Chapter 2960: Chapter 2478: Octavia and I are Divorced
Usually well-dressed with a meticulous makeup, she was now in casual clothes, with her hair even seeming slightly messy.
She clearly didn’t have the energy to even bother with her appearance.
This was the first time Joanna Lawrence saw Lady Octavia in such an "unkempt" state.
"Madam Heath, Mr. Brandon, Ms. Aria, Mr. Ashton and Ms. Joanna have returned."
Madam Heath lifted her gaze towards Joanna Lawrence’s direction, her eyes reflecting her tired spirit. Massaging her temples, she spoke with a weary voice "All of the children are back, sit down first. I have something to discuss with everyone."
Lady Octavia’s standing figure froze, and then, her shoulders dropped listlessly.
After a while, everyone took their seats, with only Lady Octavia standing up with a pale face.
"Now that everyone is here, I’ll start." Madam Heath glared at Lady Octavia, who was in front of her, with her head buried and silently shedding tears. Shaking her head first, then sighed, "I’ve asked you all to come back today to inform you that starting from today, Darren and Octavia are no longer husband and wife."
Upon hearing Madam Heath’s words, Damien Heath and Lady Delilah were both visibly surprised.
Neither Ashton Heath’s nor Brandon Heath’s expressions changed, as if they already knew about this.
Joanna Lawrence and Aria Rowlett had also guessed a bit about this beforehand, so their expressions were also quite calm.
They had long heard Darren Heath was going to divorce Lady Octavia.
But whether they had actually divorced was unclear.
Now that even Madam Heath had said this, it seemed that the divorce had been formalized, and the procedures at the Civil Affairs Bureau had been completed.
Only Damien Heath and Lady Delilah seemed to have just learned about this and looked very surprised.
"Mom, what...what did you say? What do you mean when you say that my elder brother and Ms. Aria are no longer husband and wife?" Lady Delilah’s eyes widened, disbelief coating her voice as she pointed to a heavy-faced Darren Heath, then to a tearful Lady Octavia, "Did elder brother and Ms. Aria.....divorce?"
Damien Heath was also immensely surprised: "Mom, what do you mean by what you just said?"
"Brother, you and Ms. Aria, you guys...." Damien Heath turned his head to ask Darren Heath.
Under the gazes of the crowd, Darren Heath rose to his feet. He shifted his gaze away from Lady Octavia, and with a somewhat hoarse voice said, "Octavia and I have divorced. I will distribute half of my property to her, and the other half of my property has been divided into three portions by my lawyer, one for Ashton, one for Brandon, and the remaining part, I’ve decided to give to Winnie."
Upon hearing this, Madam’s Heath’s expression didn’t change, but when Darren said that he was going to distribute a portion of his assets to Diana Kinsman, she exclaimed in surprise, "Darren, I normally wouldn’t meddle in how you decide to distribute your assets, but do you really intend to give a portion of it to Diana? Even though she is of Heath blood, she didn’t grow up in the Heath family, and she doesn’t feel much for you as her father, you..."
"Mom, I made this decision after careful consideration. I know what I’m doing." Darren Heath narrowed his eyes, speaking in a deep voice, "Mia saved my life. At that time, not only did I not repay her for her kindness, but I also wronged her, it’s about time I rectified this."
"But since she has passed away, the only person I can make it up to now is Winnie. This matter is settled, and there will be no changes."
