Chapter 780: Chapter 779: Meeting Lady Octavia

Most likely, it was about her scandal.

This morning when Ashton Heath dropped her off at the film crew, Madam Heath had already called to inquire about the scandal.

If Madam Heath knew about it, there was no way Lady Octavia could be ignorant.

Given Lady Octavia’s previous attitudes towards her, this time they were probably here to demand an explanation.

They arrived at the hotel.

Joanna Lawrence and Nina got out of the car together and entered the elevator, pressing the button for the floor where the coffee shop was located.

"Huh, Joanna, this isn’t our..."

"Oh, I’m meeting a friend." Joanna casually replied, "You go ahead. You have the day off today, so do whatever you want, don’t worry about me."

"Alright, I’m going to meet a friend later too. I might come back late tonight. If there’s anything you need, just call me and I’ll come back right away."

"Mm-hmm."

Upon reaching the tenth floor, Joanna exited the elevator first.

The coffee shop was on the tenth floor.

After leaving the elevator and walking forward for a while, she saw Lady Octavia, who was seating by the floor-to-ceiling window waiting for her.

Lady Octavia was, after all, a noble madam who’d been raised in a prestigious family since childhood.

Her grace and elegance, which she’d cultivated since she was little, were noticeably distinct from ordinary people.

Joanna spotted her at a glance.

Her posture was elegant, the way she held her coffee cup was elegant, and her well-maintained face showed no signs of her actual age. At a glance, she was still a very attractive young woman.

Many of the men in the coffee shop were stealing glances at her.

But none of them dared to approach her and strike up a conversation.

Lady Octavia had an aloof and cold demeanor, coming off as a cold beauty type, which most men found interesting but dared not pursue casually. Moreover, her entire bearing did not seem like an ordinary wealthy girl, and that alone was enough to deter many men.

"Miss, hello, may I ask if you..."

"I have an appointment."

Joanna looked at the waiter who approached warmly and quickly walked towards the location where Lady Octavia was seated.

As she approached, Lady Octavia, who had been initially staring outside the window as if enjoying the view, turned her head, her gaze directly shifting to Joanna.

Lady Octavia’s gaze carried a measure of severity and coldness, showing no goodwill whatsoever.

Joanna’s eyes met hers, her steps faltering involuntarily.

She hesitated for a few seconds before softly whispering, "Mom..."

Hearing her address, a hint of disgust flashed in the depths of Lady Octavia’s eyes, and she coldly pulled the corners of her lips, extending a hand to point at the opposite seat, "You’re here, then sit down."

Joanna naturally didn’t overlook the flash of disgust in Lady Octavia’s eyes.

She knew Lady Octavia didn’t like her.

However, this blatant display of disgust still made Joanna feel as if she’d been pricked by something, causing some discomfort.

But her expression remained as if nothing had happened.

She sat down opposite Lady Octavia, ordered a cup of coffee from the waiter, then turned her head to look at Lady Octavia, hesitating before deciding to take the initiative and ask, "Mom, do you need anything from me?"

Lady Octavia picked up the coffee in front of her, took a sip, and immediately frowned in disgust.

It seems that the coffee here didn’t suit her taste.

She took a sip and put it down.

Although this was a five-star hotel, the consumption and grade here were considered good for ordinary people.

However, in the eyes of a noble madam like Lady Octavia, the things here still didn’t meet her standards.
