My Four Miraculous Treasures (Willow and Jasper) novel Chapter 39

Willow halted her steps and turned around. "Mr. Ward, did you need something?"

"Clean up Mr. Hughes' office, okay? Also, clear away the cups that were used," Tyson instructed Willow and then walked away without saying another word to Edith.

Willow came to her senses and met Edith's eyes.

Edith stared at her with a gloomy gaze, as if she had some kind of grudge.

Willow innocently blinked, thinking that she hadn't done anything to upset Edith.

Besides, Willow hadn't even complained about how Edith had sternly disciplined her children!

So, why was Edith giving her such a look?

"Ms. Price, I'm going to clean the office now," Willow said.

With that, she grabbed a broom and headed towards the office.

Edith saw that Willow was about to enter Jasper's office, where she would see him in person.

A strong wave of emotions surged through Edith, and she felt as if she was on the brink of a crisis.

When Willow was about to push the door open, Edith spoke up just in time, "Lara, wait a moment."

"Hmm?" Willow paused and turned to look at her.

Edith had a detached look on her face. There was even a hint of hostility as she told Willow, "Clean the secretary's room first. Mr. Hughes is working, and he shouldn't be disturbed."

"Oh, alright," Willow obediently turned and went to the secretary's room.

Cleaning the secretary's office was within her scope of duties, so she had no objections.

Willow went to the secretary's room while Edith entered Jasper's office. She found Jasper sitting in his chair, engrossed in reading some documents with a serious expression.

When Edith heard this news, her hopes crumbled, and her heart shattered.

Jasper didn't dislike women; he just hadn't found the woman he liked yet!

If that woman were brought to Jasper's side, Edith would have no place in his life, despite silently guarding him for a decade.

Edith couldn't accept it.

She had liked Jasper for ten years, so why should he be stolen away by a woman who had suddenly appeared?!

She had gone to Nason Village. There, she discovered that the old house where Jasper and Willow had been intimate had been destroyed by rain. The destruction had also killed the house owner's beloved pig.

She immediately made a decision and told Jasper that the woman had been crushed to death in the incident.

With that, she could break Jasper's attachment to that woman and make her disappear from his heart.
