"Regina," Lady Patrice said sternly, "Joanna is right. The Heath family and our Kelloway family are irreconcilable. You and Jeremy Lawrence are not to associate with each other anymore. When the Kelloway family was in dire straits, Joanna and I humbly sought the help of the Heath family, and they refused to lend a hand."
"If it wasn’t for Joanna’s influential friend who helped us through this disaster, the Kelloway family would have ended up bankrupt."
"The Heath family was rciless and ruthless. There will be no interpersonal relations between our Kelloway family and the Heath family in this life. This applies to you as well. You’re not allowed to have any contact with anyone from the Heath family, understand?"
Regina clenched her fists.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
She wanted to tell Rebecca and Lady Patrice that Jeremy was innocent.
The disputes between the two families had nothing to do with him.
The person who refused to help was not him.
He had appealed to his family for the Kelloways’ sake.
But eting Rebecca and Lady Patrice’s angry gazes, she couldn’t say anything.
Because she knew, whatever she said would be in vain.
Rebecca’s hatred for Ashton Heath and Joanna Lawrence had seeped into her bones.
The hatred in her eyes was so intense.
And Lady Patrice...
Their animosity towards the Heath family was extrely deep.
No matter how much she spoke up for Jeremy, they wouldn’t listen.
"Regina, did you hear ?" Seeing her silent, Lady Patrice repeated, coldly, "You are not to associate with Jeremy Lawrence anymore. Even if you truly like him, you need to give up now."
Regina’s nose was sore, her eyes teary. Under Lady Patrice and Rebecca’s icy stare, she uttered a feeble "okay."
As soon as she finished, tears stread down her face.
"It’s okay, stop crying." Seeing her beloved youngest daughter crying, Lady Patrice softened her tone, patted her back and said, "Regina, if it was before, I would have supported you seeing Jeremy."
"But not now. Since he is a mber of the Heath family, you two cannot be together."
"It is better to bear a short-term pain than long-lasting one. You’re young. It’s easy for you to like soone, and easy for you to forget soone. Just concentrate on your studies for now. Mom will find you a boy who is better than him."
"Rember, we, the Kelloway family, can’t be with anyone from the Heath family."
Regina bit her lip as silent tears rolled down her cheeks.
A better boy than Jeremy?
Perhaps there were.
But she liked only Jeremy.
No one else could occupy such an important place in her heart.
Because in this world, there was only one Jeremy Lawrence.
"Regina, Mom and Joanna are doing this for your own good. The people of the Heath family are cruel and cold-hearted, they’ll hurt you sooner or later. Although you’re mad at us now, you’ll understand later who truly cares for you," Rebecca said.
"If I ever see you two together, don’t bla for being unkind," Rebecca said with a cold face and went upstairs.
"Don’t bla your sister for being harsh; she is also finding it hard. You know how much she liked Ashton Heath. But then, Ashton chose Joanna Lawrence," Lady Patrice said after Rebecca left, tenderly patting Regina’s hand and sighed.
