Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 1053

Unfazed, Mia withdrew her hand and looked at Luna. "Since when were you the mayor's daughter? Your identity hasn't been revealed publicly yet, right?"

Jasmine continued mocking, "You're just his illegitimate daughter. How dare you claim to be a Shelbert? Believe it or not, the entire city will condemn you once your identity is revealed. Do you still think Dad will side with you then?"

No mayor would expose themselves for having an illegitimate child. It was like telling the whole world their weakness.

Defiance flashed across Luna's eyes. "Go ahead and expose me then. See whether Dad takes your side or mine."

Luna knew what Raymond was like. She had sought him out in the past, but he merely dismissed her with some money. He even had men threaten and monitor her, warning her not to run her mouth freely. Otherwise, she'd have to deal with severe consequences.

But now things were different. She'd agreed to let Raymond adopt Asher because he had always wanted an heir. Surely, his attitude would've been different.

Luna made the right move, and she would continue down this path. Although her identity couldn't be revealed just yet, she was already leading a very different life. She just had to be patient enough to wait for Asher to grow up. What would she have to fear once he inherited everything from the Shelberts?

In an instant, Jasmine screamed, "Just you wait!"

Jasmine's expression turned sullen. "Do I even have a choice? Luna is cunning, and she has my dad wrapped around her little finger. He's still oblivious to her true colors, and he's turning a blind eye because of that so-called grandson. Now that I'm aware of the truth, I don't think I should hesitate any longer."

Noting Jasmine's expression, Mia knew she had matured and grown more resilient. She had refused when Mia first suggested that the Shelberts accept the child to impose on Luna. But now, she was willing to go along with the idea again. She must've been very disappointed in Raymond.

Jasmine clenched her teeth. "My dad will be thrilled as long as our family accepts the child. Severing ties with my grandparents won't do him any good after all, and divorcing my mom won't benefit him for his re-election either. I must make that bitch Luna pay a heavy price. Dealing with a four-year-old once she's gone will be a piece of cake."
