Chapter 1707: Chapter 1701: What Benefits Does This Bring to Her

She knew very well that the reason Diana Kinsman dared to brazenly tell her those things was that she wasn’t afraid of her telling Lady Octavia about it.

Given the current relationship between her and Lady Octavia, Lady Octavia wouldn’t believe her at all.

Furthermore, she would think that she was trying to sow discord.

Therefore, she wouldn’t go seeking trouble from Lady Octavia.

Nevertheless, she could tell her husband about this matter.

Ashton Heath turned his head, his deep gaze falling on her: "What’s the matter?"

"Do you remember that Diana Kinsman? The woman Mom brought back."

Ashton Heath furrowed his brows in thought, then shook his head: "I can’t remember what she looks like. Why, is the matter you encountered related to her?"

Joanna Lawrence: "...You can’t remember what she looks like?"

Though Diana Kinsman wasn’t a breathtakingly great beauty, with just one look, she would leave a deep impression. Yet she wasn’t an ordinary person whose appearance could be easily forgotten either.

In fact, Joanna Lawrence had a pretty deep impression of Diana Kinsman.

That unique temperament of hers greatly complemented her not-so-outstanding facial features.

Joanna Lawrence later recalled that this should be her second time meeting Diana Kinsman.

The first time was at a hospital.

Ashton Heath raised his eyebrows: "Hmm, I really can’t remember."

He genuinely couldn’t recollect.

It was only because Aria Rowlett was Joanna’s best friend and he had already met her several times that he could remember her appearance.

The only woman whose appearance deeply impressed him and who he remembered at once was Joanna Lawrence.

Joanna Lawrence: "...Okay then, at least you should remember that Mom brought someone back tonight."

"Yeah." Thankfully, Ashton Heath didn’t say he didn’t remember this time; otherwise, Joanna Lawrence wouldn’t know how to segue into the next part of the conversation.

"I suspect that she’s intentionally getting close to the Heath family." Joanna Lawrence shared her speculation with Ashton Heath, "Even though I don’t know her exact purpose, I think there must be something wrong with her."

Listening to her explanation, Ashton Heath didn’t seem surprised; instead, he asked: "Why do you think that?"

"Because she approached me today."

Joanna Lawrence recounted the incident of Diana Kinsman finding her and trying to sow discord between her and Lady Octavia to Ashton Heath.

"I think she’s intentionally stirring up trouble. But she was clearly brought back by Mom, so I can’t figure out why she’s doing this."

Ashton Heath remained silent for a moment after listening, then nodded: "Yes, baby, you analyzed it correctly. She’s definitely trying to sow discord."

"But why?" Joanna Lawrence’s eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement, "What’s the benefit for her in doing this?"

"If Mom brought her back, it means their relationship should be good. Why would she deliberately stir things up?"

"That’s hard to say." Ashton Heath reached out to embrace her, "But no matter what her purpose is, we’ll just have to be careful in dealing with her. At least for now, we’ve noticed her malicious intentions, so we’ll just be on guard around her."

"No matter what tricks she tries, we just won’t take the bait."

"Hmm." Joanna Lawrence leaned against his chest, thinking what he said made sense, and nodded: "You’re right, we just don’t take the bait. She seemed a bit angry today when she saw that I didn’t fall for her tricks."

"My baby is so clever; no one can easily deceive her." Ashton Heath’s big hand landed on Joanna Lawrence’s head, gently rubbing it. His tender words were filled with indulgence, "If she thinks you’re one of those foolish, gullible, and ignorant women, she’s greatly mistaken."
