Chapter 310: Chapter 310
Since the day she left Goldenleaf Manor, Nina Sinclair has been trying to find out who is the boss behind Goldenleaf Manor.
But he’s really mysterious. No matter how much she investigates, she hasn’t got a clue.
Fortunately, Julian Lancaster has not come to see her these past two days. Nina Sinclair is on edge each day, always wearing high-collared clothes to hide the marks on her body, worried that the secret will be exposed. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt
It wasn’t until the marks on her body gradually faded and became less noticeable that she finally calmed down.
Today is the third day of the deadline given by Julian Lancaster.
She was becoming more anxious, unsure of what to do, and scared that Julian Lancaster would find out about this.
The usually fearless Nina Sinclair was acting out of character, like an ostrich hiding her head in the sand.
Veridia, the Leighton Family.
Heidi’s father and mother were sitting on the sofa.
Heidi Leighton happened to come back from outside, and after seeing them, she sat down on the sofa in front of them.
"Mom, Dad, how do you two have time to drink tea here?"
Upon hearing Heidi’s words, her mother smiled mysteriously, "Heidi, you’re not so young anymore. It’s time to find a well-matched man for marriage. Your father and I are discussing your future marriage plans!"
Hearing this, Heidi Leighton showed a look of astonishment.
She quickly asked, "Find a man for me? Who did you choose?"
Heidi knew that for daughters of prestigious families like theirs, marriages were not often left to their discretion, and usually ended in alliances.
If it were before the private gathering a few days ago, she might have been very obedient to her family’s wishes, but after she met that heart-stirring man, she realized that her heart was set on him.
She was somewhat unwilling to marry someone else.
Seeing Heidi’s face full of resistance, her father said sternly, "You can be willful usually, but you must agree to this marriage. It’s very important for our Leighton Family."
Yesterday, Elder Lancaster from Crestfall unexpectedly contacted him, saying that he wanted to find a well-matched woman for Julian Lancaster to marry.
Although Crestfall is some distance from Veridia, Julian Lancaster’s business in Veridia is not to be underestimated.
Moreover, after meeting Julian Lancaster several times, he felt that this man was exceptionally outstanding in all aspects, and he feared that many heiresses would want to marry him. They must seize this opportunity!
Heidi was somewhat unwilling and said, "Dad, you’re being too absolute about this. Who is the person? Are they really as good as you say?"
Seeing Heidi’s indifference, her father’s expression turned serious as he said, "It’s the President Lancaster, Julian Lancaster, whom I often mention to you!"
Her mother echoed from the side, "Yes, Heidi, many people are waiting to marry into the Lancaster Family. If you miss this opportunity, it won’t come again!"
Upon hearing that the proposed marriage partner was Julian Lancaster, all of Heidi Leighton’s resistance vanished.
Her pupils dilated slightly, and she immediately straightened her posture.
"Mom, Dad, are you serious? Is it really President Lancaster?"
The two knew that once Heidi learned it was Julian Lancaster, she definitely wouldn’t oppose it, and they quickly said, "Of course it’s true. Elder Lancaster personally contacted us. If this works out, you’ll be the future head mistress of the Lancaster Family."
Upon hearing this, a look of eager anticipation flashed in Heidi’s eyes.
That day, even when Sharon Lancaster’s good friend was in trouble, Julian Lancaster, despite not knowing the person well, stood up for Sharon, displaying a decisive and cool charm that was deeply captivating.
She simply couldn’t refuse this request.
Heidi Leighton said, "I agree!"
