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

The old residence of the Daves family was similar to the Palmer family's. Both were built by the older generations and had a long history. However, because of the difference in regional culture, the architecture of the two residences was a little different.

The Palmer family residence was built in front of the mountains, while the Daves family residence overlooked a stream from their front door.

The old residence of the Daves family was surrounded by a fence. In the compound, there were all kinds of flowers and plants. There were also many fruit trees. From the tree trunks, one could tell that the trees were already quite old.

When Madison walked along a bridge toward the house, she realized that the bridge was built in a classical style. However, when she entered the house, she saw all kinds of modern furniture and equipment in the house.

Madison had only seen the decor at home in the past when she had video sessions with Rosalie. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she felt that the older generation had a great sense of aesthetics.

However, it was not the right time to admire these things. Finding Charlie was the most important thing.

Everyone did not waste any time after entering the house. They quickly scattered to look for Charlie.

Madison followed Joe because she was unfamiliar with the house.

However, after taking a few steps, she realized that Joe did not want to look for Charlie.

She stopped in her tracks. "Joe, don't tell me you want to leave? You promised to stay with me in Rozalia for a few more days. You can't go back on your word."

Previously, when she was chatting with Rosalie, she already felt that Joe did not seem too happy. She could not help but worry that Joe would cause the estrangement in her family to deepen.

Joe glanced at her and gave her a knock on the head. "What are you thinking about? Don't you want to look for your nephew?"

Madison rubbed her head where Joe had knocked on and wrinkled her nose. "You're the one who didn't look around properly, and I don't know the way. What if I get lost?"

The Daves family's land was really big. Just the plot of land at the entrance where fruit trees were planted and grape trellises were built was larger than the size of three villas of the Hale family. Let alone the size of the Daves family house.

If Madison walked alone in the house, she might get lost.

Hence, it was only right for Gina to worry about Charlie getting lost at home. It was such a big place, and she did not know where Charlie was hiding.

Seeing that Joe did not move, Madison could not help but push him. "Joe, did you hide somewhere in the house when you were young? Are you thinking about where you were hiding?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Joe looking at her strangely.

Madison's eyes widened. "...Did I guess correctly?"

Joe pursed her lips and did not refute her.

Although the old residence had surveillance cameras installed outside, it was surrounded by mountains and rivers. There were also many trees, flowers, and plants in the courtyard. If Charlie really wanted to hide somewhere, it was very easy to find a suitable place.

Joe had not returned for a few years. These trees looked a little different from what he remembered. If he were to look for them, he might be as lost as Madison.

At the thought of this, he pulled Madison back.

Madison was surprised. "Joe, where are we going?"

"Aren't we looking for someone?"

Joe Daves's tone was casual as he led her in the direction of the main house.

Madison was not familiar with this place, so she could only follow Joe.

Before Madison could take a few steps, she heard a cry. The delicate sound made Madison's heart tremble. It almost made her subconsciously think of Sally.

She looked up and saw an exquisitely dressed woman walking behind Gina.

"I'm sorry, Gina. I really don't know where Charlie went. I just lowered my head to look at my phone. Who knew that he ran away quietly, and I couldn't see him when I looked up? It's all my fault. Don't chase me away."

Gina was speechless. "Mrs. Daves asked you to leave. Today is the first time that Madison is back. The family is already very busy. I'm very grateful that you came to help take care of Charlie, but you..." After all, the woman was a guest who had come to visit, so Gina couldn't say much. She only led her to the door.

"You can go back first. I'll let you know when we find Charlie. Mrs. Daves is very angry today. Don't continue to stay and annoy her. Otherwise, you won't have the chance to come again in the future." The woman looked aggrieved. Just as she was about to leave with Gina, she glanced over from the corner of her eye and suddenly widened her eyes.

Madison who met her gaze, was also a little stunned. She did not expect to bump into an old acquaintance.

The woman was Cybil. She was Cynthia Watson's elder sister. Cynthia used to follow Sally around when they were kids. However, Cynthia and Cybil were not biological siblings. They were half-sisters. There were many family feuds in wealthy families. Even families like the Watson family that had already declined had many problems.

It was said that the Watson family had a marriage alliance with a family with a good background. Later, the couple divorced because Mr. Watson had an affair. His ex-wife brought her daughter back to her family, while Mr. Watson married another lady from a simple family, and she gave birth to another daughter.

As for the mistress who ruined that marriage, it was unknown how much money she had been given to leave. In short, there was no trace of that woman in Sidovor City.

Madison met Cybil when she was young. It was probably because Cybil's mother was very arrogant, and hence Cybil was very well-known in school.

However, Cybil was a few years older than Madison. Although Madison had heard of how impressive Cybil was, she had never bullied Madison.

Now that they have met again in Madison's house. Madison could not help but feel a little strange as she thought of Cybil's arrogant face back then. Madison pictured it overlapping with Cybil's mature face

now.

Madison wondered if the rumor regarding Cybil's family background was related to the Daves family.

Madison did not think too much about it. She retracted her gaze and planned to walk away with Joe.

After all, they did not know each other to begin with. At most, they had only met once.

"Stop!"

Just as Madison was about to leave, Cybil stopped her.

Not only was Madison a little displeased by her tone, but even Gina and Joe frowned.

However, Cybil did not bother about anything as she was still arrogant. She walked straight towards Madison and sized her up with her misty eyes.

"You're Sidovor City's... Mr. Palmer's ex-wife? There was a big fiasco at the wedding right? Your sister is Sally Hale, and she used to be a celebrity? What's your name again?" Madison lowered her eyes.

She did not expect that after divorcing Leo, her name would still be linked to his.

However, she was helpless. Although this relationship had ended, it could not be erased. It was inevitable that her name would be mentioned with his in some occasions. Madison's expression was calm. She nodded at Cybil politely.

"Madison Hale."

"I know you. I've seen pictures of you on the Internet. You're prettier in person."

Cybil was generous with her compliments. She glanced at Joe beside Madison and smiled.

"You have good taste. You should be at odds with Sally Hale, right? I think I like you!"

Madison was speechless!

She wondered, 'Cybil must be thinking that I'm Joe's girlfriend!'

Madison did not bother to explain. Instead, she smiled and replied, "Thank you. You're very beautiful too."

Cybil snorted and did not look at Madison anymore. Instead, she turned to look at Joe.

Then she said coquettishly, "Joe, since you've brought your girlfriend back, why don't you let me stay? It's not that I didn't watch Charlie carefully. I'll apologize to Amber and John later, okay? Please?" Madison felt a chill run down her spine. She quietly took a step back and stood behind Joe.
