My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 2286 - 2279: Then You Give It a Try

Could it be a woman?

"Just you try." Brandon Heath didn’t mince words, firm and cold, "I never make empty threats. I’ll say it again—if Aria has any issues because of you, then our mother-son relationship ends here."

"You’re really going to sever ties with your own mother for a woman? Brandon, that’s heartless, disloyal, and unfilial! I endured ten months of pregnancy to give birth to you, provided you with life and a wealthy upbringing, and devoted everything to raise you. Is this how you repay me?"

Brandon listened to Lady Octavia’s various accusations, his expression calm, "Mom, I don’t expect you to care about her like I do. Even if you don’t like her, you shouldn’t hurt her. You knew how important she is to me, yet you still did this to her. When you decided to do that, you never considered our mother-son relationship. If you had even an ounce of concern, you wouldn’t target someone I care about."

"Since you don’t care, why should I?"

Without waiting for Lady Octavia to respond, Brandon hung up the phone first.

*

Lady Octavia’s face darkened like a Fondue Base after the call.

She couldn’t believe that her eldest son, who had always been obedient, filial, and well-mannered, would say such heartless words as cutting off his mother-son relationship—all for a woman named Aria Rowlett.

Before he met that woman, her son hadn’t been like this.

But why did both her sons become strangers to her after getting married and having a partner?

Lady Octavia felt utterly disappointed.

She believed she had failed.

Both her sons, whom she had raised, turned their backs on her for women, cutting off their relationship with their biological mother.

She had suffered so much during her pregnancies to give birth to her two sons, and now they all belonged to someone else.

Lady Octavia felt angry, sad, and powerless.

She felt her sacrifices were never reciprocated, and she couldn’t accept it.

Why did the sons she raised with such hardship, before she even got to enjoy their good fortune, shared it with other women?

Even if those two women were her daughters-in-law in name, it wasn’t acceptable.

Her sons were hers.

No one could steal them from her!

Lady Octavia didn’t realize her mentality was far from normal.

Both her pregnancies with Brandon and Ashton had been difficult and arduous, so she always saw them as her personal belongings deep down in her heart.

Even with Darren’s love, she never felt satisfied.

She wanted everyone to adore her.

Especially her two painstakingly raised sons—they shouldn’t go against her at all.

They should simply prioritize her, obeying her every whim.

In Lady Octavia’s heart, both Aria and Joanna were wicked women who stole her sons.

Lady Octavia was still dissatisfied with Joanna, but because of the White family’s influence, her discontent had slightly lessened, and she had given up on any thoughts of hurting Joanna.

She didn’t want to make an enemy of the White family.

So now, she could only target a soft target like Aria, from a small household such as the Rowlett family. Lady Octavia wasn’t afraid of the Rowlett family causing trouble even if she did something to Aria.

Brandon’s phone call not only failed to change Lady Octavia’s mind but also thoroughly infuriated her.
