Contact her family and ask them to kill her again?
Madeline couldn’t be bothered to put on a pitiful act like Courtney had. She picked up her bag and nodded at Mrs. Astor. “I’ve noted down all your requests and I’ll send the gown to your residence in two days. I still have something on, so I’ll take my leave first.”
“Oh, there’s still Mrs. Lewis…”
Mrs. Astor instinctively tried to stop her, but Madeline had already left without looking back.
Mrs. Lewis didn’t look pleased that Madeline didn’t bother about her at all.
“Oh, Mrs. Lewis, look…” Seeing that Mrs. Lewis wasn’t given any preferential treatment, Mrs. Astor felt a little proud.
“Willow isn’t the only designer in this world!” Mrs. Lewis glanced at Courtney with a cold expression, her eyes filled with disdain. “However, Mrs. Astor, your taste in daughter-in-law is even more astounding.”
Even though she looked down on Madeline, she was even more repulsed by Courtney, who was obviously not a good person!
After hearing her words, Mrs. Astor recalled that Favian was pursuing Madeline. She then looked at Courtney, who only knew how to act pitiful and please others, and her mood turned somewhat sour.
“Madeline! Stop right there!”
Madeline had just walked to the entrance of the private clubhouse, when she was stopped by Courtney, who had run out after her.
Since there was no one around them, Courtney no longer pretended to be gentle and weak. Her eyes were filled with disgust and hatred. “Why are you trying to get closer to Augustus?”
Madeline was amused. Initially, she wanted to say that Augustus wasn’t attractive enough for her to want to approach him, but looking at how concerned Courtney was, she changed her mind.
She raised an eyebrow. “What do you think?”
Courtney gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to crack. “I won’t let you succeed!”
Madeline sneered, as she looked at Courtney nonchalantly. “But I’m about to succeed.”
She added smugly. “Augustus came to my house last night. Do you know what happened?”
Her tone was extremely ambiguous, making Courtney’s imagination run wild. The latter’s pretty face turned vicious, as though she wanted to bite Madeline to death. “Madeline! You…”
“Oh? What happened between us last night?”
A low and indifferent voice suddenly sounded behind her, shocking Madeline so much that she had goosebumps all over.
Augustus walked out from behind a pillar and glared at her sharply.
‘The comers of Madeline’s lips twitched. “Does President Astor have a habit of eavesdropping?”
Augustus sneered coldly at her. “If I didn’t eavesdrop, I wouldn’t have found out a person’s true colors.”
So this woman was indeed scheming, and wanted to use him to attack Courtney?
Augustus wasn’t in a good mood, but he couldn’t tell if it was because he had seen Madeline’s true colors, or because of the fact that she was trying to get close to him because of Courtney.
Courtney was delighted when she saw the cold aura surrounding Augustus. A smug gleam flashed across her eyes.
She had already noticed Augustus’ figure behind the pillar, which was why she had provoked Madeline to say those words. This was great
However, in the next second, her smile froze.
Augustus didn’t even spare her a glance; instead, he suddenly scooped Madeline into his arms and strode away!
By the time she came back to her senses, the two of them had already disappeared!
Courtney was so furious that she wanted to scream. All these years, she hadn’t been able to touch even the corner of Augustus’ clothes. But Madeline had.
She had to kill her!
“Augustus Astor, are you crazy? Put me down!”

After regaining her senses from her previous shock, Madeline struggled in Augustus’ arms in disbelief, but the man’s arms were like an iron vice that couldn’t be moved.
Augustus’ expression was frigid as he threw Madeline into the front passenger’s seat and drove off.
“Where are you taking me?” Madeline frowned and explained impatiently. “I was just joking to spite Courtney. I have no interest in you.”
Augustus chuckled angrily when he heard this. “Really? Do you think I would believe you?”
I don’t F*cking care if you believe me or not!
Madeline was speechless. It was her first time seeing such an arrogant man!
“Ok, President Astor, even if I wanted to get close to you, now that you’ve seen my true colors, can you please stay away from me?”
Augustus smirked. “Let’s first talk about what happened last night.”
This man is crazy!
‘Madeline was about to lose her temper, when her phone suddenly vibrated and a text message popped up.
Hugo had sent her a picture.
After taking a clear look, Madeline’s face froze. “President Astor, please drive to my house.”
Augustus glanced at her. “Do you like to bring men home?”
What the heck?!
Madeline sneered and raised the phone in front of this stupid man’s face. “If you don’t go back now, these two brats will bun my house down!”
On the road, the low-profile black sports car made a sharp U-turn and sped off.
Twenty minutes later, Madeline angrily stormed into her house.
“Aurora West! Hugo Astor! Both of you! Come out now!”
Looking around, she saw that the house was already filled with thick smoke, making it hard for her to open her eyes.
Madeline and Augustus hurriedly opened the windows for ventilation.
Amidst the smoke, two small, dark figures ran out of the kitchen, each carrying a plate of black mass.
Aurora opened her mouth, revealing a row of small porcelain white teeth that contrasted with her dirty face. “Mom, look at the braised pork I made!”
Hugo refused to be outdone, and raised the plate in his hand. “This is my grilled steak!”
‘One was her own daughter, so she couldn’t be angry.
The other was someone else’s son, so she couldn’t be angry either.
They were still children.
Madeline took three deep breaths and forced out a stiff smile. “Not bad, very good, but please, clean up the house within ten minutes, otherwise…”
She used her hand to mimic a knife and slowly slid it across her neck.
When Madeline rushed into her bedroom and slammed the door angrily, Aurora nodded in earnest. “Mom praised us. Looks like we did well!”
Hugo rubbed his head and pretended to frown coolly. “I don’t think that… Mommy was praising us?”
“You’re thinking too much.” Aurora looked like she was already used to it. “She said it’s not bad and that it’s very good. That means she’s really praising us.”
Hugo tilted his head and thought for a while. “What if Mommy says it’s bad, and it’s terrible?”

Aurora blinked her big eyes and smiled slyly. “Women always say the opposite of what they mean. Her original intention would actually be to praise us.”
Augustus couldn’t help but chuckle as he watched the two children.
He had to admit, Madeline was a woman who knew how to raise a child well. She had raised Aurora to be lively, intelligent and positive.
In comparison, his son was too simple-minded.
Half an hour later, Madeline couldn’t help but walk out of the bedroom when she didn’t hear anything outside.
“Aurora, you…”
Before she finished her words, she widened her eyes in shock. “Au… Augustus?”
She stared at the man in front of her, who was wearing a hat made out of newspapers and playing with the kids with a mop in his hands.. Was this really Augustus?
