My Four Miraculous Treasures

In reality, Edith had given the entire sum of fifty million dollars to Samantha alone.

That was because Samantha had eavesdropped on Edith's phone conversation and found out Edith had lied to Jasper. Edith had told Jasper that the woman he slept with had died.

Truth be told, the woman Jasper had slept with was Willow!

However, Edith couldn't let Jasper find out about this.

So Samantha had blackmailed Edith into giving her the money. If Edith had refused, she would have exposed Edith for lying.

That was why Edith had given all fifty million dollars to Samantha to keep the latter quiet.

Samantha had frequently blackmailed Edith over the past five years because of this secret they were hiding.

This time, when Jasper asked Edith to investigate the woman from that night, she immediately contacted Samantha over the phone. She asked Samantha to fabricate a document, which had no detectable loopholes, and deliver it to the CEO's office. Samantha had come just in time. If she were late for even a second, Jasper would have found out about Willow's true identity.

Edith and Samantha were able to convince Jasper and avoid arousing any suspicion. However, there was something Jasper couldn't quite wrap his head around. "There are only three of them in the family. How is thirty million not enough for them?" Why did Willow have to steal and use such lowly methods to trick others?

Samantha had thought of an answer to this long ago. She calmly replied, "Mr. Hughes, you may not know this, but Willow's mother, Lara, is a gambling addict. She can lose a lot of money in just one night. Thirty million dollars could never be enough for her. Come to think of it, I feel rather sorry for Willow. She's doing everything she can to make ends meet, but her mother always loses it all."

"I pity her, and that's why I suggested that she work in my company. However, her wage would of course be lower than if she worked in Hughes Corporation. I guess that's probably why she lied about her identity to Hughes Corporation. It was so that she could work here and earn a higher wage. Mr. Hughes, please don't blame her. She hasn't had it easy," Samantha added.

In order to make the story more believable, she even pretended to say good things about Willow to Jasper and pleaded to him on her behalf.

After all, if Samantha appeared kind and devoted to her sister, only then might Jasper believe what she said.

If Jasper became suspicious and investigated deeper into the matter, things could go very bad.

After all, Yvette really did exist, and she also died at some point. However, her death was a result of her drowning in a countryside pond when she was three. It was not because she was crushed to her death. On top of that, this had happened many years ago and not five years ago.

If Jasper dug any further, he would definitely discover this loophole.

Jasper felt a little tired. He waved his hand. "I understand. You can all leave now."

Samantha nodded briefly. She was the first to leave the office.

Tyson followed suit.

Edith stayed behind. "Mr. Hughes, Willow used a fake identity to land this job. This is considered fraud. I'll fire her right away and alert the cops."

She was determined to keep Willow away from Jasper. This was the only way she could stop herself from worrying.

Jasper looked up slightly. He replied with a tired voice, "It's fine. Amend her personal information."

Edith's heart sank. She was getting frantic. "Why?" She asked.

Why was Jasper refusing to fire Willow when she did such a terrible thing?

Some time ago, Jasper had said that there was no need to make a fuss over a cleaning lady. They would have to find someone new to replace her if they fired her. It was a waste of time. Edith thought it was an acceptable reason. After all, a cleaning lady really was someone insignificant.

However, things were different now. There was a major personality flaw in this person. In fact, it was very severe.

Jasper never had much patience when it came to people with poor personalities. In fact, he hated them.

Why was he unwilling to fire Willow?

Could he have developed feelings for her?

Edith felt nervous and angry.noveldrama
