Chapter 985: Chapter 983: This move is simply too hateful

"Now Ashton is dissatisfied with me, and so is Madam Heath. They think I’m not open-minded enough to even accommodate my own daughter-in-law. But if my daughter-in-law were you, there wouldn’t be so many problems."

"Having such a scheming, impure woman as my daughter-in-law, no matter how open-minded I am, I can’t accept a woman like that!"

At this point, Lady Octavia looked at Rebecca with regret and unwillingness: "Rebecca, if you were my daughter-in-law, how nice it would be. All these contradictions wouldn’t exist now. What’s the matter with Ashton, he doesn’t like such a good girl right in front of him, but goes for someone like that instead..."

"What does that woman have except for a slightly good-looking face? Rebecca, you’re so much superior to her in every way. Ashton must be blind."

"I watched you two grow up together, and I thought our Heath family and your Kelloway family would become even closer through marriage. Little did I know Ashton would lose his mind to a woman from a small household and got married without a word."

"It’s so hateful that I couldn’t stop it even if I wanted to."

As Lady Octavia talked, her chest heaved violently again.

Rebecca’s eyes flickered, and she quickly stretched out her hand to pat her chest gently, looking worried and anxious: "Lady Octavia, please calm down. Don’t upset yourself over someone unworthy. It’s done now, and getting angry won’t help. Why don’t you instead..."

"No."

After catching her breath, Lady Octavia grabbed Rebecca’s hand, and said excitedly: "Rebecca, as long as you don’t give up on Ashton, it’s not too late. I promised to help you, and you can’t back out now."

Rebecca frowned slightly, looking hesitant: "But Lady Octavia, it’s not that I want to give up, but there really is no chance between Ashton and me."

"I thought as long as I persisted, as long as I didn’t give up, there might still be a chance for us. But now..." Rebecca’s voice suddenly choked, and her eyes turned red.

She looked upset: "Lady Octavia, there’s something I’ve been hiding from you, not telling you. I’m afraid if I say it, you won’t like me anymore, and you’ll think I’m a bad girl."

"To me, Lady Octavia is like my mom. If you stop liking me one day, I’d be really, really sad."

Seeing Rebecca’s red eyes, Lady Octavia quickly took out a handkerchief from her bag and wiped away her tears: "Rebecca, what’s wrong? Don’t cry, tell me what happened first. No matter what, I’ll always like you."

Lady Octavia truly liked Rebecca.

Because she’d always wanted another daughter.

But due to health reasons, she never got her wish.

Rebecca had been close to her since she was a child, always obedient and well-behaved in front of her, making her lovable. Although Lady Octavia didn’t completely consider her as her own daughter, her love and affection for her were genuine.

She really wanted Rebecca to be her daughter-in-law.

In her eyes, there was no one more suitable for the position of the young lady of the Heath family than Rebecca.

She had always assumed that their two families could become in-laws through marriage.

Until Ashton suddenly brought Joanna home and told them about their marriage...
