If it wasn’t because she was confident, Courtney wouldn’t have asked her out. Moreover, if the designs came from someone else, perhaps it would draw some doubts. After all, the designs were fantastic.
However, if it came from the top designer, Michelle, the situation would naturally be different.

“Michelle, you’ve misunderstood me. I didn’t ask you to use this design draft. I just thought that you could reference it. Fashion design requires inspiration. You can take it back and think about it.”
Courtney didn’t know whether Michelle had plagiarized before, but she knew that Michelle really wanted these drafts right now.

After listening to Courtney, Michelle, who had spoken righteously previously, silently stretched out her hand and placed all the design drafts into her bag, even though she said she didn’t want them.
‘These were Willow’s design drafts, and punishing her was a good thing.

“You can’t tell anyone about this. This implicates my personal credibility, including my future career as a designer. If anything happens to me because of this, you will suffer too.”

“Michelle, you can rest assured. The fact that I am able to bring this to you with my own hands bears witness to my sincerity.”

“Then I’m curious. You seem to hate this Willow. What’s the grudge between you two?”

Courtney thought for a moment and said, “Probably the same reason why you hate her; because she stole what I wanted.”

Courtney knew that Michelle wanted the title of the most outstanding designer in the country, and what she wanted… was Augustus.

‘When Michelle heard this, she was very satisfied. She stretched out her hand and smiled. “In that case, we can work together for a long time in the future. Also, do you know the true appearance of this mysterious woman?”
‘Willow was the most mysterious person in the industry. Even when she was presented with awards, her assistant would always be the one making an appearance. Hence, everyone in the industry was curious about her looks.
Moreover, she had always kept a low profile and seldom participated in gatherings, so almost no one had interacted with her.

Madeline naturally couldn’t appear publicly. Otherwise, if Courtney, this vicious person, knew that she was still alive, she would definitely hurt her.

In order to protect her daughter and herself, Madeline never revealed her real name to anyone.

Now that Courtney had bumped into her, she knew that her identity would be exposed sooner or later.

Courtney sent news about Madeline to Michelle, but she couldn’t find out anything about what happened to Madeline over the past five years. She didn’t know if there was someone who was helping this woman behind the scenes or not.
“Courtney, I won’t disappoint you. Just wait and see. Also, this year’s Best Fashion Design Award will definitely be mine.”

“I look forward to your masterpiece, Michelle.”

Madeline had been busy designing for Mrs. Astor these past few days. After she was done, she still had to wait on Agustus when she returned home. It seemed as though this father and mother pair were working together to harm her.
If this wasn’t arranged by the headquarters, Madeline would never have accepted this job designing Mrs. Astor’s clothes.

The only thing that comforted her was that every day when she returned home, she would see Aurora being accompanied by Hugo.

Although she knew that her daughter was cheerful, how strong and cheerful could a five-year-old girl constantly be?

This child needed someone to keep her company and take care of her too. For the sake of her daughter, she had to give up some things.

“Mommy is back!” the two cuties said in unison and ran towards Madeline.

Augustus was speechless at their behavior because these two brats looked disappointed whenever they saw him, yet they were so enthusiastic at the sight of Madeline.

It was fine because Aurora was her daughter, but Hugo was his son after all. Wasn’t this a little too much?

Madeline was also getting used to bringing double portions back for the two children. She took out two pieces of cake and said, “Look what Mommy brought for you.”

The two children stood in front of her expectantly, completely melting Madeline’s heart. Although her days here were a little depressing, she was still happy.

She didn’t have to worry about her daughter not having anyone to accompany her after school, and most importantly, she did not have to worry about her being lonely in school.

Although Augustus was despicable, he was still useful.

“Didn’t you buy me a share?”

Augustus was merely venting his frustration. Madeline had never looked at him properly ever since she had entered the house.

Her eyes were locked on the two children, ignoring him, the head of the family.

Madeline shot him a disdainful look. “Can you be more mature? This cake is for the children. Are you going to eat it too?”

‘Where did this woman get the impression that he wanted to eat the cake? Didn’t she understand that he was just feeling unhappy?

In the end, seeing how unhappy he was, Madeline could only take out a piece of chocolate from her bag; she unwrapped it and placed it near his mouth.

“Just eat this. Also, when will your hands recover?”

What she meant was that she wanted to leave the Astor mansion.

‘What was wrong with him? Why did this woman always look like she wanted to escape from him?

“Haven’t you heard that broken bones take at least three months to heal?”

Madeline was a little speechless. “Didn’t you say that fractures are easy to recover from? It won’t take three months.”

“am I bargaining with you for a few months? If you don’t want to take care of your savior and want to be an ungrateful person, I have no objections.”

Augustus had never complained, so when he said this, it sounded very unlike him.

Madeline was dumbfounded. What did she say wrong? Why did he have to talk about her like that? It wasn’t that she was ungrateful; she was just asking a few questions.

“Tm sorry. Pretend I didn’t say anything just now. I was wrong. I’ll definitely take care of you here until you’ve fully recovered. Are you satisfied now, Mr. Astor?”

“That’s more like it
His tone was cold, but his eyebrows were raised. This was a proud expression, which made Madeline unsure whether she should laugh or cry.

As the two little cuties saw their parents interacting with each other, they could not help but burst into laughter.

“It’s still Daddy who can subdue Mommy. Their relationship as a husband and wife needs to improve faster.” Hugo was eager for the two of them to get married.
Aurora chimed in. “Aren’t you just spouting nonsense? If Dad wasn’t so powerful, we wouldn’t be here!”

“Cough cough!”

These innocent words almost made the two adults choke on their own saliva.

Of course, the person Madeline couldn’t figure out the most was still Aurora. This daughter of hers was too mature. How could she say such nonsense?

Madeline decided that she had to start over with her daughter and teach her properly, so that she won’t say such things again in the future..
