<h4>Chapter 1167: Chapter 1164: You Better Not y Any Tricks Now</h4>


    "But I heard that they announced it on their blog today. Now many people know that they are together. I was just curious why Joanna is willing to go public now, so I asked."


    Lady Octavia impulsively shared this news that day, and was severely scolded by Madam Heath.


    She had learned her lesson and would not do anything so impulsive again.


    Even if she didn’t like Joanna Lawrence, in front of Madam Heath, she had to keep up appearances.


    Madam Heath was taken aback: "Is that so?"


    She asked Joanna: "Joanna, did you and Ashton really go public?"


    Joanna put down her fork and looked directly at Madam Heath: "Grandma, Ashton and I have gone public. However, no one knows his identity. The entertainment industry is a veryplicated ce, and I don’t want his identity to be exposed."


    "Grandma, I have to apologize to you."


    "Apologize to me?" Madam Heath was puzzled, "What have you done to apologize to me?"


    Joanna sincerely said, "I’ve caused quite a few scandalstely, although none of them are true."


    "Grandma didn’t me me for those scandals and didn’t stop liking me because of them. I’m really grateful to Grandma. I think I can’t go on like this in the future. It’s not good for myself or for Ashton."


    "That’s why I decided to go public."


    "If we do this, there will be no more false rumors about me and other people in the future."


    "Is that so?" Before Madam Heath could say anything, Lady Octavia spoke with an odd tone: "They say there’s no smoke without fire, but are those scandals really all made up by reporters? Of course, I don’t mean to doubt you, but since you’re married to Ashton, you’re now a part of a family and should know what it means to avoid suspicion and behave. You just said that your circle is veryplicated, can a woman like you really survive in such aplicated ce?"


    "You’re now Mrs. Joanna Heath, and you won’tck anything. In my opinion, you should stop acting altogether and focus on being a good wife and mother at home. Our Heath family doesn’t need the money you earn from acting. People will gossip when they find out that my daughter-inw is a small actress in the entertainment industry."


    "Lady Octavia, my sister has never done anything wrong to Ashton! Those scandals were all fake, and Joanna was also a victim. This is the twenty-first century, and the old times are over. There is no saying that women must stay at home to be a wife and mother after getting married. Ashton treats Joanna very well, and I believe that even if she doesn’t act, she could still live afortable life. But acting is Joanna’s dream and passion, and getting married doesn’t mean she has to give up her pursuit of her dream," Jeremy Lawrence couldn’t bear to hear people talk about his sister like this, and couldn’t help but refute Lady Octavia’s words.


    Even if he was actually nervous, no one could bully his sister!


    Ashton Heath was about to chime in to protect his wife, but his little brother-inw beat him to it.


    He didn’t say anything more, wanting to see how Jeremy would defend his sister.


    Madam Heath also remained silent, her eyebrows furrowed as she observed, thinking how hard it was for Lady Octavia to change her nature.


    Originally, everyone was in a good mood, but Lady Octavia had to spoil the atmosphere with her words.
