Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJasmine said, "I planned to follow your advice and have my family accept Asher as my brother. But I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
"I can't believe how much my dad has changed because of him. When I finally talked to my dad, I realized I never really understood him." Her voice choked with emotion as she spoke, and Mia handed her a tissue. Jasmine's vibrant confidence had waned since she had first returned to the country.
Mia empathized with Jasmine. How could Jasmine accept her respected father to bring Luna's son into the family just to have a male heir because he favored sons over daughters? Jasmine wiped away her tears and asked, "Mia, are you disappointed in me? I thought I could do it, but in the end, I just couldn't." Mia responded, "No. You've done well considering the circumstances. Many would have crumbled by now.
"It's just a matter of tbefore you cto terms with everything. And there's still hope. Your father's preoccupied with the Yellow Island incident and seems lost on how to address it." "He brought it upon himself," Jasmine said with a wry smile.

"When we collaborated with Mr.
Shelbert in the past, it was out of respect for your mother, not him You can trust that we won't turn against your family over this Dominic isn't the type to do that." Mia aimed to establish trust with Jasmine by clarifying her stance while making it clear that her primary concern was with Luna.
"That's why I find my father's actions impulsive and illogical. The people from Yellow Island are ambitious and unreliable. "What does he hope to achieve by collaborating with them? Does he really think he can becking or something?" Mia paused. "Your father probably has his reasons. Perhaps he feels that the Lane family has overshadowed him for years. So, he wants the Shelberts to becthe top elite family in Nord City Jasmine remarked sarcastically, "He wants us to becthe top elite family in Nord City. If it hadn't been for my mother, he wouldn't have even made it this far. Plus, his family would have gone bankrupt long ago. "All the money he's spent over the years was managed by my mother. Does he really think being the top elite family is that easy?" Considering all the support her mother had given her father and seeing her health decline while his career took off, Jasmine assumed her father would treat her mother better.
However, she was shocked when her father went to such extremes for what he considered essential-a male heir. Didn't he understand how devastating her mother would be if he brought Asher home? Mia had already investigated Raymond's rise to success and discovered that he owed much of it to his wife. For a moment, Mia was speechless.
