Soon, Tedd helped Madam Heath upstairs.
All that was left were Lady Octavia and a few maids in the living room.
Lady Octavia remained seated in her previous spot, looking very displeased.
She didn't think she was in the wrong.
On the contrary, she felt wronged.
She did everything for the sake of her two sons, yet both of them, for the sake of women, had many complaints and dissatisfactions toward her.
Lady Octavia felt especially sad.
No one could understand her.

Upstairs,
Ashton, afraid that Joanna might be upset, immediately tried to comfort his wife after closing the door.
"Joanna, don't take Mom's words to heart," Ashton sighed and said gently, "She doesn't understand you, so she was suspicious of you after reading those rumors. But both Grandma and I trust you."
"Actually, I didn't really mind this issue," Joanna laughed and hugged him, "As long as my husband trusts me, that's enough."
