My Four Miraculous Treasures

Chapter 93

Edith was jealous of Willow, and absolutely hated her too. Jasper had used this woman as an excuse to reject her?! It was the greatest humiliation Edith had ever suffered in her life.

It was all Willow's fault. Worse, she'd been right there, watching the whole time! Edith had to get rid of her.

Realizing what Edith was trying to do, Willow replied, "Ms. Price, wrongful accusation has its own consequences, as well."

"You're the only one who would know what happened between Jasper and me yesterday. Who else could be behind these rumors, if not you?!" Edith had already narrowed the crime down to a single suspect.

Everyone in the company was talking about how Jasper had rejected her!

There was even some ridiculous hearsay about Jasper's romantic interests being more towards men!

Willow stood her ground before Edith's inquisition, firm in the belief that she'd done no wrong.

"I didn't hear any of your conversation with Mr. Hughes, nor do I have such low-class hobbies, eavesdropping and spreading gossip. Ms. Price, I'm sure a woman in your position understands what it means to be 'innocent until proven guilty!' I may only be a cleaning woman, but I won't be framed for someone else's crime! If that's all, I must get back to work."

This time, it was Willow who walked out on the conversation.

Yesterday, after she'd finished cleaning the top floor, she'd just lounged around in the Janitorial Department until her shift ended, and then she'd gone straight home.
