Chapter 113
As if the taste of a particr moment from his memory ovepped,pelling him to grasp at fleeting
memories that shed before him.
However, when Leo took another bite, his mouth was left only with the lingering sweetness, sweet yet
not cloying, truly a delightful taste.
Perhaps wanting to rediscover the vors hidden within his memories, Leo wanted to reach for another
piece. However, just as his hand extended, with a swift motion, Amber abruptly pushed back.
“Madison made this for me. Giving you a piece was already a favor to you. How dare you shamelessly
try to take more!”
Leo lifted his gaze for a moment to nce at Madison.
Thetter simply smiled faintly, sipping from her water ss, not willing to utter a single word to help
him out.
Just like his mother, she didn’t want to see him.
Leo, unfazed, quietly withdrew his hand, taking a tissue to lightly wipe his fingertips.
“I’ll head upstairs first. You guys continue talking.”
He went straight back without taking his phone that was ced on the coffee table.
Amber looked at his proud figure and snorted coldly, “What a nuisance, seeing him just
annoys me.’
Madison didn’t have much to say either.
Even before returning to the country, Leo had a strained rtionship with his family, especially with
Amber. Now, with three years of absence from the country, she was unaware of their current situation.
Even if she wanted to mend the rtionship between mother and son, she could do nothing.
Moreover, she was in no ce to be concerned about other people’s family matters.
She sat obediently as Amber suddenly turned around, her voice softeningpletely.
“Madison, I heard that at the Hale family dinner the night before yesterday, youpletely cleared
things up with them. Is that right?”
Madison did not expect Amber to bring this topic up so suddenly.
She had thought the topic would be brought up right after arriving at the Palmer
family. Since it hadn’t been mentioned during dinner, she assumed that the matter had passed.
However, this matter had already circted within the circle, and Cullen was well aware of it. As the
She was even aware of Sally’s suicide, let alone this minor matter.
Without denying it, Madison nodded, speaking truthfully,
“Technically, it should have been resolved during Sally’sst birthday. I hesitated because some
belongings of mine were still with the Hale family. Besides, I did grow up under their care, so it’s better
to settle any outstanding ounts. I’d rather not have the Hale family sticking to me like a band-aid.
Clinging onto me is fine, but incessantly hounding my brother is not eptable.
“I have always felt that their entire family was inadequate. If it weren’t for a favor granted to us by the
Hale family and Edgar being grateful and loyal, we would have severed ties with the Hale family long
ago!”
Amber was furious, yet she turned tofort Madison.
“It’s better the ties are severed. Consider it spending money to rid ourselves of troubles. There will be
no further contact with them in the future!”
Madison nodded and softly uttered, “That’s exactly what my brother meant.”
Therefore, she didn’t think she was losing out by paying the Hale family 1.6 million. dors to buy off
their future harassment.
It was a pity that she couldn’t buy back the things Edgar had given her in the past. Madison knew that
Sally had taken them, but she had no idea where they had ended
up.
Anyway, she had also left some important things with the Palmer family. Still, it was a pity.
As she was sighing, Madison’s hand was suddenly pulled by Amber. Amber’s voice lowered again in
her ear. “Madison, I heard that the Hale family not only took your things, but they also beat you up. Is
that true?”
Madison was silent for a few seconds and then nodded slightly.
These people from the Hale family, where do they get the nerve to do that!”
Amber’s eyes suddenly shed with anger.
Madisonforted Amber, “It’s all in the past now, and I’ll have a family in the future. I’ve already cut
ties with the Hale family, so let’s just let bygones be bygones.”
John and herself have already discussed it. As long as the Hale family would not cause any more
trouble in the future, they would forgive past grudges as repayment for raising the two of them.
If they still would not let her go, then they could not me the Daves family if they interfered in Sidovor
City.
Amber was furious. She looked at Madison with even more pity in her eyes. “You’re such a good child,
trying tofort me. The Hale family is heartless. I don’t know what Leo, that nuisance, is thinking. If it
weren’t for the fact that Palmer’s men all died early, thispany would never have been handed over
to him so early. It would be better to donate it to charity than to support the Hale family!”
Although she was not involved in thepany’s affairs now, it did not mean she was not aware of
anything.
In recent times, the Palmer Group experienced rapid growth under the leadership of Leo. They
coborated extensively with the Hale family on numerous projects. It’s reasonable to assert that the
current scale of the Hale family’s presence in Sidovor City would have been unattainable without the
support of the Palmer family.
As soon as the Palmer family withdrew its investment, thepany would copse.
As Amber thought to herself, she became even more determined that Leo should not marry Sally.
Never!
She thought about it, and her grip on Madison’s hand tightened a little.
“Madison, do you really not like that brat anymore? You’ve indeed suffered a lot in the past three years
abroad, but I remember you were happy when you married him. Are you really going to get a divorce?”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Madison subconsciously wanted to pull her hand away from
Amber’s.
She managed to hold back and just smiled. “Amber, you know that feelings can’t be forced. When I got
married, I was young and barely of legal age. Now my experiences. are different. Likes and loves can’t
always be the top priority. Whether I like or don’t like something doesn’t matter.”
She spoke delicately, but her refusal was firm.

They were all so old now. They really shouldn’t be talking about things like romance.
In this world, the most important thing was emotion, and the most useless thing wast also emotion.
In the future, she would put her family first.
Π
As for love between men and women, she had buried her most beautiful love. Even if she fell in love
with someone else in the future, she would probably think of this tiring experience first.
Amber’s expression wasplex. “That brat really has no chance? If hees back. changed?”
Madisonughed even harder. “Amber, you’re wrong. I was the one who never got a chance, not that
he didn’t have one.”
From a young age, she was always trailing behind, watching Leo from the back.
And yet, she gave him a chance.
Even if he turned around, she was tired and did not want to continue anymore.
She smiled, her gaze indifferent. “If Leo turns around, I’ll turn around too.”
Amber’s heart sank to the very bottom.
Madison spoke clearly, and she could tell from Amber’s expression that she understood.
Not wanting to talk anymore, she stood up. “Amber, it’s gettingte. Let’s go get some
rest.”
Amber sighed softly, then got up from the sofa. “Well, well, it seems the Palmer family is not fortunate
enough for this.”
“The younger generation has its own blessings. Amber you don’t need to worry too much about Mr.
Palmer. Even if it’s not Miss Hale, Mr. Palmer will surely meet someone good in the future.”

Now that everything had been said, she no longer needed to pretend in front of Amber. She directly
addressed Leo as Mr. Palmer.
It can be said that everything had been settled.
Amber sighed in resignation. “Madison, are you serious? You don’t have any feelings for Leo anymore?
You used to love him so much, you were always clinging to him…”
“Amber.”
Before Amber could say anything else, Madison softly interrupted her, and the emotions in her eyes
gradually turned cold.
