At this critical moment, patience was crucial. Jasmine couldn't afford to make a mistake and fall into Luna's trap. Jasmine took a deep breath and finally abstained from speaking.
When Raymond learned about Asher, a smile spread across his face. "Excellent. I've sent many people to guide his studies. You've got to supervise Asher. His intelligence has truly impressed me. Let him learn more about these. It'll benefit his future greatly." "Dad, don't worry. Asher has always been smart. I'll make sure he studies more." After speaking, Luna glanced at Jasmine. Then she said deliberately, "When the tcomes, Asher should study abroad and aim to becan outstanding student, just like my sister." Jasmine felt disgusted as if she were about to regurgitate her meal from last night. She denied ever being Luna's sister.
Mia pulled Jasmine closer, giving her a reassuring wink to tell her to relax and calm down.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSharon, who was at the side, started speaking in a peculiar tone, "Asher had been living in our Barrett family for five years. I've hired several teachers to tutor him, but he was just so stupid. He's hot-tempered. He's always lagging behind the others in his studies, yet he has a very high self-esteem. Mr. Shelbert, I think you need to hire more teachers to help him." When Mia heard Sharon criticizing Asher, she was stunned. Unexpectedly, in this crucial moment, it was Sharon who stepped forward to silence Luna! It made sense. When Luna achieved success, she had the audacity to call Sharon an old hag. How could the prideful Sharon tolerate Luna's arrogance? When Luna heard this, she immediately retorted, "Mrs. Barrett, I can't comprehend your words. What possible benefit could you get from purposefully slandering Asher? You were so fond of Asher back then." Luna was furious and wondered why the old hag was causing trouble.
"At first, I was deceived by you and didn't know the full story. I believed Asher was a part of our Barrett family, only to realize he was just a little bastard. Why should I lie about Asher? He's simply a foolish child, and I've done nothing wrong by speaking the truth." Sharon found it unbearable to tolerate Luna's arrogance. After all, Luna was just an illegitimate daughter What could she possibly have to be proud of? If Luna hadn't deceived her in the past, she wouldn't have almost mistaken her grandson. Luna stood up abruptly, her eyes filled with cold determination. "Mrs. Barrett, who do you think you're calling a little bastard? Asher is bastard. He is the blood of the Barrett family. If he's foolish, his foolishness stemmedelfrom your ovyn family. The problem ties in your blood." "Are you serious? Tim has made it clear that he is not Asher's biological father. And yet you still want to cand deceive our Barrett family. Have you no shame?" Sharon scoffed.
Luna sneered and asked, "Who said he has to be Timothy's son? Can't he be Hector, Timothy's younger brother's son?" "What do you mean? I have only one son. I don't have a second child, and Tim certainly doesn't have a younger brother." Luna exclaimed, "That is not necessarily true! If he were not your biological child, would he not still be Timothy's brother?" At that moment, Timothy turned to Luna and said, "Shut up. There's no need for you to say anything more."
