Chapter 993: Chapter 991: I Can Never Admit Her

"Can’t you forgive her just once?"

"I don’t think she did something unforgivable. If she didn’t like you or care about you, would she have done that?"

"Ashton, I brought her here this time, hoping that you two could reconcile. You are a grown man, can’t you be more broad-minded instead of competing with a girl? And severing ties? Our Heath family and the Kelloway family have had a long-standing relationship, the elders from both families are still on good terms, what kind of image does you, as a younger generation, severing ties present? Is it not a laughingstock?"

"Rebecca has already apologized to you, what more do you want from her?"

Ashton Heath’s face remained expressionless as Lady Octavia finished speaking. After a moment of silence, he replied coldly: "Mom, in your view, that might not be unforgivable, but it is for me. I have given her chances before, but she only became more relentless."

"If you are here to plead on her behalf, I’m afraid the outcome will disappoint you."

Lady Octavia was taken aback for a while, her face gradually turning ugly: "Even if I am the one pleading for her, you won’t give me that face?"

"It has nothing to do with who is pleading." Ashton spoke to Lady Octavia, but his gaze was fixed on Rebecca, his voice cold and indifferent, "Anyone who hurts the person I care about will not receive any mercy."

"If I forgave her, I would be doing wrong by my wife."

"Ashton, you!" Lady Octavia was extremely angry, feeling utterly humiliated, "Is that woman really that important to you? I think you have been bewitched; you don’t even know what you are doing right now."

Ashton’s gaze darkened: "Mom, she is your daughter-in-law. I hope you change the way you address her."

"Daughter-in-law?" Lady Octavia was infuriated by his attitude, thundering, "I will never accept her. With her as she is, she must be dreaming if she thinks she can become the Heath family’s daughter-in-law. Does she think that marrying into the Heath family means she’ll live a worry-free life?"

"I’m telling you, I will never recognize her status. If you have the guts to cut ties with your relatives for her, then I will act as if I never had a son like you!"

Ashton’s lips tightened, and his face turned gloomy.

Lady Octavia stared at him unyieldingly.

Rebecca, who was off to the side, watched the mother and son locked in a tense standoff, a trace of a cold smile flitting across her eyes.

She wished that the relationship between Lady Octavia and Ashton would become more and more strained.

Only then would Lady Octavia’s dislike and dissatisfaction with Joanna deepen.

The more Lady Octavia hated Joanna, the more she would like Rebecca, and the more she would want her to marry Ashton.

As long as Lady Octavia was helping, there was still a chance for everything.

As the conflict between Ashton and Lady Octavia intensified, Joanna Lawrence, who was inside the resting room, had already regained consciousness.

She had heard everything that Lady Octavia and Ashton said.

Including everything Rebecca had said as well.

When she heard Lady Octavia resolutely say that she would "never recognize her as her daughter-in-law," even though she had long known that Lady Octavia did not like her, her heart was still inevitably hurt.

Being so despised by one’s own mother-in-law, no matter how strong one’s heart is or how indifferent one appears, one’s inner feelings can’t be completely unaffected.

But Ashton’s unwavering support made her feel especially warm inside.

He did not show any favoritism just because Lady Octavia was his mother.

He did not let her feel wronged in such a situation.

This alone touched her deeply.
