Chapter 1752: Chapter 1746: Joanna Lawrence, you are indeed talented

Ashton Heath walked out of the hospital room. After making sure her son had left, Lady Octavia couldn’t help but sneer, "Joanna Lawrence, you’re quite something. Now, Ashton is head over heels for you. Apart from you, I don’t think he can see anyone else in his eyes."

"Because of you, he doesn’t even care about me, his own mother."

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Joanna looked at Lady Octavia’s resentful face, hooked her lips, and calmly said, "Ashton is my husband. If I’ve made him head over heels for me, it proves that we, as husband and wife, have a good relationship."

"Don’t you guys, as our elders, feel happy to see our good relationship?"

"As for what you said about other things, you’re just overthinking. Ashton has always respected and valued you. If you feel that he has changed, you should think about why he has changed."

When Lady Octavia heard this, she took it as a provocation.

Her face suddenly darkened, "Are you saying I have a problem?"

"Mom, don’t overthink it," Joanna remained indifferent, "I didn’t mean that."

"You know exactly what you mean!" Lady Octavia sneered, "Seeing Ashton ignoring me, are you pleased? Do you think you’re capable? Don’t forget, he’s flesh and blood that fell from me!"

"Just because he treats me this way for now doesn’t mean he always will. Once he comes to his senses, he’ll naturally know who the most important person to him is."

"Mom, I think you should lower your voice," Joanna watched Lady Octavia’s angry demeanor, pursed her lips, and said softly, "It’s okay if you have a problem with me, but don’t disturb Grandma."

Now, Joanna had a nonchalant attitude towards Lady Octavia.

So no matter what Lady Octavia said, she acted indifferent and unaffected.

This attitude of hers further enraged Lady Octavia.

"Now that your identity has changed and you have Ashton’s support, do you think no one in this house can control you? Don’t forget, you’re my daughter-in-law, and I’m your elder!"

Joanna looked at her calmly, "Mom, those are all your own thoughts, I’ve never thought about it like that. Since you know you’re my elder, you should act accordingly. But among all the things you’ve done, which of them are in line with your elder status?"

"If you want others to respect you, you have to deserve that respect."

Because of Aria’s case, Joanna was also quite impolite to Lady Octavia.

Just thinking about how Aria was luckily taken by Gage Maurice instead of someone else, the consequences were unimaginable.

"What do you mean by that?" Lady Octavia’s face suddenly changed, and she said with a black face, "Joanna Lawrence, is this how you speak to your elder?"

Joanna looked at her fearlessly, "You arranged for Aria’s brother to be in debt, didn’t you? You also wanted to force Aria to marry someone else. You were never satisfied with me being with Ashton and wanted me to leave him. Now, you want to break up Aria and Brandon."

"Lady Octavia, don’t you think you’ve gone too far? Just because you think Aria and I have a poor family background, and we’re not good enough for your two sons, you’re trying all kinds of methods to break us up. Your means are just too despicable."
