Mia's mind raced with questions as she observed the unexpected arrival of Jasmine's grandparents. Why were they here? Hadn't Jasmine informed her family about the event beforehand?

These thoughts stirred a sense of unease in Mia.

Raymond's reaction mirrored Mia's concern.

With a glance at Jasmine, he noted, "Your grandparents have arrived."

His words carried an unspoken request for Jasmine to shed light on Ernest and Irene's unexpected presence at the event.

With the party already in full swing and proceeding smoothly, Raymond hoped to avoid any disruptions their presence might bring, especially at such a late stage.

Jasmine's expression tightened as she explained, "Dad, I'm not sure why Grandpa Ernest and Grandma Irene decided to come to today's gathering, but I'll ensure to handle this situation appropriately. You can count on me."

With Jasmine's assurance, Raymond breathed a sigh of relief.

Approaching Ernest and Irene, he inquired, "Mom, Dad, what prompted your sudden visit

    As Luna wrestled with her thoughts, apprehension churned within her.Glancing at her, Raymond suggested, "Why don't you come over and say hello to your two elders? And later, make sure to bring Asher over to greet them as well."With a heavy heart, Luna complied. But before she could approach, Irene's voice cut through the air like ice. "There's no need to bring the kid over. Our family doesn't have any such child, and I refuse to acknowledge his identity."A glint of surprise flickered in Luna's eyes at Irene's words. Could it be that Jasmine hadn't convinced her grandparents, but had deceived them instead?This realization brought some comfort to Luna.Without hesitation, she turned to Raymond, feigning concern as she asked, "Dad, how do you think we should handle this situation?"Meanwhile, Jasmine cautiously approached, addressing Ernest and Irene, "Grandpa, Grandma, could we please return home for now? I promise to explain everything later.""Jazzy, you've deeply disappoint

    Raymond was initially surprised by Ernest and Irene's change of heart, but he quickly composed himself, saying, "Please, share any conditions you have. I'm committed to accommodating them to the best of my ability."The news of Ernest and Irene's willingness to accept Asher's presence came as a great relief to Raymond.Not only would it ease a significant burden, but it would also preempt any concerns about potential adversaries exploiting the situation in the future.Meanwhile, Luna couldn't shake off a sense of unease. She found herself pondering what sort of conditions these two elders might propose.Maintaining her composure, Irene directed her attention toward Luna. "I have just one condition," she stated calmly, "and that is for this woman to sever ties with the Shelbert family entirely, ensuring she never comes into contact with Asher again. Only then will I consider accepting Asher."Upon hearing Irene's ultimatum, Luna felt the blood drain from her face, and she struggled

    Jasmine finally rose to her feet and spoke earnestly, "Dad, trust me. I'll provide Asher with excellent care. You won't be disappointed."Raymond nodded, a sense of relief washing over him. "I have faith in you. I believe you won't let me down.""How could you do this, Dad? Are you deliberately trying to drive me away? Could you have even welcomed Asher into the Shelbert family without my help?" Luna protested.She couldn't make sense of it. Raymond had readily agreed to Jasmine's grandparents' demand to keep Asher, but it meant Luna would be forced to leave.But where could Luna possibly go?She had fought tirelessly to be accepted into the Shelbert family, to be Raymond's beloved daughter. The mere thought of leaving was inconceivable to her.Jasmine seized the opportunity to address Luna, saying, "Luna, there's no need for such distress. Sending you away doesn't mean you're being ousted from the family."It's simply that, for now, it's not conducive for you to be around Asher

    Raymond's expression tightened as he processed Luna's revelation. "Didn't you mention earlier that Asher had severed ties with the Barrett family?"If the Barretts decided to intervene, the situation would undoubtedly become more challenging to navigate."I may have implied that, but it was merely a façade," Luna asserted firmly. "The reality is that Asher's bond with the Barrett family is unbreakable."Do you seriously believe that bringing Asher into the Shelbert family won't provoke a response from the Barretts?"Raymond's expression hardened instantly. "Your previous words didn't convey that sentiment," he retorted sharply."Given that I am Asher's mother, I inherently hold the ultimate authority. Timothy's influence is irrelevant in this situation."However, if you're adamant about challenging my position, then expect matters to escalate significantly. As Asher's biological mother, I retain the rightful power to determine his future," Luna asserted firmly.At that moment, J

    If Jasmine's words rang true, it appeared inevitable that Raymond would unquestionably opt to forsake Luna.Standing tall, Jasmine directed a commanding gaze toward Luna. "Your defeat is undeniable this time. I won't ever permit you the chance to conspire against me or my mother again.""Bitch, slow down. Asher is still under the Shelbert family's care, and I'm determined to bring him back.""And do you really think that opportunity will ever come? Asher is under my control now, and I'll do whatever I want with him," Jasmine asserted firmly."Bitch! If you so much as harm Asher in the slightest, I won't let you get away with it. I'll tell Dad and expose all your schemes!"Unfazed, Jasmine dismissed Luna's threat and directed the bodyguards, "Take her away and ensure she doesn't wander off."As Mia observed the unfolding events, her suspicions crystallized. The arrival of Ernest and Irene only confirmed her intuition that the situation ran deeper than what met the eye.With the r

    "Mia, just name it, and if it's within my means, consider it done for you.""So, you're planning to send Luna abroad, right? Maybe consider letting her flee to Bern City. She might seek shelter with Timothy's family there.""Mia, I'm not entirely clear on your strategy here. What if Luna does manage to garner support?""The trap has been set with the information I fed Luna earlier. She'll likely try to return to confirm my words."Unbeknownst to Jasmine, Mia was eagerly anticipating Luna's return to Bern City.Fuelled by the urgency to unravel the events of years past and shed light on Laura's injury, Mia had quietly awaited this moment.If Luna was indeed responsible, Mia would ensure she faced the consequences.As Jasmine mulled over Mia's plan, she found herself nodding in agreement. "Sure, I'll handle it. But given Asher's ties to the Barrett family, do you think Mr. Barrett might step in?"Jasmine couldn't shake off her uncertainty, particularly after noticing Luna's confi

    Upon receiving the news, Mia jolted upright from her seat, her mind suddenly blank.Truth be told, when she had informed Luna about Laura regaining consciousness, it had been a lie. Deep down, Mia knew the chances of Laura waking up were slim.Yet, she never imagined Laura actually waking up. It felt like a true miracle, an unexpected stroke of luck."How did the doctors react? How is Grandma doing now?" "I've just landed and am on my way to the hospital. The details are still unclear, but the doctor said Grandma waking up is nothing short of miraculous."And I have to thank you for sending those two stalks of reishi mushrooms earlier. They might have played a part," Timothy replied."Grandma Laura has always been incredibly kind to me. Sending those two stalks of reishi mushrooms was the least I could do. If it helps her wake up, I'd buy ten more without hesitation," Mia expressed earnestly.Even now, Mia couldn't shake the memory of Laura's unwavering familial love during her

    At that moment, a hush settled over the dining room.Breaking the silence, Ginger's sweet voice rang out. "Mommy, what's the proper way to address her?"Mia responded tenderly, "You should call her Great-Grandma Laura.""In that case, I need to find Great-Grandma Laura a present!" Ginger declared.Mia's lips curved into a warm smile upon hearing Ginger's words.Meanwhile, Sage casually stole a glance at Ginger and remarked, "Uncle Dominic hasn't given us the go-ahead for our trip to Bern City yet."Turning his attention to Sage and Ginger, Dominic asked, "So, do both of you want to go back?"Ginger nodded eagerly. "Great-Grandma Laura seems really sick. Maybe if I spend more time with her, she'll recover faster!"In a fleeting moment, Mia's eyes shimmered with emotion. Ginger, always the comforting presence, never ceased to touch her heart.Maintaining his stoic demeanor, Sage remarked, "It doesn't matter to me."Just then, Eva interjected, "Now that Mrs. Barrett Senior has f

    None of the major shareholders was a fool.After that, Mia was busy handling Barrett Group affairs and barely had time to rest.With an exhausted look, she returned to the hospital.Mia looked at Timothy and said, "I'll run away if you don't wake up soon.""No… Please don't go…" Timothy grabbed her hand. His gaze was deep.Mia's eyes reddened as she gazed at the man who had just regained consciousness. Timothy finally came out of his coma.After that, everything was back to normal. Those who caused trouble quieted down.Sharon visited Timothy and told him that she was going to settle down overseas and would not come back anymore.Timothy bought her a property and gave her a huge sum of money before sending her away from Bern City.As for Maya, it was discovered that she was not the granddaughter of the Prime Minister of Yellow Island but merely his caregiver. Yet, she had been deceiving people outside.After Maya was exposed, she ran away dejectedly. Nobody knew where she was

    Sage stood beside Timothy in silence.Soon, news that Timothy was hospitalized spread, and Barrett Group's stock plunged.The relatives of the Barrett family requested to hold a board meeting to elect another CEO.On the day of the board meeting, Mia brought her two children to Barrett Group.They managed to keep everyone on a leash as Sage bore a striking resemblance to Timothy.Mia marched into the meeting room, sat in Timothy's chair, and glanced at everyone present. "Let's begin. Didn't you all want to have a meeting?"One of the middle-aged men said, "Ms. Lane, this is the Barrett Group board meeting. It's not appropriate for you to be here.""That's right. Though the kids are Mr. Barrett's children, they're still young and do not have any shares. You all shouldn't be here."Mia flung a document onto the table. "This is an agreement signed by Grandma Laura to authorize me to manage Timothy's shares.""Anyway, we still need to elect a CEO to handle our company affairs.""

    "Because to me, you're my family too," Timothy said.When Sharon heard the word 'family', her eyes turned red. Then, she turned around and left the ward.Mia walked out and asked Peyton to send Sharon to the hospital for a checkup.Looking at Sharon's back, Mia said, "I hope you don't let him down since he regards you as his family. He's the only one you can depend on now."Sharon did not turn her head around. Mia did not know if Sharon would listen to her advice.Mia immediately called her brother. "Dominic, I met Maya."She then told him everything about Maya.Dominic frowned. "I never thought she would go to Yellow Island.""Do you think she's really the granddaughter of the Prime Minister of Yellow Island?""Don't you know how good she is at lying?" Dominic said.Mia nodded. "Yeah, you're right. But I still don't know whether she's related to Yellow Island.""Don't worry, I'll find out."When Mia returned to the ward after ending the call, she saw a doctor bustling arou

    Mia went straight to the hospital to ask Timothy about the matter.But when she arrived, someone had reached there earlier than her."Timothy, what do you mean? All I did was pull a few strings, but you want to humiliate me publicly. How am I going to maintain my standing in the company?" Sharon said.Mia went in with a frown. "This is funny. It's not just about pulling a few strings, but it's aimed at me. Mrs. Barrett, your actions have leaked confidential commercial information.""Stop trying to scare me. It's my son who opened doors for you. It's the Yellow Islanders who wanted to collaborate with us, and they are much better than you," Sharon retorted. Mia said with a half-hearted smile, "At first, I didn't want to pursue this matter. But since you put it this way, wait for my lawyer's letter then.""Such big talk, huh?" A mysterious-looking woman wearing a hat and a mask walked in from outside.Mia felt that the woman looked somewhat familiar. "Are you the rumored granddau

    Mia glanced at the person on the screen. Without answering the woman, she turned off the laptop.After all, there was no need for Mia to explain anything.After Mia turned off the laptop assertively, she turned around and looked at Timothy. He did not say a word but started eating.Soon, Heath received a call. He left the ward and said to the woman on the other side of the phone, "She's Mr. Barrett's ex-wife. You'd better not mess with her."While Timothy was eating, Mia finished reading the proposal in her hand.She had to admit that the document was very valuable.Mia was about to leave the ward when Timothy almost finished eating, but his voice sounded behind her. "What did you say when you met her at the cafe earlier?""Did you follow me?""I followed her, to be exact. After all, the Hopkins are not good people."Mia totally agreed with that.She paused briefly before she said, "Grandma Laura asked me to talk to her because she doesn't agree with you about giving her all

    "You don't know anything," Sharon said.Mia retorted, "I might not know everything, but Timothy is innocent. Before he knew the truth, he always regarded you as his mother. Even after he found out the truth, he has never mistreated you."Besides, when you said you wanted the Barrett family's wealth, he agreed. Tell me, who else could do what he did?"Mia felt that Timothy might have been hurt by Sharon's words.He seemed impressive on the outside, but his identity was a dark secret.Therefore, his relationship with Sharon became awkward.Sharon's eyes reddened. "But I also treat him like my biological son.""You're also his foster mother. Now everyone related to him is dead, and you're the only one he has. What are you afraid of?"Sharon wiped off her tears. "I'm not afraid of anything. It's just that I felt that I can't trust anyone.""Timothy is a man of his word. However, Grandma Laura said that if you remain stubborn, making the will public is her only option," Mia said.

    Mia noticed Sharon's expression changing slightly when she mentioned Laura.Sharon took her cup of coffee and said, "What? Does Mrs. Barrett Senior still want to lecture me even when she's on her deathbed? She must have known Timothy's identity all along, but she conspired with her son to keep the truth from me. "She and the Barretts are birds of a feather. What else does she have to say?"Mia was not surprised by her words. She had expected that Sharon would certainly think this way.Fortunately, she managed to stop Laura when she said she wanted to meet Sharon.Sharon was emotionally unstable now. What if Laura said something unpleasant and Sharon retorted? Her words might upset Laura.Mia took a kraft envelope out of her handbag and placed it in front of Sharon. "I hope you won't regret saying those words after reading this.""What's this?""This is the will that your husband left behind, as well as the divorce agreement."Hearing that, Sharon quickly took the document out

    Mia hesitated to risk exposing Laura to Sharon's potential agitation.Due to Sharon's emotional vulnerability, she often spoke impulsively. With Laura's delicate health in mind, any disruption was simply out of the question.As Laura recounted past events, Mia remained silent, absorbing her words.Upon hearing Laura's story, Mia was taken aback. She hadn't expected there to be hidden aspects to Timothy's family history.Taking a moment, she asked, "Does Timothy have any knowledge of this?""He doesn't. Some things are best kept from him," Laura replied calmly.Mia harbored some lingering questions in her mind. Unable to suppress them any longer, she asked, "Considering your knowledge of Timothy's background, what is your opinion of him?""Tim is a commendable young man, and he has never let our family down. He has achieved remarkably well for himself. To be honest, I feel indebted to him as well."At first, I only kept him around for the sake of preserving the Barrett family li

    Despite her initial reluctance, Mia eventually found herself making her way to Timothy's ward.As she entered, she couldn't help but notice Timothy's expressionless demeanor as he lay there.Carrying a tray of food, Mia approached him. "The doctor pointed out your extreme fatigue. It's crucial that you increase your food intake and prioritize proper rest to reduce the risk of sudden complications."Upon hearing Mia's voice, Timothy lifted his gaze to find her seated beside him. His lips moved slightly as he asked, "What did you tell Luna?""Not much," Mia responded. "Just a sprinkle of salt on the wound and a dash of psychological pressure to make sure Luna doesn't have it easy in prison."Placing the tray of food in front of him, Mia urged, "Please, just a few bites.""I'll eat later. By the way, the kids have been here at the hospital for quite a while. You should take them home," Timothy suggested.Frowning, Mia insisted, "You should eat something first."As her words faded,
