My Four Miraculous Treasures

"Miss, can I ask you another question?" Julian looked up at Edith. His pretty, dark pupils glistened under the sunlight. It looked like a pair of black, shiny gemstones. Edith's face sank. "Why does a brat like you have so many questions?"

"Ms. Price, he's not just any brat. He's Mr. Hughes' nephew. You have no idea how smart he is. I've only chatted with him for a while, but I already felt he's wise beyond his years. He asked me a while ago, 'After removing U, F, and O from the 26 letters of the alphabet, how many are there left?' I answered 23, and it turned out to be wrong. The answer is very surprising. Ms. Price, would you like to know the answer?" The receptionist asked excitedly.

She was trying to get Edith interested, but Edith's cold stare made it clear she was not interested.

The receptionist pursed her lips and stopped talking.

"Oh my goodness. Whose child is this? He's adorable."

"Isn't that right? He's just too cute. Why does that kid sitting over there look so much like Mr. Hughes?"

Employees who passed by the reception were all smitten with the children's good looks.

Some even noticed how Tristan looked very similar to Jasper.

Edith was feeling increasingly threatened. She could not let these two children stay here any longer. She needed to make them leave as soon as possible.

She replied in a seemingly calm manner, "What's your question? Go ahead."

"Do you know what kind of bags are most useful? Do you know why light travels faster than sound?" Julian asked one question after the other.

Edith could not react in time.

The receptionist, who had played with Julian for quite some time, was getting a little too excited. She wanted to answer the questions as soon as she heard them.

In fact, she had already gotten used to Julian's tactics.

She quickly raised her hands. "I know the answers!"

"The best kind of bags are empty ones, and the reason why light travels faster than sound is that some people appear bright until you hear them speak," the receptionist answered cheerfully. After that, she looked hopefully at Julian, waiting for him to confirm that her answers were correct.

Julian smiled in a harmless manner. "Miss, you're so smart. You got them both right!"

"Hahaha!" Rachel burst into laughter.

Julian and the receptionist worked together perfectly.

It was time Edith came down off her high horse!

She deserved this!

Rachel felt great when she saw the look on Edith's face.

Edith had looked down on them earlier and tried to blame them when she was the one at fault. This made Tristan very unhappy. His already cold facial expression turned even gloomier.

After hearing Julian's questions and the receptionist's answers, the frown on his face finally disappeared.

Julian was his younger brother, after all. Not only

ply was he a good

d

performer, but he was also terrific at insulting others.

A hollow person?

Someone who seemed bright until one heard them speak?

Hearing all this made Edith's facial expression turn sour. She felt terribly annoyed.

This boy was probably indirectly saying she was a hollow person and someone who seemed bright until one heard her speak!

Edith could not believe she was intellectually defeated by a four-year-old child!

He had even indirectly insulted her!

Her face turned pale with rage as

she spoke angrily, "Hughes Corporation isn't a playground. I don't have time to play with you. Aren't you here to see Willow? You'll have a better chance at the police station."
