Chapter 10: A Huge Grievance
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Courtney looked at the two people hugging each other, her eyes filled with hatred and malice.
This damned little b*stard!
She pretended to be excited and walked forward. She extended her hand to Hugo. “Hugo, come to Mommy,” she said.
Hugo trembled when he heard her voice. He flung her hand away fiercely. “You’re not my mother!” he shouted.
“Hugo… I gave birth to you after nine months of pregnancy. How could you… how could you acknowledge a woman with such bad intentions as your mother?!” Courtney called out.
Courtney seemed to have suffered a great grievance. She scolded Madeline while sobbing. “Madeline, I know you hate me. But Hugo is my child. You can’t snatch him away.”
Madeline’s lips twitched. She really didn’t want to see her poor acting skills.
She really couldn’t understand. Was Courtney really Hugo’s biological mother?
Why was Hugo so against her, and why didn’t Courtney care about him at all?
She saw through Courtney’s act at a glance, but Mrs. Astor hugged Courtney in heartache. “Courtney, don’t cry. You’ve given birth to a child for our Astor family, and you’re the only daughter-in-law I acknowledge! Hugo is your son, and no one can snatch him away!” she said and declared.
Madeline rolled her eyes. She couldn’t be bothered to watch this mother and daughter-in-law relationship play out.
“Mr. Astor, the truth hasn’t been verified yet. Can we bail the two kids out first?” she asked.
Augustus glanced at Madeline in surprise, before he nodded and instructed the lawyer. “Go and sign the bail…”
“No way!” Mrs. Astor interrupted with a scowl.
“Hugo was framed by this mother and daughter pair! He can go back, but this woman and her daughter must stay in the police station for investigation!” she stated.
“Mrs. Astor!” Madeline stood up, her eyes filled with anger. “What evidence do you have to prove that we framed Hugo Astor? Don’t forget that my daughter is also a victim!” She rebutted.
Hugo clenched his fists and stood up. He pointed at Courtney and shouted, “Clearly it was her who framed us!”
“My good grandson, you were deceived by this woman!” Mrs. Astor persuaded Hugo when she saw that he was defending Madeline, and became even more certain of her guess.
She resolutely informed him. “In any case, I won’t let those women with ulterior motives bewitch you ever again! They definitely can’t leave the police station!”
Madeline’s eyes lit up with fury as she spun around to face Augustus. She couldn’t contain her anger and asked, “Mr. Astor, are there still reasonable people in your family?”
Augustus frowned and was about to speak, when a commotion started outside.
“Chief? Why are you here?”
“Theard you arrested a kid? Let me see what happened!”
As those words were being spoken, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open.
A few figures appeared outside the door, and the first to enter was a man with a refined and elegant aura.
This man was extremely good-looking. He had a gentle, cold expression and a scholarly, refined temperament, as if he had walked straight out of a painting.
“Uncle Lewis!” Aurora called out.
Her eyes lit up as she ran towards the man and jumped into his arms.
“You naughty girl, slow down,” Favian Lewis said as he caught Aurora and stroked her nose lovingly. He looked down and saw the handcuffs on her hands. His eyes narrowed.
The division chief noticed his gaze and waved his hand. “Unlock the handcuffs! Such a young child, why is she wearing handcuffs?!” he asked.
Aurora wrapped her arms around Favian’s neck and pouted as she said, “Uncle Lewis, do you still want to be my father? Mom and I haven’t seen you in so long.”
“I’s my fault, Didn’t I rush here to see you as soon as I heard that you …” Favian’s smile was warm and gentle. He paused for a moment before his gentle gaze landed on Madeline, “and your mom were in trouble?”
In just a few sentences, Favian had revealed his feelings for Madeline.
Mrs. Astor’s expression was somewhat ugly.
If the Astor Family was the wealthiest family in the capital, then the Lewis Family was the top scholarly family in the city.
Although the Lewis family was not as powerful as the Astor family, they had a good reputation in the capital. The heir, Favian Lewis, was a well-known figure in the capital and had many dealings with politicians.
If Favian had feelings for Madeline, she wouldn’t have tried so hard to get together with Augustus.
So where did it all go wrong?
On the other hand, Courtney was unable to control the ugly expression on her face, as her heart was almost swallowed by jealousy.
How could this be?!
How did Madeline know Favian?
How could this b*tch be so lucky? Even Favian Lewis had fallen for her!
She hated it so much that she wished Madeline would die right now!
“Maddy, the lawyer is done. The car is waiting outside. Let’s go.” Favian smiled at Madeline warmly.
Before Madeline could speak, Augustus interjected. “Wait.”
Favian glanced at Augustus. Although his aura was elegant, his aura wasn’t inferior to Augustus’.
Their eyes met and they could see the hostility in each other’s eyes.
“Mrr, Astor, is there anything else?” Favian’s smile remained unchanged.
Augustus’ eyes landed on Madeline, who had retracted her claws and teeth the moment Favian had appeared. Then, his gaze landed on Aurora, who was hugging Favian’s neck tightly.
A strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart, and he couldn’t help but feel a little angry.
“Madeline, are you going to leave just like that?” Augustus asked..
