Chapter 130
Morris hugged the snacks in his arms and fell silent.
He wanted to say something but hesitated. He looked up at Cullen and realized he was holding a tablet
phone. He looked like he was facing off with someone.
After a long silence, Morris felt that as an employee of Palmer Group, he had to think about the
After all, if thepany’s profits decreased, his bonus would probably not be able to increase.
Just as he was about to persuade Cullen, the door of the lounge was suddenly pushed
open.
The man who came out looked impatient and a little tired. It was obvious that he was angry because he
had not rested well due to the disturbance.
“What’s so noisy?”
Leo frowned and nced at the two of them. His deep voice was still a little h o ar se.
As he asked, he buttoned up his cufflinks and walked towards his desk. He picked up the ss of
water on the table and took a sip. The displeasure on his face remained.
Morris nced at Cullen first. Seeing that Cullen’s attention was all on his phone, he thought for a
moment and took the initiative to repeat what he had said to Cullen to Leo, wanting to ask for a specific
n.
Leo did not say anything and picked up his phone.
He didn’t click on it. Just looking at the two explosive topics had given him a headache.
He threw his phone away and pressed his throbbing temples. “Take down all the trending topics. Let
the Public Rtions Department handle the specific public rtions strategy. prioritize the interests of
thepany and Sally, and ignore the
others.”
In other words, it did not matter even if they hired paid posters to smear Antoine and Madison.
Morris looked at Leo in surprise.
Leo raised his gaze, looking extremely impatient. “Any other questions?”
Morris shook his head, “No, I’ll deal with it immediately. Mr. Palmer, don’t worry!”
HI
Leo nodded. Just as he was about to let Morris out, his gazended on the takeaway box
in his arms.
“What are you carrying?”
His tone carried a hint of disdain.
Morris was about to turn around when he heard this. He paused and hesitated for a moment before
telling the truth.
“It’s some pastries made by Miss Madison. Didn’t you ask me to sign the contract with Miss Madison
this morning? She gave me some and asked me to distribute them to my colleagues in the office. I was
in such a hurry when I saw what happened online that I forgot to put them down.”
Leo looked at him for a while.
Morris could not guess what his boss was thinking. He stood there nervously, not daring
to move.
After a while, Leo lowered his gaze and said, “You can go.”
When Morris heard this, he felt a little relieved. He hugged the box and turned around.
“Mr. Walton.”
The man on the sofa stopped him.
Raising his chin, Cullen narrowed his eyes and smiled. “Didn’t Jessica say that you have to distribute it
to your colleagues in the office? Am I not considered a member of the office?”
“My apologies, Mr. Wilkinson, I forgot about you. I’m sorry!”
Morris hurriedly put down one box. Seeing that Cullen was still smiling, he put down another box.
These boxes were still not enough, so he could only put down two more boxes.
Only then was Cullen satisfied. “You can go now and share them with your colleagues. outside. You’ve
had a tiring day.”
Morris responded and quickly fled away.
There were four boxes of pastries on the table, each elegantly packaged in the antique style
characteristic of the Rose Garden. It didn’t look like typical takeout; instead, it resembled a special
gift’set.
07:44 Wed, 31 Janu.
Cullen did not hold back and opened all four boxes.
Not only that, he even took out his phone and took a photo to send to Madison.
At the same time, he muttered, “Jessica, your hands are so skillful. Look at these pastries. They look
so beautiful. I don’t even dare to eat them!”
As he sent the photo, he had already picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.
Not only did he eat it, but he also made a despicable sound of satisfaction.
The man at the desk finally couldn’t take it anymore.
He looked up and said impatiently, “If you don’t want to stay here, go back to the Wilkinson family in

Aeng City. Don’t act recklessly just because of your mother’s rtionship with the Palmer family.”
His tone was clearly filled with anger.
However, Cullen was still biting on the snack and smiled slyly. “Who said I’m relying on my mom’s
rtionship? I’m clearly relying on our rtionship!”
Leo looked at him coldly.
Cullen did not continue to be provocative.
He pped his hands, took a step back, and said, “Alright, alright, I won’t eat anymore. If you have
anything else, just let me know!”
Leo nced at the four boxes of pastries on the table and recalled the taste he had tasted at the old
residence that night.
It was familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had tasted it before.
This thought lingered for only a few seconds before Leo waved it away.
He retracted his gaze and said calmly, “Cullen, I know you’re feeling indignant on Madison’s behalf, but
I hope you can understand that I’m the one who’s going to get married, not you. Just because you like
someone doesn’t mean I have to like her too.”
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered what Madison had said to his mother that morning. His brow
furrowed, and a fire ignited in his heart.
Cullen did not notice his unusual reaction and made a gesture.
“Okay, I understand. You don’t want to marry Jessica. No one is happy when their marriage is
arranged. But Leo, what’s going on between you and that girl from the Hale
family? In the past, maybe you were blind, and she put up a good act. But now, with the evidence right
in front of you, are you still going to marry her?”
Cullen’s tone was also unusually serious. It could even be said that he was questioning Leo.
He couldn’t figure it out.
He was not in the Hale family that night, but as far as he knew, Leo had witnessed the entire incident
and even spoke up to help Madison. It could be said that Sally’s true. nature had been revealed by Leo.
This was also what Cullen could not understand. Why did he still want to marry her?
“You married Jessica because you were forced to, but what about Sally? Isn’t that also putting your
marriage at stake?”
The office was deathly silent.
After a while, Leo said in a deep voice. “Since it’s my marriage, I know what I’m doing.”
Cullen smiled. “Don’t tell me you still think that girl from the Hale family has some kind of me ntal
illness? Fine, even if it’s because of some so-called condition, does that mean it’s eptable for her to
hit and curse people at will? Leo, when did you start being unable to distinguish right from wrong? Just
because of a promise made a few years ago, you’re willing to sacrifice yourself?”
Leo lowered his eyes.
He held the pen in his hand the entire time, his face expressionless.
However, if one got closer, they would be able to see the bulging veins on the back of his hand.
He put down his
pen
and looked up at Cullen.
“I have an illness too. I even took medicine in front of you an hour ago. I married her not only because
of my promise to Sally a few years ago, but also because of my own promise.”
“As for her behavior, I will guarantee that this will not happen again. I have also given Madison suitable
“Just think of me as a l unatic marrying another lu n atic, pitying each other.”
As he spoke, he lowered his eyes again.
“Lco…
A hint of pity appeared in Cullen’s eyes.
E
Leo picked up the pen again. “It’s fine if you don’t ept her. I’ll try my best to prevent you guys from
meeting her in the future. If you don’t want to acknowledge her, don’t have to consider her as my wife.”
Cullen knew that this matter could not be resolved, but he was still angry.

“Then how are you going to deal with your mom? Even if I don’t want to ept that woman, will she
acknowledge her as part of the Palmer family?”
Leo’s expression did not change. The tip of the pennded on the
paper.
“I’ll just acknowledge her as my wife.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned.
The words “Madison’ were written on the paper.
