Madison’s footsteps paused at her voice..

Ramona had a cold expression on her face as she got up from the floor and gestured for someone to bring a document.

“Since you’ve decided to leave the Hale family, go ahead and sign this severance agreement, Ramona said.

Severing ties verbally was always inferior to a written document. Although Madison had long moved out of their household, who knew if she would regret it or be unwilling to give up the affluent lifestyle?

Ramona didn’t want this foster daughter, who had no blood relation to them, to take advantage of the Hale family any further.

Without hesitation, Madison signed her name on the severance agreement,

There were two copies, and she took one. Then, she respectfully bowed to Ramona.

“Thank you, Ramona, for your care over the years,” Madison told her. “Goodbye.”

With that, Madison turned to leave. She could not be bothered with the other people in the room, including her ex-husband-in-name.

“Madison Hale!” a voice shouted.

As she was about to leave the room, Leo instinctively stepped forward and grabbed her

wrist.

As though his touch sent an electric shock through her, Madison immediately shook off his hand. Her eyes showed a hint of disgust. “Mr. Palmer, do you have something to say

to me?”

Leo had never seen Madison look at him with such disdain or anyone daring to show him such an attitude. There was disgust, contempt, and resentment in her eyes….

For a moment, he was stunned. He forgot his original purpose for stopping her.

Taking advantage of this pause, Sally, who had been hiding behind Ramona, suddenly came forward.

Sally said, “Madison, don’t act on impulse. Mom was just angry when she made you sign. the severance agreement. Apologize to Mom, and you can stay. What happened tonight. wasn’t intentional. You know I often have relapses for my illness… Besides, without the support of the Hale family, how will you survive? Please, I’m begging you, don’t blame

me. I’ll control my illness better in the future. We’re the only two children of our parents. Let’s support and take care of them together.”

Sally’s words seemed chaotic but carried significant information.

Firstly, Sally shifted all the blame for hiring someone to tarnish Madison onto her men tal illness and showed her innocence. Then, she demonstrated her magnanimity by allowing Madison to remain.

Secondly, she subtly mocked Madison as a lone and destiture orphan, insinuating that without the Hale family, she would have no support. Sally also questioned whether Madison had any regard for her elders, especially when she simply left after so many years of raising her.

A light laughter suddenly came from the crowd.

“What a great show! No wonder Miss Hale can sk ip classes at the academy and directly act in movies directed by renowned directors. It turns out she’s naturally talented!”

The speaker was a woman standing in the far thest corner of the crowd. If not for her comment, no one would have noticed her.

She cla

clapped her hands and had a sneer on her face. “You have prepared the severance agreement in advance. Then, after she bows down to you and signs it, you now pretend to be that this is not what you intended and ask her to stay. Don’t you think it’s hypocritical?”

Some recognized her as the star, Blanche Malone, who was heavily criticized online last year. After scandalous information about her was exposed, the movie in which she was supposed to be the lead was switched to Sally. Until now, she hadn’t landed roles and was continuously criticized.

any acting

Sally looked even more pitiful with teary eyes. She said. “Blanche, I know you’re still holding a grudge from last year’s movie incident, but it’s not my fault… Moreover, why are you meddling in my family affairs?”

Blanche laughed sarcastically. “Yeah. This is your family affairs, yet you invited so many people upstairs to watch. It’s as if you are afraid others wouldn’t know you

hired people to harm your adoptive sister. Now, you are trying to brush it over by mentioning your illness. You’re right. I can’t meddl in this at all.”

“You!” Sally began furiously. Her face turned red, but before she could speak, Madison, who hadn’t spoken all this time, interrupted them.

She smiled. “Since my little sister kindly wishes for me to stay, I think…”
