My Four Miraculous Treasures

Chapter 118



Willow looked around out of confusion before she understood his meaning. She got up and walked over to the gate to say to Jasper, "Mr. Hughes, I don't need you to bail me out. I can't leave until my name is cleared. Otherwise, I'll forever be branded as a thief."

She thought Jasper was trying to bail her out.

With Jasper's height, Willow only managed to reach his shoulders, making her seem so small and insignificant.

For someone so insignificant, a tiny setback could drown her completely.

However, he was a mountain. No trouble could ever take him down.

The police officer explained, "The truth has come to light. It was due to the betrayal of a company employee, so your name has been cleared."

Willow was surprised and shocked. Her eyes widened with excitement as she asked, "Who was the traitor?"

She had just finished asking when she saw an officer coming over with someone in tow.

It was a woman with her hands cuffed.noveldrama

Her stylish appearance contrasted starkly with her dejected expression.

Willow was shocked to see her. It was Edith Price!

Edith was apprehended!

Willow looked at Jasper, then at Edith, and she came to a realization. It was Edith who betrayed the company.

Willow's name was cleared now that the culprit was found.

She was suddenly reminded of how strange Edith had been acting lately.

After the initial shock of seeing Edith apprehended, Willow thought this turn of events made sense and was bound to happen.

Edith was in charge of keeping the design, so it was most likely that she leaked it out!

Willow was completely enlightened. She had a feeling that someone was trying to set her up, and that person turned out to be Edith. Edith tried to frame her, but alas, she failed and got herself in trouble instead. "Ms. Nason, please come out and free up that space for her," the officer detaining Edith said.

Willow hurried out as the officer led Edith through the narrow doorway. As Willow and Edith passed each other, Edith's beautiful eyes shot Willow a glare.

It was all Willow's fault that she ended up like this!

It was all Willow's fault that Mr. Hughes was being so cruel and indifferent towards her!

Damn that Willow Nason!

She should just die!

Edith gritted her teeth while she resented Willow.

Willow just happened to cast Edith a glance. She involuntarily shuddered upon meeting Edith's gaze.

That look in her eyes was just too frightening.

Outside the police station, Jasper was walking in front.

Willow jogged up to him. "Mr.

Hughes, since you're investigating the design theft, you should investigate the rumors while you're at it too think Deborah was being instructed by someone, or she wouldn't have been able to know what you and Edith were discussing. Even I don't know the details of your discussion."

Jasper abruptly stopped in his tracks.

Willow stopped as well.

It was a good thing she stopped in time, or she would've bumped into him.

Her eyes met Jasper's dark, cold gaze. His eyes were like the distant night sky, dark and boundless. Willow's heart shuddered. She asked carefully, "Did I say something wrong?"

"You seem to be very concerned about what happened that day," Jasper said with a raised eyebrow.

Willow blinked. Upon noticing the underlying meaning behind his eyes, her face flushed.

"That's not what I meant. What I'm saying is that merely saw what you were doing, but I didn't hear the contents of your discussion. Yet, the rumors were about what the two c you have discussed. It would seem as if the actual people involved spread it themselves." Willow was stuttering as she explained, her face red with panic.

Jasper's gaze on her was making her heart race. What on earth was this ambiguous feeling?
