<h4>Chapter 989: Chapter 987: Do You Know What Your Fate Will Be?</h4>


    Originally, President Ashton and Ms. Joanna were legally married after obtaining a marriage certificate, and they were in President Ashton’spany, his own office.


    Whatever he wants to do with his wife, it’s all legal and normal.


    However, Cody Aberton was clear in his heart that if Lady Octavia found out about this, it would probably not be a good thing.


    To the older generation, during the daytime in the office...


    President Ashton is Lady Octavia’s own son, she definitely wouldn’t have too many objections towards her son.


    The main issue is Ms. Joanna.


    Perhaps, Lady Octavia would think that Ms. Joanna is shameless, seducing her son to do such things during the daytime.


    Originally, Lady Octavia was not too pleased with Ms. Joanna.


    If she were to find out...


    Sure enough, when Lady Octavia heard that Joanna Lawrence was also present, her face immediately changed.


    Upon seeing the bag of clothes in Cody Aberton’s hands, her face worsened.


    Very quickly, she and Reba Kelloway had the same thought.


    "Ms. Joanna is also here?" Lady Octavia stared at the bag of clothes in Cody Aberton’s hands with a gloomy face, containing her rage, "Is this clothes bought for her? What did she do, why do you need to buy clothes for her?"


    Reba Kelloway, seeing that Lady Octavia was angry, added fuel to the fire. "Cody, if I’m not mistaken. You’ve also bought a set of underwear, right? What exactly did Joanna and Ashton do for you to have to buy underwear for her?"


    How could Lady Octavia not understand the underlying meaning of her words?


    Her face immediately turned particrly ugly.


    Seeing this, Cody Aberton cursed Reba Kelloway in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Lady Octavia, the secretary upstairs identally spilled coffee on Ms. Joanna. You know, it’s summertime and the clothes are thin, so she needs to change the whole set."


    "The coffee was spilled on her?" Lady Octavia’s face still looked bad, but it was slightly better than before.


    Cody Aberton nodded seriously, "Yes, coffee was spilled on her. Ms. Joanna was wearing white today. Therefore, President Ashton asked me to go and buy a new set."


    "Hmm."


    After her questioning, Lady Octavia snorted coldly, "Then this secretary is too clumsy, can’t even do such a simple thing. Cody, are you telling the truth? You’re not lying to me, are you? The coffee really got spilled on her?"


    Ayer of cold sweat broke out on Cody Aberton’s forehead, yet he dared not wipe it off. "Lady Octavia, where would I dare to lie to you? It really is like that."


    Seeing that Lady Octavia seemed to believe Cody’s words, Reba Kelloway turned her head and red at Cody. "Cody, don’t you dare lie to Lady Octavia. If she finds out you lied to her, do you know what will happen to you?"


    Cody Aberton: "..."


    Damnit.


    Why hadn’t he realized before how annoying Ms. Reba was?


    He even used to think she was a pretty decent person.


    Indeed, looks can be deceiving, one should not judge a book by its cover.


    "Ms. Kelloway, I don’t have the guts to lie to Lady Octavia. Besides, I have no reason to lie to her." Cody Aberton took a deep breath, hiding his anger. He had a forced smile on his face, "Ms. Kelloway, you are overthinking."


    "Really?" Reba Kelloway smirked, "You not lying to Lady Octavia is of course the best. But if you did..."


    She didn’t finish her words, but the threat was unspoken yet clear.


    Cody Aberton: "..."


    *


    Cody Aberton followed Lady Octavia and Reba Kelloway to the president’s office floor with trepidation.


    When he got out of the elevator, he nced in the direction of the president’s office, praying silently that his boss, President Ashton, wasn’t still with Ms. Joanna...
