Shelly retorted, “Don’t feed me that courtesy speech, I’m not na?ve


    to fall for it. Tim and Monalize will marry and have a baby. That’s whe we’ll have the true heir. The


    illegitimate child will be sent away in the end.


    Luna’s expression turned icy.


    At that moment, Sharon stormed down the stairs. “Shelly, what nonsense are you spouting? Asher is


    part of our family, too. Why would we send him, away?”


    “We’ll see,” Shelly replied dismissively, heading upstairs without a care.


    Luna approached Sharon with coffee. “Please don’t be upset, Mrs. Barrett. That’s just how Shelly is.”


    Sharon snorted. “What is she so smug about? Despite cutting ties with


    certain family members, she and her mother still live in the Barrett residence. If it weren’t for Tim’s


    generosity, I would have kicked them out long ago. Shameless!”


    Sharon’s anger still simmered from the fashion show debacle, where Shelly sided with an outsider,


    putting Sharon in an ufortable position.


    It was infuriating.


    “Mre Barrett, I overheard Shelly saying that Tim has invited that woman to the birthday party. So,


    perhaps you should consider postponing the blind date with Ms. Chapman?”


    Sharon disagreed. “No need for that. I intend to give that woman a taste of her own medicine at the


    party.”


    Luna internally celebrated the news, as that was exactly what she was hoping for. She had only


    mentioned it to provoke Sharon.


    The ideal oue would be for both parties to suffer losses when Nikki


    Chapman stirred up trouble tomorrow.


    Luna beckoned Asher. “Come, you should wish your grandmother an early birthday. Otherwise, you’ll


    be too shy when the party begins. It’s going to be crowded.”


    Smiling, Sharon ruffled his hair before instructing the maid to take him


    away.


    Only then did she say, “Luna, as you know, Ms. Chapman will be attending the party. Therefore, it


    wouldn’t be appropriate for Asher to be there. Do you get what I mean?”


    Although Asher’s existence was widely known, his status within the family was an entirely different


    matter. Luna’s expression stiffened. Her mood plummeted.


    Why did her son not deserve to attend the party?

    Still, her rationality prevailed. “Yes, I understand.”


    “Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, I will ensure that Asher is treated right.”


    Luna lowered her head meekly, but a glint of determination shone in her eyes. It hadn’t been easy to


    come this far. She couldn’t just give up now.


    As Mia’s car approached the vicinity of Aide Castle in the evening, her spirits soared at the sight of her


    project brought to life. If Aide Castle’s poprity surged, she could start contemting ns for the


    next one.


    Mia strode confidently toward the party venue in a stunning red evening gown. Her bold demeanor


    attracted the attention of many.


    Luna, stationed near the entrance, caught sight of Mia. She arrived like a star, radiating a captivating


    presence. Jealousy surged within Luna, and she tightly clenched her fists to steady herself.


    After all, today’s event held significant importance for her.


    Two bodyguards stopped Mia at the entrance. “Miss, may we see your


    invitation card, please?”
