Who would have thought that Willow would crunning to Jasper on her own?! In recent days, Jasper had begun to doubt whether the woman from five years ago had really died.
The looming sense of crisis in Edith's heart grew even more intense.

She approached him and said in a gentle and sweet tone, "It's nothing, sir. You're busy, so I'll just clear away the cups for you." She walked to the coffee table to collect the used coffee cups.
Jasper turned away and continued to focus on the documents, but he uttered in a low and magnetic voice, "Leave these trivial matters to the cleaning staff. Your three-day vacation should already be in effect." Edith had been picking up the cups, but she suddenly stopped at his words. She turned to look at Jasper, and her usual assertive demeanor softened. There was even a hint of helplessness in her eyes. "Mr. Hughes, I just dispatched someone to gather information about that woman in Nason Village. I'm sure we'll have something soon. I'll wait until I get the news and take my leave starting tomorrow." "Fine," Jasper responded curtly without lifting his head..
Edith silently continued with her task of tidying the coffee table, occasionally stealing glances at Jasper.
This man was not just handsome; he was dignified and intimidating. He also exuded a sense of righteousness. It probably had something to do with his military background. His presence and demeanor were truly unmatched. As Edith was lost in her thoughts, Tyson knocked on the door and entered.
He walked directly to the desk and reported, "Mr. Hughes, the fashion show will proceed as planned in three days. Here are the design drawings and proposals." He placed the documents on the desk.
Jasper glanced at them and said, "The old man will be coming. Ensure there are no mistakes." "Understood, Mr. Hughes," Tyson replied.
He was about to leave the office when someone knocked on the door.
After a moment, a woman's cautious voice called out, "Hello, I'm Rachel, the mother of the four children. I've cto compensate the damages and apologize." The office door wasn't closed, and the woman stood at the doorway. Tyson glanced at the entrance and saw a woman wearing a cream-colored dress with her hair tied in a ponytail.
She had a slightly plump figure, round cheeks, and big, curious eyes. She stood at around 1.6 meters and had a very cute appearance.

Tyson quickly looked at Jasper and realized he was completely ignoring the woman, engrossed in his documents. Tyson thought that since she had come, they shouldn't make her feel more uncomfortable than she already was. So, he said, "If you want to compensate, you have to cin. Are you waiting for someone to escort you in?" Rachel was taken aback, but then she understood and nodded quickly. "O-oh, okay." Holding her bag, she walked into the office and stood in front of the desk. When she saw Jasper's face and felt the pressure around him, she gasped. In her nervousness, she was unsure of what to say. Speople could exude an intimidating presence just by sitting, leaving others awestruck.
Edith noticed Rachel staring at Jasper and didn't like it.
She impatiently said, "You said you wanted to apologize, what are you е waiting for?
Rachel snapped back to reality at Edith's words. She blinked and then bowed deeply as she nervously stuttered, "Mr. Hughes, I'm sorry.h apologize on behalf of my children. They falsely claimed you were their father to counter fraud. I hope you won't take it to heart..." Edith immediately tensed upon hearing Rachel's words. She was about to speak when Willow, who had finished cleaning the secretary's office, entered the room.
When Rachel heard movement from the door, she turned around. She was extremely nervous about standing in this office and was unbelievably excited to see a familiar face. She couldn't help but blurt out, "Willow, you're here too. That's great!" Willow? Hearing this, Jasper looked up with his dark eyes.
