Luna continued, "I didn't even know that my biological father was the mayor of Nord City the entire time! My mother only toldthe truth on the day she passed on!" Resentment rooted deeply in her. If Raymond had raised her since she was young, she would've had a different identity by now. She wouldn't have needed to suffer so much.
Meanwhile, Mia didn't expect Luna to be Raymond's daughter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMia initially thought that they were having an affair and Asher was their son.
Well, anyone would've thought the same.
But Luna turned out to be Raymond's daughter! What a surprise! It was no wonder Mia could sense the inherent egoism in Luna. It wasn't common to feel that from an ordinary person; it was contradicting.
Now, the reason was revealed.
Luna was supposed to be the daughter of the mayor, but she was kept in the dark. After suffering so much, she felt so wronged when she found out the truth.
According to Mia's guess, Luna must've gone to Raymond but was rejected, to which Luna felt angry and despair.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was the daughter of the mayor of Nord City, but she couldn't even tell that to anyone. No one would've believed in her words either as she didn't have money.
Mia turned to glance at Timothy. "You knew this all along. That's why you helped him look after her." That was the only reason she could cup with.
"No, I didn't know about that." He then looked at Luna. "Since you've found someone to support, you don't have to rely on my family anymore." "Why? You and your family owe me! Don't think of castingaside!" "We never owe you anything, Luna Maynard Never. You went to prison because of your harmful intentions. You plotted against my wife and my child. This is the price you have to pay for your deeds." Luna's eyes glowed at the mention of the matter. "I didn't do that all alone. I was just trying to solve the problem for Mrs. Barrett. What did I do wrong?" Mia retorted, "What did you do wrong? You talked someone else into committing a crime. Get a hold of yourself, Luna Maynard." "Still, I'm innocent. Why must I go to the prison alone? What about Mrs. Barrett? We did it together, but why must I bear the responsibility alone? This is unfair!" Mia said indifferently, "It is, but Mrs.
Barrett should pay the price for her deeds too. You were the mastermind of the plan, so there is a price you have to pay. Don't think that you can avoid it by sneaking to Nord City and finding another backer." Luna smirked provokingly. "I'd like to see how you'll makepay the price." After all, she wasn't the sold Luna anymore. She was not that helpless woman Mia could bully.
Mia looked at Raymond. "Are you intending to protect her? I remember you just implemented a law about t legal justice. If you protect your daughter secretly, how do you think it'll affect your reputation when words get out?" His expression changed as he interrogated Luna, "I thought you said you were innocent? Explain! What happened?" If Luna had not asked someone to tell him that she was falsely accused and sent to prison, he wouldn't have pulled the strings to take her back to Nord City.
After all, she was his daughter! There was no one else she could depend on out there.
