Above the probing question was a photo Joe posted.
It was the scene at Rose Garden where he asked Madison to help apply ointment on him but nobody replied.
After this question was posted, echoes of agreement came one after another.
Antoine texted, [Joe, let's put the bar incident aside for now. She's an adult, and there's nothing wrong with her having fun. However, it is your fault for allowing the media to report about her without restraint. Online opinions are complex. Not to mention that the Hale family has a specialized team to do such things. Putting Jessica in the most contentious point of a situation is bad.]
Ethan texted, [Alright, brothers. Our younger brother has handled the online news well. Joe, do some proper self-reflection. When I reach Sidovor City, I hope you'll relinquish your position as soon as possible!]
Samuel texted, [The man dancing with her is Leo's friend, who has been looking into her information lately. Although he hasn't found anything, I suspect he knows her curriculum vitae is false. Joe, please pay attention during this time.]
Jason texted, [I can control aunt's condition here. If she is willing, she can temporarily come back to Rozalia.]
Joe did not dare to reply anything. He did not even dare to look at his phone.
When he took Madison to the bar, he did consider that such a day might come. It was just that he did not expect it to arrive so soon.
But now, besides backing down, there was no other way out.
He unlocked his phone. As he saw the message sent by Samuel, his black eyes turned slightly serious.
When Madison was informed about the news, she was calm.
Without lifting her head, she continued working on the drawings on the blueprint. "I know," she said. "He won't be able to find out anything."
She thought, 'He may find some clues, but he won't get any concrete information unless I make it public. Cullen's skills don't match up to Samuel's. However...'
Madison suddenly put down her pencil and raised her eyes to look at Joe. "Joe, my divorce certificate hasn't been delivered yet, huh?" she asked.
As Madison brought this up, Joe got angry. "Nope," he said ."It hasn't been delivered."
He thought, 'This scumbag drove Jessica away during their marriage, and he's dragging his feet during divorce. The Daves family is waiting for the birth certificate to be sorted out. We'll then bring Jessica back so she has nothing to do with this place anymore. Damn scum!'
Madison frowned as well upon hearing those words.
She thought, 'Logically speaking, Leo shouldn't be dragging this out for so long. He is impatient with this marriage in the first place. What's more, Sally is still waiting to be with him. Even though the Rose Garden incident impacted Sally, Leo stepped forward and suppressed all negative news. He even used Sally's post, which was filled with a great sense of angelic bitchiness, to whitewash her image. This shows that Leo doesn't care about what kind of a person Sally is. He should be eager to get divorced and quickly marry his beloved. What's with the hold-up then?'
"Do you want me to call him to ask?" Joe said as he approached Madison.
"It's okay," Madison said.
Madison picked up the pencil again and continued sketching on the blank paper.
"He'll find a way to come looking for me," she said.
Half a month later, Morris hurriedly entered the CEO's office at Palmer Group with a document. "Mr. Palmer, I've found information about Sylvia, the designer."
After the contract between M&L Studio and Palmer Group expired, there was no further information except that they would be collaborating with XR Entertainment.
Not only was Palmer Group unable to contact the designer, but those companies that intended to poach Sylvia upon hearing the news could not locate her either.
Even XR Entertainment, which had some clues about Sylvia's whereabouts, did not have any rumors leaked. This caused many people to mock XR Entertainment.
Leo lifted his head from a pile of documents halfway through his work, which was unusual for him. "Shoot," he said.
Morris placed the document onto the desk and said, "This is the invitation for Fanny's fashion gala this year. It's usually held abroad, but upon hearing that Sylvia is in Sidovor City this time, she changed the location specifically."
The implication was that Sylvia would appear at this fashion gala.
The gala was the opportune moment for any company which wants to collaborate with M&L Studio.
