Chapter 1298: Chapter 1294: I Hope This Is the Last Time

Lady Delilah’s face instantly turned unsightly.

But she did not dare to utter a word of rebuttal.

Nowadays, the Heath family is controlled by the two sons of the main branch.

Ashton Heath manages the Heath Group.

Brandon Heath holds such a prominent position.

Even though she is their elder in name, she dare not act with seniority in front of the two sons of the main branch.

So when Ashton said those things to her, she did not dare to retort.

"Ashton, you..." Lady Octavia’s face also changed.

Only then did Ashton turn his eyes towards Lady Octavia.

The moment their eyes met, Lady Octavia couldn’t help but shudder.

"Mom, I hope this is the last time. If you really can’t accept Joanna, then we won’t appear in front of you again."

After saying those words, Ashton lowered his head, and as his indifferent eyes fell on Joanna Lawrence’s beautiful face, the coldness in his eyes quickly faded, and his gaze softened immediately.

He whispered, "Joanna, let’s go."

Joanna Lawrence followed Ashton into the car.

The black Bentley slowly drove out of the Heath family’s manor.

Joanna stared at the handsome and noble man beside her, still a bit dazed, "Ashton, why did you come?"

Ashton looked down at her, gently touched her head, and said softly, "I got your Twitter message and was worried, so I came."

He paused for a moment, thinking of what Lady Octavia and Lady Delilah had done, frowned, and continued, "It’s good that I came. Otherwise, my baby would have been bullied. If something like this happens again, don’t go alone foolishly."

"Why didn’t you ask me to accompany you?"

The concern in his words made Joanna Lawrence feel a subtle sweetness in her heart.

She held his arm and leaned gently on his shoulder, "You have to work. Besides, I didn’t think it was that dangerous, and I could handle it on my own. I’m fine now; you don’t need to worry."

Hearing her speak so breezily, Ashton frowned again.

He said seriously, "You’re okay now because I came back. If I didn’t come back, who knows what would have happened? Joanna, you don’t understand Lady Delilah; do you know why Jeremy was sent to the orphanage?"

Joanna Lawrence’s curiosity was instantly piqued, "Why?"

She had always been curious about the matter.

Ashton looked at her and said word by word, "It was Lady Delilah who arranged it."

Joanna Lawrence’s eyes widened in shock.

"I had someone look into the matter over the past couple of days, and the truth is far more terrifying than what you’ve heard just now. Jeremy was lucky to escape with his life. Lady Delilah wanted him gone for good, but the person assigned to the task couldn’t bear it and sent Jeremy to the orphanage instead."

"That is how Jeremy’s life was spared."

"What?!" Joanna Lawrence was utterly shocked, and her face turned pale in an instant, "Is what you’re saying true?"

"Yes."

Ashton originally didn’t want to tell her all this to save her from worry.

But now he thinks it’s better to let her know.

That way, she will be more alert.

"Joanna, in families like ours, there are many such incidents. Our Heath family is considered good; both Grandma and Grandpa strictly forbid infighting among family members. That’s why Lady Delilah’s actions were so secretive that it wasn’t detected at the
