"That's not exactly right. All I can say is that it became complicated."

"Ms. Mia, you don't have to worry if the project will belong to us or not. Back then, your family said that you could run a company to kill some time. If Mr. Dominic knows that you're all upset because of this project, he'll be worried."

Mia massaged her temples. "This has nothing to do with the project. I met that woman in Mr. Shelbert's room. Guess who it was."

"Who?" Peyton asked.

"Luna Maynard."

Peyton was shocked. "Didn't we personally send her to prison? How is she able to show up in Nord City? Getting so close with Mr. Shelbert at that! Is she his mistress? Is Asher his son?"

"I had the same guess, thinking that Asher was surely Mr. Shelbert's illegitimate child. But it turns out that Luna is his illegitimate daughter."

Peyton paused momentarily. "What a surprise. Ms. Maynard has always been a show-off. If she's actually his daughter, she'll surely brag about it. Weirdly, she has never talked about it."

"Luna was able to stay with the Barretts by acting pitiful like she had no one to depend on. That was why Timothy let her stay. Luna kept her identity from him."
