As she had guessed, the box contained a silk scarf.
She picked it up, took a look, then put it back in the box and said with a faint smile, "Hmm, it's nice. I like it."
In front of so many people, she couldn't possibly say she didn't like it.
But in her heart, she thought she would never wear this scarf.
Ashton Heath went back to Joanna Lawrence's side, put his arm around her, and said to her in a low voice, "I told you, Grandma and Mom would surely like it. Are you relieved now?"
Joanna Lawrence was not blind.
She could see that Lady Octavia didn't like it.
Even saying she liked it was a struggle, not even making an effort to keep up appearances.
But in this situation, what else could she say?
"Is that so?" She also gave some polite response, pursed her lips with a smile, and then said, "As long as Mom and Grandma like it, that's good enough."
