Chapter 1017
Mia sighed when she saw Jasmine. She knew things were about to get heated.
She had intended to head straight for the private room, but Jasmine's unexpected appearance threw her off guard.
Luna greeted Jasmine with a sneer as she emerged. "If we're talking about who came first, you'd win the illegitimate daughter title."
Jasmine immediately raised her hand and slapped Luna. Then, she grabbed Luna's hair and hissed, "Don't you dare get all high and mighty with me. If I decided to get physical, you wouldn't make it to tomorrow."
Luna yelped in pain and retaliated by pulling Jasmine's hair. "Who do you think you are to hit me? I could make sure you don't see daylight either. Let go of me!"
"Why should I? A woman like you who can't even show your face in public has no right to act so arrogantly."
Their altercation escalated quickly inside the elevator.
Raymond's expression darkened as he noticed the situation unfolding. He glanced around to see if anyone else had noticed, and he realized he needed to intervene.
So, he dashed into the elevator and shouted, "What's going on here? Both of you, stop it! This behavior is unacceptable."
Luna was agitated and shot back, "She started it, and you saw it too."
Jasmine smoothed her outfit with her hands and seethed in silence. She knew her father would always side with Luna regardless of what she said.
Upon witnessing the scene, Sharon quickly said, "Mr. Shelbert, don't let Luna deceive you. She's manipulative and always puts on an act of innocence. You can't trust a word she says.
"She played the role of a devoted wife for five years just to remainin the Barrett family. But now that she's got some old guy to bankroll her, she's showing her true colors. Don't allow her to manipulate you." This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Raymond's expression turned awkward.
Luna sneered. "Do you even know who that man is?"
Sharon glanced at Raymond, and her expression also turned awkward. She asked tentatively, "Is Asher your son?"
Jasmine smiled and said, "Dad, do you think people won't gossip about you behind your back if they find out?
"They'll brand you an ungrateful opportunist who, once in power, brings the mistress' child back into the family."
Luna was furious at being called a "mistress' child." She retorted, "Who are you calling a mistress' child?
"Dad, see how she refuses to bond with me? Even though her mother was the reason you and my mom split up, I never held it against her.
"But she keeps slinging 'mistress' child' at me, which could smear Asher's reputation if word gets out."
Sharon was stunned to hear Luna

made sense how Luna ended up in Nord City.
Luna smirked arrogantly and said, "Shocking, huh? You always looked down on me because you thought I was from a lower social standing.
"The truth is, I've just been keeping a low profile. I'm not like you, I don't always look down on others."
