627: Chapter 627: You’re the family, I’m the outsider.
“Are you just trying to stir up trouble, not satisfied until sothing happens?”
“Grandma, don’t get angry.” Brandon, afraid that Madam Heath would get upset and harm her health, imdiately got up and walked to her side, gently patting her on the back.
“Since this matter was a misunderstanding, it’s fine as long as it’s cleared up.”
“Mom.” After comforting Madam Heath, Brandon looked up at Lady Octavia, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“You must have misunderstood Joanna.
I trust her character.
Let’s put this matter to rest, and don’t ntion it again.
Since Joanna has married into the Heath family, she is a part of our family.
Don’t use the word ‘outsider’ anymore.”
Being in a position of authority for a long ti, Brandon had taken an important position in the defense departnt of Australand at a young age.
When he spoke seriously, even Lady Octavia was sowhat intimidated by her eldest son.
But she didn’t want to lose face in front of so many people.
As a mother-in-law, what was wrong with her asking a few questions when she saw her daughter-in-law flirting with her ex on the streets?
Was she not supposed to ask?
Why did her daughter-in-law play the victim?
Who was she putting on a show for?
Trying to sow discord between her and her son?
Lady Octavia had long believed that Joanna was a scheming woman who manipulated her son and got him to marry her without consulting-
She was very unhappy about this.
If it weren’t for Madam Heath, she would never have accepted this daughter-in-law so easily.
Nor would she have allowed such a scheming woman to enter the Heath family.
Since she had already recognized Joanna as a scheming, wicked woman, everything Joanna did appeared deliberate in her eyes.
It was all a manifestation of deep sches.
It was as the saying goes: When you don’t like soone, everything they do is wrong.
Especially now, seeing her two sons and Madam Heath standing on Joanna’s side, her disgust for Joanna deepened even more.
This woman had barely married into the Heath family and had already caused discord in the household.
In the future, who knew what thods she would use to make this family even more restless.
“Fine, fine, fine.” Lady Octavia, feeling angry and abandoned even by her own son, stood up and said with a mix of grievance and fury, “It’s my fault, I misunderstood her.
I wrongly accused her and hurt her feelings.
She is completely innocent, she didn’t do anything wrong.”
“I am the evil mother-in-law, bullying my own daughter-in-law.”
“I was wrong just now; you are the family, and I am the outsider.”
After venting the last sentence in a low growl, Lady Octavia left the dining room with red-rimd eyes.
“Really no manners, absolutely no manners!
This is just not how an elder should behave!
She’s been spoiled by your father, she just can’t handle any pampering!” Madam Heath’s anger, which had just subsided, flared up again as Lady Octavia left the dining room.
She was so angry that even her breathing beca unsteady.
“Madam Heath, please calm down and don’t let your anger affect your health.” Tedd, seeing Madam Heath gasping for breath, hurriedly fetched her daily dicine, and a maid quickly brought a cup of warm water.
Although Madam Heath was old and carefully maintained her health every day, she inevitably had so minor ailnts.
