Chapter 1677: Chapter 1669: She Has No Status in This Family at All

"You..." Lady Octavia was on the brink of exploding.

"My Lady, I’m alright." Diana Kinsman gently tugged at her. Other than a split second of rigid expression, she soon regained her composure and said, smiling gracefully, "Mr. Ashton is right, we are strangers to each other."

"There’s nothing wrong with how Mr. Ashton treats strangers."

"How can you say he’s done nothing wrong? He didn’t show a bit of gentlemanly demeanor!" Lady Octavia, fearing that Diana might get upset, quickly held her hand and tried to comfort her, "Winnie, don’t be upset, please. Ashton is just hot-tempered, but it’s not targeted at you. He’s like this to everyone."

Diana smiled, appearing gracious, "Lady, I understand. I won’t get angry over something like this."

"Winnie, you’re indeed well-mannered." Praise filled Lady Octavia’s eyes, "Your parents have taught you well, you’re outstanding."

Lady Octavia visibly snubbed Joanna Lawrence in front of Ashton Heath.

She even spoke gently and politely to a stranger in front of him.

Ashton Heath was protective of his loved ones. He pampered Joanna Lawrence so much that he couldn’t bear to see her suffer even the smallest injustice, even if it came from his own mother.

His face darkened slightly, and he held Joanna Lawrence’s hand firmly, not giving Lady Octavia another glance, "Joanna, let’s go upstairs. We still have two hours until the banquet starts. If you’re tired, take a rest first."

Having said that, he led Joanna Lawrence and headed upstairs.

Jeremy Lawrence’s face also turned grim. He glanced frostily at Diana Kinsman, then said to Madam Heath, "Grandma, I will go upstairs to change my clothes and prepare in advance."

"Go ahead, go ahead." Madam Heath, fully aware that Lady Octavia had again stirred up dissatisfaction, waved her hand, "Prepare well, tonight, it’s your stage."

"I am also tired." Madam Heath was annoyed with Lady Octavia. She was unwilling to stay with her any longer, so she called for Tedd, "Escort me back, I want to take a nap."

Tedd came over immediately and delicately helped Madam Heath up.

Before leaving, Madam Heath casted a deep look at Lady Octavia, "Octavia, is this the situation you hoped to see? I thought you would have thought it through during this period and understood how to get along with these children from now on."

"Seems like I overestimated you." Having said that, Madam Heath shook her head, let Tedd assist her and left.

For a moment.

The previously lively hall instantly quieted down.

Apart from the maids, the only people left were Lady Octavia and Diana Kinsman.

Lady Octavia looked terrible.

She lost face in front of Diana Kinsman.

Even her own son was so indifferent to her.

She allowed Diana to see that she had no standing in this family.

Lady Octavia grumbled resentfully and angrily, "I won’t return to this house ever again."

"Lady, don’t be sad," Diana’s eyes flickered with an unfamiliar look. She had been watching Ashton Heath and Joanna Lawrence ascend the stairs all this time. Only when the two completely disappeared did she withdraw her gaze from the spiral staircase.

"I believe they must have misunderstood you. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, things won’t be like this."

"What misunderstanding!" Lady Octavia was so furious that her face turned green, "Isn’t it all because of that scheming daughter-in-law of mine! Before, everything was fine at home, and there has never been any discord. But ever since she married Ashton..."
