"You..." Lady Octavia was on the brink of exploding.
"My Lady, I'm alright." Diana Kinsman gently tugged at her. Other than a split second of rigid expression, she soon regained her composure and said, smiling gracefully, "Mr. Ashton is right, we are strangers to each other."
"There's nothing wrong with how Mr. Ashton treats strangers."
"How can you say he's done nothing wrong? He didn't show a bit of gentlemanly demeanor!" Lady Octavia, fearing that Diana might get upset, quickly held her hand and tried to comfort her, "Winnie, don't be upset, please. Ashton is just hot-tempered, but it's not targeted at you. He's like this to everyone."
Diana smiled, appearing gracious, "Lady, I understand. I won't get angry over something like this."
"Winnie, you're indeed well-mannered." Praise filled Lady Octavia's eyes, "Your parents have taught you well, you're outstanding."
Lady Octavia visibly snubbed Joanna Lawrence in front of Ashton Heath.
