My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise by Lindsay Lewis

Chapter 36

“There’s no need to insult your husband, Fan ny. That hurt me,” the man who had just entered said,

dressed in a cream-colored suit similar to Samuel’s and a pair of gold- rimmed glasses, exuding a very

refined temperament.

“Caius,” Madison smiled and greeted him as she stood up.

“Sit, there’s no need for such formality among family.” Caius gestured for Madison to sit while he sat

next to Fa nny. He opened the water bottle he brought and offered it to the person next to him.

“Have a try. You’ve been busy all evening. You must be tired,” he said.

As the lid was opened, the aroma of soup wafted from the water bottle.

However, Fan ny didn’t seem to appreciate it. “Why did you bring this here at this late hour? Do you

think I’m not fat enough? And why are you using my water bottle to hold soup? This is unbelievable!”

Her words sounded harsh, but she took the bottle and sipped from it slowly.

Caius smiled contentedly and gave Fan ny a shoulder massage. “Fat? Of course not! You’re so skinny.

You need to take care of yourself. I used the water bottle because I know you can’t drink too much, and

you think the thermos is too ugly.”

Madison, sitting on the side, silently watching their display of affection and feeling the sweetness of it.

She was also surprised to see this side of Fan ny. The “Iron Lady,” when encountering the man she

loved, could transform into a cute little girl.

Fa nny pushed Caius’ hand away, knowing that it wasn’t appropriate for them to behave intimately in

front of Madison, especially since she had been hurt by a sc um bag. “Cut it

out.”

Caius wasn’t upset and still had a smile on his face. “By the way, what were you all talking about just

now, to end up cursing even me and Samuel?”

Madison briefly recounted what they had just talked about.

After listening, Caius’ expression became more serious. “If you’re sure about getting a divorce, it can’t

be delayed any longer. Jessica, you’ve suffered enough. You can’t fall into the same trap again.”

Although the late Edgar had a great responsibility for her marriage, if Madison hadn’t agreed to it back

then, he wouldn’t have forced her into it. So, in a way, Leo was also a

victim.

But no matter what, Leo’s actions toward Jessica were excessive. Even from a man’s

perspective, Caius couldn’t defend Leo especially since it was his niece who was mistreated.

Madison couldn’t help but wear a wry smile at their reactions. “Fa nny, Caius, it’s not that I don’t want to

leave because of my love-struck mind: I wish it could happen sooner. It’s Leo who started dragging his

feet suddenly.”

Saying this, Madison couldn’t help but think, ‘He was the one who asked for a divorce, and in the end,

he’s the one who’s dragging his feet. What a ps ycho!’

“He’s dragging his feet and doesn’t want to get a divorce?” Fa nny and Caius exclaimed almost

simultaneously, their expressions almost identical.

Madison nodded. “Yes, he misunderstood my relationship with Joe, thinking that I was with Joe for

money. He said I should cut ties with Joe before we proceed with the divorce. But I don’t mind. I can

wait. He’s the one with someone waiting for him, so the divorce is a done deal.”

Fan ny scoffed coldly as she thought, ‘He’s just pretending to be kind! If he cared, how could he leave

Madison alone overseas for three years without checking in on her and even hire someone to hurt

her?’

Caius pinched the bridge of his glasses, looking serious. “If that’s what he’s thinking, it’s not so bad. But

I’m afraid there might be other motives. But since it’s possible to get a divorce soon, let’s wait and see.”

Madison agreed. As she said, she wasn’t in a rush. It was Sally who should be.

‘Oh, here you are.” The door to the lounge opened, and Joe and Samuel entered, carrying some fruit

and snacks. After exchanging greetings, they sat down.

oe also brought a stack of contracts and handed them to Madison, seated next to him. Here, take a

look, and if everything’s okay, sign it.”

The contracts were all about M&L Studio. They weren’t just for XR Entertainment, but lso several other

companies on a non-exclusive signing model. In other words, M&L tudio’s designs could be used by

several companies at the same time. 60 percent of the nal transaction’s net profit would go to M&L

Studio. It was giving money to Madison.

Madison was dumbfounded as she briefly skimmed through the contracts. “Why are here so many

contracts? Didn’t we agree that I would sign a contract with you, Joe?”

he plan was to sign the contract tonight, taking advantage of the heat of the fashion la for some

publicity.

and Here’s the thing, Jessica. Our companies need original designers. For example, my han’s

companies need game character skins or jewelry for character pendants. So, we

discussed it with Joe and drafted this non-exclusive contract,” Samuel explained.

Joe remembered the attacks from the group chat and didn’t want to talk, so Samuel spoke instead.

After finishing, he reminded Joe. “Right, Joe?”

Joe nodded. “Yeah!”

It was clear for all to see that the group of brothers couldn’t allow Joe to take Madison’s designs all for

himself, so they forced Joe to compromise!

“Ah, I see.” Madison was stunned, but there was no problem with these contracts or Samuel’s

explanation. She picked up a pen and signed several contracts. “I’m lucky that I have so many brothers

helping me!”

“Since it’s non-exclusive, why not bring me along? My company’s designers are not talented enough.

With Sylvia’s help, it could help me gain some fame.” Fan ny also joined them.

“Since you want to give me money, I’ll take it!” Madison joked.

The contracts were finalized and signed, and the news was released during the break at the fashion

show. Due to the different nature of the companies, only the collaboration between XR Entertainment,

S&D Games, and Fan ny’s F&C Group was announced, using the word “etc.” for the rest. Even so, it

caused quite a stir at the venue.



Amidst the discussions, Leo stood up with a cold expression and said, “Let’s go.”

“Are we leaving now? The show hasn’t finished yet.” Cullen reluctantly glanced at the models on the

stage and caught up with Leo.

Leo didn’t like such occasions in the first place. He had come for a designer but ended up not meeting

her. It was easy to imagine how disappointed he was at the moment.

Cullen followed Leo as he said, “I don’t think you need to be too disheartened, Leo. Since Sylvia signed

with three companies at once, it means you still have a chance.”

“Do you think so?” Leo paused and glanced at him. The Palmer Group had offered triple the price, but

Sylvia refused to renew the contract. Now, they couldn’t even reach her, and she had signed contracts

with other companies. It was clear to him that she didn’t want to cooperate with the Palmer Group.

However, what puzzled Leo the most was that he still didn’t know how he had offended Sylvia.

Cullen understood this and asked, “So, are we just letting this go?”

Leo nodded, and his emotions gradually calmed down. “M&L Studio doesn’t provide many design

drafts each year, and renewing the contract with the Palmer Group would have been a bonus, not a

necessity. I came here in person because Sylvia is a talented

Chapter 36

designer, and it’s a pity to lose her. Also, she has done me a favor, so it’s only right to try to keep her.”

But obviously, there was no chance to negotiate now. Leo looked up, and his gaze suddenly darkened.

Cullen murmured after him. “But we haven’t seen her yet. There might still be a chance…”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Leo turn and walk quickly in another direction. “Hey, where are

you going? Isn’t the exit over there?” Cullen asked.
