CHAPTER 688: CHAPTER 688: SHE’S JUST JEALOUS OF MISS LEIGHTON

Mrs. Zhou’s words didn’t explicitly state anything, but subtly elevated Heidi Leighton and put Nina Sinclair down to the ground.

Quite a few ladies who had received gifts from Heidi also stepped in to support her, several voices chiming in all at once.

"Mrs. Zhou is absolutely right. It’s indeed true that marrying a good wife is of utmost importance."

"One must consider carefully!"

As they spoke, the ladies glanced in Nina Sinclair’s direction.

Nina Sinclair certainly captured everyone’s attention earlier, but Julian Lancaster hadn’t come to greet her yet, perhaps she might not be related to Julian Lancaster.

So does that mean Julian Lancaster is still single?

While excited, everyone also felt a wave of disappointment.

It’s just a pity that Heidi Leighton seems to have captured the hearts of The Lancasters; they simply have no chance.

Nina Sinclair hadn’t refuted Heidi Leighton at all earlier, just watching her performance coldly.

After watching Mrs. Zhou finish her speech, she saw Mrs. Zhou was about to wear the jewelry Heidi gifted her, and when she picked up the jewelry...

Nina Sinclair narrowed her eyes slightly and promptly said, "Mrs. Zhou, the jewelry in your hand isn’t suitable for you to wear; you will have an allergic reaction."

Mrs. Zhou’s hand, holding the jewelry, paused and she looked at Nina Sinclair with surprise.

When she saw it was Nina Sinclair speaking to her, a dismissive expression appeared in her eyes.

"What do you mean allergic? Don’t talk nonsense! Miss Leighton just mentioned it’s made of special materials, specifically for those of us allergic to metals — saying I’ll have an allergic reaction is simply a joke!"

Those around also thought Nina Sinclair was jealous of Heidi Leighton, looking for trouble.

They chimed in, "Exactly! Nina Sinclair, you aren’t jealous, are you?"

"It’s really laughable, not preparing anything herself, and now trying to cause trouble as soon as someone else gives a gift — truly narrow-minded, judging a gentleman’s heart with a petty mindset."

Sharon Lancaster naturally believed fully in Nina Sinclair.

Now that Nina Sinclair had spoken, the necklace must indeed be unsuitable for Mrs. Zhou; she kindly reminded, "Mrs. Zhou, you really shouldn’t doubt this, Nina, she’s..."

"Enough!" Mrs. Zhou impatiently interrupted Sharon, snorting coldly, "She’s simply jealous of Miss Leighton, no need for excuses. It’s rare to find jewelry I can wear, so don’t spoil the moment."

Nina Sinclair hadn’t expected Mrs. Zhou to be so stubborn; she wasn’t joking.

But genuinely trying to warn her.

Heidi Leighton may be managing Nia’s jewelry design department, but when it comes to design itself, she’s clueless, she goes with whatever the designers tell her.

She doesn’t know what her people told Heidi, but indeed the necklace she gave Mrs. Zhou would cause an allergic reaction.

At this point, the commotion had attracted the attention of the surrounding guests.

Quite a few inquired quickly, upon realizing Nina Sinclair had stopped Mrs. Zhou, a look of bewilderment appeared in their eyes.

Even they found it strange that Heidi Leighton was merely giving gifts, yet Nina Sinclair jumped in interfering.

Meanwhile, Monica Lancaster and Vincent Lancaster, upon seeing Heidi Leighton go against Nina Sinclair, smirked slightly, their eyes showing mocking expressions, quietly watching from the sidelines.

Julian Lancaster saw that Nina Sinclair was being targeted by Heidi Leighton, his brows furrowing.

He was about to step in to help, but Nina Sinclair signaled for him not to get involved.
