Chapter 1078
Raymond cleared his throat and replied quickly, "Don't worry, Luna. Once you become part of our Shelbert family, you'll be my daughter, and I'll treat you as my own. No one will ever look down on you. Trust me, there's nothing to worry about."
As long as Luna returned to his side and received proper care, it made no difference whether he acknowledged her as his daughter or not. It was a win-win situation for him.
Jasmine smiled and replied, "Indeed. My dad has always been supportive and kind to others. With Luna now here in our home, we're truly becoming a family. Luna, please know that you don't need to worry about these events. If you ever have any doubts or need assistance in the future, I'll be here to guide you and teach you."
Raymond nodded to Jasmine with deep satisfaction and remarked, "You've truly matured. Luna has endured so much since childhood and is quite inexperienced in these matters. You should guide her to socialize more and teach her your ways. As Asher's mother, she can't be ignorant."
Jasmine felt bitter, yet she still managed to force a smile as she responded, "Don't worry, Dad. I'll definitely teach Luna properly."
It was difficult to make that decision. However, seeing Luna's frustration, anger, and powerlessness, she felt that she made the right choice. Ultimately, there was nothing wrong with beating someone at their own game.
Luna tried her best to maintain control over her expression. Any display of anger at this critical moment would render all her previous attempts pointless. She also worried that if she made any wrong move, Raymond would not recognize her or bring her out to events again.
Luna took a deep breath and said, "I still have a lot of things I don't understand. I'm afraid of inadvertently making a mistake in front of everyone in the future. I need your help to prevent that from happening. We're going to be a family, and I don't want to be the one to embarrass our Shelbert name with a joke that falls flat."
Jasmine's eyes grew cold as she pondered whether Luna's words meant something more was she threatening them?
Jasmine said with a half-smile, "Don't worry. I'll try my best. After all, teachers can only guide us, but learning ultimately depends on ourselves. Luna, you'll have to work harder in the future."
Luna glared at Jasmine with an expression of reluctance. She couldn't believe that this bitch dared to speak to her in such a way.
Mia witnessed Luna's defeat and locked eyes with Jasmine. Without uttering a single word, they communicated through the unspoken language of their shared gaze.
Someone nearby quickly intervened to smooth things over. "Mr. Shelbert, your daughter is remarkably well-educated. She's incredibly kind and generous. You're truly fortunate to have her, unlike the brat in our family. He always disappoints everyone."
"That's right. What are the advantages of having a son nowadays? You still have to clean up his mess. It's far more advantageous to have a daughter. A daughter is thoughtful, diligent, ambitious, and compassionate."
"I agree. When I was sick before, only my daughter was there to take care of me, and my son was nowhere to be found. What's the point of having a son?"
Luna's expression froze as she pondered why having a son would be considered useless.
The only reason she was able to return to Raymond's side was because he valued sons more than daughters. Raymond desired to have his own son to inherit the family business, and that was her ticket back to him.
Jasmine's eyes turned cold as she said loudly, "Indeed, Dad has consistently displayed a preference for girls over boys. He instilled in me the belief that there is no distinction between genders, raising me to be his rightful heir."novelbin
Luna's expression suddenly changed upon hearing that.
