Chapter 1292: Chapter 1288: Coming for Jeremy Lawrence

"Ms. Joanna." Tedd greeted her respectfully when he saw her. He glanced into the car and, seeing that she was the only one who came back, couldn’t help but ask, "Did Mr. Ashton not come back with you, Ms. Joanna?"

"He’s at work; I came back by myself."

As Joanna walked inside, she asked Tedd, "Is there anything going on at home?"

Lady Octavia had taken the initiative to call her and invite her to lunch, and her attitude had been unusually friendly.

This made Joanna feel a little strange.

"Madam Heath is not at home today, and there’s nothing going on at home. Why did you suddenly think of coming back on your own, Ms. Joanna? Did you come back to see Madam Heath? You should have called in advance to ask; then you wouldn’t have made the trip for nothing."

Joanna paused.

She turned to look at Tedd, her eyebrows furrowing: "Grandma is not at home?"

"Yes," Tedd replied respectfully, "Madam Heath goes to the temple every first and fifteenth of the month and stays there for a day. She just left not long ago."

Joanna pursed her lips.

So, Lady Octavia called her just after Madam Heath had left?

Lady Octavia had specifically chosen a time when Madam Heath was not at home to invite Joanna back, which made her more vigilant. She said to Tedd, "My mom called me to come back for lunch. I thought it was Madam Heath’s idea, but she’s not even at home."

"Lady Octavia called you?" Tedd pondered for a moment before saying, "Perhaps she has something to tell you. Oh, right, Lady Delilah is also here. You haven’t met Lady Delilah yet, have you?"

"Lady Delilah?"

"Yes, the wife of our Sir Damien, which makes her your second aunt."

Joanna’s expression changed slightly.

She suddenly had a bad feeling.

Lady Delilah might have come for Jeremy.

Lady Octavia had called her because of Lady Delilah.

Joanna thought for a moment and asked, "Is Uncle Damien here?"

"Only Lady Delilah came; Sir Damien is not here." Tedd hesitated for a moment and then decided to warn her, "Ms. Joanna, Lady Delilah might have come because of Mr. Jeremy. Lady Delilah is... not someone easy to deal with, and since Mr. Jeremy is the offspring of Sir Damien’s extramarital... Anyway, just try to go along with her and speak nicely."

Tedd spoke euphemistically, but Joanna understood.

Jeremy was the illegitimate child of Sir Damien and another woman - an ugly truth.

For Lady Delilah, this was definitely not something easy to accept.

Both Madam Heath and Sir Damien were very willing to have Jeremy acknowledge his ancestry.

After all, for them, one was their own grandson, and the other was their own son - both were related by blood.

But Jeremy and Lady Delilah had no blood relation.

"You don’t need to worry too much, Ms. Joanna." Perhaps observing her anxiety, Tedd reassured her gently, "Lady Delilah might have just come to learn more from you about the situation. You and Mr. Jeremy have grown up together and have always had a very good relationship, so you must know him very well."

"Lady Delilah couldn’t approach Mr. Jeremy directly, so she came to you instead."

"Besides, no matter how Lady Delilah feels, once Madam Heath has stated her wishes, she wouldn’t dare say anything more."
