On the second floor of the banquet hall, Leo stood by the railing, looking down at everything with an expressionless face.
"Hey Leo, what are you staring at over there?" Cullen was always interested in beauties and banquets. Unfortunately, more old men were looking for him to talk business than beautiful women since he just returned to the country. He had just managed to break free.
But then again, if it weren't for the huge T-shaped platform in front, Cullen wouldn't know if it was a fashion banquet or something else. He walked up to Leo with a glass of wine and patted him on the shoulder, sighing softly. "Good job, man, standing here with a sour face. No one dares to come near you. Unlike me, I get bothered wherever I go."
Leo coldly pushed his hand away. "Back off."
"Why are you so angry? You didn't find Sylvia, so you are standing here with a poker face, right?" Cullen didn't stop talking. Following Leo's gaze, he suddenly saw a familiar figure. He tapped the railing, his eyes widening in surprise. "Hey, isn't that my wife? Who's that man next to her?"
Leo shot Cullen a cold glance. Cullen immediately corrected himself. "Your wife! Your wife!"
Leo's gaze returned to Madison's departing figure. He stood there without saying a word, and nobody could tell what he was thinking.
Cullen finally recognized the man Madison was with. He clicked his tongue, making a confused sound. "How does Jessica know the eldest son of the Smith family, and their relationship seems better than that between you two."
Leo's gaze turned cold once again. He said, "Caius Smith, the CEO of Quantum Dynamics, is the live-in son-in-law of the Daves family. They refer to the twins as 'Ethan Smith' and 'Samuel Smith' while outsiders call Samuel 'Mr. Smith.' But on the birth certificate, their last name is still Daves. Joe is their cousin."
Cullen met Joe and Madison at Opal Heights Bar, so it made sense that Madison would know Samuel too. As for the last name, Cullen didn't dwell on it.
The Daves family had always been low-key, and their descendants were all talented. Joe ran an entertainment company, and Ethan was a popular esports star. These were the reasons the Daves family's background was exposed. As for the other descendants, most people didn't even know their names.
Cullen suddenly thought of something and turned to Leo. "Hey Leo, do you remember the last time the Daves family donated 100 million dollars to assist the police because their youngest daughter was brought back? Do you think Jessica might be the Daves family's daughter?"
If that were the case, she would be way out of the Wilkinson family's league. Even the Palmer family would be considered inferior. A few years ago, the Palmer family could compare themselves to the Daves family. However, the Daves family's descendants have been making lots of money recently. However, apart from Leo, the Palmer family's current generation was isolated and outnumbered.
Cullen's speculation was met with a few seconds of silence before Leo quickly denied it. "No," he said decisively.
"How do you know? The Daves family members are so attentive to Jessica." Cullen looked at him. "And I heard that the Daves family's daughter is called... Jessica Daves. Don't you think it sounds a little familiar?"
Leo looked at Cullen as if Cullen were an idiot. "The name 'Madison' was chosen by my grandfather. If she is the Daves family's daughter, she wouldn't change it, nor would she need to. Jessica is a plain name, and anyone can come up with it."
When Leo said the name, there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.
