My Four Miraculous Treasures novel 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.

‘She’s just a dumb woman with wishful thinking! What’s with that attitude?’

As soon as she got out, she saw Willow cleaning the floor outside.

She strutted over before intentionally stepping on the mop again.

Willow froze; she knew exactly who it was as soon as she saw the pair of high heels again.

“Do you like being a nuisance? Is that your hobby?” she said as she glared at Samantha.

Samantha boiled with anger after hearing the insult. Fuming, she reached out as if to grab Willow's hair.

“I’ll have to teach you a lesson you won’t forget, you b*tch!”

She had already let Willow off the hook in the nightclub before. That had already irked her, and now she needed a place to vent after Edith had infuriated her.

Willow noticed Samantha's long, manicured nails as the latter reached out. They looked sharp and terrifying. Willow quickly moved out of the way, then pulled the mop away before swinging it at Samantha.

Samantha kept dodging the mop, and she realized that she didn’t have a weapon of her own. She quickly ran right into the elevator before frantically pressing the button to close the doors. She even threw quite a heinous insult at Willow before the doors were fully shut.

Willow was completely infuriated. It took a long time before she was able to calm down.

She vented out all her anger by mopping the floor even harder.

‘Don’t let me see you again, Samantha! I’ll tear your face apart if I do!’

Another elevator door opened, and a pair of black leather shoes brighter than the floor appeared in her line of sight, almost stepping on the mop.

‘Another one?!’
