He didn’t even greet her just now.
He wouldn’t have been before.
His attitude made Rebecca both sad and fearful, and her resentment towards Joanna deepened.
Because she felt that Ashton Heath’s change was all because of Joanna Lawrence.
Before Joanna came into their lives, they got along so well.
Now that there is this woman, everything has become a little bitter.
"Ashton, are you still angry? It’s all my fault..." Rebecca blinked, and her eyes turned red immediately, "It was me who asked you guys to come out for dinner that day. If it wasn’t for the welcome party for me, none of this would have happened..."
"It has nothing to do with you."
After all, they had known each other for over twenty years. Ashton softened his tone when he saw her , "I didn’t blame you. Don’t think about it anymore."
"Do you really not blame me?" Rebecca was genuinely wronged. Just thinking about Ashton’s cold attitude towards her earlier made her want to cry, "I thought you were still angry with me."
Ashton’s patience was particularly strong when it came to Joanna, but it couldn’t last long for others.
After comforting Rebecca for a moment, he decided to leave: "I told you not to think about it anymore. This is between Frank and me. Don’t get involved in this again."
After saying this, Ashton hugged Joanna and turned to leave.
Rebecca stood in place, watching his retreating figure, her eyes gradually reddening.
He has genuinely changed.
Even though he said he wasn’t angry with her, his attitude still showed a sense of alienation.
A deliberate alienation.
Before, he had never been .
Was his deliberate alienation an act for Joanna to see?
Was it Joanna who told him to do this?
In just a minute, thousands of thoughts went through Rebecca’s mind.
In the end, she traced all the sources back to Joanna.
All the changes happened after Ashton’s marriage.
If he hadn’t gotten married, if he were still single now, they wouldn’t be ; they would be as happy and harmonious as they were in the past.
The resentment in her eyes could not be repressed and showed up.
For the first time in her life, she began to hate a woman.
"Rebecca?" A puzzled voice came from behind her, "What happened between you and Ashton?"
Lady Octavia revealed her confusion as she had seen the scene just now.
Rebecca blinked, quickly hiding the emotions in her eyes, turned around, and presented a nonchalant smile to Lady Octavia: "Lady Octavia, nothing. Just a small misunderstanding. I’ve already explained it to Ashton."
Lady Octavia looked at her reddened eyes and frowned: "What exactly happened? What is the cause of the quarrel between Ashton and Frank? Is it severe?"
Hearing their conversation, Madam Heath glanced at them.
"What happened to Ashton and Frank? What are you talking about?"
"Nothing, Madam Heath." Rebecca’s eyes flickered as she met Madam Heath’s questioning gaze, and she smiled, "It’s just a small matter, not worth worrying about. It’s getting late, and Madam Heath has a habit of taking a nap, right? I’ll help you back to your room to rest."
Madam Heath stared at her for a few seconds, then nodded: "Hmm, I’ll go back and rest for a while."
Rebecca immediately walked over.
