Chapter 1135 At that moment, Luna was engulfed by a sense of impending crisis.

Struggling to muster a smile, she turned to Raymond and began, "But Dad—" "Enough talk. Let's focus on celebrating Asher's birthday for now.

Jazzy, why don't you cut the cake and serve it to everyone?" Raymond interjected.

Nonetheless, Luna couldn't shake off her unease. "Dad, Asher hardly knows her." "They'll get to know each other in time. After all, they're family now," Raymond replied, attempting to reassure Luna.

Jasmine's smile widened. "Absolutely, Dad, I've got everything under control.

I'll introduce Asher to everyone __ shortly.

"With so many other children here, it'll be fantastic for Asher to make new friends. It'll help him develop his social skills in the long run." "That sounds ideal. If you can handle that, I'll be very pleased," Raymond remarked, his tone radiating approval.

Given Raymond's position, assigning him to such tasks might seem beneath him.

On the other hand, Luna's status might not be deemed appropriate for the role.

Therefore, entrusting Jasmine with the introductions appeared to be the most suitable choice.

"This is the least I can do. After all, we're family, right? It's my first time caring for a child, so I might make some mistakes, but I'll do my best to guide Asher. I won't let anyone down," Jasmine assured before bringing Asher around to meet the guests. She then took charge of distributing the cake on her own.

Meanwhile, Luna couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy as she observed from the sidelines. She felt that these tasks should have been hers, but Jasmine's sudden involvement completely overshadowed her.

Unable to hold back, Luna approached Raymond and expressed her concern.

"Dad, Asher has been under my care since he was young. With all these unfamiliar faces here today, isn'tita bit overwhelming for Jazzy to be

responsible for introducing him?" Raymond attempted to calm Luna, assuring her, "Don't worry, Asher seems to be adjusting well. I don't see any reason for concern. Your worries might be unfounded." Despite Raymond's reassurance, Luna's frustration only grew. How could she stand by as Jasmine seemingly replaced her? "Dad, I'm genuinely worried about Jasmine's sudden and extreme change in behavior. We need to proceed with caution. What if there's something dangerous she's hiding? How should we address that?" Luna's mounting unease was evident.

She couldn't shake the feeling that Jasmine's transformation presented a significant risk.

Raymond's expression hardened as he replied, "Luna, don't think for a moment that I'm oblivious to your thoughts. Jasmine's understanding of the situation is a reflection of the values I've imparted to her.

"She's my daughter, and I know her well. And as for you, don't assume that Asher's official status as my grandson entitles you to inherit anything from the Shelbert family.

"Let me be clear—you won't receive a cent from me. Everything I have is for Asher. Don't even entertain the notion of claiming a share." In that instant, Luna felt a pang of foolishness sweep through her. @& It became clear that Raymond had seen through her intentions all along. Yet he chose to remain silent, maintaining

the facade of a caring father while Luna played the role of the concerned daughter. a This pretense persisted until today, the very day when Asher was officially adopted into the Shelbert family.

Luna had envisioned a dramatic turnaround in her life from that moment on, believing it was her opportunity for redemption.

Nonetheless, she couldn't help but notice Raymond's profound joy, which seemed to stem solely from Jasmine's transformation. It underscored just how much he valued her.

On the flip side, Luna felt relegated to nothing more than a means to an end.

She was well aware that if it weren't for Raymond's desire to adopt Asher, she wouldn't have had any reason to

remain in the Shelbert family.

As she lowered her head, Luna's eyes betrayed a mix of resentment and frustration.

Why did Jasmine receive such special treatment when they were both Raymond's daughters? Why was he so ecstatic about Jasmine's acceptance of Asher? Throughout the remainder of the party, Jasmine took Asher around, introducing him to the guests.

Luna found herself pushed to the sidelines, feeling like an outsider witnessing what should have been her moment, now claimed by Jasmine.

Feeling adrift, Luna retreated to the food area, hoping to distract herself and hide her inner turmoil. But lost in

her thoughts, she accidentally collided with a waitress.
