"If it weren’t for that siren, would Brandon have withdrawn from this General Election? Because of what she’s done, it’s impossible for to allow her to stay by his side any longer. Even if they are legally married, she must divorce him now."
"My Heath family can’t tolerate such a siren!"
"Ria, if you know what’s good for you, don’t go against . Don’t think that I won’t dare do anything to you just because you’ve been with the Heath family for a long ti. Don’t forget, I am the master, and you are the servant. If I want to deal with a servant, no one can protect you!"
"Now get out of my way!"
No sooner had Lady Octavia finished speaking than a series of footsteps echoed in the hall.
A group of tall bodyguards clad in black suits entered the hall.
Seeing them enter, Ria’s face instantly changed.
She tightly gripped Aria Rowlett’s hand.
"Ms. Joanna," Ria turned around, lowered her voice, and nervously said, "You must quickly go to Mr. Brandon’s study, lock the door from inside and don’t co out no matter what happens. Mr. Brandon is on his way ho now, and he’ll be back soon."
"You just need to hold on until Mr. Brandon’s return."
Listening to Ria’s serious tone, Aria looked up at the bodyguards entering the hall, and couldn’t help but feel frightened, "Ria, who are they?"
"They are Lady Octavia’s bodyguards. They must be here for no good reason. Ms. Joanna, stop talking, and hurry upstairs!"
That group of people are Lady Octavia’s bodyguards?
Aria quickly guessed what Lady Octavia wanted to do.
She turned pale, looked at the bodyguards walking over, and imdiately ran upstairs.
Seeing her run upstairs, Lady Octavia’s face also changed, and she fiercely ordered the bodyguards, "Catch her!"
"Lady! What are you trying to do? You can’t do this!" Ria spread her arms, trying to obstruct them.
The bodyguards went straight up to her and pushed her aside.
Watching Aria had already run upstairs, several bodyguards quickly pursued her.
"My Lady." Ria approached Lady Octavia, her voice trembling, "You can’t do this. How are you going to face Mr. Brandon doing this? If you don’t agree with Mister Brandon’s decision to withdraw from the election, you can have a proper talk with him. You can’t treat Ms. Joanna like this."
"Doing this will affect the relationship between you and Mr. Brandon as mother and son."
Lady Octavia raised her head, her face extrely cold, "Even if Brandon resents for this, I must do it. Aria Rowlett cannot stay by his side any longer. Since you’ve been with him for so long, you should know that I’m doing this for his own good."
"That woman will ruin him."
"But she’s soone Mr. Brandon cares about! My Lady, Mr. Brandon has only ever loved one woman since he was a child. Can’t you be a little more lenient on her for the sake of your relationship with Mr. Brandon?"
"Besides, Mr. Brandon’s decision to run for office wasn’t because of Ms. Joanna’s persuasion. It was his own willingness. I swear, Ms. Joanna never encouraged him to do so."
"So what?" Lady Octavia was determined to get rid of Aria, remaining unmoved, "Even if she didn’t persuade him, it’s still because of her. Just because of that, she’s a disaster."
"If Brandon can’t bring himself to deal with her, then let , as his mother, be the bad guy. Whether he resents or hates doesn’t matter; there are so things I have to do."
