Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen

Raymond's expression tightened as he processed Luna's revelation. "Didn't you mention earlier that Asher had severed ties with the Barrett family?" If the Barretts decided to intervene, the situation would undoubtedly become more challenging to navigate.

"I may have implied that, but it was merely a façade," Luna asserted firmly. "The reality is that Asher's bond with the Barrett family is unbreakable.

"Do you seriously believe that bringing Asher into the Shelbert family won't provoke a response from the Barretts?" Raymond's expression hardened instantly. "Your previous words didn't convey that sentiment," he retorted sharply. "Given that I am Asher's mother, I inherently hold the ultimate authority. Timothy's influence is irrelevant in this situation.

"However, if you're adamant about challenging my position, then expect matters to escalate significantly. As Asher's biological mother, I retain the rightful power to determine his future," Luna asserted firmly. At that moment, Jasmine interjected, countering Luna's statement. "Luna, spare us your falsehoods. If the Barrett family genuinely cared about Asher, you wouldn't have been able to take him from Bern City. "And let's not overlook our previous encounter with Mr. Barrett. He knew that Asher was in the care of the Shelbert family but chose not to intervene. That speaks volumes."

In a sudden moment of clarity, Luna's complexion drained of color, her realization that she had been outsmarted hitting her like a blow.

If she were to be ousted, it would mark the catastrophic collapse of everything she had meticulously built over the years.

"I won't let you win!" Luna declared defiantly. "I'm taking Asher with me now. He's my son, and you have no authority to keep him with the Shelbert family!"
