Chapter 1439: Chapter 1353: Let’s see how she chews on her tongue!

"As for the matter of Joanna returning to the White family, should we hold a banquet to announce it publicly, or... "

"Joanna said it’s better to keep a low profile, so there’s no need to announce it publicly. However, we can hold a small banquet later and invite some close friends and relatives. She is busy with film shooting now, so we can discuss these matters after she finishes it."

In a corner.

Lady Octavia glanced over at Madam White and Madam Heath, and when she saw Madam White and Joanna so intimately close, her brows furrowed and her eyes showed a hint of doubt.

She naturally knew Madam White.

So she was very curious, why Madam White and Joanna seemed so intimate.

The few people sitting there, she did not know what they were talking about, but they seemed to be having a good conversation.

Lady Octavia disliked Joanna and found whatever she did displeasing to the eye.

In her opinion, Joanna must have flattered Madam White or used some trick to get Madam White to be so close to her.

Just like how Joanna initially deceived her son and Madam Heath.

Joanna was nothing but scheming and shameless.

As Lady Octavia glared at Joanna with anger in her belly, Tedd approached her and said respectfully, "My lady, Madam Heath would like you to come over. She said she has something to discuss with you."

Lady Octavia raised her head, her eyebrows furrowed, "Madam Heath is looking for me?"

"Yes."

"Did she say what it is about?"

"Madam Heath did not mention the specifics, but I guess it’s related to Ms. Joanna."

Lady Octavia’s face immediately turned sour.

"Related to Ms. Joanna? What is it?"

Tedd smiled, "I’m not sure either. My lady, if you go over, you’ll find out."

Lady Octavia pursed her lips, and after a few seconds, she suddenly sneered, "She must be trying to sow discord in front of Madam Heath again and speak ill of me. I’ll go there now and see how she spreads rumors!"

After saying that, she stood up, her face stern, and walked towards Madam Heath.

Behind her, Tedd watched her huffing and puffing, as if she were going to start a quarrel, and frowned involuntarily.

He secretly sighed in his heart.

He really didn’t know why Lady Octavia had such a terrible attitude towards Ms. Joanna.

In fact, apart from her family background not matching Mr. Ashton’s, Ms. Joanna was quite good in other aspects.

But Lady Octavia was very particular about family background, and if the family background wasn’t good, no matter how good Joanna was in other aspects, she wouldn’t be satisfied.

Take Ms. Rebecca, whom she used to like the most, for instance.

Ms. Rebecca was also beloved by Lady Octavia as her own daughter. She had always hoped that Ms. Rebecca could marry Mr. Ashton and become her daughter-in-law.

But now, the Kelloway family had fallen in status and Lady Octavia couldn’t like Ms. Rebecca as she did before.

She would no longer consider having Ms. Rebecca marry Mr. Ashton.

Lady Octavia’s fondness for her was based on the time when the Kelloways hadn’t declined and could still match the Heath family.

Even if she still liked Ms. Rebecca now, the extent of her fondness would have to be discounted.

However, regardless of her dissatisfaction with Ms. Joanna, Mr. Ashton and Ms. Joanna were already married.

Moreover, Mr. Ashton valued Ms. Joanna so much.

If Lady Octavia was unwilling to compromise and continued to show such rejection, it would only increasingly impact her relationship with her son, Mr. Ashton.

"Madam Heath, my lady has arrived."

As Lady Octavia arrived, Madam Heath and Madam White were discussing how to handle Joanna’s future wedding.
