My Four Miraculous Treasures

Chapter 5

"Mr. Jasper, I'm sure that woman is dead," the head of the security team's words were very confident.

"At that time, when we went to the Nason household in the village, a funeral was being held. I asked the lady of the house, and she was crying so heartbrokenly. She told me that her precious one was crushed to death," the head of the security team recollected the situation back then.

Because the lady was too grief-stricken, he didn't press her further. He asked around the village and learned that the household only had one daughter.

And the same household was holding a funeral while the lady of the house was weeping inconsolably, saying her precious one had died, crushed by the collapse of an old storage house.

Who would she be talking about if it wasn't her daughter?

"I got it already!" Jasper hung up the phone, the glimmer of hope that had arisen in his heart ruthlessly dashed.

He had known the outcome long before. What was he still hoping for?

At that time, Jasper had sent his secretary to find that woman, planning for the secretary to bring her to his side so he could negotiate with her and compensate her. He chose his secretary because she was also a woman, and women could communicate with each other more easily.

But the secretary had returned, reporting that the woman had died, killed under the collapse of an old storage house in heavy rain.

Jasper found it hard to believe and sent the head of the security team to verify.

He had gone along as well, but his injuries were severe, making it difficult for him to get out of the car. He could only sit in the car and watch from afar.

The villagers had gathered at the woman's family's home, and funeral trumpets echoed throughout the village.

The facts were right in front of his eyes.

What more was there to doubt?
