Who would have expected Augustus, the most powerful man in the capital city, and always a man of his word, to say something like that?
Didn't that mean that he had decided that Madeline was going to be his future wife?
Because he totally didn't need to use such words to scare Courtney.
This time, the two sisters' hearts were filled with mixed feelings. Courtney was petrified, and she stood there frozen.
In the end, she had no choice but to retreat under Augustus' gaze. "Mr. Astor, I gave birth to Hugo for you, but you refused to give me a status. Now, you're defending this person who just appeared."
Courtney's anger could burn a person to death. Madeline had gone and easily taken what she wanted.
"If you leave the Astor mansion now, you will still have some dignity left. Don't force me to chase you away. I only feel that you are a failure as Hugo's mother!"
