1440: Chapter 1354: Lady Octavia, do you think this is alright?
Madam Heath preferred a traditional Chinese wedding.
Madam White liked a Western-style wedding instead.
After discussing back and forth, they decided to host two weddings.
One hosted by the Heath family and the other by the White family, with the Heath family organizing the Chinese-style wedding and the White family organizing the Western-style one.
While they were happily discussing, Lady Octavia ca over with a cold expression on her face.
Without even glancing at Joanna Lawrence, she stood beside Madam Heath and called out, “Mom.”
Then she asked, “Tedd said you were looking for .
What is the matter?”
Madam Heath’s face, which had been full of smiles, lost its warmth when she looked up at Lady Octavia’s cold expression.
She was very dissatisfied with Lady Octavia’s recent behavior.
Especially after she had tried to advise her several tis, and Lady Octavia still insisted on her own way, completely disregarding her words, Madam Heath’s displeasure towards her had deepened.
She felt that Lady Octavia had beco more and more unruly lately.
And she cared less and less about her image.
Madam Heath was not pleased with her, so her tone was also indifferent, saying, “Well, sit down first.”
Lady Octavia chose a seat and sat down.
She was seated opposite Joanna and Madam White, and she saw Madam White holding Joanna’s hand while whispering sothing to her gently.
Her deanor was tender and loving, just like a mother speaking to her daughter.
Seeing this scene, Lady Octavia felt a surge of anger.
She couldn’t help but speak coldly, “It’s rare to see Madam White here tonight.
I didn’t know that my daughter-in-law has such a good relationship with Madam White.
Joanna, when did you get to know Madam White?”
Upon hearing this, Madam White slowly looked up.
Madam White had previously worried that the Heath family might look down on Joanna for not being from a prestigious background and treat her poorly.
But after tonight’s banquet, she could see that Lady Octavia was indeed dissatisfied with Joanna.
Even when Lady Octavia spoke about Joanna, there was disdain in her eyes.
This showed just how unhappy she was with Joanna.
Madam White treasured her newly acknowledged daughter and wished to dote on her as much as possible.
Seeing her daughter being looked down upon in front of her, Madam White’s heart instantly filled with discontent.
Her tone was not too polite when she spoke to Lady Octavia, “Mrs.
White, it’s only natural for a mother and daughter to have a close relationship.
There is nothing to be surprised about.”
“Mother and daughter?”
Lady Octavia looked at her in astonishnt when she heard Madam White referring to her as “Mrs.
White.”
When she heard the phrase “mother and daughter having a close relationship is only natural,” her eyes widened in shock.
She stared at Madam White with a mixture of confusion and disbelief, then turned her incredulous gaze to Joanna as if she had just realized sothing.
“Lady Octavia, I was just discussing with Madam Heath about the wedding of Joanna and Ashton.
We think it’s best to have two weddings — one hosted by your Heath family first, and then another one by our White family.”
“Since you’re Ashton’s mother and Joanna’s mother-in-law, we want to hear your opinion as well.
Lady Octavia, do you think this is acceptable?”
A few casual words from Madam White left Lady Octavia’s face once again filled with disbelief.
“Madam White, what do you an?
You ntioned mother and daughter just now…”
“Oh, I forgot to tell Lady Octavia.”
