Meet My Brothers

Observing Luna's self-important demeanor, Mia calmly countered, "Well, it seems this gathering isn't solely in your honor, is it? Was there a necessity for your invitation?" It appeared that certain individuals were distinctly detached from reality, oblivious to their position.

Despite this being a mere social affair, Luna paraded about as though she were the heiress to the Shelbert family fortune, poised to inherit their entire legacy.

Was Luna truly incapable of maintaining her composure?

Upon hearing Mia's words, Luna's expression shifted uneasily, though she swiftly concealed it behind a smile. "But today's celebration is for Asher. As his mother, I have the right to determine the guest list, don't I?"

Deep within, Luna harbored a sense of gratification. Finally, it was her moment to relish the taste of triumph.

Mia's voice lowered to a whisper. "Maybe if you looked in the mirror, you'd see that smug expression on your face."

Luna responded with a cold chuckle, "And so what if I do? Mia, it appears you're simply jealous. Despite yours and Jasmine's efforts to obstruct my return to the Shelbert family, you ultimately couldn't prevent it."

Raising an eyebrow, Mia shot back, "Oh, is that so? Does hosting a banquet on my turf make you feel invincible?"

Luna's haughty expression wavered slightly at Mia's words. Despite her hesitations, she couldn't overlook the prestige of Aide Castle Hotel in Nord City.

Luna found herself compelled to host the banquet here, despite her disdain for Mia.

However, as long as Luna emerged victorious over Jasmine, nothing else mattered.

With rising fury, Luna countered, "It's just a hotel. What's with all the boasting? Remember, I'm still your customer.

"And as the owner, shouldn't you be more accommodating? Otherwise, I might be compelled to inform others about the shortcomings of your establishment."

"Well, Ms. Maynard, if you're not satisfied, feel free to speak with our staff. We'll promptly arrange your departure. Here at Aide Castle Hotel, customer satisfaction is our top priority. If you're unhappy, you're welcome to leave immediately."

After Mia's reply, Luna was left speechless, her disbelief nearly choking her.

She had only intended to taunt Mia with her earlier remarks, never imagining Mia would have the audacity to suggest she leave.

How could this be happening?

There was no chance she would willingly leave!

After her humiliation at the last investment banquet, Luna had to restore her reputation today.

"Luna, don't waste your time with someone like her."

Just then, Mia caught a familiar scent of perfume. She immediately knew who the newcomer was without needing to guess.

But considering Sharon had already been forcefully sent away, Mia found it unexpected that Shelly was still hanging around.

As Shelly arrived, Luna couldn't help but steal a sidelong glance in her direction. Finally, it appeared that this dimwit might prove useful after all.

Despite Shelly's prior disdain for Luna, she now found herself groveling at Luna's feet, eager to capitalize on Luna's connections within the elite circles of Nord City.

of hope rested in Nord City, where perhaps a wealthy family would overlook the Barrett family's status and deem her a suitable match.

Giving Shelly pointed look, Mia replied, "Have you conveniently forgotten how you used to belittle Luna, both openly and behind closed doors Now that Luna seems to be

"Shelly, you're an heiress of the Barrett family, for goodness' sake. Can't you hold onto a shred of self-respect? Please, show some dignity!"

At times, Mia found it puzzling. After all, both Shelly and Luna were part of the Barrett family, so why was Shelly so different?

Not long ago, Shelly and Luna were

constantly at odds. But to Mia's surprise, Shelly had undergone a dramatic transformation, almost as if she were an entirely different person.
