Chapter 1168: Chapter 1165: Want to Confirm This Matter

Although Madam Heath remained silent, she had already taken Jeremy’s side, and she would definitely not stand for any grievances Lady Octavia might cause Jeremy.

"I remember you’re called Jeremy, right? How impolite of you, child. I was talking to Joanna, and you cut in. No matter if it’s a new era or an old era, the rule is always ’the male leads outside, the female leads inside.’ That’s the rule in the Heath family. After I got married, I stayed at home to support my husband and teach our children. Why should it be different for your sister?"

A girl exposing herself day in and day out, what does that look like? Even if those scandals are fake, if they persist, people will take them as true. Is that fair to Ashton? Won’t it affect the reputation of the Heath family?" Rebutted by a junior like Jeremy, Lady Octavia couldn’t save face. Her face darkened, and she coldly scolded.

As soon as she scolded Jeremy, Madam Heath scolded her back: "Why are you being fierce towards Jeremy? As an elder, can’t you just talk nicely when speaking to the younger generation? Besides, Jeremy is right, film shooting is Joanna’s hobby and dream – she can’t give it up just because she married Ashton."

"As for those scandals, I never believed them. There’s no smoke without fire, but those journalists can make up stories to gain attention. Does their word make it gospel? They also said for years Darren had another woman and would divorce you. Are you divorced now?"

Lady Octavia’s face turned a bit pale: "Mom... "

"Enough, I think it’s better for you to go back to your room. What’s the point of making trouble for nothing? Why do you have to tell me about Joanna and Ashton going public? Whether they choose to go public or not, it’s something the husband and wife should discuss. We as elders should live our lives well and stop meddling in the younger generation’s affairs, as long as they don’t do anything illegal or against regulation."

"The more you worry, the faster you age, understand? Look, you’ve got fine lines around your eyes lately – it’s because you worry too much."

Upon hearing this, Lady Octavia’s mouth twitched, and her face turned even paler.

Her first reaction was to touch her eyes and even wanted to immediately grab a mirror to check

Women are afraid of aging.

All the more so for a great beauty like Lady Octavia.

So, she always pays special attention to maintenance.

Now hearing Madam Heath say that she had fine lines around her eyes, she looked devastated.

After scolding Lady Octavia, Madam Heath didn’t bother with her any longer but turned her head to look at Joanna and Jeremy, her voice becoming gentle and warm: "Joanna, you and Ashton should go for a walk in the garden after a while to aid digestion. Jeremy can stay with me; we wouldn’t want him to be a third wheel for you and Ashton!"

Ever since Madam Heath learned from Ashton Heath that Jeremy might be part of the Heath family, she couldn’t calm down.

She was eager to confirm the truth.

There were also some questions she wanted to ask Jeremy alone.

Lady Octavia couldn’t understand why Madam Heath had this attitude towards Jeremy, but she only thought that Jeremy and Joanna were both cunning in winning Madam Heath’s favor.

Because Madam Heath had just said she had fine lines, Lady Octavia lost interest in everything else; she just wanted to have a full beauty treatment as soon as possible.

After dinner.

Lady Octavia arranged for a beautician and hurriedly left.

Ashton Heath took Joanna for a walk in the garden.
