<h4>Chapter 986: Chapter 984: Would you... not like me anymore?</h4>


    Lady Octavia’s long-anticipated event suddenly fell through, and she found it hard to ept that her best son in the world married a woman from a small household through a sh marriage without prior approval.


    She had always wanted Reba Kelloway to marry Ashton Heath, so her dissatisfaction and disgust for Joanna Lawrence were just as deep.


    If it weren’t for this scheming woman secretly marrying her son, she would never have allowed such a woman to marry into the Heath family!


    "Lady Octavia, I made a mistake. If I tell you what it is, you probably won’t like me anymore." Tears fell from Reba’s eyes, and she said with a sad, red face, "You know I’ve liked Ashton since I was little. My childhood dream has always been to marry him and be his wife."


    "I had always thought that I would be his wife."


    "Then, all of a sudden, he got married. When I heard the news of his marriage, I was so heartbroken and sad. I couldn’t sleep for several days, couldn’t eat anything, and even felt that life had no meaning."


    Lady Octavia was moved and tightly held Reba’s hand: "Reba ..."


    Reba, with tearful eyes, looked at Lady Octavia: "I am so jealous of Joanna, and I am not willing to let go. I’ve liked Ashton for over twenty years and have been by his side all this time, but he ended up marrying someone else."


    "At that time, I was blinded by jealousy and did some irrational things. Lady Octavia ... In fact, all the rumors about Joanna Lawrence that you saw some time ago were ... spread by me."


    "I was really too jealous of her, and I couldn’t ept her being with Ashton. I couldn’t stand her having such a good life, with Ashton pampering and spoiling her. I thought Ashton would be angry and care if he saw her having an unclear rtionship with other men."


    "Wouldn’t he divorce her?"


    "Even if they don’t divorce, they might fight over it. Maybe if they keep fighting like that, Ashton will get tired of it and divorce her."


    Reba started crying as she described the situation: "Lady Octavia, am I being too despicable and vicious? I feel so despicable myself. I don’t know how I became the person I hated the most."


    "But I really can’t control myself. I really can’t sincerely ept them and bless them."


    Lady Octavia was stunned, showing an astonished expression on her face.


    After a while, she eximed in surprise, "Reba, are you saying that the scandals involving Joanna Lawrence some time ago were all your doing?"


    Reba nodded with tears.


    "Her thing with her ex-boyfriend ..."


    "Lady Octavia, I did leak that stuff. But I didn’t fabricate or nder her. I was there at the scene, and I saw her and her ex-boyfriend with my own eyes. The videos were not taken by someone I hired, many people at the scene saw it too."


    "Then the rumor about her and the male actor ..."


    "That had nothing to do with me. I didn’t release those news." Reba sobbed for a moment, wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, and with fear and unease in her tearful eyes, she said,


    "Lady Octavia, do you think I’m bad and have be a bad girl? Will you ... not like me anymore?"
