Chapter 1142
If Jasmine's words rang true, it appeared inevitable that Raymond would unquestionably opt to forsake Luna.
Standing tall, Jasmine directed a commanding gaze toward Luna. "Your defeat is undeniable this time. I won't ever permit you the chance to conspire against me or my mother again." "Bitch, slow down. Asher is still under the Shelbert family's care, and I'm determined to bring him back." And do you really think that opportunity will ever come? Asher is under my control now, and I'll do whatever I want with him," Jasmine asserted firmly.
"Bitch! If you so much as harm Asher in the slightest, I won't let you get away with it. I'll tell Dad and expose all your schemes!" Unfazed, Jasmine dismissed Luna's threat and directed the bodyguards, Take her away and ensure she doesn't wander off." As Mia observed the unfolding events, her suspicions crystallized. The arrival of Ernest and Irene only confirmed her intuition that the situation ran deeper than what met the eye.
with the resolution at hand, it became evident that Luna's hopes for a turnaround were futile.
Making her way to Jasmine, Mia said warmly, "Congratulations." As Luna was forcibly escorted away,Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
she directed a desperate plea at Mia.
"Mia! You know about Asher's connection to the Barretts.
please, inform Timothy that the Shelberts pose a threat to Asher. Urge him to take Asher away; leaving him with the Shelbert family could have dire consequences for his future!" Unruffled, Mia firmly replied, "Don't trouble yourself with these elaborate schemes. I have no intention of being your messenger. It's time to give up on that idea once and for all." The source of Luna's confidence in Mia's willingness to advocate for someone as deceitful as her remained a mystery.
"Even if you remain silent, Timothy will soon uncover the truth. He won't allow Asher to suffer in the Shelbert
family! If Asher is in danger, Timothy will undoubtedly intervene to protect him.
Jasmine, I'm afraid your schemes are bound to fail!" Approaching Luna, Mia held her gaze.
"Considering the circumstances, it's rather audacious of you to mention the Barrett family. But I have some uplifting news— Grandma Laura has regained consciousness.
"Despite briefly lapsing back into unconsciousness, the doctors assure us that she will soon awaken permanently.
nonce she does, all Grandma Laura needs to do is identify her assailant from years ago. That alone would condemn certain individuals to a lifetime in prison."
In an instant, Luna's face paled, her guilt evident in her expression. "Are you implying Mrs. Barrett Senior has awakened?" If she had truly regained consciousness, wouldn't Timothy have already taken her away? Believe it or not, the choice is yours," Mia replied firmly.
With that, Luna was escorted off.
Meanwhile, Jasmine's expression took on a more nuanced tone. "While it may appear that I've emerged victorious, the reality is that I lost a long time ago." Even with Luna's expulsion from the Shelbert family, Jasmine understood that her home would never return to its former state of tranquility.
Indeed, her unwavering admiration and affection for her so-called father had vanished.
Moving forward, she would have to prioritize herself and her mother.
With Luna no longer in the picture, the focus shifted to Asher's future. Though still young, preparations needed to begin for what lay ahead.
It was clear that as Asher grew older, his father would inevitably support him.
However, there was still a decade ahead to strategize and plan.
Today, Mia had come with the sole intent of observing the unfolding spectacle, feeling a sense of relief as Luna was taken out of the equation.
With Luna eliminated, she no longer posed a threat in the future.
Now, it was Mia's turn to assert control over the situation. She addressed Jasmine, saying, "Regarding Luna, I have a favor to ask. I would be grateful for your help with this."
