My Four Miraculous Treasures novel Chapter 31

As Hailey started crying and confessing, Julian couldn't hold back any longer.

He knew he had messed up. He pursed his lips, and tears welled up in his eyes. Finally, he was unable to contain himself any longer, and he sobbed, "Mom, Grandma, I won't dare to do it again. I know I was wrong. Mommy, please don't die. I don't want you to die..."

Tristan and Lilith, who were usually cold and unfeeling, felt fear creeping in. They exchanged a glance. Their fair faces had turned red with anxiety, and tears welled up in their eyes.

What should they do?

They had caused a disaster!

Rachel also wailed loudly, "Sob, sob... What should we do..."

Willow silently wiped away her tears. She was moved not only by their emotions but also by their heartache. Over the years, Lara had worked hard to help raise the kids. Though the older woman often complained, Willow knew her words were usually half-hearted.

Willow had also been working tirelessly for years. She had endured her fair share of hardships. To say she wasn't tired or didn't find it challenging would be a lie.

Now, seeing the children cry, Lara also burst into tears. It seemed like everyone in the room was falling apart, and her once-strong nerves had also given way to tears.

The voices from the other end of Tyson's phone echoed loudly even without the speaker on. Moreover, the voices of that family were heart-wrenching, making it difficult to prevent Jasper from hearing them.

Tyson could tell that the family was in a pitiable situation, and he softened a bit. He turned to Jasper.

Jasper's face was solemn, and his eyes were sharp.

Even so, Tyson covered the speaker and asked tentatively, "Sir, should we consider being a bit more lenient?"

Jasper's voice was cold and low, "If they had known the consequences, they shouldn't have done it in the first place. Everyone must pay for their mistakes."

Could pity exempt one from the consequences of their actions?

Suppose the children's guardian had been responsible and not allowed four children to enter someone else's office and damage public property recklessly. Would they be in this situation right now?

Jasper had never been a philanthropist. He had no obligation to sympathize with the unfortunate.

Besides, there was always a reason why someone ended up in a tragic situation.
