Heidi Leighton glanced at the heiress who asked the question, blinked, and then smiled mysteriously, "Otherwise... why don’t you guess?"
"Oh co on, how can we guess that!"
"Exactly, there are so many people in the Lancaster Family, it’s really hard to guess!"
Although the heiresses said so, they still subconsciously started to speculate.
From the Lancasters of the side rooms to the young masters of the collateral branches, they almost guessed everyone, yet Heidi Leighton continued to shake her head with a light smile. None of them was the one she was betrothed to!
Nobody thought it would be Julian Lancaster, after all, his status and position were not ones that ordinary people could aspire to.
In the end, it was Jessica Thatcher who announced the answer.
She smiled and said, "Heidi, stop teasing them."
After a brief pause, Jessica Thatcher proudly announced, "Actually, the one who is engaged to Heidi is Julian Lancaster!"
What! It’s actually Julian Lancaster??
Several heiresses covered their mouths in disbelief, staring at Heidi Leighton in shock.
They never expected she would be engaged to Julian Lancaster, it was truly beyond their expectations. From what they heard, Heidi Leighton seed to be the future granddaughter-in-law acknowledged by Old Master Lancaster?
Currently, the Lancaster Family was still under Old Master Lancaster’s control, and since Heidi Leighton was acknowledged by him, it was probably already a done deal.
In an instant, many heiresses, who were dressed in all their glamor, wore expressions of disappointnt on their faces.
They had originally been thinking about taking their chances, that if they could catch Julian Lancaster’s favor, they could beco the envied Madam Lancaster, but they didn’t expect that position to already be taken.
Seeing the changes on the heiresses’ faces, Heidi Leighton’s lips curved into a slight smile, feeling imnsely proud.
Jessica Thatcher looked at Heidi Leighton and teased with a smile, "Madam Lancaster, don’t make others too envious now; everyone wants to be the woman by Julian Lancaster’s side, and you’re the only one who succeeded."
"Jessica! Stop talking nonsense!" Heidi Leighton blushed bashfully, seemingly scolding Jessica Thatcher, but not actually preventing her from joking.
At this mont, a slight hush suddenly fell at the doorway, followed by low murmuring discussions.
Nina Sinclair and Sharon Lancaster stepped out gracefully in their dresses.
Under the lighting, Nina Sinclair’s flawless and exquisite face was simply breathtaking.
She was originally beautiful, but with this ticulous dressing, the impact she had on everyone was exceptionally strong.
With eyes like stars and skin as white and smooth as white jade, complented by a perfectly fitting gown, she moved through the space with an exceptionally graceful arc, resembling a fairy descending from heaven, leaving everyone unable to take their eyes off her.
Old Madam Lancaster seed to have been prepared, having arranged for a professional team to enhance Nina Sinclair’s beauty even further. With this exceedingly expensive high fashion gown, many were drawn to her.
After all, for a stunning stranger’s face, everyone was extrely curious and surprised. Even Sharon Lancaster and the others weren’t very familiar with her, only feeling that both she and Nina Sinclair were extraordinarily dazzling.
Sharon Lancaster deliberately brought Nina Sinclair out to wander around, intending to give her brother a heads-up, to let him know Nina Sinclair had arrived, so he could be prepared and avoid any potential conflicts later on.
Yet after strolling around, Julian Lancaster was still nowhere to be seen.
Sharon Lancaster couldn’t help but feel anxious; just a mont ago, she saw him standing here with Louis Quinn.
Where on earth has her brother gone?
