Sally didn't waste any time. After putting the online matter aside, she called Leo to talk about the wedding dress and ring.
Leo had just finished a meeting. After the meeting, one of the members of the board spoke to him about the matter.
His words were very tactful. Although the Palmer Group was a company that Edgar had started, it was not entirely a one-man company today. The company still had many shareholders and employees. Leo was reminded that his marriage was a private matter, but it should not implicate the company.
Before Leo could react, he was thinking about what Madison could do to implicate the company. She was always helping out at the Rose Garden.
Just as he was about to ask, Leo received a call from Sally. Only then did he remember that he had already divorced Madison. Moreover, the date of his wedding with Sally had been set. Naturally, Madison was not the topic of their discussion.
The member of the board also caught a glimpse of the caller ID on Leo's phone. He smiled and nodded at Leo before leaving. The expression in his eyes was obvious—he wanted Leo to deal with the behavior of Sally.
Leo was not in a hurry to answer the call. The phone rang till the call was disconnected automatically. Leo returned to his office to read the trending topics on his tablet.
At the top of the trending searches was the wedding that he was about to hold with Sally.
For some strange reason, Leo felt a little frustrated when he saw his name appear together with Sally.
However, he did not have time to think about this. His gaze was quickly attracted by the name Madison below. His fingers could not help but click on the entry.
The top post was the photo Antoine had posted. The bright smiles on everyone's faces only made Leo feel uncomfortable.
Especially Joe who was standing behind them, making a monkey face. He looked so ugly.
There were actually people who felt that Madison and Joe looked a little like each other. They looked like a very compatible couple.
Leo did not feel that they were compatible at all!
Leo was so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot. When his phone rang again, he ended the call without answering it. He clicked on the other account that he had registered to contact Sylvia and angrily pressed the thumbs-down icon.
Leo even wanted to comment using this comment that Madison and Joe were not the least compatible, but when his gaze landed on the photo, he suddenly stopped.
Leo clicked on it and enlarged the photo with his finger.
He noticed that the scar left by the sharp blade was even more obvious on her fair skin. That made Leo feel pain.
Leo spent a few minutes quickly figuring out how Madison got that scar on her neck. He had a ruthless look in his eyes.
Leo thought, 'She wanted to sever all ties with me? It didn't seem that the men beside her protected her well!'
Leo was about to search for Madison's account to question her when Sally called again.
He glanced at the caller ID and suppressed his emotions before answering the call.
The voice on the other end of the line was delicate and weak. Sally asked, "Leo, why did you pick up the phone after so long? Are you busy?"
Leo's gaze was still on the photo. He frowned as he looked at the scar.
He did not want to think what would happen if the person holding the knife had used more strength...
His frustration surged again, and even his impatience toward Sally over the phone could be heard. "What's the matter?"
However, Sally did not sense it. She thought that Leo was as indifferent as usual and went straight to the point. "Leo, the wedding dress and ring you asked Morris to send me are a little small. Can you ask him to come and collect them in the afternoon?"
She sent a message to Morris, but for some reason, ever since she mentioned Green Water Bay's house to him last time, Morris had been extremely perfunctory with her.
Hence, Sally decided to call Leo.
After all, the wedding dress and ring were important. Moreover, Sally felt that there should be more diamonds on the ring. It would be better to add a round of diamonds to it.
Leo replied indifferently, "I'll tell Morris later."
Sally was very happy to hear what Leo said. "Okay! I'll not disturb you now. I'll hang up first."
