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.

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 abandonedwhen I was young. Life was tough and I was never raised like a rich lady should And this is all your faulYou're the one to blfor whatever that's happening toright 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 ske was pregnant! That was how was born." . englishMia didn't see that coming.
