Meet My Brothers

Jasmine's abrupt remark left Raymond and Luna stunned, their minds grappling with the possibility that they might have misconstrued her words.

The sudden shift in Jasmine's demeanor caught them off guard, leaving them feeling uncertain about her intentions.

Without delay, Jasmine clapped her hands and signaled to the nearby butler. "Please bring up the gift I've prepared," she instructed.

A gift?

As the butler slipped out of the room, Luna couldn't help but shoot a suspicious look in Jasmine's direction. "What's really going on here?" she asked, her tone cautious.

Luna couldn't fathom why Jasmine, seemingly out of nowhere, had decided to prepare a gift for Asher.

"Relax, Luna," Jasmine countered. "Today happens to be my little brother's birthday, so naturally, I've arranged a special gift for him. After all, with our impending family ties, it's only fitting that I set a positive example, don't you think?"

Luna couldn't suppress a cynical smile at Jasmine's pompous words. "You've got the family dynamics all twisted. Asher is my son, Dad's grandson-not your little brother."

"Oh, I see," Jasmine replied casually. "I assumed Dad had longed for a son, which is why he welcomed Asher as his own."

Luna's unease grew as she listened. "What nonsense are you talking about?" she retorted firmly.

Asher, after all, was her son, and biologically, Raymond's grandson.

Nonetheless, Luna refused to entertain Jasmine's insinuations.

What ulterior motive was Jasmine possibly hiding behind that extravagant gift?

As Luna contemplated this, her mind raced with apprehension. Could Jasmine have stumbled upon some hidden secrets from the past? Before long, the butler appeared with a team of servers, all wheeling in a sizable box, commanding the attention of everyone in the room.

Upon locking eyes with the box, Luna's unease intensified.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

She couldn't shake the feeling that Jasmine's supposed gesture of goodwill was anything but genuine.

Given Jasmine's clear disdain for both Luna and Asher, it seemed highly unlikely that she would suddenly acknowledge Asher's significance and prepare such a grand gift. Hence, Luna was convinced that there was something suspicious about that box.

Meanwhile, Mia's expression turned grave as she observed the arrival of the box. It appeared that the climax of this situation was imminent.

In the next moment, Luna turned to Mia with a question, "Ms. Lane, is this a special service provided by your hotel?"

Setting her champagne glass down gently, Mia nodded, confirming, "Indeed it is. What prompts your inquiry, Ms. Maynard?"

"Well, Jazzy hadn't mentioned

attending today's banquet beforehand. Not to mention I meticulously planned this event myself and had no inkling about this special gift. So, I can only assume it's a unique surprise arranged by your hotel," Luna clarified

Mia agreed with a nod. "If that's how you perceive it, then you're correct. It's a custom gift crafted in collaboration with Ms. Jasmine and our hotel."

Luna's smile broadened. "Ah, I

understand now. If it's a special surprise from Aide Castle Hotel, then it's bound to be worth the

anticipation. Our guests are all here

due to your hotel's renown call nex

reputation, after all. Ms. Lane, I'm confident you won't disappoint us."

Mia sensed the underlying implications in Luna's remarks. She realized that if any issues arose with the gift, Luna would likely shift the blame onto Aide Castle Hotel. After all, Luna had a knack for deflecting responsibility.

Before long, Jasmine intervened with a smile, moving toward the gift box. "Let's open it and see what's inside."

"Not so fast."

All of a sudden, Raymond stepped in, halting Jasmine's movement.

He grasped her hand, exchanging a meaningful glance with her. He, too, harbored doubts about the contents of the box. Perhaps it held something unsettling rather than a delightful surprise. Today's banquet was meticulously orchestrated for Asher, serving as a grand celebration of his position as the heir to their family. There was absolutely no room for error.
