Because in her view, the person who caused her relationship with her son to beco like this was Aria Rowlett.
If it weren’t for Aria Rowlett, she and her son wouldn’t have ended up like this.
Her son’s bright future wouldn’t have been ruined just like that.
Lady Octavia looked at the tightly closed door with tearful eyes, unable to contain the hatred in them.
Aria Rowlett, this scapegoat, took her son away and ruined his bright future.
She must drive this scapegoat away.
No matter what ans she has to use!

Brandon Heath closed the door to the study and walked over to sit down with Aria Rowlett.
His cold eyes once again fell on Aria Rowlett’s still swollen cheek, filled with both distress and self-bla. He asked softly, "Aria, does it still hurt?"
Of course it still hurt.
Lady Octavia didn’t hold back when she slapped her.
How could a harsh slap like that not hurt?
But Aria Rowlett saw the guilt-ridden look on Brandon Heath’s face and didn’t want to make him feel even more guilty. She shook her head and lied, "It doesn’t hurt anymore."
"Don’t lie to ." Brandon Heath’s slender white fingers touched the wounded area lightly, and Aria Rowlett frowned, her body shivering as she involuntarily made a "tch" sound from the pain.
Brandon Heath quickly withdrew his hand, no longer daring to touch her there.
He frowned, and his voice beca colder, "Still lying to that it doesn’t hurt. Why do you lie to ?"
Aria Rowlett blinked and looked at him with a wronged expression, "I just don’t want to see you feeling guilty. If I say it hurts a lot, won’t you feel even worse?"
Brandon Heath was stunned, and his gaze at her beca even more guilt-ridden.
It also beca more tender and affectionate.
He was silent for a mont, then reached out to stroke her head lovingly and sighed softly, "So, you didn’t want to see feel guilty, so you lied to ?"
"Mhm."
"Can you tell the truth now?"
"You want to hear the truth?"
"Of course." Brandon Heath raised her chin, his black, cold eyes looking straight into hers, "Don’t lie to , tell the truth."
"Alright." Aria Rowlett nodded, "Since you want to hear the truth, then the truth is it hurts, really hurts. Your mom hit so hard, she even made my mouth bleed. Did you know, when she slapped , I almost passed out."
Since he wants to hear the truth, she’ll tell it as it is.
After all, after what happened, she and Lady Octavia can’t even maintain superficial relations anymore.
There’s no need for her to be considerate either.
She will tell him everything about Lady Octavia’s misdeeds.
And she’ll even embellish it a bit.
She wants him to know how outrageous and terrifying Lady Octavia is.
That way, even if she has no contact with Lady Octavia in the future, Brandon Heath will have nothing to say about it.
At first, Brandon Heath’s expression remained calm.
But as he listened, his face began to change.
The man’s face, little by little, grew darker, and the atmosphere around him grew colder.
Aria Rowlett sensed that sothing was off, raised her head, and saw the chilling look in his eyes, which could even be described as terrifying.
This was the first ti she had seen such a frightening side of Brandon Heath.
The oppressive atmosphere around him was so low that Aria Rowlett felt a strong sense of repression.
Actually, in normal tis, Brandon Heath was also a person with an extrely strong aura, which made people feel oppressed.
