Louis Quinn raised his eyes and saw a graceful figure—Heidi Leighton.
Surrounding her were several young ladies, who just exclaid over sothing she said.
"Looks like Old Master Lancaster is getting really anxious, finding soone like this for you." Louis Quinn clicked his tongue, then remarked, "I think she’s way inferior to Miss Sinclair."
Julian Lancaster frowned and said with so displeasure, "Don’t compare Nina to her."
This ant that Heidi Leighton couldn’t asure up to Nina Sinclair.
Louis Quinn sheepishly fell silent.
Well... Seeing Julian Lancaster’s rare defensive stance towards his wife, if Louis weren’t familiar with him, he’d think the man standing before him was soone else in disguise.
...
At this mont, several young ladies were laughing and chatting around Heidi Leighton.
They weren’t familiar with this debutante from Veridia, but because of the presence of the Thatcher Family mbers around her, everyone looked at Heidi with so esteem, thinking she was mysterious, as she could mingle with the Thatchers.
It’s known that their families went to great lengths to invite the Thatchers to diagnose illnesses.
It’s said that the Thatchers don’t even honor the Lancaster Family’s requests.
So their families arranged for them to socialize here, hoping to connect with the Thatchers through Heidi Leighton, for the sake of their future.
Previously, before Joel Thatcher rose to prominence, the Thatcher Family didn’t amount to much in Crestfall, and they were generally ignored; now they’ve reached such a status solely due to Joel Thatcher.
Jessica Thatcher made a grave mistake earlier and was expelled by Joel Thatcher from the Thatcher Family, making her a holess person.
Her so-called dical skills are rather diocre as well.
Upon learning that Heidi Leighton was about to marry into the Lancaster Family, Jessica Thatcher set her sights on her, wanting to latch onto her to gain so benefits.
In reality, the two barely t two or three tis yet were already calling each other sisters.
Heidi Leighton thought she’d enlisted the Thatcher Family’s help, but Jessica Thatcher, seeking her own advantage, didn’t disclose her situation to Heidi, planning to bluff for now. Both were of the sa ilk.
Jessica Thatcher felt quite delighted seeing everyone orbiting around her.
No one paid attention to her before; now things were different.
If the Lancaster Family were to announce Heidi as the prospective granddaughter-in-law later, wouldn’t she, as Heidi’s best friend, beco even more celebrated? What difference would it make if she was expelled from the Thatcher Family? She could still live a glorious life!
With these thoughts in mind, Jessica Thatcher deliberately turned her gaze to Heidi Leighton, and asked, "Heidi, is the Lancaster Family announcing your news today?"
The mont her words dropped, exclamations rang around.
The Lancaster Family announcing their news? Could Heidi Leighton have so sort of relationship with them?
All at once, the young ladies around speculated.
Though today was Old Madam Lancaster’s birthday party, many had co with the intention of currying favor with the Lancaster Family; Julian Lancaster, the future head of the family, was particularly sought after by nurous won.
Jessica Thatcher’s words naturally attracted significant attention.
Upon hearing Jessica’s words, Heidi Leighton’s face showed a hint of embarrassnt. She humbly said, "I guess so, Elder Lancaster said he would announce it today."
Hearing this, everyone’s curiosity was further piqued.
The Lancaster Family had many mbers, and several unmarried n; it was unclear who Heidi Leighton was involved with.
Soone curiously asked, "Heidi, which Lancaster young master are you together with?"
