Hearing this, Sharon Lancaster gritted her teeth unwillingly: "I went to investigate that woman, and she’s nothing but a nouveau riche, far beneath the Lancaster Family. Samuel Rhodes must be blind! He’ll regret it one day!"
Sharon let out a cold snort: "From today, I’m no longer hiding. I’m going back to reclaim my heiress status!"
Upon hearing Sharon’s words, Nina Sinclair sighed helplessly, feeling deeply for her.
They were truly kindred spirits, facing the same situations unexpectedly.
However, their fates were different. Sharon could return home to reclaim her status as an heiress, while she had no home to return to.
All said and done, she felt she was the one more unfortunate.
Nina gave a bitter smile, yet she spoke to console her: "Sharon, don’t be sad. You’ll find a better man in the future."
"Finding a decent man isn’t that hard; don’t worry about me. Come on, I’ve booked a private designer. She has many breathtaking gowns that will make you shine at their engagement party."
Compared to her own matters, Sharon seemed more concerned about Nina’s.
Especially since her brother called today with special instructions; otherwise, she might have forgotten about it. Following his orders, she was quick to help Nina prepare.
Nina’s brows furrowed slightly.
"Sharon, Julian Lancaster went on a business trip. Would he not make it back by then?"
Recently, Julian hadn’t contacted her, making Nina uneasy.
She recalled seeing him having lunch with another woman that day, causing a sudden pang in her heart and her mood to plummet.
She initially wanted to ask Sharon about Julian, but after pondering, Nina decided it wasn’t necessary.
What if that really was his girlfriend?
What would she do then?
For some reason, the fearless woman found herself playing the ostrich, as if not asking meant she didn’t know, like pretending ignorance to cover up reality.
Suddenly, Nina felt a bit ridiculous. Thɪs chapter is updated by NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt
Why did she care so much about that man when he was merely a tool to counter Vincent Lancaster? Was it just because he treated her decently?
He never said anything or made any promises, it was just her feelings being stirred.
"Don’t worry, he’ll definitely make it back!" assured Sharon confidently.
Nina snapped back to reality and looked at Sharon questioningly: "How do you know he’ll definitely come back?"
"Of course, I know because he..." Sharon quickly shut her mouth, nearly letting the secret slip.
Julian had said he would return once he settled the matters with the old master, how could she not know!
Furthermore, he had mentioned that Nina couldn’t appear before the old master just yet, that they needed to handle Vincent Lancaster’s situation first, so she couldn’t tell Nina about Julian yet.
Sharon swiftly changed the topic, consoling her: "Ah, don’t worry. Didn’t he sign an agreement with you? He’s an honest man and will surely come back."
Sharon escorted Nina to the designer’s studio.
This studio, named Jenna’s Atelier, has an internationally renowned reputation for style, with uniquely designed dresses.
The staff warmly welcomed the two.
The designer brought out several intricately beautiful haute couture dresses, smiling as she introduced them: "Miss Lancaster, Miss Sinclair, these are meticulously designed dresses for the season. See if there’s any you like."
Though Nina had been living as an ordinary girl for several years, her discerning eye from childhood remained. She could tell at a glance that the dress adorned with small diamonds was invaluable, and the unique design promised unparalleled beauty when worn.
Sharon spotted a long lake-blue gown and promptly handed it to Nina, saying: "Hurry and try it on."
Helplessly, Nina had no choice but to clutch the gown and enter the dressing room to change.
When she emerged, Sharon immediately let out a small gasp of ’wow,’ her eyes filled with amazement.
