Raymond frowned. "I can't talk about this. This is my personal matter."
"Well, it is your personal matter, but you're joining the election again next year. Here's a piece of advice from me—be careful. Any scandals might pull your votes down. Don't you think so?
"Besides, my family has been working with you for so many years. We hope you can continue being the mayor without any problem." Mia worded that way on purpose.
Luna obviously looked flustered.
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. If you can't even take care of such a trivial matter, you wouldn't have been able to come this far."
A furious Luna looked at Raymond. "What do you mean by that? Are you going to abandon me again?"
He sighed, "You do know that I can't be involved in any scandal right now. If our relationship is exposed, my reputation will be ruined. You won't gain anything good from this either."
She snorted, "You just need the Lane family's support. Won't it work the same with the Barrett family's support? They're the richest family in Bern City. They're on the same level as the Lanes."
Mia glanced at Timothy. "Is this how you take care of things? What is going on between you and Luna by the way? Is that child yours?"
Yet, he had the audacity to claim that he had nothing to do with Luna.
If Asher had nothing to do with Timothy, why would Luna claim that the Barretts would support Raymond so confidently?
