Madeline thought that they could force Sandra to tell them the truth this way, though neither of them said that she would have to bear the responsibility fully.
They were only forcing her because they wanted clarity on this matter.
However, she pulled such a crazy move. In order to protect the mastermind, she actually chose to jump off a building.
Madeline and Pamela rushed to the window at the same time, and saw Sandra lying in a pool of blood.
“Maddy, is she crazy? She’s afraid of going to jail, but not afraid of dying?”
Seeing that a crowd had already started to gather around, Madeline could only quickly make an emergency call. Then, she said helplessly, “Sandra has gone way too deep into doting on her brother. In the past, even if someone said something bad about her brother, she would lose her temper at them.”
Sandra’s action shocked both of them. Fortunately, they were only on the fourth floor, so when she jumped, she simply lost consciousness and was sent away in an ambulance.
Pamela said with her fingers pressed to her temples, “Maddy, it seems that things aren’t as simple as we thought. If we don’t handle it well, we might all be in trouble.”
“Pamela, I really didn’t expect things to turn out like this. I thought I would be able to find out who the mastermind was after we found Sandra, but I didn’t expect her to be so stubborn.”
“Ididn’t want to complicate things at first, but if she wants to do this, then she can’t blame me.”
Originally, this matter could have been resolved once Sandra spilled the beans, but in order to protect the mastermind, she chose such an extreme method.
Therefore, Pamela had to think from the company’s perspective. She chose to call the police and arrange for the professionals to deal with the matter.
Madeline sighed. “I just can’t think of anyone who would target me and even implicate the company.”
“Maddy, don’t worry too much. We’ll get to the bottom of this. Leave it to me and don’t be too affected by this.”
Pamela protected Madeline so valiantly that it warmed Madeline’s heart.
However, the matter was far more complicated than Madeline had imagined. Shortly after they called the police, this matter had somehow been widely spread online.
There were even some terrible headlines. Some were about how Willow pushed her assistant so hard that she tried to commit suicide, while others were about Willow’s plagiairism.
This time, it was obvious that someone was trying to attack BELLA’s reputation in the country.
Of course, the one who benefited the most from this would be the most suspicious party.
In the past, there was never a single blemish on BELLA’s reputation. Now that their most capable designer had gotten into trouble, it would definitely cause a storm in the fashion industry.
If the matter was not resolved properly, Willow’s career would certainly be severely derailed.
Despite her frustration and unhappiness, at the thought of the children waiting for her at home, Madeline soothed her emotions and returned to the Astor mansion.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw the two children chasing after each other in the living room. The reverberation of their laughter around the living room immediately relieved her of her fatigue.
But it was quickly ruined by a stern voice. “You finally remembered to come home? Look at the time.”
It was as if he was blaming his wife for returning home late. Madeline, who was originally in a bad mood, rolled her eyes at him unhappily.
“Thad something to attend to at the company, so I came back later. Thanks for taking care of the kids.”
Although she wasn’t familiar with Augustus, the strange thing was, she could entrust her daughter to him.
The two little ones stopped chasing each other and ran to hug their mother. Their little faces rubbed against her legs, making Madeline feel better.

Ever since Aurora was born, the mother and daughter had gone through all kinds of hardships. The difficulty she was going through now was nothing.
Augustus had thought that she was going to argue with him. However, she said nothing and carried her daughter back to her room.
All these years, Madeline never liked to rely on others. But whenever Favian knew that she was in trouble, he would take the initiative to help her. Now, she wanted to stop receiving help from others, and rely on herself to settle all these problems.
However, she had just returned to her room when she heard the sound of someone kicking the door.
And the reason the door was kicked was because President Astor’s arms were fractured, and he had no choice but to use his legs.
Madeline opened the door and glared at him angrily. She wanted to scold him for not knocking with his hands, but when she saw his hands in their casts, she suppressed her anger.
“Mr, Astor, it’s my breaktime now. What’s the matter?”
Augustus glanced at the child who was making faces at him and said calmly, “Follow me to the study. I have something for you.”
Madeline really didn’t know what Augustus was talking about.
“Thank you for your kind intentions, Mr. Astor. I don’t think I lack anything right now, so I won’t trouble you.”
“No, you’re going to be very interested in what I’m talking about. And I can guarantee that if you miss this opportunity, you’ll regret it.”
Madeline wasn’t in the mood to figure out his intentions, so she could only smile apologetically.
“Mtr, Astor’s offer sounds attractive, but right now, I just want to rest. I think you can tell that I’m feeling very stressed out.”
Actually, what Madeline meant was this:
‘You can see that I’m in a bad mood now, so you’d better walk away to avoid angering me.”
However, Augustus replied seriously, “I think the things I have prepared for you can resolve your worries. Besides, I look forward to working with you, Miss Willow.”
‘When Augustus said this, Madeline was completely shocked. This meant that Augustus knew everything about her.
Behind her, Aurora chimed in. “Mom, I believe in Daddy. Hurry up and go. He’ll definitely make you happy.”
Madeline turned around and pinched Aurora’s cheek, giving her a stern look. “How many times do you want me to tell you that he’s not your father?”
Aurora stubbornly retorted. “In any case, he’s the only father that I’ll acknowledge. Hugo also said that you’re the only mother he’ll acknowledge, and so we are a family.”
Surprisingly, Augustus didn’t refute Aurora’s words; he should have been the one who was most resistant to what she said!
There was still no reaction from him at all. Even when Madeline tured to look at him, he still didn’t say anything.
In the end, it was Aurora who won. “Mom, did you see that? Daddy has silently acknowledged this, so don’t be picky anymore. If you continue like this, you’ll become an old spinster. You have to think of your daughter too. I’m already worried sick for you.”
Madeline was speechless.

She was curious about what kind of daughter she had raised over the past few years, resulting in the latter torturing her now.
If she didn’t leave with Augustus, her daughter would probably despise her.
Hence, Augustus had become a safe haven for her. This made Madeline feel a little hopeless.
“Let’s go, Mr. Astor. If I continue to stay here, I’ll become a sinner.”
