’s previous

kindness and the current situation made her feelings a bit complex.

She wasn’t sad, nor did she feel that it was very realistic.

It just felt like it should be this way, yet it shouldn’t.

She couldn’t express that feeling, but overall, it wasn’t a good experience.

The

person on the other end of the phone seemed to have reacted very quickly, and her voice became

gentle.

“Madison, I don’t mean to blame you. That brat indeed let you down first, forcing you. to post a

response. I apologize to you first.”

“But Madison, think about it from his perspective. Managing such a big company can be overwhelming.

Sometimes, it’s difficult to consider every person and every situation. This time, he mainly posted that

message to protect the company, not because of Sally. Please don’t take it to heart, okay?”

Even coaxing and persuading did make sense.

If she were the CEO of Palmer Group, she would indeed do the same. She would choose the best

solution to protect the company’s image and prove that she was not

wrong.

However, the problem was that she was not the person in charge of the Palmer Group. Why should she

put herself in that position?

She was not just a little miserable after being insulted.

Madison’s lips curled into a cold smile.

“So, Amber, what do you want me to do?”
