Chapter 1000: Chapter 998: I advise you to be smart

"I don’t have a clue what you want to talk to me about."

"Heh." Rebecca Kelloway watched her with an ironic expression, "Why play the fool, Joanna Lawrence? You know exactly why I’m here to talk to you, and I don’t like to beat around the bush, so I’ll just get straight to it."

"To tell you the truth, Lady Octavia visited today intending to persuade Ashton away from you. The fact that Lady Octavia doesn’t like you should be crystal clear to you. Ashton married you into the Heath family secretly, behind their backs. If Ashton hadn’t stealthily gotten a marriage license with you, based on the normal process, you would never have married into the Heath family."

"You’re aware of that, aren’t you?"

Rebecca Kelloway couldn’t stand Joanna Lawrence down to her core.

In her eyes, Joanna had such a lowly origin that she couldn’t even rate.

If it weren’t for Ashton Heath, someone like Joanna wouldn’t even be worthy of talking to her.

From the moment of her birth, she was a well-bred lady of noble status.

Therefore, when facing Joanna, she always had a sense of superiority radiating from her bones.

She always seemed to be pedestalizing herself.

Even when she spoke, she was always on her high horse, with an air of arrogance.

"So what?" Joanna’s expression on her face remained unchanged, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, with a nonchalant manner, "What is Ms. Kelloway trying to convey?"

Seeing that Joanna was still playing dumb, Rebecca scoffed in irritation. "Joanna Lawrence, I really don’t know what you’re thinking. You are well aware Lady Octavia dislikes you, Ashton only married you because you had some therapeutic effect on his androphobia. So, why do you keep shamelessly sticking to him?"

"Is it because you can’t let go of the position as the young lady of the Heath family?"

"But you need to understand one thing, just because you married Ashton, doesn’t mean that your position as the young lady of the Heath family is secured. Lady Octavia is, after all, Ashton’s biological mother. Any rift they may have now is temporary. Ashton treats you well now because you’ve only been together a short time, he still finds you novel, and you still have some use for him."

"Before that, he really wouldn’t have considered divorce."

"But what about later?" Rebecca Kelloway looked maliciously gleeful, "When you’ve been together a long time, will he still find you novel? When his illness is cured, will you still be of use to him?"

"At that time, he will dump you without hesitation."

"Oh, really?" Joanna just listened to her, still looking unconcerned, as if she didn’t take her words seriously at all. "So, I’m really curious, what is Ms. Kelloway trying to tell me?"

Rebecca Kelloway felt that Joanna was playing dumb.

She knew full well what Rebecca was implying, yet she deliberately pretended not to understand.

She gritted her teeth and spat venomously, "If you were smart, you’d leave him now and get a decent payout. Otherwise, once he tires of you, you may not get a dime."

"Joanna Lawrence, I advise you to use your brain. The payout you can get now would be enough to provide you with a lifetime of comfort. If you insist on staying with the Heath family, nothing good will come your way."

Joanna’s face hadn’t shown any expression throughout, but at this point, she finally couldn’t help but laugh.
