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

Chapter 123

“Huh?”

Morris was stunned for a moment and did not know how to answer.

He couldn’t possibly tell his boss that Madison looked quite happy, right? After all, it was a divorce, not

a wedding. However, he could not quite bring himself to lie and say that she looked sad.

Morris deliberated for a moment and said carefully, “She did not seem to have any. reaction. She just

said that she will see you at four in the afternoon.”

A cold sneer came from the other end of the line. “No reaction at all? Yeah right, she was probably

laughing her head off.”

The last sentence sounded like it was said through gritted teeth.

Morris was silent for a beat before saying seriously, “That does seem like an exaggerated description.”

If he remembered correctly, Madison only had a faint smile on her face. Although she looked quite

happy, she had not burst into raucous laughter at the thought of divorcing

Leo.

Hearing this, it was Leo’s turn to be silent.

After another ten seconds of silence, he hung up the call abruptly.

Morris was left utterly speechless.

Meanwhile at the hospital, a man stood in front of the window to the patient ward, looking absolutely

livid. He looked down at the phone in his hand, its screen dimming. His fingers were wrapped around

the gadget so tightly that it was nearly crushed into fragments.

An exaggerated description? Yeah right!

“Leo…

Behind him, Sally’s weak voice slowly sounded.

Leo turned around before he could restrain the hostility in his eyes. “What’s the

matter?”

Sally was shocked by the hostility in his gaze. For a moment, she thought she saw the man in a silver

mask staring down at her ominously again. In that instant, a suffocating fear overwhelmed her.

She shook her head in fear. “I-I’m fine. I just wanted to say that if you have something to do, you can go

back to the company first. I’m… fine here. You don’t have to stay here.

all the time.”

Perhaps it was because Leo’s face had truly terrified her, but she looked rather pitiful

now.

Leo had already rearranged his features. His face returning to his usual indifference, he said, “I don’t

have anything to do today. I just need to go out in the afternoon and settle the divorce procedures.”

Happiness flashed across Sally’s eyes.

However, she suppressed it instantly. “Did Madison… agree?”

Leo sat down on the sofa in the ward. He paused and sneered, “I’m afraid she can’t wait to get a

divorce.”

His resentful tone was like a bucket of cold water being poured on Sally’s head, washing away the joy

from just a few seconds ago..

No matter how stu pid she was, she could tell that Leo was unwilling to go through with the divorce.

However, he did not seem aware of that himself.

Sally raised her gaze and looked at the man’s cold side profile. She bit her lip and said, “Leo, if you

don’t want to divorce Madison, then tell her properly. She liked you so much in the past. I’m sure she’s

reluctant now too.”

Leo frowned and looked up. “Are you going to get these foolish ideas like my mother?”

Sally’s eyes immediate/v

filled with tears when he heard his cold words.

“Leo, I know you’re already very disappointed in me now. You probably don’t want to marry me

anymore. Initially, I thought putting an end to my life would be a good idea. Unfortunately, I didn’t

manage to kill myself, and now I’ve become the brunt of everyone’s jokes.

“I’ve let my sister down in the past. I’ll get my mother to return those things to her. As for the money, I

didn’t force her to take it. Just treat it as me making up for my mistakes in the past. I won’t use my

illness as an excuse anymore. A mistake is a mistake.

“Lastly, I’ve troubled you for the past two days because of me. Don’t worry. I won’t disturb you again in

the future. You can live a good life without me…

Sally choked as she spoke and squeezed out two drops of tears from her eyes. She looked utterly

pitiful.

Leo frowned even more. “Sally, I didn’t say that I wouldn’t marry you.”

The woman on the bed was stunned for a moment, as if she did not understand what

he meant.

Leo got up from the sofa and looked at her. “Don’t let your imagination run wild. I won’t go back on my

word.”

Sally was overjoyed.

She originally thought that the whole affair would have angered Leo beyond measure. At the very least,

she could not afford to bring up his promise to marry her any time



soon.

Hence, she decided to make concessions for the sake of advance. She did not expect it. to be effective

so quickly.

“But I’ve done so many wrong things…”

Sally did not seem overly happy. Instead, she looked rather uneasy.

Leo was silent for a moment.

Indeed, when he found out about her involvement, he had considered going back on his promise to

marry her.

The man tapped his fingers against his thigh and said in a deep voice, “It’s good that you recognize

your mistakes. Don’t do it again in the future.”

Sally nodded repeatedly. “I know I was wrong. Moreover, I’ve paid such a costly price this time that I

have learnt the error of my ways completely. I promise I won’t do anything to my sister in the future.”

Leo hummed softly and did not say anything else.

It was likely that he would never contact Madison again after the divorce. Marrying Sally was unlikely to

cause both of them any trouble.

Meanwhile, to compensate Madison for the wrongs she had suffered, he would rewrite the divorce

agreement to grant her some redress.

After that, they would not contact each other again.

The ward was silent for a while before Sally could not help but speak. “By the way, Leo, may 1 ask

where you were last night?”



“It was raining heavily last night and there was even thunder. I couldn’t get through to you even when I

called you…”

Chapter 123

Leo was in a daze.

He thought of Madison, who had been frightened back into a child last night, and the scars on her body,

as well as her snow-white skin under the numerous scars, and the fragrance that wrapped around

him….

“Leo?”

Sally called out to him, staring straight at him.

Leo came back to his senses. His eyes seemed to have dimmed slightly. “Send me the design of any

gowns you like. Also, let me know if you have a ring design you want. I just remembered that I have a

few things to settle. I’ll leave first, then.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he left without responding to Sally’s question.

As the door of the ward swung gently close, the gentle face of the woman on the bed. instantly

darkened.

She looked at the message she had received on her phone and was so angry that she wanted to

smash it!

That wench, Madison!

The message on the phone was sent by the masked man. The sender had a blank profile picture, and

was identifiable only by a letter ‘C. It was similar to Leo’s profile, but his had a letter ‘F’ instead.



The message informed her that Leo had remained in the Palmer family residence the entire night, only

to leave this morning. A while later, Madison had left the same residence with a smiling Amber.

In other words, Madison and Leo had spent the night together at the Palmer family’s residence

yesterday night.

With Amber playing matchmaker, who knows if the two of them had slept in the same

room?

With a thunderstorm raging in the background, it was difficult to believe that nothing. happened

between them in that room.

When Sally saw the last few words of the message, she was so angry that she wanted to block this

sender forever.

But she didn’t dare.

After taking a deep breath, she replied.

“Sally Hale: Leo has agreed to marry me. He will go through the divorce procedures with Madison this

afternoon.”

The other party suddenly stopped sending lecherous messages.

Instead, he sent a congratulatory message.

A smile finally appeared on Sally’s face, but it froze immediately as she read the next

message.

“C: I hope you can successfully register your marriage and hold a wedding. Otherwise… you know.
