Madeline had always hated it when people threatened her. Besides, what was so great about Augustus? She didn’t like him at all.

She had reluctantly accepted his arrangement because he was helping her daughter, but if he still tried to take advantage of her, she would retaliate. She wasn’t someone who would submit to adversity.

“That’s more like it. Although T’ll feed you and your son three meals a day, you have to follow my rules. If I’m in a bad mood one day and don’t want to cook, we’ll buy takeout.”

“Fine. You call the shots on your territory.”

Augustus had no idea how he was good-naturedly agreeing to this woman’s rude request.

Although he was the one who was rude first, she managed to turn the situation around.

Madeline nodded satisfactorily and waved goodbye at him before driving off.

“This woman is really infuriating!”

Augustus didn’t notice the smile on his face as he spoke. He looked at the kindergarten and felt assured about Aurora.

He had made all these concessions to ease his relationship with Hugo. This child had been irritable since he was young.

The child psychologist had said that if this continued, it would affect the child’s mental and physical health. There was a high possibility that he would suffer from violent tendencies, and in more serious cases, this would result in dissociative identity disorders.
Otherwise, Augustus, who had always been cold and aloof, wouldn’t have been willing to lower himself to beg this greedy woman.

However, he quite liked this feeling.

Madeline received a call shortly after she parted ways with Augustus.

“Hi, are you Aurora’s mother?”

Hearing the serious tone of the other party, Madeline immediately stopped the car by the curbside. “Yes, I’m her mother. May I know who you are?”

“This is the main office of Astor Corporation’s kindergarten. Because your child has been at odds with the other children since she arrived at school, and has even done some strange things which have affected the other children, we have already sent her elsewhere.”
Madeline was very worried when she heard the first part, but she became furious when she heard that her daughter was sent to another place.

“How can your school do things like this? If there’s really something wrong with my daughter, you can just let me pick her up. How can you secretly send her to another place? Is this how the Astor Corporation bullies people?”

Madeline’s first reaction was that the Astor Corporation’s people were arrogant, so this kindergarten was also domineering. They actually dared to send her daughter away!

Fortunately, she had taught Aurora to be a tough girl. Otherwise, she would definitely be crying right now.

“Anyway, the reason we’re calling now is to inform you to pick her up at this place!” The other party sounded impatient, and after hanging up, he sent her the address.

Madeline immediately located the address. Fortunately, the location was not far. Thinking that her precious daughter was here, she immediately changed her route.

Of course, she didn’t forget to scold Augustus. Hence, she called Augustus when she was driving.

It had only been twenty minutes since they parted, yet this woman had unexpectedly called him. She was probably going to beg for forgiveness, or was already charmed by him.

Augustus picked up the phone unhurriedly. “What’s wrong? We’ve only been apart for such a short time, are you…”
“Augustus, you b*stard! You’ve gone too far. Do you think you’re so great, just because you’re rich? Let me tell you, if you hurt my daughter’s young heart, I will fight you to the death.”
She wasn’t begging for mercy, nor was she mesmerized by him. She was cursing at him.

Augustus was confused. His expression was livid as he asked, “Madeline, what is wrong with you? Do you know who you are talking to right now?”

“Of course I know. I’m talking to the most shameless man in Washington DC right now. Also, let me warm you, don’t let your subordinates be too arrogant. One second ago, you said nicely that you wanted Aurora to be in your corporation’s kindergarten, but in the blink of an eye, you got someone to chase
her out. You’re just toying with us, right?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“You dare to do it but don’t dare to admit it? How dare you send my daughter somewhere else. I’m telling you, I’m going to pick her up right now. If she has any psychological trauma in the future, you’re dea

Madeline was in a foul mood and didn’t give Augustus a chance to speak. She ended the call and continued driving.
Augustus’s grip on the phone hadn’t changed. The chauffeur and assistant were stunned, even though they hadn’t heard the conversation clearly.

However, they saw the other party hang up first.

‘What was even more amazing was that they heard the other party scolding him. True enough, a woman was the scariest being on earth.

Augustus put down his phone stiffly and asked coldly, “Are you itching to lose your jobs?”

The two of them immediately looked straight ahead, not daring to look at his expression.

Although Augustus was furious, he calmed down quickly and mulled over Madeline’s anger.

This crazy woman said that he had chased Aurora out of school, and even said that she was going to pick her up now. She definitely wasn’t just trying to pick a fight out of nothing, right?

Did something really happen?

‘Augustus was furious as he dialed the school’s number. The principal told him that Aurora had been obediently staying at school and was getting along well with her classmates.

And because she was especially lively and cheerful, many children enjoyed playing with her. This meant that Madeline had been mistaken.

But for her to say it so angrily, it must be true.

Augustus suddenly thought of something terrible. He shouted, “Turn around and investigate Madeline’s whereabouts!”

His assistant, Gerald York, said awkwardly, “President Astor, it’s almost time for our meeting with the client for the contract review. Isn’t it inappropriate for us to not show up?”

Augustus was furious. “What? Do I need you to teach me how to work? Do I need to call you President York?”

Gerald was so frightened that he shook his head. It was as if President Astor had eaten gunpowder today. They had to be careful to avoid being implicated.

“I wouldn’t dare. I’ll investigate Miss West’s situation immediately.”

An ominous feeling rose in Augustus’ heart. He was curious as to what had happened.

Could it be that someone wanted to deal with Madeline? He had already investigated this woman before. Apart from having some conflict with her family, she didn’t have any grudges with other people.

Very quickly, Gerald said, “President Astor, after tracking the car’s location, we discovered that Miss West is currently approaching a newly-built mall. This mall will only be open in ten days. Currently, it’s closed.”
