My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise novel Chapter 25

Without a second thought, Leo immediately strode toward the center of the dance floor.

On the other side, Joe stood up from the booth he was in upon seeing what happened. His face turned pale as he moved forward.

But the next second, both of them halted simultaneously.

A loud bang could be heard. On the stage, as Cullen brushed against the hem of Madison's attire at her hip, he was suddenly thrown over her shoulder and crashed to the floor heavily.

Everyone was startled by this scene, and the place fell silent. Only the sound of the saxophone music lingered in the air, complementing the scene in a very comedic way.

Madison did not lower her head to look at the person on the floor. Instead, she glanced at Leo from a distance on the stage.

She withdrew her gaze, glanced at the person by her feet with an air of superiority, and tilted her head slightly.

"Sorry, Mr. Wilkinson," Madison said. "I'm not particularly good at loving someone and loving what that person loved by extension, but I excel at redirecting anger. Your good buddy's here. I'll leave now. Ask him to sort out the divorce proceedings as soon as possible when he is free."

Leaving these words behind, she lifted her foot, stepped over Cullen, squeezed into the crowd in her high heels, and disappeared.

Cullen held onto his waist as he got up from the ground. His immediate reaction was to look for Madison.

Unfortunately, he could not see her with so many people around. He had taken just a few steps when his line of sight was blocked.

"Please step aside," Cullen said.

Cullen pushed the person beside him without glancing to see who that person was.

"Cullen Wilkinson!"

Leo could not take it anymore and spat out his full name. "I asked you to look after her," he said. "Is this how you do it?"

Leo thought, 'His hand almost touched her...'

Leo was filled with anger thinking about the scene earlier.

Leo thought, 'Thank goodness that girl reacted quickly, or else this guy would've taken advantage of her!'

"What's wrong with me?" Cullen said. "Wasn't it just a dance with Jessica? Why are you so worked up?"

Cullen slowly withdrew his gaze from the crowd when he was certain Madison was not amidst them.

The shoulder throw made him feel like his waist had taken a hit. At this moment, his hands remained on his back, supporting it as if he were a pregnant woman.

But he was not angry. Instead, he was smiling in a silly manner.

"Tsk, I haven't seen her in so many years, and her personality is getting increasingly strong," Cullen said. "She is much more interesting than when we were kids, and all she did was follow you around. Hey, Leo, do you have Jessica's contact info? Help me. I'm determined to win her heart!"

Leo squinted and said, "Did you knock your kidney or brain? Don't forget. Madison is still my wife."

"Oh, I know, but aren't you getting a divorce?" Cullen said. "Besides, you don't treat Jessica as a wife either. If it weren't for Edgar, you wouldn't have married her."

Cullen's words exposed Leo's thoughts, rendering him speechless.

Not content with that, Cullen touched his waist and added another remark while Leo remained silent.

"I have to say," he said. "Your wife is amazing!"

Leo was at a loss for words.

Leo did not want to engage in a meaningless conversation with Cullen. He recalled the scene of Madison giving Cullen a shoulder throw.

He thought, 'She has such a petite figure, yet she managed to bring down Cullen before he touched her. Her reaction and speed aren't what she should have. At the very least, she was just a petite girl who knew nothing but to run to Grandpa to complain three years ago. When did she learn to fight?'

Leo's black eyes turned serious. He glanced at his good friend, who was savoring the beauty's mocking remarks. "The things I asked you to investigate. How much have you found out?" he asked.
