Lady Octavia looked at Joanna Lawrence's calm demeanor, and couldn't help but sneer: "The Heath family is not a stickler for tradition. It is true that prestigious families have always insisted on marriages matching in social and economic status. I also hope that my two sons can find daughters-in-law who match the Heath family's status, but rules are rigid while people are flexible. If they genuinely fall in love with a girl from a humble background with a clean record and no messy issues, I can accept it."
"Sometimes, one's character and morals are more important than family background."
"My thoughts are quite open-minded, right? I haven't said that the Lawrence family and the Heath family are incompatible, nor have I tried to separate you and Ashton, right? But just because I don't have many requirements, it doesn't mean that I have no requirements at all."
