Chapter 998: Chapter 996: Always on the verge of passing out from anger

The two were displaying affection as if no one else was around.

Lady Octavia and Rebecca Kelloway seemed to become invisible, their faces turning a shade of green. Their gazes at Joanna Lawrence were full of hatred, as if they wanted to poke a hole in her body.

Lady Octavia gritted her teeth angrily.

What a shameless siren this girl was.

Right in front of her, she flirted with her son.

Who knows what she would do when they were alone?

Lady Octavia suddenly thought of the incident when Cody Aberton went shopping for clothes.

Cody Aberton said that he spilled coffee on her, so he had to buy her a new set of clothes.

But...

Lady Octavia had believed Cody Aberton at first, but now she was deeply suspicious.

With such shameless behavior in front of her, this woman was obviously not well-behaved.

It wouldn’t be surprising if this kind of woman did something outrageous.

As for the coffee spill, it was highly unlikely...

Lady Octavia’s face turned darker, her hands trembling with anger.

How could there be such a shameless woman!

Her background wasn’t good enough, and her behavior was loose and unrestrained.

How could such a siren be a match for her son!

At this moment, Lady Octavia was determined not to let Joanna Lawrence stay in the Heath family no matter what.

Such a daughter-in-law would tarnish the reputation and dignity of the Heath family status, making them a laughingstock.

In the future, the entire Heath family would become the butt of jokes in upper-class society.

She had been enjoying a respectable life for so many years, and she could not afford to lose face!

Therefore, she would not let Joanna Lawrence stay in the Heath family no matter what. She couldn’t watch the Heath family become the laughingstock of others.

"Ashton, you can be affectionate with your wife whenever you want. Right now, I need to talk to you. Tell her to leave." Lady Octavia only asked Joanna Lawrence to leave, without mentioning Rebecca Kelloway.

Even to his own mother, Ashton Heath didn’t give any face, saying directly: "Joanna isn’t an outsider, and there’s no need for her to leave for anything. Mom, if you have anything to say, just say it straight. There’s no need for anyone to leave."

Seeing him defending Joanna Lawrence time and time again, as if she were his most precious treasure, afraid to let her be wronged even a little, the anger in Lady Octavia’s chest surged a few feet higher, making her feel like her head was about to explode.

"Since I asked her to leave, it means it’s not convenient to talk in front of her. What’s the matter? Just by asking her to leave, you feel uneasy? Am I an evil witch who would harm her?"

"No matter what I say, you don’t take it seriously!"

"Ashton Heath, do you still have me as your mother in your eyes? Or are you going to abandon your mother now that you are married?"

Lady Octavia became more and more furious, and the last few words she yelled.

She lost all the elegance of a noble madam that she usually had.

Now, she seemed more down-to-earth and full of life.

A faint scent of gunpowder filled the air.

Joanna Lawrence looked at Lady Octavia, whose chest heaved violently as she became angrier, her face turning green. Joanna couldn’t help but worry if she would really faint in anger.

If Lady Octavia fainted, even if it wasn’t their fault, they would be blamed for being disrespectful and unfilial.

After some consideration, Joanna decided to give in: "Ashton, I should step away for now. I also want to go out for some fresh air. You should have a good talk with Mom."
