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

Chapter 1 36

The person on the other end seemed to heave a sigh of relief.

Then, her tone became gentler. “I heard from Morris that this time, after your divorce, Leo gave you a

lot of assets. Even the Creek Court that Grandpa bought for the two of you is transferred to your name,

right?”

The smile on Madison’s face widened. She did not deny it and hummed softly.

Amber continued, “Madison, you see, our family has been good to you since Grandpa was still alive.

Although Leo has let you down in this marriage, he has not mistreated you in other aspects. You see…”

“Amber, just tell me what you want me to do.”

Madison interrupted her directly. She did not want to listen to her persuasion anymore.

“Alright, I’ll say something I have to say. Don’t blame me for being ruthless to you at this time. I’m part

of the Palmer family and I have to prioritize the reputation of it.”

Amber’s tone suddenly became serious, and without playing the emotional card any further, she

directly stated her intentions.

“I hope you can delete the post you posted yesterday and cooperate with the public. relations team of

Palmer Group. You don’t need to say anything, just repost the official statement from the company. Can

you do that?”

Madison was not in a hurry to respond. She leaned back on the sofa, holding the phone. with one hand

and tapping her leg with her fingertips.

Amber seemed to have realized that her request was a little too much. After a few. seconds of silence,

she relaxed.

“Madison, if you’re unwilling, just delete that post. You don’t have to do anything else. afterward. Is this

okay?”

If it were anyone else, they might have agreed to it.

However, Madison did not relent. “Amber, since you know that I posted this clarification post, you

should know the ins and outs of the matter. I didn’t take the initiative to post to take revenge. It’s just

that the public opinion on the Internet is a little too much for me, so had no choice. If I delete it, I’ll

always be labeled as a third party in this marriage. If I’m unhappy, my brother won’t be happy either.”

“Amber, if you want me to think about it from another perspective, then you should do the same. How

would you feel if all these accusations were directed at you?”

Chapter 1 36

Amber was speechless.

She did not expect Madison to not fall for her trick at all and even accuse her by using her words.

Having brothers for support had given her a different confidence. She used to be a much more

submissive girl when she was in the Hale family.

Amber took a deep breath and stopped talking to her in a gentle tone. Her tone became

stern.

“Madison, I know that you’re the one who suffered in this matter, but things have

different levels of importance. All these years, you’ve also received a lot of favors from the Palmer

family. I’ve always treated you as my real daughter. Think about it with your conscience. Has the

Palmer family ever treated you badly? When Grandpa was alive, did he treat you well?”

“Now, I’m only asking you to delete a post. I haven’t even mentioned that I’ll gel the company to delete

any negative comments about you. But, you’re already unwilling. You’re really disappointing us!”

This was almost like accusing Madison of being ungrateful.

However, these words did seem to reflect that perspective.

She had already called to make a request, but Madison still did not do as she was told. Considering the

care the Palmer family had shown in the past, it was indeed a bit ungrateful.

Moreover, Amber had already mentioned Edgar’s name.

Madison stopped what she was doing and was about to agree when she heard Amber speak again.

“Madison, you also know your brother’s identity. He’s the best actor and superstar in the entertainment

industry. Although there are no clues about the Daves family’s background, the artists in the

entertainment industry can’t tolerate any stains, especially the artists at the top. If your brother falls,

he’ll fall even harder. The Palmer family was in decline for the first two years, but Leo is quite capable.

He can bring down one or two people if he wants to.”

Madison paused.

This approach seemed too soft. Was she going to use force on her?

She could not help but smile. Not only was she laughing at Amber’s methods of using both soft and

hard methods, but she was also laughing at herself. She actually had the

ability to make Amber afraid.

She did not say anything more to Amber and simply agreed.

“I’ll delete the post. You don’t have to worry about the rest, Amber. I’ll handle it myself.

Don’t worry, I won’t cause trouble for Palmer on the future, even if it’s just to

clear my name.”

With the words reaching this point, Amber naturally had nothing more to say.

She seemed to think that Madison took the threat seriously, fearing that the Palmer. Group might do

something to Adonis, so she cased her tone.

“It’s good that you’ve thought it through, Madison. You know my temperament; sometimes I’m strict

about business matters. So, don’t take today’s matter to heart. I also heard that Leo even gave you

some funds and assets. You should know that your benefits will only increase if the Palmer Group does

well. We all rise and fall together.” Amber said.

I’m saying all this because I hope that you don’t have any grudges in your heart. Although we won’t be

able to be a family in the future, you’re still a child I watched grow up. If there’s anything, you can still

come to me. Also, if your brother needs any investment in filming, just let me know. The Palmer family

is still willing to be your support.”

Madison smiled and listened quietly.

Her slender fingers tapped on her legs again. Although there was a smile on her bright. face, her eyes

were indifferent.



She showed neither impatience nor resistance, merely responding obediently.

“I got it, Amber. I’ll delete the post later. I appreciate your concern and for calling to wake me up.”

Pretending to be obedient was a piece of cake for her. In the past, she had survived like this in the Hale

family. Otherwise, with frequent beatings and scolding, she might not have been able to survive until

she married Leo and was sent overseas.

However, behind these obedient words, there was a more complex sentiment.

Madison’s mention of being “woken up” meant she had come to realize that in this world, apart from her

real family, no one was sincerely good to her.

Favors could be either out of pity or with hidden motives.

In this world, no one helped selflessly like family, and even with their own relatives, there was no

obligation for them to assist.

Madison didn’t understand this before. She survived through those favors and felt that. it was natural.

Now that she had thought it through, it was time to return the favor bit by bit.

Amber did not know Madison’s deeper thoughts. She assumed Madison had agreed under her

persuasion and coercion. Having achieved her goal, Amber exchanged a few more pleasantries before

ending the call.

After the call ended, Madison looked a little tired.

She had

spent most of her time in the Palmer family since she was young. Before Sally returned, Ramona

treated her well. She also cared about her relationship with the Palmer family, even hoping that she

and Leo could be together.

After Sally returned, Madison lived with the Hale family quietly, always hoping that Edgar would miss

her and invite her to visit. She also spent a considerable amount of time at the Palmer family.

However, now that she thought about it, she seemed to have spent more time in the Hale family. It was

just that she did not want to think too much about those bad memories, so most of her memories were

of the Palmer family.

Edgar was indeed very good to her.

Madison halted her thoughts, unwilling to indulge in baseless speculations about a departed person.

She simply wished to preserve the beautiful memories in her mind.

No matter what, Edgar had taught her a lot and made her endure those difficult days.

As for the intricacies of human relationships that she did not understand in the she would slowly learn

them in the future.

Madison stopped thinking and turned on her phone to delete the post from yesterday.

Then, she made a call.
