Chapter 2307: Chapter 2300: This punishment is actually considered light

I really didn’t expect that you would be so reckless. When you used to act willfully, I would turn a blind eye, thinking that as long as you didn’t cause too much trouble, I wouldn’t bother interfering. But it seems that my leniency has only led you to become more and more outrageous and unrestrained.”

“This time, you have made a terrible mistake.”

“Mom, I…” Lady Octavia was unwilling to admit her mistakes and was eager to explain.

Before she could finish, the Old Lady angrily interrupted her: “Shut up! What more do you have to say? I’ve tolerated you so many times, but this time I won’t tolerate you anymore.”

Lady Octavia’s face changed upon hearing these words.

Darren Heath’s expression also changed slightly, and he quickly tried to speak on behalf of Lady Octavia: “Mom.”

“You shut up, too.” The Old Lady was so angry that even her own son couldn’t appease her. “She has become like this because of you. If you hadn’t been protecting her and indulging her, could she have become what she is now?”

“I’ve told you before that you can pamper a woman, but don’t overdo it. If you had listened, Octavia Bridge would not have become more and more reckless because of your doting.”

Darren Heath’s face turned pale and green with the Old Lady’s words.

Still, he dared not argue.

The Old Lady continued to scold him angrily, “It’s fine to pamper someone who can handle it, but you keep spoiling her even when she can’t. You’ve ruined her! She is your wife, and her temper is your doing. Now that something like this has happened, you cannot escape responsibility.”

“You two go back to your room now to reflect on your actions. When she realizes her mistakes, she can come out. If she doesn’t, she can stay in her room forever and never come out again.”

Lady Octavia was far from resigned.

She shouted, “Mom, this is not fair! Everything I did was for Brandon’s sake and for the benefit of the Heath family. Why aren’t you punishing Aria Rowlett, instead punishing me?”

“You’re biased!”

The Old Lady looked at her coldly, “You almost made a big mistake, and if I don’t punish you now, who knows what you might do next? I think you are restless and can’t calm your mind. In a while, I will have Tedd bring you the Buddhist Scriptures. While you introspect behind closed doors, I want you to copy the scriptures for me.”

“What?” Lady Octavia exclaimed.

The Old Lady continued, “For now, just copy it once. If you still don’t realize your mistake, then copy it a few more times. Alright, go back to your room. I don’t want to see you now.”

This punishment was actually quite lenient.

But Lady Octavia still couldn’t accept it.

She was the hostess of the Heath family.

Now, in front of so many servants, she was being punished.

Once she accepted the punishment, how could she continue to live in this house with any dignity?

Moreover, if she accepted the punishment, that siren Aria would undoubtedly be gloating in her heart.

She couldn’t lose face in front of that siren.

Lady Octavia stood still, her face filled with rage, pointing at Aria Rowlett, “What about her? Since making a mistake requires punishment, how do you plan to punish her, mom?”

“That’s none of your business,” the Old Lady snapped. “I told you to go back to your room and reflect, did you hear me? Am I, an old woman, already so useless that my words have no effect?”
