734: Chapter 733: Do You Know You Almost Drove Crazy?
Even Madam Heath, who has always been defending her, could not possibly ignore such a matter.
If Madam Heath were further dissatisfied with Joanna Lawrence, her position as the young lady of the Heath family would be extrely precarious.
Thinking of this, a satisfied smile curled at the corners of Rebecca Kelloway’s mouth.
She would temporarily concede the position of Young Lady of the Heath family to Joanna Lawrence for a while longer.
After all, that position would eventually be hers anyway.
Besides, she relished the sight of her enemies tumbling from the skies.
That mont would definitely be extraordinarily spectacular.
“Lady Octavia, it’s alright, my own matters aren’t a big deal.
The most important thing is for you not to damage your health due to upset,” Rebecca was even more intent on showing her gentle, considerate side in critical tis like these.
“You’ve always been like my real mother.
If you get upset and hurt yourself, I’d feel heartache too.”
“That’s my good-girl Rebecca.
She always knows to put first,” Lady Octavia, holding Rebecca’s hand, was increasingly satisfied with her chosen daughter-in-law.
She couldn’t wait for Ashton to divorce Joanna and marry Rebecca imdiately.
“Lady Octavia, since you’re going to visit Madam Heath, I won’t disturb you any longer.
I’ll co to visit you again tomorrow.
Hopefully, my frequent visits aren’t burdenso to you.”
“Of course not.
I wish you would just stay here with us at the Heath residence and never leave,” Lady Octavia paused briefly then laughed.
“But you’ll be here soon enough.
Your destiny is to be my daughter-in-law.”
“Lady Octavia…” Rebecca let out a shy whimper.
Lady Octavia narrowed her eyes, a ruthless glimr in them,” That siren, I am determined to banish her from the Heath family.”

When Gary White went to see Joanna, he didn’t tell her that Ashton Heath was aboard a plane flying to Frankfurt.
Therefore, when Nina heard a knock on the door, and opened it to see a man standing outside, she couldn’t help but scream in surprise.
And then she shouted loudly: “Joanna!
Joanna…”
In another room.
Joanna rushed from her room, alard by Nina’s outcry, thinking that sothing had happened.
She dashed out of the bedroom, only to see Nina, frozen in the doorway.
She paused for a mont, walked over with curiosity: “Nina, what are you doing?”
Just as she moved closer, Nina stepped aside, and a tall, dark figure entered the room.
As the man’s handso and deep face beca clearer and clearer in her sight, Joanna found herself rooted to the ground, wide-eyed.
Not until he was standing still, right in front of her.
“Why didn’t you reply to my ssages?”
“Why didn’t you answer my calls?”
“Do you have any idea how worried I was about you?”
“Do you realize how scared I was not being able to get a hold of you?”
“Do you know the fear I felt thinking that you might be in danger, I felt like my heart had stopped.”
“Joanna Lawrence, did you know that you nearly drove insane?”
Facing the man’s barrage of questions, Joanna opened her mouth to speak, but before she could, she was enveloped in his embrace.
The man’s forceful arms wrapped tightly around her waist, pulling her against his chest.
His heartbeat was not as calm as usual.
It was fast and strong, with each beat, his chest shuddered.
It was a testant to how disturbed his state of mind was at this mont.
Things she wanted to say seed to be stuck in her throat.
She hesitated, before extending her hand and gently reciprocating his hold.
