My Four Miraculous Treasures novel Chapter 9

“Ow! Ow! It hurts! Let go, Mom!” Willow yelped in pain as she leaned into the hand that was latched onto her ear.

Lara was terrified—she thought that the kids were missing.

Her lingering fear turned into unbridled rage before she lashed out at Willow.

“It hurts, huh?! Do you know just how worried I was?!” Lara’s face was bright red as she screamed at Willow.

“Don’t blame Mommy, Grandma. We went out on our own. We bumped into Mommy while we were out.”

Tristan and Julian scooched under Lara’s leg before raising their heads, pleading for their mother.

Lara scoffed and let go of Willow’s ear, then looked down with a stern expression.

“You two better not do this again! If you do, I’ll sit you in the corner for the rest of your lives!”

Julian slowly lowered his head and said weakly, “I got it, Grandma…”

The child looked adorable when he apologized, and the sight instantly moved Lara.

“And you?” she said fiercely to Tristan.

“I got it,” Tristan replied despite the distant look on his face.

“Hmph! I’ll forgive you two this time.”

Lara grabbed some tissue and wiped the snot and tears off her face.

“I’ll go make some food. You should rest, Mom,” Willow said and hurried into the kitchen.

Her mother was right. It was good that nothing bad happened. If there was a next time, she probably wouldn’t be so lucky as to bump into Tristan and Julian again.

'What if they got into trouble with bad people on the streets? I don't dare imagine the consequences!'

The next day, Willow felt refreshed and energized as she arrived early at Hughes Corporation.

She had to give her boss a good first impression since it was her first day here. She only worked as a cleaner, but the wage was still quite high! She’d earn sixty hundred dollars per day—that was eighteen thousand per month!

To have such a high salary for only being a cleaner made her content and grateful. After all, she had four children to care for. She was fine with any occupation as long as she could uphold her morals and earn money with her own hands.

Willow worked hard to mop the marble floor on the tallest floor. The floor seemed clean and sparkly already, but she was determined to ensure every inch of it was cleaned thoroughly.

This was the CEO’s floor. Hughes Corporation belonged to Buscen City’s top aristocratic family and was also the best corporation there was in the city.

The CEO of the corporation would naturally have extremely high standards as well. Only a luxurious, extravagant, and spotless environment would be suitable for him.

Willow vigorously cleaned the floor while thinking about what the manager had told her.

Then, she heard the sounds of a woman's heels clicking on the floor behind her. Willow ignored the sound and continued cleaning when a slender leg with a tall, delicate heel suddenly stepped on her mop.

Following the leg upward, Willow was met with a red skirt, then a face with thick makeup. The woman whose leg was on Willow's mop was looking down at her with arrogance.

It was Samantha.

Willow’s face darkened instantly, and she snapped, “Move your leg!”

She didn’t think that she would bump into the calculating woman here.

'How unlucky!'
