Her eyes seemed to carry knives, as if she hated Aria Rowlett so much she wanted to stab her to death directly, "What are you pretending? Did you make Brandon withdraw from the competition?"
"You scapegoat. Ever since Brandon has been with you, he's never had a good day. Your family background isn't good enough for him, but I reluctantly accepted you for the sake of the Heath family's offspring you're carrying. I thought if you lived your life quietly and peacefully, I wouldn't make things difficult for you. But you had the audacity to interfere in Brandon's future and persuade him to withdraw from the competition, I cannot tolerate you!"
"Even if Brandon is here, I must punish you severely!"
After Lady Octavia finished speaking, without waiting for Aria Rowlett to respond, she raised her hand and slapped her face again.
Aria Rowlett hadn't expected Lady Octavia to actually hit her, so she took the first slap.
