<h4>Chapter 1547: Chapter 1364: Pleading for the Kelloway Family</h4>


    "Regardless of whether it is a Chinese esque or Western esque wedding, I want to give Joanna a grand one."


    "As you should. Both your and Brandon’s weddings should be grand. Speaking of which, I heard that the young girlfriend brought back by Brandon knows Joanna? Joanna, is this true?"


    "Yes, Grandma, Aria and I shared a dorm room in college. We’ve always been very close."


    "What a destined fate. The two of you are like sisters dating two brothers. If your friend ends up marrying Brandon, then she will be your sister-inw. You will be a real family and grow even closer."


    If Lady Octavia had made thisment, Joanna would not have thought she meant it as a good thing.


    But when Madam Heath said it, she truly meant it as a blessing.


    "Yes, I also hope that Aria can end up marrying Brandon. Then, she would be my sister-inw."


    "This year really made me feel the most at ease. In the past, I couldn’t sleep well worrying about the lifelong matters of Ashton and Brandon. I always feared that the two brothers would end up alone."


    "Thankfully, God has been kind to us Heaths as this year it saw the resolution of their personal matters. Once Brandon gets married, then I wouldn’t have anything to worry about."

    Madam Heath, being old and not in the best health, needed rest.


    After dinner and a bit of conversation with Joanna’s family, she expressed her fatigue and went off to rest.


    When Tedd guided Madam Heath away, Jeremy Lawrence thought of something and left the room to speak with Ashton Heath, asking, "Ashton, may I have a word with you in private?"


    Ashton nced at Joanna.


    Joanna stood up and said, "I’ll take a stroll in the garden. You talk to Jeremy."


    With that, she exited the hall.


    "Jeremy,e with me."


    Ashton left these words behind and headed for his upstairs study.


    Jeremy quickly followed him there.


    Once inside the study, Jeremy gently closed the door.


    Settled on the sofa, Ashton pointed to the seat opposite him and said, "Let’s sit down before we talk."


    Jeremy slowly made his way over.


    When he sat down, Ashton turned his head and asked, "What do you want to discuss with me?"


    "Ashton, has the Kelloway family asked for your assistance?" Jeremy decided to get straight to the point. He had promised Regina he’d plea for her case and regardless of Ashton’s willingness to help, he intended on keeping his promise.


    Ashton paused, furrowing his brows.


    Considering that Regina had sought out Jeremy earlier, Ashton had a rough idea of what was going on.


    "What you want to talk about is the Kelloway’s issue? Did Regina have you put in a word for them?"


    Jeremy abruptly lifted his head in surprise.


    "Regina sought you out this afternoon for the Kelloway’s situation?"


    Jeremy stayed silent for a while and hisplexion slowly returned to normal. He nodded, "Yes."


    "So, you want to persuade me to assist the Kelloway family?" Ashton raised an eyebrow.


    "Ashton, is your reluctance to help the Kelloway family due to what Reba did to Joanna?" Jeremy asked obliquely.


    "You could say that."


    "I understand you’re defending Joanna, but...the rest of the Kelloway family should be innocent. I’ve heard that the Heath family and the Kelloway family have a good private rtionship. Ashton, are you really not considering helping the Kelloways?"
