Chapter 18
“The lost heiress of the wealthy Daves family in Rozalia has been found after over twenty years, and
they are donating 100 million dors. Wow! The Daves family is extremely generous!” Cynthia
eximed.
On the other side of the private room at Rose Garden, Sally’s good friend, Cynthia Watson, was
browsing popr news on her phone. “Speaking of which, your family just kicked that person out, and
now the Daves family officially announces the return of their daughter. Could they be the same
person?” she asked.
“How is that possible!” Sally immediately denied it and gave Cynthia a disdainful look. “You saw it
yesterday. That bi tch Madison only knows those lousy hooligans! If she were the Daves family’s
daughter, they would probably think it’s bad luck!”
“That is true.” Thinking about it, Cynthia looked disgusted as well. “She grew up with you. How can she
be so shameless and hang out with those lowlifes? She’s bringing
shame to herself!”
Sally told her, “Forget about her. Let’s look at the menu.”
She flipped through the menu. “I heard Mr. Hond, the head chef, is cooking today. It’s a rare asion
that happens maybe once a month.”
Cynthia smiled and fawned over Sally. “Really? It’s all because of you that I get toe here for a
meal, Sally! If we were toe to Rose Garden for a meal, we’d have to reserve a month in advance
otherwise.”
“I made the reservation under Leo’s name too. I can’t take credit for it.” Even though she said that,
Sally looked proud.
After checking the news on her phone, she ced her order and couldn’t help but express her disdain.
“Jessica Daves. What a tacky name. She sounded like a nouveau riche!”
nche was still shocked by the news she had seen.
Her fingers, which were holding the fork, trembled. She asked, “Do you want to sign an artist like me,
Mr. Daves? Even if I have a pretty face, do you believe those scandals are baseless? rifying them
would be a considerable cost, and not everyone may buy it.”
One of the reasons nche didn’t want to agree was the fear of implicating XR Entertainment. After all,
her current situation was ultimately caused by Sally.
Sally had the support of the Palmer family, which, despite XR Entertainment’s rapid development,
couldn’t match the Palmer family’s influence in Sidovor City.
nche didn’t want to cause trouble for others because of herself.
But if Joe was the son of the Daves family from Rozalia… Suddenly, she wanted to give it a try
because the Daves family had the power to rival the Palmer family.
However, this thought felt somewhat despicable, and nche couldn’t help but speak her mind.
After listening to her, Joe couldn’t help butugh.
He said, “Because of the Palmer family, you will give up opportunities to start anew again and again?
Miss Malone, forgive my bluntness, but your approach is foolish. Setting aside whether Leo is willing to
target you to pursue Sally, even if he does, can your situation get any worse than it is now?”
nche was shaken. Could her situation get any worse than it already was?
The worst thing that could happen to her would be leaving the entertainment circle, being forced into an
arranged marriage by her family, and bing a sacrifice.
How was her current situation any different from leaving the industry?
Since she lost her role to Sally, nche did not receive work since, and she continued to face constant
abuse online.
Madison fell silent at Joe’s words.
‘Pursuing Sally… She scoffed inwardly at that thought.
It wasn’t impossible. After all, Leo had opened an entertainmentpany just for Sally and signed only
her.
He also used various means to eliminate Sally’spetitors and spent money to package her into a
beautiful goddess. What else wasn’t possible?
Madison smiled faintly and said, “Miss nche’s consideration is not unreasonable. If I were you, I
would be thinking if you want to use me as a pawn.”

Joe immediately turned his head and red at her. “You brat, are you talking nonsense again? Do you
think I am that kind of person?
nche reacted a bit slowly but understood. She chuckled. “If you are using me as a pawn, that makes
things easier. I’m willing to sign on then.”
Both Madison and Joe looked at her.
nche exined, “They say the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I happen to have a grudge against
Sally. If you want to use me as a pawn, I’m more than willing to do that!
It’s just… whether you decide on me is uncertain.”
says about
“nche, what are you talking about? I was just joking. Joe means what he signing you on. He’s a
serious businessman. It has nothing to do with other stuff,” Madison quickly exined.
Joe clicked his tongue and admonished lightly, “Why are you talking about me like
that?”
But he didn’t have that intention. Using a young girl as a pawn was a bit much.
He wanted to sign nche on initially because she spoke up for his sister, and he wanted to help her
out. Later, after he investigated her in the industry, he thought it seemed like a good deal.
As for whether nche agreed or not, that was her business.
The only unexpected thing to him was that the situation turned out to be soplicated.
During a lull in their conversation, a knock came from the door of the private room. and then several
food were delivered.
As the table in the private room wasn’t big enough to ce all the food on it, the food ended up being
held by beautiful women wearing pper dresses, standing in two rows.
When thest dish was brought in, a person with slightly white hair at his temples and wearing chef’s
clothes hurriedly rushed in. “Madison,e on. Please hurry up and try the dishes I recently
developed. Is there anything that needs improvement?”
The room fell silent, leaving only the sound of breathing.
It turned out that the oldest person in the room was the head chef. Why was he asking for Madison’s
opinion so humbly?
A silence filled the room, with no one speaking.
Greg became anxious. He took the nearest te and approached Madison. “Madison, just take a bite.
It’s not much, so it won’t be wasting food.”
Madison cleared her throat and nced at him. “I’ve told you before. There’s no need for you to be so
courteous outside!”
Greg scratched his head and grinned. “I forgot. I forgot. I’ll remember next time. Why don’t you try the
food first?”
Fortunately, everyone in the room was familiar with each other, and all of them worked at Rose Garden.
Mon, 22
As for nche, Madison had no intention of hiding it from her. But not hiding it didn’t mean nche
wouldn’t be surprised.
nche’s jaw dropped in astonishment. Who could have thought that the heir to the imperial chef,
Greg, was so respectful to Madison?
nche heard before that the students in the Hond family were ranked based on culinary talent,
regardless of age or the time of apprenticeship. But hearing the heir of the Hond family, who was a
whole lot older, speaking to Madison so respectfully was beyond anyone’s imagination.
Seeing Madison take a bite and put down the fork, Greg eagerly asked, “Madison, how does it taste?”
Madison chewed the food patiently. After a moment, she nodded andmented, “Not bad, but there’s
room for improvement. Is this a new dish that you developed?”
Greg exined, “Yes. This is a new dish. The kitchen staff all say it’s delicious. I heard. you were
Madison wiped her hands and smiled. “Why are you in such a rush? I won’t be leaving. immediately
this time. I might have to work in your restaurant for a while. Is there h o ce for me?”
Greg gushed immediately, “Madison, where are you saying? If you want toe work here, Rose
Garden will definitely…
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a chef rushing in from outside. “Greg, something
bad happened! The guests in the private room across are causing amotion!”
Greg’s face changed instantly, bing serious. “Which troublemaker dares to cause trouble in my
ce? Kick them out! We won’t serve them again!”
The chef looked troubled as he told Greg. “It’s Miss Sally, the daughter of the Hale family. She’s a big
star. She used Mr. Palmer’s name when she came here. We…
