My Four Miraculous Treasures

"Going to the Food Appreciation Contest with Mr. Hughes is your job. The rest of your work can be postponed," Tyson said.

Willow was speechless.

She initially wanted to find an excuse not to go, but Tyson had already left.

Instead of the Food Appreciation Contest's venue, it felt more like Willow was going to an execution ground.

Once she was there and Hailey saw her, Hailey would definitely joyfully address her as Mommy. Jasper would also be there. If he overheard a girl calling Willow that, he would definitely ask questions to get to the bottom of things.

Willow had been so careful to keep this a secret.

Yet, it would soon be exposed.

She did not dare to imagine the consequences of this...

However, if she insisted on not going, that would imply she was slacking off at work. Jasper might feel unsatisfied. It could also lead to him feeling suspicious.

Once he suspected something was up and decided to investigate, her secret would also be exposed.

She was caught between a rock and a hard place.

After much consideration, Willow decided to accompany Jasper. At the very least, she could think of ways to salvage the situation once she was there.noveldrama

If she did not go, everything would be out of her control.

The Food Appreciation Contest's grand finale was held outdoors in Times Square.

The venue was crowded, and the seats were already fully occupied. Staff members were also busy.

Contestants were already waiting backstage.

Willow made her way backstage while Jasper was drinking tea in the lounge.

All contestants were adults except for a kid who was barely five. She stood out such that anyone could spot her at one glance.

Hailey sat on a chair with her head down. She was eating chips. Rachel sat next to her.

Rachel accompanied Hailey to the contest today.

Willow quickly stepped forward. She gently tapped on Rachel's shoulder. "Rachel."

Rachel turned around. Her eyes lit up when she saw Willow. "Willow, why are you here?"

"Mommy!" Hailey turned around and saw Willow. She smiled sweetly and exclaimed happily.

"Willow, what happened to your head?" Rachel asked with a look of concern on her face after she noticed the gauze wrapped around Willow's head.

Hailey also pouted and began to worry. "Mommy, you're injured. Does it hurt?"

Willow was in a panicked state right now. She was worried about what would happen during the contest when Hailey met her father, Jasper. Willow would also be on the stage to serve Jasper later.

She had something important to tell Hailey and Rachel. There was not enough time to tell them about what she encountered over the past few days.

Willow summed it up in a few words. "It's just a minor car accident. It's not a big deal."

She then asked them to join her in the pantry. There were fewer people there, and none of the contestants were around.

"Our company is an investor in the Food Appreciation Contest, and our boss is the final judge. I'll be standing behind him later. Hailey, if you see me later, don't get curious.

Also, don't call me Mommy curious.

Otherwise, other people might think you have an unfair advantage and claim that we're biased toward you. I want you to win based on your own capabilities. I hope nobody misunderstands you," Willow said.

She certainly believed this too.

The internet was a frightening thing. If Hailey addressed Willow as he mother some people would use it as gossip material. They would claim that Hailey won because of her

mother.

The thought of Hailey being cyber-bullied was even more terrifying.

Besides, Hailey was still so young.

As her mother, Willow not only wanted to support her in pursuing her hobbies but also had to keep her safe.

Of course, there was one other reason, and that was to prevent Jasper from finding out that Hailey was her child.

That was the only way she could still be with her four children and live happily together.

Although Hailey was young, she had a good level of comprehension. She understood what Willow said and nodded obediently.
