Chapter 140
Morris was stunned. He did not expect Leo to suddenly ask about Madison’s current situation.
Wasn’t he talking about crisis public rtions now?
However, he did not dare to ask further and said truthfully, “I’ve already handed it to her. She was
originally unwilling to ept RN’s shares. but after I gave some exnation, she signed the papers.”
Leo nodded without any displeasure. “It’s right to persuade her to sign it. After all, she’s alone.
Although she found her family, she hasn’t grown up in the Daves family for so many years. Who knows
if they will treat her as an outsider.”
With money by her side, regardless of whether her family was sincere or not, he could at least ensure
that she would not have to worry about the rest of her life.
“Is there anything else? If not, then go back to your work.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Leo looked up at Morris. He hadpletely forgotten what Morris
hade in to report.
Meanwhile, Morris standing across from him, was also momentarily stunned. He almost didn’t realize it
and shook his head before leaving.
Fortunately, his brain didn’t follow his body’s instinct to leave but retained some rationality.
He opened the tablet and showed it to Leo. “This is the public opinion that started to fermentst night.
I don’t know who exposed it on the anonymous forum, but almost the entire Inte is exposing Miss
Hale’s scandal.”
Leo took it expressionlessly and clicked on the screenshots, looking through them roughly.
Seeing no sign of impatience on Leo’s face, Morris continued, “It has started to impact Palmer Group,
so I thought of showing it to you to discuss how to handle the impact.”
In the past, Palmer Group had helped Sally resolve such issues many times. However, they were
usually trivial matters. Leo couldn’t be bothered to deal with it himself and just instructed them to settle
the matters with money.
But this time was different. Detention was a matter ofw.
Nowadays, the entertainment industry was already very strict. Artists who had lost their morals were
strictly prohibited from appearing on screen. Once confirmed, it would
mean that Sally’s career waspletely ruined.
Moreover, it was not just her alone this time. Due to the high-profile announcement that she was about
to marry the CEO of Palmer Group and be Mrs. Palmer, many people were eyeing Palmer Group.
Once Sally’s detention was confirmed, many people would definitely ask Leo why he would marry such
a woman.
Reputation might not be important to ordinary people, but to celebrities in the entertainment industry

and the leaders ofrgepanies, it could affect many things.
Regarding Sally’s matter, Morris was actually somewhat pleased to see her scandals exposed.
However, it involved thepany’s image, so he had to consider her situation on behalf of the
“What’s her team’s n?”
Leo only took a nce and roughly understood what had happened.
He was one of the people involved in the incident that night. He even contributed to Sally being able to
enter the detention center. It was already considered slow for news to only spread today.
After all, Sally was quite famous in the entertainment industry. Even though those in the upper ss
circle rted to her interests might have kept quiet, the fact that she entered the detention center
meant that more than just people within this circle knew
about it.
Everyone had the heart of gossip. No one could guarantee that no third person would know about it.
It could only be said that the dy in gaining attention until now, and the attention was even quite high,
had one reason. Money was in ce.
The only difference was that one wanted to block the spread of the news, while the other spent money
to let the news spread.
“Miss Hale’s studio is still trying their best to suppress the attention and use anonymity and
unsubstantiated words to distract us.”
Morris briefly exined what he knew. Actually, he did not know much. After all, it was not within his
responsibility.
Leo chuckled and said disdainfully.
He pushed the tablet in his hand to Morris and instructed in a low voice, “Tell their team to ignore the
public opinion on the Inte for the time being. Letizens make a fuss however they want, just don’t
respond.”
“Huh?” Morris was stunned.
Leo looked up. “You don’t understand?”
Morris shook his head with a conflicted expression. “I understand, but if they don’t respond, wouldn’t
they be tacitly acknowledging these…”
Even if they do not reply, how could it be considered an implicit acknowledgment when it was already a
fact?
Once they denied it, the bacsh would be even greater if it was exposed one day.
Moreover, the heated discussion of these screenshots was clearly fueled by someone behind the
scenes. It was very likely that they were waiting for them to deny it.
As for the person behind this, it could be someone Sally had offended in the entertainment industry and
wanted to use this opportunity to bring her down. It could also be a wealthy family in the upper-ss
circle that did not get along with the Hale family. Of course, it could also be Madison and her brothers.
Leo did not want to waste any more time on this matter. Without overthinking or providing exnations,
he directly issued orders.
“Tell them not to interfere and don’t respond to any messages. If necessary, just have their team take a
break”
“Alright.”
Morris did not ask further and nodded in response.
He went forward and took the reporting tablet. Just as he was about to leave, he asked worriedly, “But
Mr. Palmer, what about the public opinion regarding ourpany?”
Not only were there implications for Sally, but the post that Leo personally published also caused a lot
of controversy, causing many employees to leave their jobs in the past two days.
However, Leo did not take this matter to heart. “Just let the Public Rtions
Department work normally. At most, it willst for another week. Thepany’s impact won’t be
significant. Additionally, shift your focus at work. In the future, you don’t need to pay too much attention
to less important matters with Sally. Go and coordinate with Cullen on this new project.”
As he spoke, he threw a document into Morris.
His words were like a calming pill for Morris.
After handling so many personal matters for Sally, he almost forgot that he was an employee of Palmer
Group.
The Palmer Group was apany that had been around since the generation of Edgar Palmer. It was
mainly engaged in the real economy and was still different from the current new Intepanies.
Public opinion did affect the stock market to a certain extent, but as long as there were no problems
with their products, the impact on Palmer Group would not be much.
When this period of turbulence passed, the quarterly financial report would still look good.
Morris, whether happy because his understanding was good or delighted that he could handle the new
project without having to deal with Sally, had a broad smile on his face.
He took the documents on the table and almost jumped out. “Thank you, Mr. Palmer. I’ll go and
coordinate with Mr. Wilkinson now.”
Leo did not understand why he was thanking him. He only looked up and nced at him before
lowering his eyes to deal with the documents again.
During this period, he received a message on WhatsApp.
[Mr. Palmer, are you free tomorrow? If you have time, I suggest youe for another consultation.]
Leo put down the pen in his hand and picked up his phone to reply to the message.
He had been suffering from insomnia for the past two days and could only rely on medicine to sleep. It
was definitely not possible for him to sleep like this for a long time, so he made another appointment
with a psychiatrist.
When Cullen pushed the door open and entered, he saw Leo taking his medicine. He raised his
eyebrows. “Did your fiancée upset you that you’re taking your medicine again?”
Leo did not argue with him. “I’m taking medicine because I’m unwell. If you continue to let your
personal emotions spread like this, I suggest you make an appointment with a psychiatrist too.”
“I have nothing to say to you.”
Cullen rolled his eyes and settled into his usual spot.
Leo could not be bothered with him and only nced at him indifferently.
He had the personality of not provoking others, but some people were born to be talkative.
As soon as Cullen sat down, he propped himself up with his hands and looked over at
Leo.
look so
“Leo, you and your fiancée both have psychological problems. Howe you normal while she has
gone as far as picking up a knife and stabbing someone? Did she not take her medicine?”
