Chapter 726: Chapter 725: I Am Willing... To Give It a Try

"Just, it might wrong you a little. If you’re unwilling, Lady Octavia won’t force you."

"But if you are willing, this could be a chance for you and Ashton."

Rebecca’s eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, but her expression remained confused, "Lady Octavia, your method is..."

Lady Octavia glanced at the maids gathered in the hall, waved them away, and then whispered in Rebecca’s ear, "I’ll call Ashton in a while and ask him to come back. You first... "

As she listened, Rebecca’s eyes widened, and a blush crept onto her fair, radiant face.

When Lady Octavia finished speaking, Rebecca covered her face and bashfully said, "Lady Octavia, this is not right..."

"When Ashton wakes up, he’ll be angry."

"Let him be angry." Seeing her reaction, Lady Octavia knew that Rebecca was likely to agree and continued to persuade her gently, "You know his temperament, and he’ll be angry if we use tricks on him. But anger aside, he’ll still have to take responsibility, won’t he?"

"Once you’re together, won’t there be plenty of opportunities for him to calm down?"

"Rebecca, this is the best way under the circumstances. This method is the fastest and most effective for you to be with Ashton. I know that it’s unfair for a well-bred lady like you to do such a thing, but once you marry into the Heath family, Lady Octavia will make it up to you."

"Could you... bear with it, just for a while?"

Rebecca bit her lip, hesitation and conflict in her eyes. She stayed silent.

Lady Octavia remained patient and waited.

After a while, Rebecca, blushing, whispered, "Lady Octavia, what if... it fails?"

"It won’t fail." Lady Octavia saw that Rebecca had agreed and joy filled her face. She hurriedly assured her, "Lady Octavia promises you, it won’t fail. Rebecca, have you made up your mind? Will you promise me?"

"I... I really do like Ashton." Rebecca took a deep breath, as if making up her mind, "So, I’m willing... to try."

"Good girl."

Lady Octavia hugged her, saying happily, "Lady Octavia promises you, you won’t regret it. I’ll call Ashton now and ask him to come home."

Heath Group.

Cody Aberton pushed open the door and saw President Ashton sitting in front of his desk, staring at his phone.

There were still heaps of documents on the table.

Cody glanced at them - there were quite a few documents left.

This... didn’t seem like President Ashton’s usual work efficiency.

On a normal day, there wouldn’t be many documents on the table.

But this time, Cody could understand.

Seeing his wife linked to another man in a gossip story, how could President Ashton focus on work?

It seemed that, since President Ashton had seen the gossip about his wife and the male star, he hadn’t touched the documents on his desk.

Cody had entered and exited the office several times.

President Ashton maintained the same posture during each visit, holding his phone and looking at it.

Most likely, he was looking at Ms. Joanna’s gossip story.

Actually, Cody had seen that gossip too, and he thought it wasn’t so bad.

In the video, there were no overly suggestive actions.

It was just that Ms. Joanna nearly stumbled, and the male star reached out to steady her.

Wasn’t that a normal gesture?

If he were in that situation and a beautiful woman nearby was about to fall, he’d reach out to help too.
