The banquet organized by Old Madam Lancaster this time was helped by Nina Sinclair. Although considering Nina’s health, she wasn’t made to work too hard, she still did everything that needed to be done, and Old Madam Lancaster was very satisfied.
Now, hearing Heidi Leighton’s words, her expression became somewhat meaningful.
Heidi Leighton was just a minor heiress in Veridia, while Nina Sinclair was the young lady of the Sinclair Family in Crestfall. Comparatively, Nina had seen much more of the world than Heidi Leighton.
Old Madam Lancaster wasn’t particularly fond of Heidi’s tactic of elevating herself by belittling others.
Initially, Old Madam Lancaster wasn’t very enthusiastic about Heidi Leighton. It was only because Elder Lancaster liked her that she treated Heidi slightly more kindly. Now, after hearing Heidi’s words, she became a bit more distant towards her.
However, in front of so many people, it wasn’t appropriate to contradict Heidi and cause her to lose face.
Old Madam Lancaster preferred not to make things too harsh, so she simply said indifferently, "I understand, I will certainly keep an eye out for Julian’s future wife."
Heidi Leighton thought Old Madam Lancaster would join her in disliking Nina Sinclair, just like Monica Lancaster did.
But to her surprise, Old Madam Lancaster responded plainly, without much expression, as if she hadn’t taken Heidi’s words to heart, making Heidi somewhat anxious.
Obviously, Old Madam Lancaster wasn’t interested in discussing this topic with her. Just then, a lady came looking for Old Madam Lancaster. She apologized to Heidi and then went off with that lady.
Watching Old Madam Lancaster’s departing figure, a shadow passed through Heidi Leighton’s eyes.
After all, someone like Nina Sinclair surely wasn’t qualified to marry into the Lancaster Family, so she just needed to find a way to win over Old Madam Lancaster.
By this time, Sharon Lancaster had already found Nina Sinclair in a room upstairs.
When she saw Nina comfortably watching TV and eating, she was utterly speechless.
"Nina! Why are you still here? My brother hasn’t found you and is almost beside himself with worry, and your phone is turned off! But here you are watching TV."
Nina glanced up at Sharon, picked up her phone and said, "It just ran out of battery, I didn’t notice."
Alright, Sharon then noticed that Nina hadn’t even changed her dress, so she asked, "You haven’t even changed your clothes, hurry and change so we can go down together."
Nina helplessly curled her lips slightly, "Sharon, I’m not going down, you go back first." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet
"What? Why?" Sharon was a bit baffled, not knowing what was going on with Nina.
Nina silently sighed, "Grandfather Lancaster just told me to stay upstairs and not to go down if there’s nothing important."
"What!" Sharon was practically stunned.
She never expected Grandfather Lancaster to do something , preventing Nina from going downstairs, who was he trying to humiliate?
Although she felt it was unfair to Nina, she was a bit afraid of Grandfather Lancaster and didn’t dare to let Nina go downstairs.
"I’m going to find my brother!" With that, Sharon turned and ran off.
"Hey, Sharon... wait..." Nina didn’t want her situation to cause conflict between Julian and Grandfather Lancaster, but Sharon had already run off without looking back, and she couldn’t catch up.
In the end, Nina could only sit back down in her spot.
She charged her phone, intending to call Julian later and let him know she was fine so he wouldn’t worry about her situation.
