Nina Sinclair left Joel Thatcher’s residence with a complex mood.
Initially, she was full of confidence, thinking Joel was just spouting nonsense, but upon careful reflection, she found the whole thing inherently strange.
The na Julian Lancaster is indeed rare, and the probability of a nasake is perhaps only 0.0001%!
She t him for the first ti through Sharon Lancaster’s arrangent, and because of her trust in Sharon, she had no doubts whatsoever.
Could it be that Sharon deceived her?
Then there’s Julian’s wealthy aunt, who insisted she was unworthy of Julian. If he indeed is that Julian Lancaster, his aunt’s words certainly have a solid foundation.
Nina Sinclair was suddenly unsure.
The more she thought, the more anxious she beca, especially with what Joel ntioned about the Lancaster family announcing Julian’s engagent at the birthday banquet.
Nina Sinclair took out her phone, wanting to confront Julian.
But then she considered, if she was mistaken, would he be angry at her lack of trust?
After hesitating for a long ti, she put the phone down.
No matter what, she’ll find out at the banquet tomorrow!
...
Crimson Ridge Manor.
Nina Sinclair arrived at the manor entrance on ti, standing in an inconspicuous spot to observe for a while.
Many vehicles were coming and going, luxury cars gathered, and the scene was attended by nurous wealthy families and prominent business people, as well as top-tier famous actresses.
It surely seed like the Lancaster family’s birthday banquet ntioned by Joel.
Moreover, there were no venues around that matched Julian’s status, not to ntion Joel said the entire area belonged to the Lancasters, making it even less likely to have outsiders.
So, is Julian really as he claims to be?
Nina Sinclair waited at the entrance for a long ti, but couldn’t catch sight of anyone resembling Julian, making her doubt whether she’d made a mistake or if it was just so misunderstanding.
She glanced at the ti and decided to call Old Madam Lancaster.
"Grandma, I’ve already arrived at the place you ntioned." Nina paused for a mont and tentatively asked, "Is it Crimson Ridge Manor?"
"Yes, Nina, go to the back door and wait, I’ll send soone to et you."
The call was disconnected, leaving Nina Sinclair’s heart racing.
It really is inside Crimson Ridge Manor, so Julian might indeed be a mber of the Lancaster family!
Nina Sinclair put her phone away and headed straight to the back door of the manor.
At this mont, a luxury car stopped at the entrance of the manor, and Justin Leighton and Heidi Leighton got out. Heidi, dressed carefully today, looked elegant, graceful, and srizing.
As she got off, she happened to see Nina Sinclair’s departing figure.
Watching Nina go, Heidi furrowed her brows slightly.
Isn’t that Nina Sinclair?
Why is she here? Could it be Julian called her?
No, since Elder Lancaster is announcing the engagent between their families, it’s impossible for Nina to be here. There’s only one possibility—Nina ca on her own.
Justin Leighton saw Heidi staring ahead and asked curiously, "Heidi, what’s wrong?"
Heidi withdrew her gaze and shook her head lightly, "Nothing, Dad, let’s go in quickly."
After the two entered, the Lancaster family’s butler, Chad Rhodes, promptly greeted them with courtesy, smiling as he said, "President Leighton, you’ve arrived, please co in!"
Old Master Lancaster instructed Chad to wait here for Justin Leighton, so he was specially at the entrance to greet him.
Justin Leighton enthusiastically exchanged pleasantries with Chad Rhodes.
At this mont, Heidi Leighton casually comnted, "Butler Rhodes, at today’s banquet, are there many people without invitations trying to sneak in?"
Chad Rhodes quickly replied, "Of course! After all, at an occasion like today, many guests are distinguished, who wouldn’t want to get so benefit by coming."
Heidi’s eyes slightly flickered, "Indeed, it wouldn’t be good if soone sneaked in."
