My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise novel Chapter 29

"For the customers whose dining reservations were affected by today's closure, you can visit Rose Garden any day in the future with your reservation voucher," Madison said. "In addition, you'll receive three dishes of your choice on the house.

"Tasting food is a very subjective experience. At Rose Garden, we respect our diners' preferences. If it's not suitable, you are free to choose other cuisines or visit other restaurants. We at Rose Garden won't claim to satisfy every diner, but we have confidence in our dishes.

"Finally, Rose Garden's closure comes to an end now. Tonight's business hours remain the same as usual. The guests with tonight's dinner reservation can come now or arrange for another time at your convenience. To all visiting diners as well as guests who are here, please travel safely. We hope to explore more delightful cuisines together with you in the future. Thank you!"

She was sincere, but at that moment, no one in the livestream was paying any attention to what she was saying.

The livestream and the entire internet were flooded with comments like "Wifey, you're right!" or similar phrases. After listening briefly, it only reinforced the notion of her being beautiful and kind-hearted.

Only the fans onsite and were famished knew how mean Madison was, especially when waves of delicious food smell wafted from the kitchen.

Those fans thought, 'So, we've been squatting here all day, and we can't even get a meal? The restaurant has been closed for a whole day, so why bother about the customers who made reservations? Isn't it good to fleece the people holding the signs at the door who have affected their business? Charging a high price is fine with us too!'

But Madison would not do that.

She thought, 'On what basis should they be allowed to feel justified in enjoying a good meal after disrupting someone's business? How many people have to wait a whole month for a reservation at Rose Garden? If they manage to immediately dine at Rose Garden after causing a scene here, will Rose Garden still be in business in the future? Rules are set and shouldn't be broken, especially not for a group of people that causes trouble!'

As soon as "thank you" was said, Madison walked straight into the restaurant, paying no attention to the expressions of the group of people before her.

Her spontaneous and unrestrained demeanor as she took her leave increased the crowd's fascination with her. The level of excitement in the livestream room did not diminish even after Rose Garden announced its clarification. Instead, it peaked the moment Madison turned away.

At Opal Heights Bar, Leo finished off yet another bottle of liquor.

His expression was grim. His black eyes stared intently at the phone screen, and his gaze did not shift even when he took his drink.

He thought, 'Wifey? She's my wife! These people have only seen her once online. On what basis should they call her wifey?'

He suddenly threw the empty glass heavily onto the table.

Cullen, who was looking at the phone in his hands, was startled. He jumped up from the sofa and said, "You've drunk too much alcohol, huh?"

Leo did not even lift his eyes.

At this point, the live broadcast had ended. However, the media was still replaying it to capitalize on the hype. They even took specific scenes involving her and edited them to generate discussion.

Cullen glanced over and could not help but sigh softly. "You are being jealous because the public has snatched your wife away, huh?" he said.

He squeezed over, sat beside Leo, and patted his shoulder.

"Get lost," Leo said.

Filled with disdain, he extended his leg and kicked Cullen.

He thought, 'Ridiculous. Why would I feel jealous because of Madison?'

Cullen was not irritated. He cheerfully poured Leo a glass of drink. "If you're not angry, why the long face?" he said. "Don't tell me it's because of Sally."

Just mentioning Sally made Cullen annoyed.

He thought, 'I don't know what kind of bewitching drink that woman gave Leo. She causes him to have a poor sense of judgment.'

Leo stopped using his phone and casually tossed it aside. With a cold expression, he took the glass of alcohol, raised his head, and downed it. Then, he said, "What is the progress of your investigation on the thing I asked you to look into the other day?"

Cullen was bending over to get a drink for himself. Upon hearing that, the movement of his hand paused.

He caressed the rim of the alcohol glass with his fingertips for two seconds before pouring in the cold liquid.

"To be honest, I didn't find anything," Cullen said. "It's similar to the information you previously investigated. Besides studying while she was abroad, she worked part-time to earn money. It's a pretty ordinary curriculum vitae."
