“Can’t I be here?” Sally revealed an innocent expression.
Cullen didn’t want to look at her, nor did he want to talk to her. He planned to bypa ss
her and leave.
Sally stopped him. “Cullen, my family is holding a party tonight. Do you want to come tonight with Leo?”
Cullen was about to reject her when he heard her speak again. “It’s my family’s party with my sister’s
family. Although you’ve been overseas for many years, you’ve grown up with my sister. Her brother
should be very happy to have you attend it.”
Cullen narrowed his eyes and placed his hands in his pockets. “Who are you talking about? Madison?”
Sally nodded. “That’s right. I remember that the two of you used to be quite close. Didn’t you hear
about it?”
Cullen was silent for two seconds before he suddenly smiled. “Alright. Since you’ve already spoken,
how can I not go?”
Sally also smiled. “See you tonight then.”
Cullen had already walked away.
Behind him, the smile on Sally’s face gradually disappeared, leaving only a face full of
resentment..
‘What is up with that arrogance? He is just an abandoned son of the Wilkinson family. He has nothing
to be arrogant about, she thought.
She glared at his departing back angrily, fixed her expression, and turned around. Then, she walked
towards Leo’s office.
Unfortunately, before she could push open the door, someone stopped her.
“I’m sorry, Miss Hale. The CEO has instructed that everyone needs to make an appointment to see
him,” Morris explained.
Sally was stunned. “But I used to go in directly.
Morris was sweating profusely. He smiled apologetically and said, “You already said that it was in the
past.”
Leo had never given such an order in the past. After the previous incident, he had mentioned the rules.

Sally took advantage of the lapse in security to make a copy of the surveillance footage and post it
online. Who would dare to let her straight in now?
The receptionist had let Sally in on account of her being the future Mrs. Palmer, but when it came to the
CEO’s office, Morris did not dare to do so.
It was not that he sympathized with Madison, but the documents in the CEO’s office might be
confidential. There were even more so in Leo’s office.
Thinking about it, he felt a lingering fear. Last time, Sally had copied the surveillance footage and
private itinerary. What if she copied the company’s secrets the next time. and caused losses?
The boss wouldn’t do anything to his fiancée. It wasn’t the same for the employees. Not only did they
have to come up with a new proposal again, but they might even lose their bonuses.
Morris couldn’t let it go. He couldn’t let her go in like that.
Sally finally understood. When she thought of the various posts that were still scolding her online, she
began to curse in her mind.
She slowly smiled at Morris. “Then, I’ll have to trouble Mr. Walton to inform Leo that I have something
to tell him and want to go in to see him.”
Morris felt a chill run down his spine as if a snake was slowly crawling up his neck.
He nodded, ignoring the cold sweat on his forehead. “Please wait a moment.”
A moment later, he came out of the office.
‘Miss Hale, Mr. Palmer invites you in.”
The smile on Sally’s face widened. “Thank you, Mr. Walton. I’ll be seeing you around.”
With that, she walked in in her high heels.
The door closed, leaving Morris trembling.
In the office, Sally, who had just walked in, had a different smile on her face. She looked pure and
innocent, without the slightest bit of viciousness.
When Leo looked at her, he suddenly recalled what Cullen had said to him.
As he thought about it, his attitude towards Sally was indifferent. “Why are you here?”
Sally pouted. “Do you not want me to come over?”

Leo frowned. His voice was still cold. “There have been a lot of things going on in the company
recently. If there’s nothing else, try not to come over during working hours.”
Sally was stunned. She did not expect Leo to have such an attitude. “Leo, are you still angry with me
because of my sister?”
She bit her lip and carefully looked at Leo. “About last time, I…”
“What happened last time is over. There’s no need to mention it in the future.” Leo listened to her
aggrieved and pitiful voice. He did not think much of it in the past, but now, he only felt annoyed. “Why
are you here today? If not, I am busy.”
It was clear that he wanted to chase her away.
Sally was so shocked that she did not dare to be stunned anymore. She wiped the innocent and
aggrieved expression from her face and did not dare to beat around the bush.c
She said, “My mother asked me to come over. Didn’t she especially hold a party for Madison tonight?
My mother was afraid that you would forget, so she asked me to remind you.”
When Leo heard this, he frowned slightly. “For such a matter, just send a message. Moreover, since I
promised to go, I won’t go back on my word.”
Sally smiled shyly. “I also wanted to come over and see you. were busy, I wouldn’t have come.”
If I had known
that you
However, Leo was not happy with what she said. Instead, he grasped the main point. “Isn’t tonight a
family party? Why is it a party? Did you invite someone else?”
“Oh, we are inviting some other guests, Sally replied and slowly explained. “My mother said that it was
a little hurtful to chase Madison out before. She was afraid that Madison would still be angry, so she
wanted to make it more ostentatious. This also shows that Madison still has a status in our Hale family.
It’s nonsense when the outsiders say that we kicked out our adopted daughter.”
Leo was silent when he heard that. His fingers caressed the body of the pen. His face. did not reveal
any additional expression, making it impossible to guess what he was. thinking.
Sally stared at his face for a while and suddenly sighed. “Everyone says that the Hale family forced
Madison away, but Leo, we grew up together since we were teenagers. You know how the Hale family
treats my sister.
“Other than when I was sick, which part of my sister’s life isn’t the same as mine? Our family also let
her continue with her studies. Edgar wanted to see her, and our family

would also dress her up beautifully and send her over. When have we treated her badly?”
Sally lowered her head and spoke slowly as if she did not understand the rumors outside. “It’s only
because she’s been overseas for the past three years and hasn’t contacted us after changing her
number that our relationship has gradually faded. Also, Madison is probably still angry with me for what
I did wrong last time. Mom and I wanted to apologize to Madison with this party. After all, we’re family. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
How can we break things off just like that?”
“But the timing is too coincidental.” Leo put down his pen and looked up at Sally. “She just admitted her
relationship with Adonis, and you’re holding a party. Is that reasonable?”
If it was a normal family party. Madison would have brought her brother over to discuss the Hale
family’s kindness in raising her. After settling the score, the relationship could be completely severed.
Now that she had a Best Actor for her brother, Leo did not think that Madison still needed to rely on the
Hale family.
On the contrary, because of what happened at the birthday party, she probably wanted. to cut off all ties
cleanly.
At least if he was Madison, she would not want to meet the Hale family again.
Everyone was selfish. Leo was not a good person and would choose the best solution according to the
situation.
From Madison’s perspective, leaving the Hale family was the best choice.
“Leo, do you also wish for Madison to cut ties with us? But we grew up together after all. My mother
can’t bear to… Sally did not expect Leo to say it so bluntly. She was at a loss.
She had said so much because she wanted to blur the concept of tonight’s party, but in the end, it was
exposed by Leo!
It was as if her dark thoughts were exposed in front of everyone.
