When Nina Sinclair and Julian Lancaster woke up the next day, they had breakfast and went to work at Zenith.
The Lancaster Family mbers watched the two of them being as inseparable as ever, as if Nina’s gloomy deanor last night had been their imagination.
"Sharon, what did you talk about with your sister-in-law last night? Why was she upset anyway?"
Upon hearing her parents’ eager questions, Sharon Lancaster quickly elaborated on her conversation with Nina Sinclair, ntioning the situation with Heidi Leighton, and finally gave a summary.
"Mom, Dad, I think Heidi is being arrogant because Grandpa supports her, trying to compete with my sister-in-law. Does my sister-in-law really need to compete with her? My brother doesn’t even like her."
As Sharon spoke, she humd, "Besides her family background, Nina completely overshadows Heidi. Grandpa is truly being foolish! Praising the sesa seed as if it’s a treasure, Nina is the granddaughter-in-law he should value!"
Mrs. Lancaster frowned and said, "The old man is always so stubborn. Your dad and I prefer freedom. We moved away from Crestfall to escape his controlling ways. Now he’s happy with Heidi and naturally doesn’t want Julian to choose Nina as his granddaughter-in-law."
"What should we do then?" Sharon asked, resting her chin on her hand with a heavy sigh. "We can’t let Heidi stay at Zenith forever. If she affects my brother and sister-in-law’s relationship and my sister-in-law leaves, where would you find another daughter-in-law?"
Mr. Lancaster wasn’t as pessimistic. He said, "I trust Julian’s ability. He wouldn’t let such a thing happen. Let’s not interfere. We might even end up burdening him."
After speaking, Mr. Lancaster seed to rember sothing and gave Mrs. Lancaster a look.
Mrs. Lancaster caught on and agreed, "Right, let’s not worry. Speaking of which..."
She then turned to Sharon, saying, "It’s about you! You’ve been single for so long... You’re not getting any younger. If you don’t marry soon, you’ll run out of options. I have a friend’s son who’s quite handso and has an excellent character. You’re about the right age, so it’s ti to find a boyfriend. Go et him this afternoon."
"Yes, your mother already set up a eting. Go see him and get to know him."
"What!" Sharon almost jumped up.
She hadn’t expected the conversation about Julian would suddenly involve her, and from the sound of it, were they trying to set her up on a blind date? And this afternoon!
Oh my, this turn of events ca too quickly. Her little heart couldn’t take the shock.
Mrs. Lancaster said, "No need to be so surprised. People are busy these days, and efficiency is key. If you find a boyfriend yourself, do you want to end up with soone like Samuel Rhodes again!"
Upon hearing her situation brought up, Sharon beca silent.
She was a victim too.
Who would have known she’d et a gold-digger like Samuel Rhodes? Did she want that?
"Mom, who’s that friend of yours? Do I know them?" Sharon reluctantly accepted Mrs. Lancaster’s terms but still felt a bit nervous, wanting to find out who she was set up with.
She knew almost all of the Veridia elite families, even if she hadn’t t them, she had so impression.
Knowing in advance who it was might give her so ntal preparation.
Mrs. Lancaster snorted, "If you can get married, we’d be thrilled. Do you think you have a choice? Stop wasting ti and go on that blind date!"
Sharon felt like crying but had no tears.
She was part of the Lancaster Family, was she really that bad?
In the end, she could only pitifully prepare herself to et the blind date in the afternoon.
Who would have thought she’d fall to such a day?
