Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

This news surprised Augustus. He was curious. Did someone really use such a method to deceive her?

Also, no one should know that he had arranged for Aurora to attend Astor Corporation’s kindergarten. What was going on?

Augustus immediately called Madeline, but she refused to pick up. She was too angry to talk to him.

“Let’s hurry over!”

Although they didn’t know what was wrong with President Astor today, the two of them didn’t dare to ask. In any case, as long as they followed his instructions, they wouldn’t be in the wrong.

Augustus didn’t know why he felt flustered. Although he said that he hated this woman, he didn’t want her to get hurt.

Madeline rushed to the given address as fast as she could. When she saw that it was just a mall that was about to open, a strange feeling crept into her heart.

Just as she was still in doubt, the other party called again.

“Miss West, your child is inside this mall. Please come and get her quickly.”

Madeline questioned, “Why did your school choose such a place?”

Although she was anxious, she wasn’t stupid enough to believe everything the other party said. Seeing that the situation was different, she naturally had to wait.

However, just as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of a child crying in the mall. At the same time, Aurora’s voice came from the other end of the phone, confirming that her daughter was inside.
Madeline gritted her teeth. “You’re really vicious!” She hung up the phone and ran inside.

Although she had seen some unread messages, she had no desire to open them when she saw that they were from Augustus.

However, Madeline didn’t realize that someone had locked the door behind her when she rushed in. The mall was empty, and there was no one in sight, but she could hear the child crying.

“Aurora, where are you? Answer me quickly when you hear Mommy’s voice.”

In the huge shopping mall, she could only hear the echo of her own voice. As the shopping mall was not officially operational, all the elevators were shut off. Just as she was panicking, she heard a sound coming from the third floor.
“Aurora, is that you? What’s going on? Are you guys from the kindergarten or kidnappers?”

Madeline was angry, but she could only think of finding her daughter first. She quickly ran up to the third floor and saw a child curled up in the corner, crying.

Her figure was exactly the same as Aurora’s. She walked forward and asked carefully, “Aurora, is that you? Don’t be afraid, Mommy’s here!”

However, when Madeline walked up to her and squatted down, the man who was hiding behind her suddenly raised his wooden stick and hit her neck.

Madeline was caught off guard and didn’t even have time to react before she was knocked unconscious on the ground. This crying child wasn’t Aurora, but a child that Courtney had brought here.

Only then did Courtney swagger out from a corner. She sneered. “You’re really as stupid as you were five years ago, to be tricked by such a method.”

Very quickly, the person holding the wooden stick came forward to claim credit. He was a bootlicker called Shane Hart. He smiled and said, “Courtney, I have already knocked this woman out. What should I do next?”
Courtney looked at the safety railing of the third floor and said sinisterly, “Shane, you’re so good to me. Help me deal with this annoying woman. Push her over the barrier, I want her to fall to her death.”
She recalled how this woman had approached Augustus and Hugo the moment she had returned.

If she allowed their relationship to continue developing, she would lose her status.

Moreover, she had to completely bury the secret from five years ago. Once it was exposed, she would be finished.

Shane had long been bewitched by Courtney. He listened to everything she said and immediately went to grab Madeline, dragging her towards the barriers.

Courtney just looked on coldly. She didn’t manage to kill Madeline in the fire back then, but now, she was going to see Madeline die in front of her own eyes.

However, Augustus had already reached the first floor by the time Shane lifted Madeline up. Because there was no one else there, Augustus caught sight of the two people on the third floor.

‘What scared him even more was that a stranger was pushing the unconscious Madeline down.

“Hey! Who are you? Stop right now!”

Echoes filled the empty space, following Augutus’ shout. Courtney, who was on the third floor, was so startled that she started to tremble.

“Why… Why is Augustus here? Shane, hurry up and push her down, then run away as fast as you can and lure these people away.”

Even at this time, Courtney still didn’t forget to get rid of Madeline. After all, this was a rare opportunity. It wasn’t easy to trick this woman into coming here. If she lost this opportunity, she would have to put in more effort in the future.
In any case, Shane was obedient. Letting him do this and then taking the blame was not a problem at all.

Although Shane was flustered and anxious, in order to make his sweetheart happy, he gritted his teeth, grabbed Madeline’s leg, and flipped her over.

Augustus had asked Gerald and the chauffeur to chase after Shane, so he was the only one left downstairs.

Hence, when Madeline fell, he rushed forward and caught her accurately. At the same time, his arms were hurt because of the impact, but still, he didn’t let her go.

Augustus landed on the ground with her and reached out to touch her neck. There was blood on her neck. He endured the pain and carried her out, but his arms were getting numb.

Augustus yelled, “All of you, come back! Don’t chase anymore! It’s more important to get medical aid now.”

Augustus’s arms had been fractured by the impact, and he was relying on his strong willpower to carry Madeline.

‘When Gerald and the chauffeur heard this, they ran back quickly, without daring to slack off.

Augustus immediately asked the driver to send the two of them to the hospital. After having a scan, it was confirmed that Augustus’ condition wasn’t good. Both of his arms were fractured, and his ribs were almost broken from the impact.
One could only imagine how dangerous the situation was.

Still, he had risked his life to save her.

When Augustus rushed to the mall, he saw Madeline’s car parked outside. When he saw that the door was locked, he thought that it was impossible for her to enter inside, but after some thought, he felt that something was amiss.
In the end, Augustus instructed someone to pry open the lock with a wrench. The three of them then walked in to look for her. If they didn’t enter just in time, something terrible would have happened.
Augustus shuddered at the thought of this. Who had this woman offended to make someone want to kill her?

Madeline only woke up in pain in the afternoon. She opened her eyes weakly and realized that she was in the hospital. She tried to sit up but felt so much pain that she could only lie back down.
