Female Novel
Chapter 954
Raymond frowned. "I can't talk about this. This is my personal matter."
"Well, it is your personal matter, but you're joining the election again next year. Here's a piece of advice from me—be careful. Any scandals might pull
your votes down. Don't you think so?
"Besides, my family has been working with you for so many years. We hope you can continue being the mayor without any problem." Mia worded tha
way on purpose.
Luna obviously looked flustered.
Raymond's expression turned solemn too. He nodded. "I will settle the issue as soon as possible. It won't be a problem. And I hope you won't tell this
to Mr. Dominic. I can take care of this trivial matter without a problem."
She nodded. "Of course, I have faith in you, Mr. Shelbert. If you can't even take care of such a trivial matter, you wouldn't have been able to come thi
far"
A furious Luna looked at Raymond. "What do you mean by that? Are you going to abandon me again?"novelbin
He sighed, "You do know that I can't be involved in any scandal right now. If our relationship is exposed, my reputation will be ruined. You won't gain
anything good from this either.”
She snorted, "You just need the Lane family's support. Won't it work the same with the Barrett family's support? They're the richest family in Bern City
They're on the same level as the Lanes."
Mia glanced at Timothy. "Is this how you take care of things? What is going on between you and Luna by the way? Is that child yours?"
Yet, he had the audacity to claim that he had nothing to do with Luna.
If Asher had nothing to do with Timothy, why would Luna claim that the Barretts would support Raymond so confidently?
Frowning, Timothy rebutted Luna's statement, "Since when do you have the right to make decisions in the Barrett family?"
She smirked. "Well, it is true I can't make decisions for your family, but your family owes me. Have you forgotten about your promise, Timothy Barrett"
That you'll look after Asher and me forever? But you sent me to prison for Mia! You didn't even care about me, you betrayer!"
Hearing that, Mia propped her chin and looked at Timothy. She was interested in the behind stories.
Given Luna's statement, it seemed like her relationship with Timothy wasn't that simple.
Besides, he would never make such a promise to a woman that easily.
Now, she was more curious about Luna's relationship with the Barrett family.
Raymond chided, "Don't talk like that. It's rude.”
She barked, "Force of habit. Can't help it. You abandoned me when I was young. Life was tough and I was never raised like a rich lady should. And
this is all your fault. You're the one to blame for whatever that's happening to me right now.”
While Raymond lowered his head wordlessly, Mia blurted in surprise, "You're Mr. Shelbert's illegitimate daughter.”
Luna barked a humorless laugh. "Illegitimate my ass! He abandoned my mother to get married to a rich lady back then. It was only after that that my
mother realized that she was pregnant! That was how I was born."
Mia didn't see that coming.
If Luna was Raymond's daughter, what did Timothy have to do with this?
