"What did you say?" Leo demanded.

Before Morris could finish, a cold gaze pierced him.

"It's Madam..." Morris felt a chill run down his spine. He realized he had addressed Madison wrongly. He changed his form of address at once. "The staff who did the handover procedures to Miss Madison said so. Creek Court and the other properties under her name are all being listed for sale. Moreover..."

Leo's face darkened increasingly with each word Morris said. Morris's voice grew softer. In the end, he did not even dare to go on.

He had not planned to tell Leo. After all, the properties divided in the divorce agreement were in Madison's hands. Naturally, Madison could do whatever she wanted with them.

However, when he saw Creek Court was also put up for sale, Morris could not help it. He had to tell Leo about it.

Morris's father worked for Edgar. After university, Morris also worked for the Palmer family. Although he was not as close to Leo as Cullen, they grew up together.

Creek Court was a marital home that Edgar had specially bought for Madison. The interior decoration was also done according to her preferences. It could be said that Edgar treated Madison better than his grandson, Leo. The villa was naturally different from the other properties. How could it be sold just like that?

Morris was furious, so he came over to inform Leo. But now, he didn't dare to.

"What else?" Leo asked impatiently.

Morris could only bite the bullet and continued, "Miss Madison also donated... all of the additional 3% of Gotnorm shares that you added."

"Donated?" Leo frowned slightly.

At this point, Morris had to tell Leo all of it. He said honestly, "Yes, it was donated to the Sidovor City government to establish a recovery platform for lost children."

As soon as Morris finished, the office fell silent.

Morris raised his head to look at Leo's expression. He saw that Leo, who had a dark expression, had already regained his composure, and his tone had become more casual.

Leo responded, "So be it. As for the properties she is selling... Buy Creek Court and put it under Mom's name. Don't worry about the rest." Madison could do whatever she wanted with her things. Leo had already given them away, so he naturally wouldn't treat them as his. As for Creek Court... Although he could understand why Madison would sell it, Leo still felt irritated.

In addition, Madison had disappeared without a trace. It was really as she had said back then, "I'll have nothing to do with him after the divorce." The woman was really heartless! At the thought of that, Leo's face darkened again.

"Just buy Creek Court. Don't tell me anything else about her in the future." With that, Leo lowered his gaze and entered the lounge. He did not even give Morris time to respond. Morris secretly heaved a sigh of relief after Leo disappeared. He did not know if it was right for him to bring this up.

However, there was no point in thinking too much about it. He restrained his expression and left with Leo's instructions. Before Morris left, he did not forget to greet Cullen.

Cullen smiled at Morris and did not say anything. When he was the only one left in the office, Cullen sneered. "What a big dumbass."

The house Leo bought with his money was given to his ex-wife, and then Leo bought it back from her again... Cullen didn't know what to feel about Leo other than wanting to mock him.

However, Jessica was too much. She even wanted to sell Creek Court, which Edgar had chosen for her. It couldn't be that she would never return to Sidovor City in the future, right? No, he had to ask clearly!

*****

Madison had no time to reply to Cullen's message.

The Daves family's residence slowly became lively as the sky gradually darkened. John and his father, Sergio, were the first to return. They got off work early before things were over at the company. Eric's family came next. Eric was a handsome man. Since he got out of the car, he had been embracing his wife, Eva Daves, with a smile on his face.

Behind the two of them was Antoine, who had been secretly staying in Rozalia with Madison and the others for some time. When Antoine saw Madison, he could not help but smile and look away. To Madison's surprise, Jason also came.

One had to know that Jason, who worked in a pharmaceutical company and specialized in developing medical equipment, was very busy.

Not only did Jason have to program computers all day long like programmers in dot-com companies, but he also had to go to the hospital to look for patients to ensure that the equipment developed by the company would not cause any harm to the human body. Therefore, Jason was usually the busiest, even busier than Madison, who was a top actress.

Madison would occasionally send a few messages to ask after him, but she did not always get a reply. As time passed, she did not disturb Jason too much, afraid that she would waste his time. This also caused Madison to be a little afraid of Jason. She even occasionally wondered if it was because Jason did not like her.

However, seeing him, Madison was still happy and greeted him excitedly. "Jason!"

Jason was also stunned when the exquisitely-dressed Madison jumped in front of him.

Then, he nodded slightly and spoke in a low voice, "Madison." His tone was polite and reserved.

Madison was inevitably disappointed but did not show it on her face. Moreover, the teasing voices of the others pulled her over to them again.

"Jessica, why do you only have eyes for your brothers? You don't even greet your Uncle Eric and Aunt Eva." Eric hugged his wife and could not stop laughing as he looked at the group of children.

His teasing also made Madison a little embarrassed. She scratched her head and came over to greet them. Her sweet voice seeped into everyone's heart. "Uncle Eric. Aunt Eva."

"What a good girl. You've been suffering outside for so many years. This is a welcome-back gift from us. From now on, you will be one of us. We won't let anyone bully you again!" Eric spoke solemnly as he took out a thin and beautiful envelope from his pocket.

The envelope was very thin, but one could vaguely see the outline of the bank card.

Madison was a little embarrassed. She tilted her head and glanced at her father and brother. Seeing them nod, she smiled and accepted it. "Thank you, Uncle Eric. Thank you, Aunt Eva."

Eric patted her shoulder. "Don't stand on ceremony. You're part of the family!"

Madison felt like crying. She nodded and smiled. "Got it, Uncle Eric."

Eva, who stood next to Eric, smiled faintly and nodded at Madison.

Madison looked up and saw Eva. She finally knew who Antoine and Jason resembled. Not only were their eyes aloof, but even their cold personalities were similar.

Madison did not dare to look at the woman for too long. She felt that it was impolite to stare at a woman for too long and looked away slightly. "Aunt Eva is so beautiful. I also brought gifts for you, Uncle Eric, and Jason. I'll bring them to everyone later."

"Jessica, you're such a sweet talker. It'll be good if you had lived with us since young." Eva couldn't help but laugh. Her tone was indifferent and carried a hint of pity.

As soon as Eva finished, the atmosphere in the hall tensed.
