Chapter 1324: Chapter 1050: This Move, Indeed Quite Good

Although Madam Heath had left her some face by not accusing her directly, Lady Octavia knew full well that the old lady was talking about her and Lady Delilah.

As soon as the old lady had returned that day, she knew what had happened.

She had scolded Lady Octavia severely at the time.

Lady Octavia’s face was somewhat pale, and there was still some defiance in her eyes. She swallowed her anger and said, "Mom, it is precisely because it concerns the bloodline of the Heath family that we should be extra cautious. Our family is no ordinary family. Everyone wants to claim a stake in it."

"Gia and I were just afraid that someone would take advantage of the situation to sneak in. We may have done something wrong, but our intentions were for the good of the Heath family."

"Mom, don’t you find this whole thing suspicious?"

"You guys searched for that child for so many years without finding him. Joanna had only been married into the Heath family for a short time, and the child was found right away. The first time she brought her brother home, you thought he was one of our family, and then you did a paternity test, confirming it. Don’t you think this is all too convenient, like it was all arranged by someone?"

"Maybe you were so happy with the paternity test results that you didn’t think about anything else. But I just feel there’s something wrong with this whole situation."

"Enough!" Madam Heath scolded angrily with a stern face, "You shut your mouth. If you keep talking nonsense, don’t blame me for humiliating you in front of the kids."

Lady Octavia bit her lip, "Mom, I’m doing this for the sake of the family. I know you don’t like to hear these words, but a true word is sometimes unpalatable! If we let those with ulterior motives succeed, the future of the Heath family will be truly restless!"

"Mom, are you suggesting that Joanna has ulterior motives?" Ashton Heath, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up.

His voice was cold and indifferent.

As Lady Octavia turned her head and met his emotionless eyes, she couldn’t help but shudder, even though he was her own son.

There were times when she was afraid of her younger son.

Lady Octavia pursed her lips, her confidence slightly shaken by Ashton’s gaze, "Whether she does or not, she knows in her heart."

As soon as her words fell, she heard Ashton letting out a cold laugh.

"So, what should we do according to mom? Do the paternity test for Jeremy again? If it’s done by someone you trust, would you believe it then?"

Lady Octavia was stunned and was just about to say that was a good idea.

"Then you and Lady Delilah can forge a fake paternity test to prove that Joanna and Jeremy conspired to deceive us. Then you can take advantage of this opportunity to force Joanna and me to divorce, and Grandma won’t object because of this matter. As for Lady Delilah’s side, she won’t have to worry about Jeremy returning to his ancestral home and threatening her and her nephew’s position."

"This move is indeed quite good. It can solve both your and Lady Delilah’s problems. So, you forced Joanna to admit that she bribed the doctor by Grandma’s side and had a fake paternity test done."

Seeing the panic in Lady Octavia’s face, Ashton Heath curled his lips and looked straight into her eyes, "I wonder if this plan was thought up by you, or by Lady Delilah? I guess it should be Lady Delilah. She knows you don’t like Joanna, so she told you about this. Upon hearing it, you were tempted."
