My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise

Chapter 21

Sally couldn’t hide her emotions from her face. She demanded, “Are you trying to drive me away?”

“Miss Hale, your words are too harsh,” said Justin. With Madison beside him, he restrained his

impatience but still spoke with a hint of pride. “Since you claimed my food is inedible, reordering them

won’t change the taste. To avoid wasting the food, we kindly suggest you try another restaurant. We

are not driving you away. We wouldn’t dare to drive away a big star like you.”

Sally was filled with anger and retorted, “Then, just get another chef to prepare it! Don’t tell me that

there is only one chef in such a big restaurant?”

Justin shrugged. “Sorry, Miss Hale, all the other chefs in our restaurant were taught by me. The taste of

their food naturally matches mine.”

With the conversation reaching this point, even if Sally wanted to stay, she was too embarrassed to

stay any longer.

She bit her lip, glared fiercely at Madison, and left.

Cynthia, who was filming with her phone, hurriedly caught up to her. “Sally, wait for me!”

After they left Rose Garden, Sally couldn’t hold back her emotions anymore.

She cursed loudly to vent her frustration. That bit ch! She is just a waitress. What’s with her attitude?

Even if she drives me away, she’s still serving others inside!”

Cynthia chimed in, “Sally, don’t bother with that bit ch. She only knows a few hooligans. Last time it was

a few street ruffians, and this time it’s a few chefs. There are plenty of wealthy people dining at Rose

Garden, and many have business connections with the Palmer family. Just tell Mr. Palmer what

happened, and when they lose business, they’ll not be arrogant anymore.”

Sally narrowed her eyes. “You’re right.”

She snorted, took out her phone from her bag, and made a call.

Soon, the call was answered.

Sally’s tone sounded aggrieved as she complained, “Leo, I just saw my sister at Rose

Garden…”

Inside Rose Garden, after Sally left, many people couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

The loudest laughter came from Justin.

He stood with hands on his hips, looking in the direction of the door with disdain. “Who does sh

think she is? She wanted my teacher to prepare a meal but insisted on saying my food was not good.

Fortunately, Madison is impressive, and told her to

scram!”

Others nodded in agreement. “Exactly. This is the first time someone said the food at Rose Garden is

not tasty. She even looks down on people based on education. The average education level in our

kitchen is probably many times higher than what she bought with money!”

The rule to get into university was established by Greg.

Those learning to cook under him were either financially struggling or orphans. They studied while

cooking, even competing academically among themselves.

Those who performed well were rewarded by Greg, while those who didn’t felt embarrassed.

As for those who completed their studies but wanted to continue learning culinary skills at Rose

Garden, they formally became part of the Holland family and called Greg their teacher.

If they didn’t want to return and achieve success in various industries, as long as they didn’t bring

shame to Rose Garden, they could continue to call Greg their teacher.

“Alright. There are still customers in the restaurant. Don’t goof around out here. Go back to the kitchen

and cook!” Greg shouted sternly.

Everyone dispersed, returning to their respective duties.

After everyone left, the solemn expression on Greg’s wrinkled face immediately turned into a smile.

“Thanks for your help today, Madison.”

Madison followed suit with a smile, looking exasperated. “Greg, we’re family after all. Let’s go. Don’t

you still have food you need me to try?”

“Oh yes! We should hurry. The taste might change when it cools down.” Greg hurriedly led the way.

Madison followed him, but she was not in a hurry. “Greg, did you save the video took earlier?”

On Sally’s side, Cynthia was holding her phone up and filming just now. Madison couldn’t be

unprepared for anything.

Greg didn’t think much of the matter. “Yes, I’ll ask Justin to send it to you later.”

“Go and do it now. Copy the surveillance video, too. Save a separate copy, Madison instructed.

When Leo received Sally’s call, he had just arrived at the main Palmer residence.

He parked the car at the door without rushing to get out. “Are you saying Madison is working at Rose

Garden?”

“Yes. My sister might be secretly blaming me. That’s why she kicked me out of Rose Garden and even

mentioned canceling your VIP card.” Sally’s voice sounded aggrieved.

Leo fell silent.

Sally thought Leo was infuriated and took the opportunity to add more details, hoping to add fire to his

flames.

Then the man’s voice came through the phone again. “You mentioned that there were people around

her? Who are they?”

Sally was puzzled and answered truthfully, “There aren’t many people, just Rose Garden’s waitstaff and

two or three chefs.”

Thinking about it made her angry.

They weren’t even the owner of Rose Garden, but a few chefs managed to kick her out. How arrogant!

But Leo couldn’t hear the resentment in her words. He made a soft sound of acknowledgment and got

out of the car. “Next time, if you want to go to Rose Garden, give me a call. I’ll accompany you. Or you

can call Morris and let him arrange it. Don’t go alone.

Sally, feeling a bit stunned, finally understood that Leo did not intend to pursue the matter. She

cautiously said, “Leo, are you blaming me for secretly using your name to go to Rose Garden and

causing trouble?”

Leo frowned. “I didn’t mean that. It’s just not good for you to run into her alone.”

“That’s true. Madison finally found a job. In case we have a dispute, and she gets blamed and fired by

the boss, that wouldn’t be good.” Sally empathized. Then she suddenly changed the topic, “By the way,

Leo, my mom asked today when the two of us will… you know, settle the date for our wedding.”

Leo, who was heading towards the main Palmer residence, froze.

He fell silent. Suddenly, scenes of Madison accepting roses from other men flashed in his mind.

An inexplicable discomfort welled up in his chest, accompanied by a latent irritation. that he hadn’t

noticed before.

“It will have to wait until the divorce proceedings with her are completed before we can decide on a

date,” he replied. His words carried a subtle edge.

“Okay. I’ll tell my mom. I’ll hang up for now. She keeps saying that I’m getting old and seems to despise

me remaining at home,” Sally said in a coquettish tone.

The call ended, and Leo looked at the darkened screen. His gaze was slightly solemn.. After a while, This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

he resumed walking towards the house.

Since the passing of Edgar, the main Palmer residence had been inhabited solely by Amber Palmer,

Leo’s mother.

For the past three years, Leo had taken charge of the entire Palmer Group while Amber remained

uninvolved. She spent her time alone in the main Palmer residence, tending to flowers, growing plants,

and praying.

Today happened to be her birthday, but there was no grand celebration. She only called. Leo, asking if

he would come home for dinner.

Carrying a gift, Leo entered the house.

Amber was coming out of the kitchen with a pot of soup when she saw him. She was not surprised.

“You’re back? Go wash up. Dinner is ready.”

Leo gave an affirmative sound and placed the item in his hands on the table.

He was about to go to the kitchen to wash his hands and help when Amber’s phone on the table rang.

He glanced at it, intending to call out to Amber, but he abruptly stopped.

The name ‘Madison’ on the phone screen was particularly conspicuous.

In the three years that Madison had been abroad, she hadn’t called him once, but she maintained

contact with his mother.

He scoffed inwardly.

Without much thought, he reached out and answered the phone.
