My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise

Chapter 210

When Cullen arrived at the office, he was shocked when he pushed the door open.

Leo was dressed in a suit and leather shoes and seated at his desk. He stared at the phone with a smashed screen in front of him with a scraggly beard. He seemed utterly depressed.

His palm was cut, resulting in another mark on the originally healed scar. The dried blood had solidified on the wound, making it look very sinister and terrifying.

Cullen's gaze turned bewildered. He did not go to his usual seat. Cullen walked over and rapped his knuckles on Leo's table. "Leo, are you okay?"

Leo did not say anything. His deep gaze was still fixed on the broken phone in front of him.

Cullen did not know what to say either. He scratched his head and stared at Leo for a while. "Don't be too emotional because of what happened yesterday. Sally... It's not like you don't know her. You said that you're marrying Sally only because she treats you well. It is what you want. Don't be too sad about this. The company still has to depend on you."

Although Cullen felt that it was not worth it to be sad for a woman like Sally, as Leo's good friend, he could sympathize.

Moreover, it was easy for emotions to get carried away in the middle of the night. Cullen had been worried when he saw Leo's calm appearance yesterday.

As expected, something did happen after that night. However, Cullen did not expect Sally to deal Leo such a huge blow. What the hell?

As Cullen was feeling amazed, Leo suddenly spoke, "Who told you I was upset about Sally?" Leo answered Cullen's question as though he had only just heard him.

Cullen was stunned. "Isn't that so? What else could have dealt you such a blow?"

It was normal for Leo to be upset to have a video of his bride having sex with another man broadcasted at the wedding venue.

Cullen was about to advise Leo to stop being stubborn when he heard the latter speak again. What Leo said shocked Cullen.

Leo picked up the phone that had been smashed into pieces. His lips were curled into a self-deprecating smile, and his voice was cold. "It's true. I should have seen clearly what kind of woman Sally was, but I still fulfilled her requests time and time again as if I were blind. How ridiculous..."

Leo should have realized the truth the moment he saw the wounds on Madison's body.

No, it should have been earlier. He should have known when Sally copied the surveillance video from the office and posted it online to slander Madison and make Madison out to be a woman who would do anything to achieve her goals.

The trust Leo gave Sally was used by her for her schemes.

Leo allowed Sally to enter Palmer Group's building and his office, but in the end, the phone number saved on his phone was changed, and the surveillance footage was used as evidence in a war among fans. 'Why did I think that I liked Sally? Is it just because of that cake?' Leo wondered.

If Sally's approach from the beginning was a scheme, then was there a possibility that the cake was placed there by someone else and was claimed by Sally?

There was also the so-called companionship. Thinking about it carefully, Madison had spent more time with him. They grew up together. Other than when Leo was learning or training, Madison was almost always there.

Madison was the person who had been by Leo's side the longest. Even after Sally returned, Madison often appeared in various ways.

Madison came to the Palmer family to accompany his grandfather, cook for him, and take care of the flowers and plants for him... She was everywhere.

However, compared to the flamboyant and bright girl back then, the older Madison was taciturn and always liked to lower her head, making it easy for her to be overlooked.

Just because her presence was low, did her companionship not count?

Leo did not realize it at that time. When he thought about it, Madison seemed to be everywhere around him. It was not Sally who accompanied him. When had he not gone over because Sally had called him for various reasons?

It was also because of this that he kept arguing with his grandfather and ran away from home rebelliously.

Now that Leo thought about it, there was still someone silently accompanying him in those unbearable memories. When was he ever alone?

Leo had caused his own tragedy. For the sake of Sally, Leo had angered his grandfather every day. Even when he passed away in the end, Leo did not see him one last time.

How ridiculous.

Leo thought that no one could control him anymore. He thought that he was free to do what he wanted and marry the person he wanted to marry.

Leo scoffed. It was only when the wedding was held that he knew who he wanted to marry.

Leo looked at the ceiling dejectedly. He mocked himself and told Cullen everything that had happened last night and everything that had happened in recent years. "Did you know that when I saw Sally appear at the end of the red carpet in a white wedding dress at the wedding yesterday, I was thinking about the scene when Madison married me three years ago?"

It was still vivid in his mind, and Leo was still amazed when he thought about it.

However, at that time, his grandfather was seriously ill. Sally kept having breakdowns and looking for him. She called him continuously and told him that she was going to commit suicide.

Leo was mentally and physically exhausted. Other than thinking that Madison was beautiful, he didn't have the chance to say anything else.

At the wedding yesterday, Leo still thought his rationality and emotions conflicted. He kept telling himself that the person he was going to marry was Sally, that he shouldn't be thinking about the heartless person who had disappeared.

How laughable. Leo had never been able to see through his own heart.

He, Leo, was truly heartless. He was the rotten one. Everyone was right. He was a scumbag, a blind and heartless piece of trash.

Cullen silently watched his friend's emotional breakdown. His usual air of casualness was gone and he did not know what to say. Cullen looked at the broken phone on the table and suddenly understood. It was not just because Leo knew Madison's number was on the blacklist. That was just a fuse that had been buried for three years. It finally exploded the moment the truth was revealed.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

The truth tore Leo into pieces, just like what happened to his phone.

If they could contact each other in the past three years, perhaps they would not have reached this stage. But who could Leo blame?

There were many ways to meet each other, and there were opportunities to talk to each other, but both of them seemed to bear a grudge in their hearts. Both of them were holding it in, waiting for the moment they met to say, "Why didn't you come looking for me over the years?"

What was even more difficult to explain was that it was not that Leo did not turn around to look, but that someone had built a wall in front of Leo and blocked Madison outside. It was just that Leo did not know. But what could he do? There was no way to turn back time in this world.

If there was anyone to blame, it was Leo himself. Why must he hold it in instead of clarifying matters?

Leo blamed himself and hated himself.

That was how Leo ended up like this. He was dejected for the entire night and felt so regretful that his heart ached.

Leo raised his head and looked at Cullen. His words held a rare plea. "Where's Madison? Can you tell me?"
