My Secret Billionaire Husband

Chapter 2280: Chapter 2273: This is Not for You to Manage

She would never be able to deceive her son again.

However, that siren was very cunning and managed to find a reason to refuse.

Since Madam Heath also sided with her, Lady Octavia had no choice but to give up on sending her abroad for prenatal care.

If she kept insisting, it might arouse suspicions.

Lady Octavia initially planned to find another excuse to get Aria Rowlett out of the house, but before she could come up with a perfect excuse, she learned that Brandon Heath had dropped out of the General Election.

Brandon had prepared for this election for several years.

Therefore, Lady Octavia did not believe that her son voluntarily chose to give up.

The only explanation was the siren’s influence on him.

With this turn of events, Lady Octavia could not wait to get rid of Aria Rowlett.

Ria, after hearing her words, slowly understood her intentions.

Her eyes widened in shock as she asked, "Madam, you... you want to send Ms. Joanna away? Where do you plan to send her to?"

Lady Octavia looked at her coldly and said, "This is none of your concern."

There was the sound of slammed doors coming from upstairs.

Ria’s face turned pale as she raised her head to look upstairs.

Lady Octavia also looked up, her eyes cold and devoid of warmth.

Today, no matter what, she had to rid of the disaster that was Aria Rowlett!

Before Lady Octavia arrived, she had checked Brandon’s schedule and knew when he usually came home from work.

Thus, she knew that Brandon was now rushing home.

However, she had already arranged for a minor incident to occur on Brandon’s way home.

It would take him a while to return.

She had enough time to get rid of Aria Rowlett.

Thinking of this, the corners of Lady Octavia’s lips slowly curved up, feeling much relieved.

As long as she could get rid of the siren Aria Rowlett, everything would return to normal.

Upstairs.

Following Ria’s advice, Aria Rowlett ran into Brandon Heath’s study and locked the door from the inside.

After locking the door, she went to the window and closed it as well.

The reason Ria recommended Brandon’s study was that the door was much sturdier than the other doors in the house, and the security system was particularly well-designed.

This was where Brandon usually worked.

It was inevitable that some confidential documents would be kept here.

Therefore, the study was a priority when it came to renovating the house.

Aria knew that once she locked the door, people outside wouldn’t be able to enter for a while.

But she still felt insecure.

She took out her phone to call Brandon Heath.

As soon as it rang, the study door was slammed with a loud "bang."

She trembled and almost dropped her phone.

She heard the bodyguard outside saying, "Ms. Aria, it’s best if you come out on your own. Don’t force us to use violence."

At this moment, the call connected.

Aria heard Brandon calling her name: "Aria." noveldrama

Aria was very anxious inside.

However, upon hearing Brandon’s voice, she seemed to have calmed down, feeling less scared.

She gripped her phone tightly: "Brandon, how much longer until you get home?"

Another loud slamming noise came: "Ms. Aria, did you hear that? If you don’t come out now, we’re going to break the door."

"What’s that noise?" Brandon’s voice on the phone instantly became serious. "Aria, where are you? What happened?"

"No, nothing," Aria took a deep breath and walked towards the window. "Brandon, where are you? How much longer until you can come home?"
