Madeline only admired Courtney’s shamelessness and she could not feel her sincerity at all.
“Oh no, you didn’t make me feel your sincerity. We’ll talk tomorrow!”
Sensing that Madeline was about to hang up, she immediately shouted, “Madeline, save me! If I wait until tomorrow, I’ll be killed by Michelle. She threatened that if I don’t help her…”
However, Madeline didn’t give her a chance to continue, because it was exactly this sort of despair that she wanted Courtney to feel.
Courtney was so angry that she threw the phone away. However, Michelle quickly called to chase her again, so she could only put down her pride and go to the Astor mansion.
The butler brought her in. She wanted to go upstairs but was stopped. “Miss West, Mr. Astor said that you can’t go upstairs without his orders.”
Courtney begged pitifully. “Sir, it’s a matter of life and death right now. Please let me up this time. Mr. Astor is already asleep, so we can’t possibly wake him up, right? Let me up please, I have something to talk to my sister about.”
However, the butler was insistent. “Please don’t make things difficult for us. We can’t go against Mr. Astor’s orders. You should go back!”
Courtney put her hands on her hips and immediately said in a furious tone, “I’m already giving you a lot of face by calling you Sir. You’d better know what’s good for you. Don’t forget that I gave birth to Hugo. It’s only a matter of time before I marry into the family. If you make things difficult for me, don’t
blame me for making things difficult for you when I move in.”
The butler was indeed in a difficult position. No matter what, this woman was Hugo’s biological mother, even though Hugo did not like her.
However, if one day, she really married Augustus, with her petty character, she would be sure to make things difficult for him.
Just when the butler didn’t know what to do, there was a mocking voice that came from the second floor.
“It’s still unknown whether this day will come. After all, you don’t even have the right to come upstairs right now, so how can you even dream of marrying into this family in the future?”
Madeline’s words completely exposed Courtney’s pitiable situation. Courtney was so angry that her entire body was shaking.
She spent five years trying to get close to Augustus, but in the end, she didn’t even have the right to go upstairs.
On the other hand, Madeline had never interacted with him before, yet he could easily let this b*tch move in.
Courtney clenched her teeth tightly and controlled her temper. No matter how angry she was, she still had to deal with her problems first.
“Madeline, you’re finally willing to see me!”
‘As Madeline walked down the stairs, she said, “If I didn’t come down, you’ll probably create a din down here. My two children have just fallen asleep, I can’t possibly let you wake them up.”
Courtney clenched her hands into fists so hard that her nails sank into her palms. She used the pain to force herself to control her temper.
This woman was already so arrogant even though she didn’t know that Hugo was her child. If she were to find out the truth, there would be no place for her in the Astor family anymore.
“Madeline, I’m just glad that you’re willing to meet me!”
“Don’t be too happy. I’m willing to meet you not because I want to talk to you, but to prevent you from disturbing me. That’s why I came down… To chase you away!”

These words were filled with disdain and threat, making Courtney almost lose her temper.
But Courtney had no choice at all. She could only press on despite being snubbed.
‘When Madeline walked to the living room, Courtney rushed over enthusiastically and said in a pitiful voice, “Madeline, what must we do before you’ll let this matter rest? Michelle and I can compensate you for all your losses this time. Please let us off!”
Madeline said with a smile, “Actually, it’s not impossible for me to let you go. I did a rough estimation. The losses caused by this matter, as well as the damages caused from the psychological trauma, should add up to about twenty million dollars!”
Courtney’s heart trembled when she heard this astronomical figure. Of course, she couldn’t afford this sum of money, and she felt that Madeline was clearly making things difficult for her, knowing that it was impossible for her to pay up.
“Madeline, can’t you be more magnanimous? I promise I won’t offend you anymore. Can you just let me go?”
“No I can’t!”
Madeline didn’t give her a chance to discuss at all, causing her anxiety levels to rise.
In the end, Courtney really had no choice but to kneel down. Then, she pulled Madeline’s leg pitifully and said sincerely, “Madeline, I know that I’ve done a lot of things that made you angry, but I can promise you that I’ll turn over a new leaf. I’ll also compensate you a more reasonable amount, and I’ll
invite you back home, alright?”
Ever since Madeline reappeared, Courtney had been worried that she would return to the West Family, so she had been badmouthing her in front of her father, preventing her from coming back.
Now, she could only invite this woman home. As long as this matter could be resolved, she was willing to do anything.
Madeline arrogantly pushed her away and sat down on the sofa. She crossed her legs and replied coldly, “I don’t want to go back to that place even if you begged me. And the compensation amount is reasonable. I won’t accept a single cent less.”
Courtney fell limply to the ground and muttered, “If this continues, she’ll kill me!”
Madeline chimed in. “Shouldn’t someone like you go to hell?”
Courtney looked at her in despair, but all she saw was contempt and ridicule, making her understand that this Madeline in front of her was no longer someone she could placate with perfunctory statements.
“You really don’t care about our sisterhood at all. Even when I’m begging you like this, you still refuse to give in.”
“You don’t seem to know your place. You’re nothing to me. Besides, based on our past grudges, I don’t think I need to explain myself anymore!”
Courtney gritted her teeth. She came here, only to be mocked and looked down upon. Her attempt was completely futile.
Finally, Madeline said, “Of course, if you’re willing to tell me why you did those things to me five years ago, including the truth behind my mother’s death, I can spare you.”
If Courtney told her the truth, then she would really be dead.

“Madeline, I don’t even know what you’re talking about. Those matters were really a misunderstanding.”
After she finished speaking, Madeline waved her hand. “Butler, this person is too noisy. Quickly chase her out lest Mr. Astor’s rest is disturbed by her.”
Courtney stood up angrily. She took a deep breath and said, “Who do you think you are, ordering people around here? Even if I can’t marry Augustus, you shouldn’t hope to stay here for too long.”
“From now on, she will be the mother of my son and the mistress of the Astor family. So long as she wishes to stay here, she can live here for the rest of her life. Do you have any objections?” Augustus’ loud voice echoed from upstairs, causing the two women’s emotions to fluctuate.
Madeline’s shock was no less than Courtney’s. The two of them froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, not knowing what to do.
Courtney felt that her breathing was about to stop, and she even suspected that there was something wrong with her ears..
