"You know Luna is related to the Barretts as well, right? My ex-husband is the CEO of Barrett Group, and the Barretts thought
Luna's son was Timothy's son. She'd been staying with the Barretts before she returned to Nord City. She's also hell-bent on having
Asher take over the Barrett family."
"How dare she?"
"She's very ambitious. That's why I've had conflicts with her before, and I wanted to get rid of her through you."
Understanding her intentions, Jasmine murmured gloomily, "But my dad has already decided to groom that child into his successor.
What can I do? Just because I'm not a boy, all my efforts meant nothing to my father no matter how hard I try."
"You can't give up just yet. You need to pull yourself together for your mother's sake. Not only is Luna very ambitious and
resourceful, she's even willing to go to extrlengths to achieve her goals. If you're not careful, you and your mother might end
up gaining nothing at all. Both of you might even be in deep waters by then. She won't show any mercy."
Jasmine's expression changed drastically. "Il won't let Luna have her way. My mom sacrificed so much, including her health, just to
help my father becthe mayor. If Luna's going to destroy all this, I'll make sure my father falls from power the sway he
rose to it."
"Actually, there's no need to go to such extrlengths. It's quite unrealistic to execute it as well, and it might ruin both of you.
Your dad will pay a heavy price, but your family will suffer tremendously too. Moreover, your family's business will be destroyed."
"Mia, what shall I do then? I can't just let them have their way. It's all thanks to my mom that my dad has his current position. She
had been tirelessly weaving out his plans for him over these years, causing her health to gradually decline. And yet, he still insists
on taking his mistress's daughter back to our family, even intending to groom her son into his heir. How could he?"
"You'll have to plan it in the long run."
"What should I do?"
"First of all, you need to feign innocence in front of your dad. Don't let Luna get ahead of you. After all, your father is bound to feel
remorse toward you."
