This statent caused quite a stir, and all the guests looked towards Uncle Ming.
The Lancaster Family had vast wealth and power, and everyone wanted to form a strong alliance with them to climb to a higher position. Yet, Old Master Lancaster had been searching for a wife for Julian Lancaster for a long ti, but there was never any news, and people thought there wouldn’t be any changes any ti soon.
Unexpectedly, today, the Lancasters were going to announce Julian Lancaster’s romantic status, which surprised many, and they began to discuss it in hushed tones.
"Do you think Julian Lancaster has a girlfriend?"
"Probably, otherwise why make such a formal announcent?"
"I wonder which family’s daughter is so lucky to have the man whom all won dream of!"
...
Only the daughters who knew about Heidi Leighton’s matter looked at her with envious expressions.
As Uncle Ming spoke, Old Master Lancaster slowly walked from the back and sat in the main seat of the banquet hall.
He observed the crowd’s reactions and huffed softly to himself.
His gaze subtly fell on Nina Sinclair, whose expression was calm but thoughtful, as if she didn’t know what would happen next.
Old Master Lancaster snorted inwardly: he would let Heidi know that inviting this woman was a mistake!
The whispers gradually quieted down.
Uncle Ming waited for the emotions to settle before continuing, "I believe everyone is very curious about our Young Master Quentin’s romantic life. On behalf of the Lancasters, I announce to everyone..."
Heidi Leighton wore a smug smile, her contemptuous gaze sweeping over Nina Sinclair, carrying an air of arrogance as if she were the victor.
She wondered how heartbroken Nina Sinclair would be later.
Even if she managed to sneak in, so what?
In the end, Julian Lancaster was still her man, and Nina Sinclair was nothing but a clown!
With great anticipation, Uncle Ming took a deep breath and loudly announced, "Our Young Master Quentin is no longer single!"
After his words fell, the room was silent for a mont, then erupted in exclamations, followed by intense chatter, and everyone started whispering to one another.
So, Julian Lancaster was taken?
Why hadn’t there been any news about it?
Given the distance between Veridia and Crestfall, and Julian Lancaster’s deliberate concealnt, it’s no wonder there wasn’t any news reaching Crestfall, making everyone so shocked by this news.
Nina Sinclair realized after hearing Uncle Ming’s words that this was the big news Julian Lancaster had ntioned earlier.
So, President Lancaster wanted to publicly announce he had a girlfriend, to surprise her?
Regarding President Lancaster’s girlfriend, Rebecca Lowell, Nina Sinclair didn’t want to comnt much. She could only wish them well.
It seed she needed to stay away from Rebecca Lowell in the future.
Julian Lancaster felt relieved when he saw no doubt on Nina Sinclair’s face.
At this mont, Marcus Walsh, looking sharp in a suit, walked up from the back and stood beside him with an enigmatic expression.
Seeing Marcus Walsh, Nina Sinclair beca more convinced that he was President Lancaster, feeling guilty for misunderstanding Julian Lancaster earlier.
Old Master Lancaster, after listening to Uncle Ming, frowned tightly, his face dark and stern with a long expression.
Why did sothing feel off?
The announcent of the Lancaster and Leighton Family alliance shouldn’t have been phrased like this; what was Uncle Ming up to?
At this point, soone courageously asked, "May I know which family’s daughter Julian Lancaster is seeing?"
Those surrounding them perked up their ears, waiting for Uncle Ming’s response.
Facing the curious gazes, Uncle Ming chuckled softly.
He glanced lightly at Old Master Lancaster, revealing a barely noticeable hint of regret in his eyes.
