My Four Miraculous Treasures novel Chapter 21

Edith tried to maintain her front as a strong and independent woman. Yet in the face of Jasper’s rage, even she felt terrified and uneasy.

Sensing that she had made a mistake, she decided to pick her words carefully. “Sir, about the mess in your office… Four kids barged in and destroyed everything.”

When she spoke, she didn’t dare to make eye contact with Jasper. Her heart was drumming against her rib cage, afraid he would press further. Compared to the mess in the office, Edith was more worried about him finding out the reason behind the children’s visit to his office today.

Willow, standing nearby, was so nervous that she held her breath.

From Edith’s explanation, it seemed Julian wasn’t the only one who came. The rest of the children followed, too. Were they really the ones who trashed Jasper’s office? If he ever caught them in the act, would have given them a harsh beating?

Willow lowered her head, and stared silently at her feet. She was so afraid of being noticed that she didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly.

Jasper lifted his chin in disbelief. He was so angry, he couldn’t be bothered to shout at them. And yet, his expression was darker than the sky outside.

“I don’t care how you do it, but I want you to track down those despicable brats! I’ll make their families pay for this!” he hissed.

While his foul mood was initially attributed to his losing control over his urges, his anger surged the moment he saw his office in such a terrible mess.

What?

Despicable brats?

Willow was annoyed when she heard Jasper refer to her babies as despicable brats.

Her children were all obedient and understanding. They would never cause such a mess without rhyme or reason. They must’ve been frightened by something in the first place. The mess was unintentional.

Despite her anger, Willow kept her head down. She didn’t dare make a single squeak.
