Chapter 423: Chapter 423
In everyone’s anticipation, Old Master Lancaster and Old Madam Lancaster walked out together. Immediately, many people stepped forward to offer polite words, wishing Old Madam Lancaster a happy birthday.
After the two elders appeared, Nina Sinclair couldn’t help but keep staring at the two.
But besides Old Madam Lancaster and Old Master Lancaster, there were no other figures.
Nina Sinclair furrowed her brows in confusion.
What’s going on? Did President Lancaster not come today?
"Nina, let’s go, we’ll head over too." Before Nina Sinclair could think more, Sharon Lancaster already took her along, and Nina Sinclair could only follow passively.
In the corner, Heidi Leighton’s parents stood together holding wine glasses, watching the lively scene in front.
Justin Leighton had also been somewhat displeased when he saw Nina Sinclair earlier, but in this kind of situation, he couldn’t say much.
Anyway, later the Lancaster Family would announce the engagement between their two families, at that time this woman wouldn’t have any impact.
Seeing Old Master Lancaster and Old Madam Lancaster come out now, he quickly winked at Heidi Leighton.
"Heidi, hurry up and give your birthday gift to Old Madam Lancaster now. While there are many people around, inviting the Thatcher Family over will make everyone look at you in higher regard. Don’t worry too much about that woman, as long as you win the favor of Elder Lancaster and Old Madam Lancaster, the Lancaster Family won’t dare oppose you."
Heidi Leighton nodded upon hearing this. She picked up the brocade box nearby, with a graceful smile on her face, walking slowly toward Old Master Lancaster and Old Madam Lancaster in her high heels.
At this moment, Old Master Lancaster and Old Madam Lancaster were surrounded by many people, presenting their birthday gifts. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet
Various precious and extraordinary birthday gifts appeared one after another, dazzling everyone’s eyes.
Old Madam Lancaster let all the gifts be received, and thanked everyone with a smile for their presents, uttering some polite words for the occasion.
"Madam." Heidi Leighton stepped forward with the brocade box, respectfully handing it over, saying, "This is a scripture for longevity that I personally copied, and it was offered at Vanyasa Temple for three days where Master Yuanhui blessed it for protection and longevity. It’s a small gift, though it may not compare to others’, I hope you won’t mind..."
Old Master Lancaster, hearing this, showed a satisfied expression. His gaze toward Heidi Leighton became more affectionate.
The Leighton family’s daughter is truly thoughtful, even personally copying the longevity scripture. Young people nowadays are often impatient, few have such patience, and it seems that Master Yuanhui is known as a famous monk in Crestfall.
Heidi Leighton is from Veridia. She sought out a master in Crestfall, certainly making such special arrangements for their sake.
It’s indeed admirable!
Old Master Lancaster turned to Old Madam Lancaster, speaking warmly: "Look how thoughtful Heidi is. I think this gift is better than all the others!"
Knowing that Old Madam Lancaster liked Nina Sinclair, Old Master Lancaster deliberately said this in her presence.
Heidi Leighton, hearing Old Master Lancaster praise her, couldn’t hide her delight, a smile barely contained at the corner of her lips, "As long as Elder Lancaster is not displeased."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Old Madam Lancaster showed a disinterested look and merely said lightly: "Heidi indeed is thoughtful."
Old Madam Lancaster’s words shifted as she reached out to gently caress the full green jade bracelet on her wrist.
Her expression changed as she continued with a smile: "Actually, I prefer the jade bracelet Nina gave me. I can wear it often, and I’ve heard jade can nourish people. My good sisters all have pretty jade bracelets. I’ve never really picked one out myself, and now Nina has given me exactly what I wanted!"
