Jasmine was furious. She raised her hand to strike Luna, but Luna grabbed her wrist promptly. "Do you still think you can lay a finger on me? You won't stand a chance unless I let you!"
"You bitch! You did that on purpose earlier."
"Yeah, so what? Go on, tell Dad about it and see if he believes you or me."
"You're a vicious bitch! Don't you dare think that you've defeated me with your scheme earlier. In your dreams! My dad only got to where he is today because of my grandparents. Do you really think he'd give up on me and my mother for your sake?"
Although Jasmine was infuriated, she firmly believed that Raymond had only been deceived.
Luna yanked Jasmine's wrist away and snarled, "You'll see. It's all your mother's fault for not being able to give birth to a son when Dad has been yearning for a son all his life. Now that I'm letting him adopt Asher as his grandson, he'll have a successor."
"What's the big deal about a child? If my mom is willing to, she could have a surrogate. Giving my dad ten sons wouldn't even be a problem, let alone just one. Do you think the little bastard you gave birth to would be of any value by then?"
Luna's expression changed. If that were truly the case, she'd be in a difficult spot.
But soon, she smiled and said, "Your mom would've done it a long time ago if it's possible. Also, surrogacy is illegal in Nord City. If the mayor's wife went against the law, wouldn't it affect the mayor once the public found out? I suppose Dad isn't that foolish to do something that stupid, right?"
Given Raymond's obsession with a son, he would've arranged for surrogacy ages ago. The fact that he hadn't done it must mean he had his concerns as well.
Jasmine froze. Indeed, she only brought up the topic of surrogacy out of impulse. Even if Raymond had agreed, Alison wouldn't have concurred.
Smugly, Luna continued, "Enough, stop being in denial. We can still get along if you just accept my son's return to the Shelbert family and groom him into the family's successor. But if you get in my way, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Having come this far, Luna wouldn't give up easily. She would be a dignified member of the Shelbert family once Asher grew up and inherited everything from them. As the mayor's daughter, her status would rise by then. She would no longer be the poor girl whom everyone bullied. She vowed to get revenge on those who bullied and looked down on her before.
"Stop daydreaming, Luna! You and your little bastard are only going back to the Shelbert family over my dead body! Forget about it!"
