Her tone was cold. "You're underestimating me, Mr. Shelbert. Do you think that the life and death of the Barretts would bother me?" "I dared not underestimate you, Ms. Mia. But there's no point for both our families-or even the three families-to be on bad terms because of such a trivial matter. It won't do anything good to us." "So how would you like to settle this?" Raymond suggested, "I know that my daughter is at fault, but I can hand over the project to you to make up for it. For future projects, I will consider your family first. How's that? You won't lose anything from this." "Do you think I need that?" "Ms. Mia, if you have other conditions, tell me. I will do my best to fulfill them." "Simple. Let Luna pay for the price." Mia turned around, looking at the bodyguards by the door. "If you insist on not lettingleave the room, I will call Dominic right now.

Timothy eyed Luna. "You better watch out in the future." Then, he followed Mia out of the room.
Mia was standing before the elevator. Hearing the footsteps behind her, she spun around. "What did you leave? Not going to spend twith your old friend?" S "I seriously didn't know about her relationship with Mr. Shelbert. I was in Nord City at that time, so I didn't know what happened back in Bern City. It was only when I saw her today that I realized that someone had released her." "Do you think I'll believe in that, Timothy? Why did you bring Luna et wel and that boy back to Barrett residence then? You even misled everyone that Asher's your son." "Because I don't have plans for marriage and having kids. I intended to raise him as the heir." "So who is his father?" Timothy wouldn't raise Asher as the heir without a valid reason.

"So, Asher isn't your son, but your nephew." "Yes. Four years ago, Luna ctopregnant. That was when I found out that my father had an illegitimate son. However, he passed on in a car crash.
