My Four Miraculous Treasures

Chapter 424

Jasper hadn't been informed of her change of address. He had to be at her old place, instead.

Willow had only just gotten home when she got this phone call from Jasper. Her nerves were all wound up, now.

"Mr. Hughes, I was just about to go to bed. Whatever this is about, can't we just talk on the phone?" Maybe this would allow her to avoid having to meet with him in person...

"Either you're coming down, or I'm coming up! Your choice!" Jasper's voice was sharp and cold.

"Alright, I'll come down... but you'll have to wait awhile for me, because I'm in the bath right now. Let's say half an hour." She tried not to let him hear how nervous she felt.

If he headed upstairs, he'd find out she no longer lived there. Just imagining it made her skin crawl with horror.

After their quarrel earlier today, if she gave him one more reason to get mad at her... it wouldn't end well for her.

In response, Jasper hung up on her without another word.

Willow had barely been allowed to set one foot into her own home, when she had to promptly leave once more, dashing frantically for the staircase.

As she was just about to start down the stairs, it occurred to her that she was still wearing Xavier's jade bracelet.
