My Four Miraculous Treasures novel Chapter 29

Willow almost got the phone, when Tyson went on.

"Little boy, I’m not pretending. Tell your mother that you’ve damaged our property when you came to our CEO's office today. She must pay our company two hundred and sixty-three thousand dollars as compensation.”

Willow, who almost reached the phone, froze once more when she heard his words. Her eyes widened, and her heart beat wildly.

She had heard Jasper mentioning that he would get the children’s parents to compensate for the damages, but she didn’t expect Jasper to mean it.

That was an astronomical amount!

Willow was in shock. Meanwhile, Julian replied solemnly, "Liar! I’ll tell my father that you frightened me using his name, and that you’ve hurt my feelings. You must pay me two hundred and sixty-three thousand dollars for mental damage."

Julian was very keen. Despite his tender age, his acting skills were top-notch. He made it difficult to distinguish between truth and fiction.

Julian was so good, Tyson began suspecting that Julian really might be Jasper’s illegitimate child he knew nothing about.

Feeling slightly worried, Tyson cupped the phone's receiver with his other hand, and turned to Jasper. "Mr. Hughes, a little boy answered the call. He said you’re his father. Do you—"

Jasper's icy gaze pierced him before he could finish. He shut his mouth instantly.

Then, he realized for the first time that he actually believed a child's words and doubted Jasper. It was a blemish on his sharp competence in his many years as a professional.

To think a professional like him almost fell into a child’s trap!

Tyson immediately became serious. "Little boy, I don't have time to joke around. I'm not pretending. Tell your mother to answer the phone."
