NovelEnglishMia suddenly remembered Timothy's background and found herself at a loss for words.
She had always found it strange how Sharon's behavior caused so many embarrassing situations without anyone daring to criticize her. It dawned on Mia that this was due to the Barrett family's elite status in Bern City.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDespite Sharon's lack of competence befitting her status, the Barretts seemed unusually accepting of her. However, Mia had recently uncovered the reason, which was tied to Timothy's background.
Sharon and Timothy seemed to carry a sense of obligation from their past, which explained the Barretts' tolerance toward Sharon.
Mia frowned as she thought about the conflict between the research institute and Yellow Island, which made her wary of anyone associated with Yellow Island.
Now, Sharon's sudden bond with the granddaughter of Yellow Island's prminister seemed suspicious to her.
She suspected that Sharon's calling for Shelly to Nord City and her matchmaking efforts might be related to the prminister's granddaughter. Jasmine said, "I'll have someone follow up on this issue. But my assistant just called to informthat my dad has arrived. I invited him specifically to the investment banquet today as a show of support." "You didn't have to do that, especially considering everything happening on your end." "Mia, I know there's been stension between our families lately, and I want to smooth things over. Let's not let Luna's antics drive a wedge between us. That's just giving her what she wants." Mia sighed, and she understood Jasmine's intention.
With Luna now at Raymond's side and ties to the Barrett family, Jasmine needed new allies. So, the Lane family was an obvious choice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing Jasmine's cautious expression, Mia reassured her, "Con. Let's go greet your father." After all, Raymond's presence at the event was a courtesy. No matter what was going on behind the scenes, putting on a good front was essential.
As Mia observed Jasmine's expression, memories of her own past within the Barrett family five years ago flooded back.
As Mia and Jasmine approached the entrance, they noticed Raymond's car pulling up. However, when he' stepped out, he was accompanied by an unexpected companion. Mia wasn't surprised to see Luna, but she couldn't ignore the sour expression on Jasmine's face. She comforted Jasmine by giving her a reassuring pat on the shoulder and said, "Keep your cool." S "But I didn't invite Luna, and I'm sure you didn't, either. That shameless woman how dare she chere with my dad? What if my mother finds out?" Jasmine fretted. S "Don't worry, I'll handle the press. They won't make this public or let any photos reach your mother." Jasmine expressed, "Thank you. I've already discussed it with my grandparents, but they haven't agreed yet." "You're too naïve. Sometimes, a false promise is all it takes," Mia advised.
At the moment, Luna only had Asher as leverage. If Jasmine could swallow her pride, she would undoubtedly emerge as the ultimate winner.
