Chapter 289: Chapter 289

Veridia Goldenleaf Private Manor.

Miss Heidi Leighton of the Leighton Family is quite a famous socialite in Veridia. This time, her gathering of friends is held at the manor, and she’s invited all the socialites from Veridia to attend.

Before Nina Sinclair and Sharon Lancaster arrived, many heiresses were already inside the manor, laughing and chatting, getting to know each other.

The most important thing in this circle is connections. Many of those present made their way in through relationships, and now is the best time to expand their networks.

Chloe Langley, using Sharon Lancaster’s invitation, was mistaken for Sharon Lancaster. Many people eagerly came over to chat with her, and she didn’t bother to explain, seamlessly enjoying the limelight under Sharon Lancaster’s name.

A crowd of heiresses surrounded Heidi Leighton. Upon learning that the Lancaster Family’s daughter had arrived, she led the group over to greet her.

Instantly, Chloe Langley was surrounded by excitement.

While basking in the feeling of being the center of attention, she secretly made a decision in her heart to strive hard to become Madam Lancaster in the future!

"Miss Lancaster, the dress you’re wearing is really beautiful. Do you know which private designer’s work it is?"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes turned to Chloe Langley.

She felt a fleeting moment of panic.

The Langley Family had spent everything they had to send her to study abroad. She had just graduated and returned to the country, with no way to afford a dress costing a seven-figure sum.

But buying knock-offs of big brands is too easily spotted.

Finally, she thought of Jenna Yancy, a renowned designer, from whom this dress was an ultra-A replica she had bought.

Anyway, Jenna Yancy has a good relationship with Sharon Lancaster, so now that she’s wearing a replica, people shouldn’t think it’s fake.

Chloe Langley, feeling slightly guilty, said, "It’s by Jenna Yancy." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

With those words, the crowd expressed their admiration.

Among the heiresses beside Jenna Yancy was Shirley Hughes. The Hughes Family’s financial situation was slightly inferior to the others present, barely qualifying as bourgeois.

Originally, she wasn’t qualified to attend such an event, but Shirley Hughes worked hard to gain entry to expand her connections and network.

Upon hearing Chloe Langley was Lancaster Family’s heiress, she wanted to curry favor with her.

Now, hearing Chloe Langley claim her clothes were designed by Jenna Yancy, Shirley hurriedly flattered her.

Shirley Hughes praised, "I heard Miss Lancaster and Jenna Yancy are close. You must be able to wear Master Yancy’s designs anytime."

"I’m so envious of Miss Lancaster’s great relationship with Designer Yancy, it must be wonderful to have a new outfit every day."

"The design, cutting, and craftsmanship of this dress are simply stunning, just perfect."

Listening to Shirley Hughes’s flattering remarks, Chloe Langley, though a bit guilty, quickly composed herself, curling her lips into a smile.

Just as she was secretly relishing her smugness, a sarcastic voice came from the side, "Oh my, Jenna Yancy’s design, how impressive!"

While everyone was happily chatting and complimenting, this discordant voice was particularly jarring. Many people turned to see who was so rude.

Sometime earlier, two women had appeared nearby.

One of them dressed extravagantly, half her delicate face obscured by an explosion of curly hair and large sunglasses. Despite being decked out in brand names, she looked like a nouveau riche.

The other one was striking.

But why was her outfit the same as the Lancaster Family’s Miss?
