Female Novel
Chapter 1363
On the other side of town, Augus had been rushed to the hospital.
The doctor was just about to start an IV when the needle pierced his skin and Augus woke up abruptly.
Ripping the needle from his arm, he bolted downstairs without a second glance.
Back at the Sanders estate, the news of Augus's accident had reached Dylan and Arlene, who were
both preparing to head out.
But as they reached the front door, they saw a car pull up in the driveway, and to their surprise, Augus
stepped out.
Dylan couldn't shake the feeling that his father was carrying a heavy burden, as if a fierce storm of
emotions were raging within him.
"Honey, what's wrong? You look so worn out," Arlene said, rushing toward him, attempting to take his
coat.
But Augus didn't even glance at her, his gaze fixed on Dylan.
Dylan stood at the entrance, nodding with a detached tone, "Father."
In the next instant, Augus stormed in, hurling a vase from the console table at Dylan.
Caught off guard, Dylan took the hit to his forehead, blood instantly trickling down.
Arlene gasped, trembling as she quickly moved to shield Dylan.
"Darling, what's gotten into you? Why are you so furious? What has Dylan done?"
Worry and pain filled Arlene's eyes as she tried to tend to Dylan's wound.
But Dylan didn't budge, stubbornly standing his ground.
He too wanted to know what unforgivable sin he had committed to provoke his father's wrath.
With a stony face, he saw Augus slowly make his way to the couch, his gaze growing colder, sharp as
knives.
Dylan had always been the apple of his father's eye, never before on the receiving end of such
resentment.
It hurt.
Augus slumped into the couch, his voice saturated with disgust.
"Tell me what you've been up to tonight."
At first, Dylan thought to conceal his involvement in Judith's scheme, but seeing Augus's demeanor, he
suspected his father might already know.
"I helped Judith deal with Ian's girl."
Augus could barely suppress a laugh.
Deal with Ian's girl?
Judith must have known that the real heiress was visiting tonight, so she spun a tale about that girl
being Ian's girl, egging Dylan on to do her dirty work.
Augus's heart shook with fury, barely restraining himself from lashing out at Dylan.
"Kneel down!"
His stern rebuke sent a shiver down Arlene's spine.
Augus had always maintained a serious image within the Sanders family, but he had never erupted like
this.
Without arguing, Dylan walked to the center of the hall and knelt with a thud.
Augus looked on with icy disdain, growing more displeased by the second.
"So Judith snaps her fingers, and you jump? What if one day she decides to come after me? Would
you comply without hesitation?"
Dylan stiffened, unable to believe his father's words.
"Dad, Judith would never do such a thing."
Arlene tried to intervene.
"Honey, please calm down. You must be beside yourself with anger. Judith may be a bit spoiled, but
deep down, she deeply respects you as her father."
"Shut up! This does not concern you!"
Arlene's face turned pale, and she fell silent.
Taking a deep breath, Augus instructed the bodyguard, "Go upstairs and bring Judith down."
Upstairs, Judith was oblivious to the turmoil below. She was eagerly awaiting news of Maja's demise.
Her lips curled into a smile, dreaming of waking up to the news of a tragic accident.
She would never have to leave the Sanders family again. She had Dylan wrapped around her finger
and was set for a lifetime of adoration.
As for Maja, she was nothing but a lowly servant.
Dreaming of becoming the princess of the Sanders family? A country bumpkin like Maja had no right to
such fantasies!
Judith's face beamed with anticipation, lost in her delusions of grandeur.
Then, a knock at her door jolted her back to reality. Expecting Dylan, she quickly rose from her bed.
"Dylan?"
But it was the bodyguard who stood outside.
"Ms. Sanders, your father wants to see you."
Judith tensed up immediately. In the entire Sanders family, Augus was the one she feared the most.
If Augus had found out about her deception, there could only be one reason for summoning her: he
was ready to cast her out of the Sanders family.
"Where's my brother? Where's mom?"
"They are all downstairs."novelbin
Relief washed over Judith. As long as they were there, she wouldn't be cast out.
