Chapter 29: You Might Not Be Able to Compensate Me Sufficiently if You Scare Me!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Madeline was curious about who was behind all these incidents, starting from the time when she was led to the mall and almost killed.

And now, her work was being plagiarized. Who knew about this matter?

Madeline suddenly remembered that when she met Mrs. Astor to take down her requests for her outfits, Courtney was there too.

Could all of this be related to her?

“Eavian, you reminded me. As long as I continue to investigate all the people who have met Michelle before she published her work, I’ll definitely find something.”

“Leave this matter to me. Also, when will you be able to move out of the Astor mansion? I was surprised when I didn’t manage to find you at your house today. Even if you want to repay the favor, you don’t have to stay here.”
As aman, Favian definitely knew what Augustus was thinking.

Why would Madeline need to take care of him? Did the Astor family lack helpers?

He just wanted to use this method to make her stay. More likely than not, he already had his eyes on Madeline.

Augustus, who had never been close to women in the past, now had a different feeling for Madeline.

Favian had to be careful when facing such a formidable opponent.

“Eavian, this isn’t simply about repaying the favor. I think that this arrangement is beneficial for Aurora’s growth. Anyway, I know what I’m doing. When the time is right, I will naturally leave.”

Favian was about to reply when he heard a knock on his car door, startling him.

There were many people who would try to scam car owners, but it was rare to find someone who would do so even when they were parked outside someone’s house. Furthermore, when he poked his head out to take a look, he saw that it was a little boy.
Madeline quickly opened the car door when she heard the child’s voice. Hugo was lying in front of the car pitifully. He was the one who had knocked on the car.

“Hugo, are you alright? Why did you come out?”

Madeline’s heart ached. Perhaps it was because she had been in contact with him for so long that she now had greater feelings for him.

‘When she saw him lying on the ground, her first reaction was to hug him and comfort him.

“Mommy, I’m fine. I just missed you. When Daddy saw you coming out, he chased me out. If you don’t go back, he won’t let me in. I’m hungry and want to go home for dinner.”

‘When it came to lying, Hugo could be considered to be a pro.

Favian wanted to discuss with her about moving out, but now that he saw Hugo, his suggestion was instantly dispelled.

“Wait for me to go back and deal with him!”

Madeline apologized to Favian. “Favian, I’ll have to trouble you to help me with this troublesome matter. I’ll bring the child in first.”

Just as Madeline tured around, Favian suddenly said, “Maddy, he’s Courtney’s son. It’s not good for you to get close to him.”

It was as if warning bells had rung in Madeline’s head. How could she forget how much she hated that woman?

Moreover, if she snatched Courtney’s son away, it would be a good opportunity to prevent her from marrying into the Astor family.

Because of this, Courtney would surely throw out all means to deal with her.

“Thank you, Favian. I know what I’m doing. I won’t complicate things.”

Favian could only wam her. As for how the situation progressed, he could only wait and see.

‘As Madeline carried the little boy in, Augustus couldn’t help but give his son an approving look. However, he had no idea what his son had said in order to bring her back.

Madeline couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. She only instructed the kitchen to set the table for the meal. When she was around, she was like the mistress of the house, arranging everything properly.

After putting both children to sleep. Madeline stayed downstairs, tidying up some documents. She sat cross-legged on the couch, her eyes fixated on the laptop. Soon, she attracted Augustus’ attention.

Perhaps it was because he had been paying attention to her changes today, so he felt that something was amiss.

Madeline carefully studied news about Michelle on the Internet. It was said that knowing yourself and your enemy was the key to victory, but she had never paid attention to her opponents in the past.

For Madeline, only the works that she created from her heart were the best, and she didn’t want to learn from other people’s works.

“What are you doing?”

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind her. Madeline was so frightened that she almost flung her laptop away.

Augustus continued speaking, “You are acting like you have a guilty conscience and doing something sneakily. Aren’t your actions too obvious?”

What nonsense was he spouting?

Madeline cursed him in her heart, then said angrily, “It’s a little too much for you to suddenly appear behind someone and scare them like this. I’m very timid. You might not be able to compensate me sufficiently if you scare me.”
“What is there in the city that our Astor family cannot afford to pay for?”

Augustus obviously didn’t take her words to heart.

Madeline said helplessly, “Mr. Astor, I feel that you need to understand some things. There are many things in this world that money cannot buy. For example, time, life, and your little son upstairs. They are all priceless.”
Augustus replied stubbornly, “That’s not what I meant!”

“Ha! Then you must be referring to me. Let me tell you then, even if you spend every single cent that the Astor family has, you won’t be able to afford me.”

“I don’t want you, even if you give yourself to me!”

Augustus’ stubbom attitude pleased Madeline, and she couldn’t help but give him a thumbs-up.

“That’s great. Don’t worry, there won’t be a day when I give myself to you!”

Augustus frowned and his expression turned solemn. Madeline retracted her gaze, as she didn’t want to hurt her savior’s heart.

Seeing that Madeline had stopped bickering, Augustus walked over and sat down beside her. When he was walking over, he had caught a glimpse of her laptop screen.

“Why are you so interested in the brand HOPE? What exactly is your job?”

Augustus hadn’t found out anything, so he was curious.

‘What he was even more curious about was why Madeline’s information was hidden. What was so special about an ordinary person like her?

“T’m just working for someone. I remember that you have quite a few fashion brands under you, Mr. Astor, and you’ve worked with HOPE before. I wonder what your evaluation of our country’s top designer, Michelle, is?”
Augustus, on the other hand, looked disdainful. “How dare someone just give herself such a title? She is merely the designer of a company. How can she be considered the best in the country?”

This sounded awkward. After all, Madeline had read what the article in the fashion magazine wrote. However, in Augustus’ mind, she was nothing at all.

Before Madeline could continue, Augustus added. “If we are talking about the most outstanding designer, I think it has to be Willow. This person’s designs are brilliant and unique. However, she is also very mysterious. My company had invited her to work with us before, but she rejected us.. I wonder who
that arrogant lass is, to have the audacity to reject collaborating with the Astor Corporation!”
