Chapter 992: Chapter 990: Ashton, are you still mad at me?

After saying that, he didn’t care about Lady Octavia’s reaction. He turned and looked coldly at Rebecca Kelloway: "I remember telling you not to come here looking for me again. I don’t know if I didn’t make myself clear, or if you thought I was joking."

Facing his cold, unfeeling black eyes, Rebecca couldn’t help but shiver.

She was well-aware of what Ashton Heath had said to her before.

Today, she had the confidence to come because Lady Octavia was with her.

She thought that even if she and Ashton had a big falling out before, they had known each other for more than twenty years, so he couldn’t possibly treat her like a stranger.

But just now, in front of Lady Octavia, he didn’t leave her any face, which made her feel extremely humiliated.

For a moment, her face looked a little ugly. Biting her lip, she forced a smile and said, "Ashton, are you still mad at me? I thought after all these days, you would have cooled off."

"You said before... it was just a fit of anger."

"We’ve had fights before, and you’ve also said things in anger. I—I never took them seriously."

Though she said this, she knew very well whether Ashton was just speaking out of anger or not.

She was merely trying to save face for herself.

Ashton’s eyes grew colder: "Who told you that what I said was just a fit of anger? Do you think that by coming here with my mother, I can’t do anything to you? Rebecca Kelloway, don’t play these clever little games. I’ve made myself clear to you. People should know their own limits. Don’t force me to say even harsher things."

"What kind of attitude is this? How can you treat Rebecca, a girl, like this!" Lady Octavia obviously defended Rebecca, grabbing her hand and frowning in displeasure. "Rebecca grew up with you, and our Heath family has always treated her like a daughter. Now, because of some not-so-important matters, you treat her like this. Are you planning to sever ties with her?"

"Ashton, what are you thinking? You’re my son, raised by me, but now I don’t know you at all. What’s happened to you? You didn’t used to be like this."

"Not important matters?" Ashton looked at Rebecca with an icy glare. "So, you went to my mom to tattle. Do you think what you did was not too much? Or do you think you’re the one who’s wronged?"

"I didn’t..." Fear crossed Rebecca’s face. She leaned towards Lady Octavia, tightly gripping her arm with a frightened look. "I didn’t tattle to Lady Octavia. Ashton, please don’t be like this. I’m really scared..."

"I know I was wrong, and I’ve already apologized to you. I can even apologize to Joanna, if that’s what it takes. As long as you can forgive me, I’ll do anything. But you won’t give me a chance."

"I never thought about tattling to Lady Octavia. I just felt she needed to know our current relationship, so I told her about that incident. I didn’t lie to her about anything; I told her everything I’ve done."

"You don’t believe me? You can ask Lady Octavia."

"That’s right, Rebecca told me everything." Lady Octavia tenderly patted Rebecca’s hand, her face full of doting indulgence. "Rebecca was wrong, but she realized her mistake. She only did it because she cares about you that much."
