Chapter 1108: Chapter 1106: Don’t You Think You’re Too Biased?

*

After Ashton Heath finished talking to Madam Heath, they stayed for about an hour before leaving with Joanna Lawrence and Jeremy Lawrence.

Throughout their visit, Lady Octavia, who claimed to be feeling unwell, never appeared.

As soon as the guests had left, Madam Heath coldly ordered a maid to fetch Lady Octavia.

"Tell her I want to see her. No matter how unwell she feels, she must come down immediately."

Soon enough, the maid had brought Lady Octavia down the stairs.

"Mom, were you looking for me?" Lady Octavia came down, and upon seeing Madam Heath’s stern face sitting in the living room, she hesitated before slowly approaching her.

Madam Heath did not speak, just let out a cold laugh.

This laughter caused Lady Octavia’s face to turn pale in fear.

She carefully asked, "Mom, is there a problem?"

Madam Heath lifted her head to look at her with a cold gaze. She spoke in an even colder voice: "Don’t you already know why I want to talk to you? Octavia Bridge, how old are you? Still holding a grudge against your own son and daughter-in-law no less. They’ve only just returned after a long time, yet you put up that act. Do you want them never to come back?"

"Do you think your behavior today was appropriate for an elder?"

"How do you think people see the Heath family because of you? Let me tell you, I’m aware of all the little thoughts in your head. But listen very carefully: No matter what you think, you must give up those ideas."

"Ashton is already married, and I’m very satisfied with Joanna. If you dare to cause any trouble and ruin my grandson and granddaughter-in-law’s marriage, I won’t forgive you!"

Lady Octavia’s face changed, showing a mix of frustration and grievance.

Madam Heath sneered coldly, looking at her like this: "What’s the matter? Do you feel wronged? Do you think I’ve been unfair to you?"

Madam Heath had never been really satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

However, because of her son, she treated her kindly, and even if she was unconvinced at heart, she never made life difficult for Lady Octavia.

She thought—regardless of how unsatisfied Lady Octavia was with Joanna, at least she would have the same consideration for her.

She expected her daughter-in-law to take a step back for the sake of her son.

But apparently, she was mistaken.

Her daughter-in-law was not as understanding as she had hoped.

Thus, Madam Heath had no intention of being polite anymore to her.

She despised those who stirred up family strife, disrupting the peace of a harmonious family.

And now Lady Octavia was doing just that—engaging in her most-hated activity.

Lady Octavia bit her lips, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Madam Heath. She thought about Madam Heath’s attitude towards Joanna, then her attitude towards herself.

She couldn’t help but let her grievances accumulate and suddenly could no longer suppress them.

"Mom, you’re playing favorites." She cried out in a pitiful voice.

Lady Octavia, a woman spoiled by her husband, couldn’t help but start sobbing in front of her mother-in-law: "Joanna has only been married to Ashton for a short time, you’ve only met her a few times, but now you’re constantly speaking in her favor."

"She’s always right, but I’m always wrong."

"You’re satisfied with her in every way, but you’re never satisfied with me."

"Mom, don’t you think you’re being too partial? What’s so great about her that you’re so satisfied with her? Is it just because she’s sweeter and more flattering than me? But how many of the words that come out of her mouth are truly sincere? You genuinely care for her, but do you think she feels the same way about you?"
