CHAPTER 689: CHAPTER 689: TOO STUPID TO CURE

Nina Sinclair actually thought rather simply; she had a big heart, and these people saying a few things wouldn’t affect her much, as she wouldn’t take it to heart.

On the contrary, Old Master Lancaster didn’t want her to publicly associate with Julian Lancaster. If Julian openly came over to help, Old Master Lancaster would be very angry and it wouldn’t be good for Julian then.

Moreover, she was fully capable of handling such a small matter on her own, without needing Julian’s help.

Julian’s eyes darkened slightly; he knew Nina’s capability; she wasn’t someone to be bullied.

In the end, he still stood where he was and did not intervene.

Old Master Lancaster’s sharp gaze fell on Heidi Leighton and Nina Sinclair; although he didn’t know why the two were causing a scene, if this matter wasn’t resolved now, it would be a disgrace to the Lancaster Family.

He coldly snorted in his heart: Nina Sinclair is indeed not a good woman, always causing trouble everywhere!

Fortunately, Julian hasn’t lost his mind and gone to help her. It’s just as well for her to hit the wall and lose face once, only then would Nina know to restrain herself.

The people around noticed the atmosphere was somewhat stiff and came forward to mediate and persuade Mrs. Zhou.

"Mrs. Zhou, don’t listen to Nina Sinclair’s nonsense; this necklace is so beautiful, hurry up and put it on."

Mrs. Zhou scoffed contemptuously and put on Heidi Leighton’s necklace.

After putting it on, she took out a small mirror from her bag and happily looked around at herself.

Her skin was fair, and the necklace made her neck seem slender and long.

The more Mrs. Zhou looked, the more satisfied she was; while she reached out to touch it, she continued to praise: "Look at how beautiful this necklace is, Nina Sinclair is just talking nonsense; I feel fine wearing it!"

Everyone looked over at Mrs. Zhou, and indeed, Mrs. Zhou did not show any signs of an allergic reaction while wearing the necklace.

Upon seeing this, Heidi Leighton was thoroughly relieved.

Last night, she temporarily investigated the guest list at the banquet to see if there was a point of entry. When she discovered Mrs. Zhou, a close relative of Old Madam Lancaster, she had the company’s designer expedite the making of a non-allergenic piece.

The purpose was to get close to Mrs. Zhou and successfully earn a good reputation, enabling her to rise smoothly.

Actually, when Nina Sinclair said that Mrs. Zhou might be allergic to the necklace, Heidi wasn’t entirely sure if it would happen. But since she had spoken, she had to maintain her dignity and not let people see a joke.

Now, seeing Mrs. Zhou without any anomalies, she could finally be at ease.

The people around were also quick to flatter and began praising.

"Such a beautiful necklace! Miss Leighton is so generous, coming to the birthday banquet and giving us something. Look at the luster of the jewelry on the necklace; one can tell it’s worth a lot."

"Mrs. Zhou, wearing this necklace makes you look even more stunning."

"Indeed, you know it’s hard for those allergic to metals to find suitable jewelry to wear."

"I’ve noted the Nia brand; I’ll go buy it in a few days!"

Heidi Leighton was all smiles from the compliments and gave Nina Sinclair a provocative glance.

Now that Nina Sinclair has embarrassed herself in front of Old Madam Lancaster and Mrs. Zhou, she shouldn’t have any face to stay, right?

Ha, Nina Sinclair was just doing some design work and deliberately said so, yet didn’t expect the necklace to be genuinely non-allergenic. It’s truly a case of shooting herself in the foot, utterly foolish!

Just then, suddenly someone exclaimed in surprise...
