Furthermore, Shelly attended the banquet today for a blind date. Several women from prominent families had already spoken highly of her and they even hoped to arrange a match with their sons. If she married into a wealthy family in Nord City, she would become a wealthy wife herself.
Yet, Luna was just a poor woman with no financial resources and relied on men to achieve success. She wondered what qualifications Luna had to lecture her.
When Luna heard those words, her expression suddenly transformed into one of anger. She gritted her teeth and declared, "Stop looking down on me. I've found my family now. I'm no longer the person you used to bully."
"Found your family? Are you under the impression that this is some kind of television series? Do you truly believe that Mia somehow managed to find her long-lost family and became the esteemed daughter of the Lane family? And you, do you really think you've also found your family and have now ascended as the cherished daughter of a wealthy family? Stop daydreaming!"
After Shelly's remarks, she turned to Sharon and said, "Aunt Sharon, come here and see this. Luna claimed that she found her family and insisted that my status is not comparable to hers. What a joke! That's the funniest thing I've heard all year."
Luna, whom she had always looked down on, was acting so condescendingly. She had absolutely no right to behave in such a manner.
Sharon came over after hearing the noise, her surprise evident as she looked at Luna. She had heard about the relationship between Luna and Raymond before. It was because of Raymond that Luna was able to get out of prison.
Ever since their encounter at Jasmine's party, Sharon couldn't shake the suspicion that Luna might be Raymond's mistress. However, after a conversation with some well-respected ladies earlier, she discovered that Luna was actually Raymond's illegitimate daughter.
Despite Raymond's claim that Luna was the daughter of an old friend whom he took in and treated as his own, only few were convinced of that claim. In fact, this was the common practice among affluent families of treating illegitimate children in such a manner.
However, Sharon couldn't embarrass Raymond, so she calmly stated, "Shelly, it's important to speak with politeness. You shouldn't raise your voice like that."
