Jasmine fell silent.
As the silence stretched on, Mia continued, "Promise your father that you'll take the child back to your family. But at the same time, you need to talk to your mother and your grandmother's side of the family. Say that you're willing to let this child stay in your family, and you'll educate him properly. Both of you will support each other and inherit everything in the family."
"My grandmother won't agree to this. She'll surely demand justice for my mother," Jasmine said.
"I know your grandma adores you. However, you can make a secret deal with her. Put on an act and let your grandma scold you. This is a great opportunity for you." Jasmine was perplexed. "I still don't quite understand."
"Your father will think that you're on his side after you do this. It'll seem like you betrayed your grandmother's side for the sake of his benefit. So, he will side with you and Luna won't have the chance to sow discord between you two.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"Then, you should seize the opportunity to gain control of your father's companies and assets. If you take the child back with you, it'll take more than a decade for the kid to grow up and compete with you for these properties. There will be plenty of time for you to work on your plan."
Even Mia was slightly surprised at herself after laying out her plan. If she were her old self, she would probably feel as helpless as Jasmine was. Yet, she now knew how to handle such situations after going through various ordeals herself.
Jasmine began, "My father is a cunning man. He won't buy it easily. Besides, my acting also sucks. He'll definitely see right through me."
"After all these arrangements, tell your father that you're not going to marry in the future. Instead, you'll have a guy marry into your family and your child will take on your family's last name as well. In this case, Luna's child will no longer be special."
Rubbing her face, Jasmine expressed, "Thanks. I know you're saying all this for my own good, but I still need to consider."
Just then, her phone rang.
Mia noticed that it was Raymond calling her. Evidently, Luna was already one step ahead of Jasmine in seeking his empathy, which was why he called.
Jasmine answered the phone, "Hello, Dad."
Raymond bellowed from the other end of the call, "Where are you now? Come back home this instant! I have something important to tell you."
The call was disconnected before Jasmine could ask what's wrong. She turned toward Mia with a sarcastic expression, saying, "You were right. Luna's already made her move."
"Don't worry. Go back and see
what's going on first. I believe you'll
excel in this if you really set your
mind to it. Having received the best education from your family, you wouldn't possibly lose to Luna, right? She's merely a trickster."
Jasmine nodded. "Alright, I'll see how it goes. Thank you, anyway. If it weren't for you, my mom and I would still be kept in the dark. By the time we found out, it'd definitely be too late."
"You don't need to thank me. In fact,
I'm only doing this for my own sake. I have a feud with Luna as well, so have to eliminate her advantages in this situation. She can't become your father's legitimate daughter. Otherwise, I'll also be in trouble by then."
Luna would surely become a nuisance once she gained power She had almost prevented Sage from receiving his bone marrow treatment. Thus, Mia had to stop her from climbing up the social ladder.
