Chapter 31: Something Unexpected

Augustus found it strange. Why was it that he was always favoring this little girl, and his heart always sympathized with her?

In the past, President Astor was known to be cold and heartless, but now, he was conquered by these two females.

Aurora asked pitifully, “Daddy, are you sure you want to tattle on me?”

Augustus had no choice but to pick her up and carry her. Her soft, sweet voice directly tugged at his heartstrings, making it impossible for him to scare her.

“Forget it, just pretend that I didn’t say anything!”

Even her mother couldn’t do anything to Aurora, let alone Augustus.

Augustus instructed Gerald, after he sent the two kids to the school bus. “Investigate what that woman has been up to.”

Gerald couldn’t help but smile slyly. “President Astor, you have finally been enlightened, and so are you now deciding to woo the child’s mother?”

Augustus almost punched him, but instead of doing so, he shot him an angry glare.

“This kind of joke isn’t funny at all. I have to know what this woman who lives in my house has done outside, in order to avoid bringing trouble to my son and I.”

Gerald pretended that he understood and nodded firmly. “I’ll go investigate now. President Astor, please wait patiently for the results.”

Augustus knew that there was something different about Gerald’s gaze, but he couldn’t say it out loud. Hence, he could only let him leave with a strange expression.

Did all these people think that he had some sort of relationship with Madeline?

Madeline sped to the company. When she arrived, Sandra had already been detained and her face was filled with panic and guilt.

Because of what she had done this time, she had almost caused the top fashion label to suffer, and almost ruined an outstanding designer’s career.

She even caused Madeline to be unable to participate in this year’s clothing competition; that could be considered a heinous crime.

In order to save Sandra some face, only Pamela and Madeline were in the office.

“Sandra, you are one of my assistants, and you have always been conscientious. I don’t understand why you would do such a thing. I also don’t believe that it was because you received benefits from the other party, so what exactly happened?”
Sandra did not dare to reveal the truth about her brother and could only take on the blame herself. “I only took some pictures because I really liked Willow’s designs, but I don’t know how they leaked out.”

But Pamela laughed. “Sandra, you’re really not a good liar. You’ve been in BELLA for a few years now already, how could you not know our rules? You’ve always been by her side and have never done such a thing before. You can’t possibly make a mistake this time.”
“Pamela, I only made this mistake because I liked the designs too much this time. No matter how much I have to compensate, I’m willing to accept it.”

Sandra was stubborn and refused to talk about the incident. However, Pamela took out her phone and started calculating.

“If you want to compensate us, that’s fine too. Clothes that are produced under Willow’s name are priced at two hundred thousand dollars apiece. Mrs. Astor has four sets, so that’s eight hundred thousand in total.”
‘When Sandra heard these numbers, she couldn’t remain calm anymore; however, Pamela continued calculating.

“Also, for the past two years, all of Willow’s works have been awarded gold medals. Each medal comes with a six-digit figure cash prize. Furthermore, these award-winning outfits are collectors’ items. Last year, two sets alone cost close to a million dollars. However, we won’t seck damages for
psychological trauma and production costs.”

Pamela’s hands moved quickly on the calculator on her phone, making Sandra so nervous that she could not breathe.

She certainly wouldn’t be able to bear such a huge amount of money, even if she worked for several lifetimes.

Madeline, on the other hand, didn’t say a word; she simply allowed the experienced Pamela to help her settle this matter.

In the end, Pamela said, “Since you’ve worked for the company for so many years, I’ll fix the compensation amount to three million dollars. You should know that we’ve already given you a discount.”

Sandra’s entire body crumpled onto the chair. For a moment, she did not know what to say.

Pamela added. “Don’t tell me you think that you can resolve such a huge matter with just an apology, or do you think you can take it all on yourself? If you agree to it now, I will invite a lawyer over.”

Pamela was the backbone of the company. Now that this had happened, she had to do everything she could to solve the problem with her clients.

At the same time, she had to manage the employees in the company well.

Madeline chimed in. “Sandra, you’re only in your twenties. Are you really going to let yourself go to jail because of something like this? You can’t be stupid enough to take photos just because you like the designs. There must be some other reasons. You’d better state them clearly.”
Pamela’s expression showed that there was no room for discussion. The two womens’ auras completely crushed Sandra.

Pamela continued speaking, “I did some calculations. Actually, you only need to spend ten years in prison. You can choose to continue remaining silent. I’l call the police.”

Pamela had no intention of forcing her; she wanted her to make her own choice.

Sandra knelt at their feet and said pitifully, “Pamela, Willow, please don’t call the police. If I go to jail, what will happen to my family? My brother doesn’t have a job yet, and I still have to take care of them.”

Madeline seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, “Is this matter related to your disappointing brother? Did he ask you to steal my design drafts?”

After all, they had worked together for two years, so they had some understanding of Sandra’s situation. They knew that she spoiled her younger brother. For her to do such a thing, it was most likely instigated by him.
After being exposed, Sandra was very flustered and shook her head repeatedly. She could not implicate her beloved brother.

However, it was clear that she was hiding something, Pamela continued to push her limits. “If you still refuse to tell me, then I really have to call the police. I believe the police will definitely find out who the culprit is.”
After Pamela said that, she no longer had the patience to continue interrogating Sandra. Instead, she picked up her phone and prepared to calll the police.

‘Madeline chimed in. “I don’t want to force you either. We gave you a choice, but you refused to treasure it. There’s nothing more to talk about.”

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Sandra could only stop them and shout pitifully, “Tl tell you, I’ll tell you!”

Pamela and Madeline looked at each other, and both of them sat back down.

However, just as they thought that Sandra would tell them the truth, Sandra suddenly clenched her teeth and did something that shocked both of them. She rushed to the window and jumped off the building…
