Chapter 37: Blindsided

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

‘Who would have expected Augustus, the most powerful man in the capital city, and always a man of his word, to say something like that?

Didn’t that mean that he had decided that Madeline was going to be his future wife?

Because he totally didn’t need to use such words to scare Courtney.

This time, the two sisters’ hearts were filled with mixed feelings. Courtney was petrified, and she stood there frozen.

In the end, she had no choice but to retreat under Augustus’ gaze. “Mr. Astor, I gave birth to Hugo for you, but you refused to give me a status. Now, you’re defending this person who just appeared.”

Courtney’s anger could burn a person to death. Madeline had gone and easily taken what she wanted.

“If you leave the Astor mansion now, you will still have some dignity left. Don’t force me to chase you away. I only feel that you are a failure as Hugo’s mother!”

He actually said that she was a failure. Courtney clenched her fists tightly and didn’t say anything else. She could only leave, bringing with her an anger that she had never felt before.

“Why did you say that?”

‘As soon as Courtney left, Madeline questioned Augustus.

His words were not of any help to her at all; rather, it would attract hatred and trouble for her.

“Of course it’s because I’m angry at her for using her identity to suppress you. Shouldn’t you be thanking me instead of being fierce towards me?”

“Mr. Astor, I feel that I have to explain my position to you seriously. I’m not interested in you at all, so from now on, even if you want to help me, please don’t use this method.”

Awoman had just told Augustus that she wasn’t interested in him at all.

‘Wasn’t that the line that he should be using?

Moreover, she should have thanked him, but in the end, she didn’t appreciate it at all and instead blamed him for being nosy.

“Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not interested in a woman like you who doesn’t understand romance. I just want that woman to give up.”

“That’s between the two of you. Don’t involve me in the future.”

Madeline stormed up the stairs and threw Augustus a dirty look before closing the door.

Augustus gritted his teeth in anger. What had he done wrong? He had spoken up for this woman in a moment of pity, and yet she wasn’t grateful to him at all.

And now, she even treated him with such disdain.

Augustus sucked in a deep breath. If he ever meddled with this woman again, he would no longer be human!

On the other hand, Courtney, who had left the Astor mansion, was humiliated so badly for the first time in her life. All of this was due to that damned woman.

However, before she could calm down, Michelle called her again to ask about the situation.

Courtney smiled into the phone, “The matter will be resolved soon. Let’s meet somewhere!”

Since this matter could not be resolved in the simplest way, there was only one solution. After Courtney agreed on the address, she called Shane.

At this time, Shane was still in the hospital taking care of his injured sister. However, when he received Courtney’s call, he still rushed to where she was.

“Courtney, why did you call me so anxiously?”

Courtney fell into his arms sadly and pointed at her own face with tears in her eyes, “Shane, look, I was beaten up just now, and she even threatened to kill me.”

When Shane saw this, his heart ached as he caressed her face. When he saw the red and swollen sides of her face, he was furious.

“Who dared to do this to you? Tell me, I’ll settle the score with her.”

Courtney cried pitifully, “It’s Michelle. She was the one who made me steal the drafts and caused your sister to end up like this. Now that the truth is out, she still wants to get rid of me. I’m really scared.”

Courtney understood Shane’s character too well. As long as she suffered a little, he would definitely fly into a rage and help her vent her anger.

‘As expected, after these words were spoken, Shane became agitated. He grabbed Courtney’s hand and asked, “Courtney, tell me, how should we deal with this woman? If she dares to harm you, I’ll kill her first.”

This was what Courtney wanted to hear. After hearing his declaration, she nodded awkwardly, “If I don’t get rid of her, then I’ll be the one implicated and killed in the future.”

“Courtney, ask this woman out. I have a way to deal with this.” Shane had long gotten used to handling these matters. He was even the one who had arranged for Madeline to be burned alive five years ago.

For Courtney, he really could do anything.

Courtney said deliberately, “Actually, she’s asking me to meet her now, but it’s almost midnight. I’m afraid, so that’s why I called you.”

Courtney then gave Shane the address she was meeting Michelle at, indirectly asking him to deal with Michelle.

If this problem could be resolved peacefully, Courtney wouldn’t have thought of making a move either. It was just that these matters now involved her own safety.

If Michelle wanted her to die, she would definitely make her die first.

Shane noted down the address of the meeting place and consoled Courtney, before going off on his own.

In order to find an opportunity for Shane, Courtney had arranged to meet Michelle at a restaurant on the top of a tall building. In addition, there was almost no one around in the wee hours of the morning, so it was convenient for Shane to make a move.

The next morning, there was news of Michelle committing suicide by jumping off a building. It said that she could not withstand the pressure of public opinion, so she chose to use this method to end her life.

‘When Madeline saw this report, she was also very shocked. Initially, she wanted to see the two of them turn against each other, but she didn’t expect Courtney to be so cruel to use such a method.

If she had relented last night, then Michelle would not have died.

“Why? Are you regretting it?”

Augustus’ questioning voice came from behind her. He must have seen the news.

Madeline didn’t know how to answer him. She just felt that if she had used another method back then, a life would have been saved. After all, the person she wanted to target wasn’t Michelle.

“There’s something fishy about Michelle’s death. Such an ambitious person wouldn’t have chosen this way to end her life.”

Augustus sneered coldly, “That’s why you feel sorry for her. However, you were very determined last night. You didn’t think that your decision would affect a person’s life?”

Madeline was displeased. Augustus was obviously implying something. “Mr. Astor, what do you mean by this? Don’t tell me you know that there is a hidden motive behind this?”

Augustus shrugged. He had no intention of clarifying the matter. He merely replied coldly, “If you don’t like me meddling in your business, why are you asking so many questions?”

Madeline was about to be angered to death by him. Did this man have to be so petty? She had only grumbled about it, but he bore a grudge even now.

After all, as someone involved in this matter, she might have been blindsided. As an outsider, Augustus might have a clearer view of the matter..
