My Four Miraculous Treasures

Chapter 11

Edith's heart raced with panic.

Had Jasper recognized this woman? Would he expose Edith's lies and hold her accountable?

Edith's face turned pale. Her entire body stiffened as she looked at the woman before her, Willow Nason.

Her lips trembled as she attempted to speak, but she was utterly speechless. Amidst the turmoil of shock, fear, resentment, and regret, her emotions were tortuously drawn out like a slow execution.

"Miss, did I disturb you just now? I'm really sorry. I'll get back to work right away! I won't make any noise again," Willow said. She bowed apologetically to the secretary.

During Willow's interview, the HR department had warned her that the employees on the top floor were all important figures. She should be quiet and cautious while carrying out her cleaning duties, and to never disturb or provoke the top-level staff. Otherwise, she would bear the consequences.

She had just been arguing with Samantha and tussling with Jasper moments ago-it must have disturbed the secretary. That's why the secretary rushed out in a fluster.

After that apology, Willow left with a mop in hand.

Edith didn't stop Willow. She didn't know the current situation, so she was unsure of how to face Jasper.

Her voice was gentle as she called Jasper carefully. "Mr. Hughes, good morning."

"Hmm," Jasper hummed back. It was difficult to tell his mood.

However, his eyes grew chillingly cold. It sent a shiver down Edith's spine.

Edith treaded carefully, her heart pounding. She was mentally prepared for Jasper to confront her in the next second, questioning her deceit and demanding answers. Willow, who was hastening toward the utility room, heard the way the secretary addressed the man. A jolt of electricity ran down her spine, causing her to freeze instantly. Damn it!

Why hadn't she realized that this guy was the CEO of Hughes Corporation?
