Chapter 28: Completely Disregarding Him

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Originally, Mrs. Astor had made up her mind that no matter what they did, she would never forgive Madeline for her disrespectful behavior.

Especially since she had turned violent at her house. If she forgave her so easily, wouldn’t it be letting her off too easily?

However, how could she bear to take off this dress? She would definitely be the center of attention tonight by wearing it.

Moreover, she had to go back to her alma mater as the spokesperson tomorrow. If she wore that gorgeous suit, she would look even better, and it would improve her reputation even more.
Pamela naturally understood what she was thinking, and she couldn’t help but smile. “Of course, if Mrs. Astor is still unhappy, we can only report it to the headquarters and punish Willow. After all, we must ensure our distinguished customers are satisfied too.”
Mrs. Astor was gratified to hear that everything was planned with her in mind. It appeased her greatly.

Together with the makeover from the make-up artist, all her anger was gone.

“Tm not that kind of petty person. Now that I’ve seen how sincere you are, I’ll let this matter go. As for whether or not Willow plagiarized, I’ll let you settle the matter by yourselves. I just want these two sets of clothes.”
“Of course. We are deeply sorry for bringing you such a bad experience. We will continue to improve, and we look forward to your support!”

After solving the problem perfectly, Pamela left with her assistant.

After Pamela got into the car, the smile on her face disappeared immediately. Their company had never had such a serious case of plagiarism. Of course, she trusted her own employees.
“We’ll start a thorough investigation immediately. From the day Willow started designing these outfits, I’ll need the most detailed information on everyone who’s been in contact with her studio.”
The assistant immediately nodded. “Understood, Pamela. I will settle it as soon as possible.”

Fortunately, the President of BELLA had an inseparable relationship with Madeline. Otherwise, they would definitely suspect her.

Although Pamela was Madeline’s manager, she was also her most trusted friend in the city. Hence, when Madeline was faced with such a major complaint, she went to handle it quickly.
When Madeline returned home at night, she looked lifeless. She had investigated for an entire day, but she couldn’t find any leads, and she felt restless.

Usually, Madeline would bring food for the two children when she came back. However, she came back today with a hostile aura that surprised even Augustus.

Aurora knew her mother well. When she saw that something was wrong today, she immediately reminded Hugo.

“Let me remind you kindly not to provoke that woman tonight. She exudes an evil aura that can kill.”

Madeline rubbed her temples and looked helplessly at Aurora. “Aurora, I’m not deaf. Your voice is like a loudspeaker. I’m sure everyone in the living room heard you.”

Hearing this, Aurora immediately looked up. As expected, all the servants in the living room were staring at her.

Although it was a little embarrassing, she was still a child, so her skin was thicker. She lowered her head and did her homework.

Hugo frowned and didn’t dare speak to his mother. He could only turn to Augustus.

“Daddy, can’t you coax your wife? I’ve already brought her back for you. You’ll have to depend on yourself for the rest.”

Hugo looked at his father in disappointment, which only amused Augustus instead.

However, if he really didn’t take action, Hugo would become so anxious that he would cry.

Finally, under his son’s pleading gaze, he asked Madeline, “What happened? Why are you frowning?”

Madeline shook her head. She didn’t want to talk to this person who also irritated her.

“I’m not in the mood to talk. I’ll go upstairs first. You don’t have to call me down for dinner!”

And so, she walked away as though she was in her own home and did not even look at him.

Augustus felt that this woman had forgotten that he was the head of the family.

When Madeline reached the stairs, she suddenly received a call, so she turned around and prepared to leave the house.

Augustus couldn’t take it anymore. He strode forward and stopped her. “Hey, are you challenging my authority? Can’t you see that I’m asking you a question?”

In the end, Madeline didn’t care about him at all. She just said calmly, “My friend is looking for me. I’ll be back later.”

“What do you take the Astor mansion for? You can’t come and go as you please.”

“Weren’t you the one who asked us to move in? Besides, I have something urgent to attend to. We’ll talk later.”

Madeline then strode out of the house. This was a challenge to Augustus’ authority. No woman in the city would dare to ignore him.

However, Madeline did it.

And it wasn’t to attract his attention. She really despised him.

Augustus felt as though he had been defeated. He raised his head and met the disdainful gazes of the two children.

The insult was so strong that it made Augustus furious. In the end, his gaze fell on Hugo.

“Your mother has been kidnapped, why are you still in a daze?”

In other words, since you brought her back, you have to protect her yourself.

Hugo might not be good at other things, but he was good at being clingy. Of course, it also depended on who the other party was.

His mother was his life!

Hugo dashed out like a bolt of lightning, causing Augustus to marvel at how his son could be trained to be an athlete.

There was a black sports car parked outside the Astor mansion, and two people were discussing something in the car.

“Maddy, I’ll help you find out the culprit behind the plagiarism case. I’ll also make up for your loss, but there are only five days left until the competition. Do you have enough time?”
Favian was the one who spoke. He had started investigating after learning that Madeline had been framed. He was worried that she would have to bear the consequences this time, so he wanted to share her burden.
Madeline said gratefully, “It’s not that serious yet. Since Mrs. Astor didn’t pursue the matter further, I can take my time to find the culprit.”

“It’s just that I feel it’s too much of a pity for you to give away the competition pieces that you spent a whole year working on.”

“I didn’t think that I would be this unlucky and be met with such an incident. It’s already fortunate that I was able to resolve this issue smoothly. As for the competition, it would be best if I can make it in time. If not, I can only wait another year.”
Madeline had been through countless storms, so she was used to these difficulties and setbacks.

To her, being healthy and alive, and having her daughter by her side, was sufficient.

Favian felt aggrieved on her behalf, “The current chief designer of HOPE, Michelle, has received a lot of praise from the fashion industry and many big companies. She has made a name for herself. She is most likely going to be the winner of this year’s Best Fashion Design Award..”
