"I didn’t intend to speak up for her." Ashton Heath calmly looked at her and said, "In my heart, she is already good enough, whether others agree or not is not under my control."
"Mom, I just want to tell you that you really misunderstood her." Normally, Ashton wouldn’t bother to explain.
But he heard what Brandon Heath just said.
He himself can ignore other people’s opinions.
But what about Joanna?
He didn’t want people to misunderstand her.
She was so nice, and he really hoped that everyone could like her.
Especially his family.
"The news online isn’t true; someone is deliberately trying to ruin her. I’ve already had someone investigate it. She did meet David Benington today, but it was a coincidence. He’s been bothering her, and she’s been rejecting him."
"Since you are concerned about this, you must have seen the clarification blog post by Sean Parker."
Of course, Lady Octavia had read that blog.
But she didn’t believe it.
Those kids from the Parker and Luther families grew up playing with Ashton together.
Their clarification lacked credibility.
"Mom, you’re prejudiced against Joanna. From the beginning, you didn’t like her and were dissatisfied with her. So, you never wanted to trust her. You thought I asked Sean to post that clarification blog, didn’t you?"
Lady Octavia was startled, and her face changed.
She really... thought that way.
When her thoughts were exposed on the spot, she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
Of course, she wouldn’t admit it: "I never thought that way. I didn’t see that blog you were talking about. What does this matter have to do with Sean Parker?"
Ashton Heath just smiled, not exposing her: "Sean was there at the time. I didn’t ask him to post the blog; although I had the idea, he doesn’t like Joanna much because of Rebecca Kelloway, so even if I asked him to post it, he might not."
Lady Octavia suddenly raised her head in astonishment: "What do you mean by that?"
"Sean Parker likes Rebecca Kelloway." Ashton Heath directly said, "He thinks I wronged Rebecca, and we had a falling out."
"Now that I’ve said this, do you believe Joanna now?"
Lady Octavia stared blankly for a while, her face a little ugly.
She suddenly felt a bit flustered.
Did Rebecca decide to withdraw today because of this reason?
Did she plan to be with Sean?
Thinking of that domineering young master from the Parker family, Lady Octavia frowned and became a bit impatient.
She naturally regarded her son as the most outstanding in the world.
But she couldn’t deny that the young man from the Parker family was also brilliant.
The Kelloway and Parker family backgrounds were absolutely compatible, and Rebecca and that young man from the Parker family had a matching age and appearance, and the two families had been friends for many years.
Presumably, if they really had feelings for each other, both families would be happy to see it happen.
But if Rebecca were to be with Frank Parker, what would happen to her son?
Rebecca was her favorite daughter-in-law.
"Mom, I don’t expect you to like her immediately, but I hope you can put aside some of your prejudices and try to gradually accept her. If you are willing to let go of your prejudices and get along with her, I believe you’ll like her."
"She is really a good girl."
"Mom, she’s my wife, the woman I love. Can’t you accept her just for my sake?"
By the end, Ashton Heath’s attitude had lowered a lot.
