Only then did Madam Heath notice that one side of Aria Rowlett’s face was a little swollen.
"Octavia, is everything that Brandon said true?" Madam Heath’s face darkened, "What did you plan to do by taking people there? Even if you are not satisfied with Aria, don’t you know she’s pregnant and should not be touched right now?!"
"Mom, I..." Lady Octavia’s expression suddenly beca frantic, and she hurriedly explained, "Mom, you’ve misunderstood . I took people there, but I didn’t intend to do anything."
"I misunderstood you?" Madam Heath was furious, "Tell , where did I misunderstand you? Are you implying that Brandon is lying to ?"
"No." Lady Octavia’s face turned ugly, "Mom, I did take people there, but I wanted them to take Aria abroad. I thought she would be better off not staying in the country during her pregnancy, and going abroad would be much better."
"I was doing it for her own good." Lady Octavia lied forcefully, "She didn’t cooperate and didn’t appreciate my kindness. I had no choice but to let soone take her away by force. As for that slap..."
Lady Octavia clenched her teeth, turned her head around, and her sharp gaze fell on Aria Rowlett, cutting her like a knife: "She deserved it! That slap was to teach her not to ddle in things she shouldn’t in the future."
"Mom, shouldn’t I have slapped her?" Lady Octavia’s expression was self-righteous, "She made a mistake, what’s wrong with teaching her a lesson as an elder? When I was young and made mistakes, you disciplined too, didn’t you?"
"You said back then that if you did sothing wrong, you deserved punishnt. Now that it’s my turn, is it not allowed?"
Joanna Lawrence had noticed the problem with Aria Rowlett’s face long ago.
At first, she didn’t even consider that Aria had been hit or sothing.
After all, she thought that even if Lady Octavia was dissatisfied with Aria Rowlett, Aria was pregnant, and Lady Octavia shouldn’t have hit her anyway.
She didn’t expect that, Aria’s face had actually been struck by Lady Octavia.
Knowing that her best friend had been hit, Joanna couldn’t control her anger.
She let go of Ashton Heath’s hand, and in the astonished eyes of everyone, walked to Lady Octavia with fury in her eyes.
Seeing her storming furiously, Lady Octavia was also taken aback, frowning and asking, "Joanna Lawrence, what do you want to do?"
"Mom, you knew that Aria was pregnant, yet you still hit her. What kind of heart do you have? How can you be so cruel and heartless? As an elder, even if you don’t love and care for your younger generations, Aria is carrying Brandon’s child in her womb, your future grandchild, and how could you hit her?"
"You’ve really gone too far!"
Joanna’s accusations left Lady Octavia bewildered.
After a few seconds, when Lady Octavia reacted, her face darkened instantly, and she said in humiliation and anger, "You want to stand up for Aria Rowlett? Joanna Lawrence, I am your mother-in-law and elder, what kind of attitude is this?!"
"This matter has nothing to do with you, don’t ddle in it!"
But Joanna wasn’t afraid of her at all.
Just thinking about that slap Aria took made her heartache.
Her friend Aria had not been very happy in her original family either.
Now, finally there was soone who loved and doted on her, and her days were slowly getting better, only to be hurt by Lady Octavia again.
