Chapter 137
In the Palmer family residence.
After hanging up the phone, Amber rubbed her eyebrows. “That brat always causes trouble for me!”
“Madam, please calm down.”
Maya cut some fruits and said, “That’s how kids are. Besides, it’s not his fault.”
“I’m even more upset because it’s not his fault!”
“He refuses a well-arranged wife and insists on liking a woman like Sally.”
“Judging from her face, it’s obvious that she’s up to no good. Back then, Grandpa had already said that
if he married her, it would definitely cause trouble. Look, even before he married her, the Palmer
Group’s market value has dropped significantly. She’s a real disaster!”
She glanced at her phone. Among the call records, aside from the one she made to Madison, there
were several calls to Leo, but unfortunately, none were answered.
After thinking for a moment, she made another call.
“What a real troublemaker!”
Amber could not help but curse as there was still no answer.
“Mr. Palmer might be busy. Considering the quick response from the company, he’s probably dealing
with matters and hasn’t checked his phone. Besides, you’ve already helped resolve the issue for him.
There’s no rush for him to respond immediately.”
Amber listened to her advice. She rubbed her aching forehead and put down her phone.
“Leo hasn’t caused much worry except for this marriage matter. But marriage is a lifelong affair. Why is
he being so reckless?”
Thinking about the Hale family’s style and Sally’s attitude, she’s already causing trouble before
becoming part of the Hale family. If she became part of the Palmer family, who knew how much trouble
she’d bring?
She absolutely could not let such a thing happen
As she thought about it, she picked up her phone and called Leo again with a solemn expression.
Maya did not know what Amber was thinking. Judging by her actions, she assumed Amber was still
upset over Leo not answering the phone.
She smiled and advised, “Madam, don’t push Mr. Palmer so hard. What Miss Madison said two days
ago is right. Children have their own blessings. You never know, one day he might understand your Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
intentions. At this moment, he might be dissatisfied with your arrangements, so he insisted on marrying
Miss Hale. Worrying about the company’s matters is already exhausting enough for you. Why don’t you
relax a bit and leave him aside for now? He will figure it out eventually.”
Amber looked at the phone that was hung up again and closed her eyes tiredly.
Instead of calling him again, she only sighed softly. “Madison is a good girl. What a pity.”
“That’s also her misfortune, she couldn’t become your daughter-in-law.”
Although Maya had watched Madison grow up, she was still part of the Palmer family. Naturally, she
would support the Palmer family.
Amber opened her eyes, her gaze a little sad, but she did not refute Maya’s words.
Thinking of Madison’s attitude on the phone at first, she felt a sense of regret. After all, she was chosen
by Edgar and brought along with him. Madison had a strong personality. If she became part of the
Palmer family, there was no need to fear that she might sell out the Palmer family for some minor gain
in the future.
What a pity.
Maya poured warm water for Amber and gave her a calming medicine.
“Madam, don’t worry too much. Over the years, the Palmer family has taken care of Miss Madison a lot.
If she knows how to be grateful, she naturally knows what to do. Besides, if it weren’t for our family, she
might have been ruined by the Hale family long ago. She wouldn’t have the chance to reunite with her
current family. In my opinion, you still need to call and remind her to delete those posts. She’s just
insensible!”
Amber swallowed the medicine and shook her head with a smile. “You can’t say that. These things
were not her fault in the first place. Besides, no one has ever taught her these things.”
Maya disagreed. “At her age, she should be sensible even if no one taught her.”
In her view, the Palmer family had been a great benefactor to Madison. Even if she had endured some
grievances, she should prioritize the Palmer family.
“Alright, Maya. Let’s not talk about this anymore. Go do your work. I’ll rest for a while.”
After drinking the medicine, Amber felt a bit tired. She smiled helplessly when she heard Maya’s words.
When Edgar chose Madison, it wasn’t just because he liked her. The Hale family was indebted to the
Palmer family, and Sally’s character was evidently not suitable to become a daughter-in-law.
However, the older generation was stubborn. Once a commitment was made, there was no room for
turning back.
The Hale family acknowledged Sally and did not deny Madison’s status. Since that was the case, it did
not matter which girl Leo married. Needless to say, Madison was someone they had watched grow up,
and their hearts were filled with her.
Unfortunately, they were not fated to be together.
All these years, the Palmer family’s support for the Hale family was enough to repay those kindnesses.
It was fine if this marriage was dissolved. After all, her son was not lacking in female admirers. There
were even many who wanted to marry him.
She had heard that the Daves family, a wealthy family in Rozalia, found their lost daughter. The Daves
family also donated hundreds of millions on the day their daughter returned. Amber thought about
exploring whether there were any upcoming marriages in the Daves family.
As for Sally, she would never let this woman enter the Palmer family.
*****
The Public Relations Department of The Palmer Group quickly noticed when Madison deleted the post.
Soon, they took corresponding measures in response.
This post had caused Mr. Palmer’s reputation to worsen, and the Palmer Group’s market value
plummeted overnight. They had already prepared for the possibility of losing all bonuses for the year,
but they didn’t expect Mrs. Palmer to do this.
She deleted the clarification post just like that.
While they could maintain Mr. Palmer’s image on one side, there were also scandals emerging about
the future Mrs. Palmer on the other side.
After a night, the anonymous post stirred up discussions comparable to the Palmer Group’s market
value drop, and it was still a hot topic.
It wasn’t only on the social media platforms that idolized celebrities, the forum that first exposed Sally
also became popular. Many new anonymous posts appeared again, and
all of them were discussing Sally.
[The fact that Sally was detained due to legal issues is true. My husband personally participated in the
arrest. I’m not sure about the exact reason, but she was released on bail the next day and was said to
be in the hospital. The exact reasons are still unclear.]
[She entered the hospital due to a suicide attempt, right? I heard Mr. Palmer wants to marry
her because she threatened suicide. This is a clear case of forcing a marriage! The world of wealthy
families is really complicated. For a moment, I don’t know whether to pity Mr. Palmer or say that she is
too terrifying.]
[Whether it’s a forced marriage or not is debatable, but she indeed lacks manners. She stayed in the
hospital for a few days and acted like a queen. Even when we were changing her dress, she cursed
and threw things, asking people to leave. We took the money and provided medical care, but she
treated the nurses like serv ants, thinking she was some kind of ancient princess. What kind of person
does she think she is?]
[Interesting. Spill more details about her. I want to hear more!]
*****
These heated discussions on the anonymous forum were quickly reposted to other media platforms,
and soon, another wave of commotion erupted.
When Leo woke up, Morris told him about this mess.
Comparatively, Madison’s post became the smallest matter. Instead, Sally’s matter caused the Palmer
Group to be criticized.
Leo did not sleep well for the past two days. He only fell asleep after taking medicine and turning his
phone into airplane mode
He had never liked to read about things on the Internet. He felt that everyone was free to gossip on the
Internet, so he might as well focus on doing business.
He just did not expect that one day, these comments would affect the company’s business.
He frowned as he flipped through the proposal of the Public Relations Department. When his gaze
landed on a certain page, he suddenly paused.
“When did I say that?”
