My Four Miraculous Treasures novel Chapter 280

Jasper hadn’t fallen too deeply into that woman’s clutches yet, and there was also Yelena Anderson waiting in the wings. Frank would have a thorough background check conducted on Willow Nason in the meantime.

Three months… that would surely be enough time for Jasper to see the truth.

Yelena was the heir to Anderson Corporation, raised with the finest education and upbringing. Apparently, she’d had a boyfriend while abroad, but Yelena had assured him that it had only been an innocent courtship, lasting no more than three months, with nothing ever coming of it.

There had been some regrettable rumors going around about how she’d had a whole string of lovers—but there wasn’t any truth to it! In reality, there were droves of men who were desperately smitten with her, and who refused to give up on her no matter what!

…But the thing was, ever since that fortunate day, when she’d first laid eyes upon Jasper Hughes, and found out about the destiny that had been written for them… she’d always kept a respectable distance from all other men. All those other suitors had never had even half a chance with her.

However! Their dogged persistence was indefatigable! Countless times she’d turned them down already… but it did absolutely nothing to dissuade them.

Fearful of damaging their dignity, perhaps she’d failed to make herself clear enough. Perhaps the outside observer noted that there was always one guy or another hanging around her, leading to all manner of disingenuous insinuations about an unslakeable thirst for men.

In summary, she’d only ever had one boyfriend, for all of three short months, just getting to know each other, nothing more. She’d certainly never done anything that might disgrace her promised fiance!

Frank had gotten all this from Yelena herself. Such a proper and well-behaved young lady, as befit her pedigree and grooming… she would be a fine match for Jasper.

Jasper regarded his grandfather’s solemn expression, full of genuine sincerity and concern.

He understood what the elderly man was truly worried about. He still flinched when he recalled the ferocity of the quarreling between his parents.

“Alright, Grandpa. We have an agreement.”

At last, Frank’s tightly furrowed brow loosened a little. “Three months from now, if you find any reason at all to suspect her character or her methods, you’ll cut things off with her completely, and marry Yelena Anderson instead.”

Jasper frowned. “Grandpa, for Yelena to have had even a single boyfriend before, automatically invalidates the promise you made with her grandfather. Anyway, it was only a light-hearted jest of the moment, wasn’t it?”

With nothing in black and white, the Anderson family had been reluctant to acknowledge any such promise of engagement.
