Luna couldn't fathom why Jasmine, seemingly out of nowhere, had decided to prepare a gift for Asher.
"Relax, Luna," Jasmine countered. "Today happens to be my little brother's birthday, so naturally, I've arranged a special gift for him. After all, with our impending family ties, it's only fitting that I set a positive example, don't you think?" Luna couldn't suppress a cynical smile at Jasmine's pompous words. "You've got the family dynamics all twisted. Asher is my son, Dad's grandson-not your little brother." "Oh, I see," Jasmine replied casually. "I assumed Dad had longed for a son, which is why he welcomed Asher as his own." Luna's unease grew as she listened. "What nonsense are you talking about?" she retorted firmly.

What prompts your inquiry, Ms. Maynard?" "Well, Jazzy hadn't mentioned attending today's banquetbeforehand. Not to mention I meticulously planned this event myself and had no inkling about this special gift. So, I can only assit's a unique surprise arranged by your hotel," Luna clarified Mia agreed with a nod. "If that's how you perceive it, then you're correct. It's a custom gift crafted in collaboration with Ms. Jasmine and our hotel." Luna's smile broadened. "Ah, I understand now. If it's a special surprise from Aide Castle Hotel, then it's bound to be worth the anticipation. Our guests are all here due to your hotel's renown all ne reputation, after all. Ms. Lane, I'm confident you won't disappoint us." Mia sensed the underlying implications in Luna's remarks.
