Chapter 9: Connotations

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“You!” Mrs. Astor also understood the meaning behind her words. Her anger soared and she raised her voice. “Indeed, a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow. The older one is ill-mannered, that’s why she raised such an uneducated little b*stard and dragged my grandson into such a mess!”

“Mrs. Astor, watch your words!” Madeline warned her.

Her face instantly turned cold. She respected the other party as an elder, but that didn’t mean she had to endure others insulting her daughter.

“The truth hasn’t been investigated yet, but Mrs. Astor is already slandering me and my daughter here. It seems like the Astor Family’s upbringing isn’t that great either!”

“You…” Mrs. Astor was so angry that her face turned ashen. She suddenly raised her arm, meaning to fiercely slap Madeline.

The motion of Mrs. Astor’s palm created a sharp wind that approached her. Madeline was caught off guard, and before she could react, her arm was suddenly pulled back.

She staggered a few steps and fell into an embrace.

The crisp, woody fragrance spread to the tip of her nose. Unlike the cool nature of the scent, this embrace was exceptionally warm, calming Madeline’s anxious heart.

Courtney’s expression darkened when she saw Augustus pulling Madeline into his arms.

She even saw Augustus in a brief trance just then!

He indeed acted differently towards Madeline!

She bit her lip and pulled Madeline out of his embrace. She complained pitifully. “Madeline! How could you do this?! The two children are still being interrogated. How could you still be in the mood to seduce Augustus?!”

Madeline sneered. “Which eye of yours saw me seducing him?”

“Madeline,” Courtney wiped the corners of her eyes, looking miserable, “I know you don’t like me. If you’re unhappy, come at me instead. But don’t use the children just to take revenge on me. They’re still young. They can’t have their lives ruined here,” she said in a pitiful manner.

Good heavens.

Courtney had just said that she wanted to marry into a wealthy family. Now, she directly accused her of framing the young heir of the Astor Family.

But what was she, Madeline, plotting after?

Her daughter was also currently sitting in the interrogation room!

“As the saying goes, even a vicious tiger won’t hurt its cubs. You’re also a mother, so why would you say such things?” Madeline mocked, looking at Courtney as if she was an idiot.

Courtney’s face stiffened, and she felt guilty for a moment.

“Mr. Astor, the police have agreed to let us meet the Young Sir,” a lawyer walked over and said in a low voice, breaking the tension between the two.

Madeline involuntarily took two steps forward. “What about Aurora?” she asked.

‘The lawyer glanced at Augustus, waiting for him to speak.

Augustus gazed at Madeline, seemingly deep in thought.

Madeline suppressed the anxiety in her heart and gazed at Augustus with determination. She couldn’t help but plead with him. “Mr. Astor, you have met Aurora. She isn’t such a child. There must be a misunderstanding.”

Augustus’ heart fluttered slightly.

This woman had always been sharp-tongued and arrogant in front of him, but now, she had lowered her head and had a sincere attitude.

Although she did not cry, the anxiety and worry in her eyes were so strong that they seemed to be real.

In comparison, even though Courtney’s eyes were red, there wasn’t the slightest trace of worry in her eyes.

It was obvious who was better.

In terms of exploitation, Courtney was more like a person who would do such a thing.

“Let’s meet them together.” Augustus agreed, nodding slightly and leaving first.

Madeline heaved a sigh of relief and hastily followed.

Courtney’s nails almost sank into her palms. She gritted her teeth and hated that she couldn’t kill Madeline right now.

The moment she entered Aurora’s interrogation room, the tears that Madeline had been holding back suddenly fell.

“Mommy!” Aurora sat on the chair with a dusty face. Her hands were handcuffed; her small and slender wrists tightly clasped by the cold, silver handcuffs. Madeline’s heart ached at the sight.

“Aurora!” Madeline said in relief as she ran over and hugged her daughter.

Aurora’s eyes were also red, but she broke into a big smile in order to comfort Madeline. “Mom, don’t worry. I’m fine!” She reassured her.

“Good girl,” Madeline said as she patted her head. “Don’t worry. Mom will get you out of here immediately.”

“Okay!” Aurora nodded heavily. Then, she put on a bitter face as she complained. “But the surveillance cameras in the cafe were destroyed. Otherwise, it would prove Hugo’s and my innocence.”

“What on Earth is going on?”

“Hugo said that Courtney asked him out, so the two of us arrived at the cafe. However, a woman told us that Courtney was somewhere else and asked us to follow her. Then, she fell down the stairs and the police came.” she explained.

Aurora narrated everything clearly. She leaned closer to Madeline and whispered, “Mom, Hugo said that Courtney must have framed us. I believe now that Courtney really isn’t his mother.”

Madeline’s expression turned cold.

She had already guessed that this matter had something to do with Courtney, and now she had basically confirmed that it was Courtney’s doing!

Since Courtney was courting death, then she, Madeline, would definitely not let her off!

“Ah— Get lost!” Hugo’s painful scream suddenly came from the interrogation room.

For some unknown reason, Madeline felt as if her heart had been brutally yanked by a pair of hands. It was so painful that her eyes stung.

She didn’t have time to think. She carried Aurora and ran towards the interrogation room.

It was a mess inside.

The small interrogation room was filled with people. Hugo was huddled in a corner, tearing his hair and screaming.

He looked irritable and uneasy. Both the table and chair had been thrown to the ground.

“Augustus, what should we do? Hugo is acting up again!” Courtney covered her mouth as she fell into Augustus’ arms.

However, Augustus flung her away in the next second. His expression was filled with disgust and hatred. “Shut up!” He ordered.

“Mr. Astor, what mental illness does your son have? In his current state, it is very likely that he will do something to harm others.” the police captain questioned with a serious expression on his face, already beginning to believe the charge of intentional murder.

Augustus pursed his lips tightly as he gazed at Hugo with a pained expression.

“Let me try. I’ve studied child psychology before!” Madeline offered.

But as she walked past Augustus, he grabbed her arm. “You’ll be injured,” he said.

“won’t.” Madeline smiled reassuringly at Augustus. She pushed his hand away and walked carefully towards Hugo.

“Hugo, it’s me,” Madeline said gently.

Hugo, who was in the corner, was like a trapped beast. His small body was curled up into a ball, looking very pitiful.

Courtney looked at Madeline approaching Hugo with a flash of disdain in her eyes.

‘This little b*stard had a strange illness since he was young. He would go crazy whenever he was provoked. When he was delirious, he could attack anyone. Even Augustus’ hand had been bitten until it was bleeding, several times.

Madeline really overestimated herself.

But that was good too. It would be best if this little b*stard went crazy and bit Madeline to death!

‘The scene of this son murdering his mother would truly be a good show.

Courtney’s eyes unconsciously revealed a smile, but in the next second, her face froze!

Hugo seemed to have heard Madeline’s voice. He raised his head in confusion and looked at her with red eyes.

Madeline approached him step by step with a gentle smile.

Then, in one go, she pulled him into her embrace!

A fragrant and warm scent wafted into his nose, and the embrace was extremely gentle and warm.

Hugo closed his eyes. This was how the mother in his dreams looked like.

He sobbed and called softly, “Mommy…”

Everyone was shocked!
