And insanely jealous.
She grew up with Ashton Heath.
She was the only female friend who could stay by his side.
But Ashton Heath had never been so gentle with her nor had he ever looked at her with such indulgence.
They had known each other for more than twenty years, grew up together, and had a deep relationship unmatched by ordinary people.
Why could that girl named Joanna Lawrence get the treatment that she had never gotten?
The severe imbalance in her heart gave rise to jealousy and unwillingness.
Clearly, Ashton Heath’s wife should be her.
Everyone around her, including some elders of the Heath family, thought she would marry Ashton Heath.
Everyone believed they would be together.
But why did he marry another woman?
Clearly, they were the perfect match!
Jealousy makes people crazy and irrational.
Rebecca Kelloway bit her lip, a hint of resentment in her eyes: "The day I returned to the country, Ashton took her to dinner with us. According to Yannick, she’s still a student."
"What, still a student?"
Lady Octavia frowned: "So you’ve met her already? Why didn’t you tell me about this?"
Rebecca looked a little wronged when Lady Octavia asked this: "Lady Octavia, Ashton didn’t want me to say anything. He said Joanna was timid and didn’t dare to come back to meet you all for now, so he’s waiting until she’s willing to meet you all before bringing her back."
"If I had told you about this before he planned to bring Joanna home to meet you all, he would have been unhappy with me if he found out."
Lady Octavia’s face suddenly didn’t look too good.
She sneered: "Timid? So if she didn’t want to go home with Ashton, he would always keep this a secret from us?"
Rebecca bit her lip and whispered, "I guess so. Ashton spoils her quite a bit, saying he’ll do whatever she wants."
Lady Octavia’s face looked even worse than before: "Ashton has always been a very decisive person since he was young, never easily listening to anyone. And now he’s changed? This wife of his seemed quite docile, but I didn’t expect her to be so scheming."
Rebecca glanced at Joanna Lawrence, pursed her lips, and casually said: "It’s quite impressive that she was able to coax Ashton into secretly getting their marriage certificate without letting you all know. I originally thought they got married with your consent. I never imagined that Ashton would actually use a fait accompli."
"This is not his style at all."
"Under normal circumstances, if he likes someone, shouldn’t he bring her home to meet you all first, and then talk about marriage later? If they want to get married, at least both families should sit down at the same table and formally discuss it. I don’t understand why they have to hide it from their own family when they can do it openly."
"I thought about it over and over again, and I can only think of one possibility."
Although Lady Octavia was angry earlier, she didn’t get too worked up.
But after Rebecca’s few words, Lady Octavia’s face turned black.
Instantly, she felt that Joanna Lawrence must not be a girl from a decent family.
Could a daughter brought up in a decent family do such a thing?
She even bewitched her son and secretly got their marriage certificate!
