Chapter 997: Chapter 995: You Can Do Whatever You Want With Me

"Only you know if you were really asleep or not,"

Lady Octavia hadn’t thought that much about it initially.

But after hearing what Rebecca said, she instantly became dissatisfied with Joanna.

She believed Joanna was doing it on purpose.

Knowing that she was coming but intentionally hiding inside and not coming out.

The more she looked at her disrespectful daughter-in-law, the more displeased she became.

As expected, nothing good could come from small households.

Only matching in social and economic status would do.

If Rebecca was her daughter-in-law, she wouldn’t have been so dissatisfied.

Her excellent son, who she cultivated from childhood, was taken away by such a woman – it was simply infuriating.

Ashton Heath frowned, "Mom, you..."

"Mom, I really was sleeping." Joanna held tight onto Ashton’s arm, lifted her head and gave him a "don’t worry, be patient" look. Then she smiled and said to Lady Octavia, "I was waiting for Ashton to have dinner together. He was busy with work and couldn’t accompany me, so I didn’t want to disturb him. That’s why I went in to sleep for a while."

"I really didn’t know you were here. It’s only when he came in just now and woke me up that I knew."

"If I made you feel uncomfortable, I apologize."

Before Lady Octavia could open her mouth, Ashton coldly said, "What apology? It’s not like you did it on purpose. What’s wrong with this time? How come one can’t sleep now? Who made a rule that you must sleep at a certain time?"

"You’re the Lady Boss of Heath Group. Even if you were to play Cribbage with others in the office, no one would dare to say anything."

Rebecca’s face turned pale in an instant.

Ashton’s words were clearly aimed at her.

His action was undoubtedly a public slap in her face, and a crisp one at that.

It was bad enough that Ashton didn’t give her face; it was even worse that he did so in front of Joanna. Rebecca’s face alternated between green and white, looking extremely unsightly.

As for her husband’s vigorous defense, Joanna was, of course, quite satisfied.

She cooperated and said, "Can I really play Cribbage in your office with others?"

Ashton lowered his head, not caring what Lady Octavia or Rebecca would think, and his face was full of indulgence. "Of course. I’ve told you, you can do whatever you want here."

"Hubby, you’re so good. Thank you for being so good to me. Marrying you and being your wife, I’m really happy and contented." Joanna glanced at Lady Octavia and Rebecca’s darkening faces and decided she could push it further to make them feel more stifled in their hearts.

In any case, she had already seen it clearly.

Lady Octavia’s dislike for her was deeply ingrained.

No matter what she said or did, the situation wouldn’t change.

Therefore, she couldn’t be bothered to try to please her and attempt to mend their relationship any longer.

She just needed to do the superficial things well.

This was to not make Ashton feel embarrassed.

Even though she didn’t like Lady Octavia, she was still Ashton’s biological mother.

That relationship would never change for life.

It was impossible for her to let Ashton give up his mother for her sake.

Ashton had seen through her little thoughts a long time ago, but he chose not to say anything. His handsome face was full of indulgence, and he even gently patted her head, whispering, "Being able to marry you and be your husband, I too am very happy and content."
