Chapter 10

"Oh, don't be mad, Edith! You're a beautiful woman. You're also working beside Mr. Jasper! I believe that you'll captivate Mr. Jasper sooner or later. So, it would be bad if you start getting wrinkles and lose your chance that way..." Samantha smiled brightly when she spoke, making it seem like she was saying all this for Edith's sake...

But she was just making fun of her at this point.

Edith had been working for Jasper for so many years, but she never managed to get even a single glance from him. No matter how much she did, Jasper didn't care at all.

If that wasn't the case, he wouldn't have slept with Willow instead of her.

Back then, Samantha originally intended to head to Willow's house to pester Xavier, but she overheard Edith's call with Jasper.

She got the gist of the situation that Jasper had landed in the old storage house and slept with Willow, and he had sent Edith to pick her up. He wanted to give Willow a life of luxury and wealth. However, Edith took advantage of the fact that the old storage house had collapsed and washed away by the heavy rain. She lied to Jasper, claiming that Willow had been crushed to death. Then, Edith realized Samantha had been eavesdropping, so she gave her money to keep quiet about it. She didn't want this matter to be exposed.

Since Samantha didn't want Willow to be in a better place, she agreed to help.

For a more realistic effect, she even convinced Lara to have a funeral for the pig that got crushed that night.

Lara treated the pig like her baby and, unbelievably, agreed to the offer. The entire village attended the funeral as well.

Edith didn't want Jasper to find Willow; she didn't want another woman to get closer to him. Samantha could immediately tell that Edith had feelings for Jasper.

She had been using this fact to blackmail Edith into giving her quite a sum of money for the past five years.

Edith grabbed the document beside her and threw it at Samantha.

"Leave!"

Edith stood up with both hands resting on the table. She was so angry that her eyes twitched frantically, and her chest heaved.

Samantha quickly walked out of the office but glanced backward inside and snorted.
