Nina Sinclair’s family background seemed to have gone unnoticed by everyone.
The aristocratic social circle is actually a closed loop. For ordinary people without any family background, it’s very difficult to enter this circle, as every person in this circle is a connection, and everyone has power representing them.
In such an intricate, intertwined situation, the circle becomes particularly exclusive to outsiders, especially those without identity.
Even someone like Heidi Leighton, a socialite from Veridia, finds it challenging to integrate into Crestfall’s circle.
That’s why she prepared so many gifts, trying to enhance her networking.
She never expected that Nina Sinclair would ruin it, and Nina managed to get what she wanted. How could this not make her jealous? That’s why she recklessly exposed Nina Sinclair’s family background.
She intended to make everyone despise her!
Justin Leighton didn’t expect that Heidi would lose her composure and go up to speak with those people like that.
But it’s just as well, since they already made a slip earlier. If they can seize this opportunity to discredit Nina Sinclair, it would have the same effect.
Julian Lancaster and Old Master Lancaster’s expressions changed immediately.
Julian was displeased because Heidi was targeting Nina Sinclair, while Old Master Lancaster was filled with disappointment.
Heidi Leighton was too immature!
To openly point out Nina Sinclair’s family background issue in such a setting, a true noble lady would never do something so lowly.
Now, he couldn’t help but wonder if it was really a good idea to have found Heidi Leighton in a small place like Veridia, or if he made a mistake.
Heidi was not an ideal candidate for the family matriarch.
It seems that his previous impressions of Heidi were all illusions.
Heidi Leighton was so focused on exposing Nina Sinclair’s family background that she was completely unaware that she had already been disdained by Old Master Lancaster because of her behavior.
Several ladies heard Heidi’s words and asked in surprise, "Miss Leighton, what do you mean by your previous remarks?" Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt
Seeing everyone’s surprised expressions, Heidi replied with a smile, "Nina Sinclair is just from an ordinary family with no background. If you want to befriend her, I suggest you think it through carefully to avoid being used."
Sharon Lancaster could barely hold back from slapping her upon hearing Heidi’s distortions.
This woman is truly detestable!
Nina Sinclair is clearly the daughter of the Sinclair Family, yet she keeps claiming Nina has no background at all. Is she trying to belittle Nina in front of everyone?
Sharon was about to say something when Nina pulled her back.
Feeling indignant, she looked at Nina and asked, "Nina, why are you stopping me?"
Nina gave Sharon a reassuring look, then turned to Heidi and said, "Miss Leighton, is making friends solely about their family backgrounds? Does not having a good family background mean I’m unworthy of being friends with others?"
Heidi, seeing Nina completely unflustered, pressed on, "That’s right, that’s exactly how it is in our circle!"
Nina chuckled lightly, "Then I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed, Miss Leighton."
She looked up at Heidi and said, "My surname is Sinclair, my father is Byron Sinclair, so I’m not the woman without any identity you claim I am."
