Chapter 1048


    Before, Sharon had spent a ton of cash on her brother. She might be bailing him out again.


    After Mia messaged Peyton, she approached Jasmine and asked, "How''s Mrs. Shelbert''s condition now? Is everything going smoothly?"


    "I don''t know yet, the doctor hasn''t given an update. What should I do if something happens to my mother?" Jasmine replied anxiously.


    "You have to stay strong. Mrs. Shelbert will be fine. This incident shouldn''t shake her up too bad," Mia reassured her.This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    After all, Alison had stood by Raymond''s side from the beginning. If shecked guts even now, she wouldn''t have been able to stick with him until he achieved his current position as mayor.


    Though Alison had stepped back from the limelight, Mia believed she must be someone remarkable.


    Jasmine smiled bitterly and said, "But she loves my dad so much. They had a great rtionship before. I used to believe that too. But now, with Luna in the picture, everything''s changed. It made me realize how unpredictable people''s hearts can be."


    Mia paused for a moment before saying, "Don''t dwell on it too much now. Let''s talk after her surgery''s done."


    "Mia, I swear I''ll make Luna pay with my own hands. I''ll wipe her and her illegitimate child off the face of this earth to put an end to my dad''s absurd visions," Jasmine eximed.


    Jasmine had never hated anyone as much as she hated Luna. She had returned to the country this time expecting to start a happy life, but ended up hitting a major setback. Jasmine wiped her tears. "It''s all because of Luna that our family''s in such a mess now. If she disappears, everything will go back to normal." "Hahaha, you sure live up to your name. So naive." Luna rolled in on a wheelchair, sporting a hospital gown. Surprisingly, she looked well. Mia frowned at Luna''s appearance. It seemed Alison''s condition had worsened this time because Luna had informed her about this matter. Fuming, Jasmine shrieked at Luna. "You slut! How dare you show your face here? You''re not wee. Get out!"


    Luna clicked her tongue twice before saying, "I can go wherever I want in this hospital. Who are you to stop me? Besides, I came here to check on your mom. I want to see if she''s kicked the bucket yet."


    Upon hearing this, Mia immediately grabbed Jasmine''s hand. "Calm down, don''t let her words get to you."


    It was obvious that Luna had said this on purpose to provoke Jasmine. But Jasmine couldn''t hold back. She lunged forward, pped Luna, and tipped over the wheelchair.


    Pointing at Luna''s nose, Jasmine scolded, "You''re a living disgrace! You don''t even deserve to return to the family!


    "The reason why the Shelbert family


    is where it is today is all thanks to


    my mom and the help of my


    grandparents. Your son will


    vel:


    never


    get a single penny from the family."


    Luna sneered, "But it''s all thanks to Dad that the family''se this far. And this money is rightfully his."


    "Without Mom, his family would''ve


    gone bankrupt ages ago. Where do you think the money came from? It''s all my mom''s. Dad''s useless! He has no right to touch a cent of the


    Shelbert family''s wealth!"


    At this moment, Raymond stepped out with a dark expression. "Jasmine, have I spoiled you too much? How dare you say such things?"


    Seeing Raymond''s coincidental appearance, Mia understood why Luna had deliberately provoked Jasmine earlier.
