CHAPTER 687: CHAPTER 687: HEIDI LEIGHTON BRIBES PEOPLE WITH GIFTS

Heidi Leighton heard everyone’s praises and revealed a satisfied smile, saying, "This is the latest design from my brand Nia that hasn’t been released yet. It’s made with a special metal that doesn’t cause allergic reactions, making it perfect for someone with a sensitive constitution like Mrs. Zhou."

Everyone exclaimed in surprise and admiration.

"Wow! Nowadays, it’s rare for jewelry designs to consider such people. I didn’t expect Miss Leighton to think of this."

"Indeed, I have a niece who’s also allergic to metals. I’ll definitely have her check out Nia’s jewelry designs."

Heidi Leighton was prepared and brought out several more boxes as everyone praised her.

"I have a few more bracelets here. You can try them on, and if they suit you, I’ll give them to you."

A gasp of astonishment erupted from the crowd, and several young ladies wore delighted expressions on their faces, eagerly taking them. Those who didn’t get them looked regretful.

However, they all felt a lot of goodwill towards Heidi Leighton, as she was willing to give away such jewelry freely, showing great generosity.

In an instant, everyone showered Heidi Leighton with compliments from head to toe once more.

Mrs. Zhou’s gaze towards Heidi Leighton softened considerably. She had vaguely heard Old Madam Lancaster mention that Old Master Lancaster wanted Julian Lancaster to have a matchmaking meeting with Heidi Leighton.

But Julian had his own ideas, so it didn’t work out. Rumor had it that he was seeing Nina Sinclair.

Now, Mrs. Zhou had a very favorable impression of Heidi Leighton, the young lady from Veridia. In contrast, Nina Sinclair hadn’t greeted her since arriving and hadn’t brought a gift for Old Madam Lancaster, which was quite rude!

Such a woman was hardly deserving of someone as outstanding as Julian Lancaster.

Mrs. Zhou glanced at Nina Sinclair and said sarcastically, "Look at how sensible and thoughtful Miss Leighton is, unlike some people who lack understanding. It’s such an important occasion as the old madam’s birthday, and they don’t even think to bring a gift."

Sharon Lancaster knew that Nina Sinclair had prepared a gift, but they had just come down and hadn’t had the chance to greet everyone.

They hadn’t even had a chance to present the gift, yet her words went too far, didn’t they?

Heidi Leighton deliberately interrupted when Nina Sinclair was about to present her gift. Who knows what her intentions were, and yet she managed to win someone’s favor with just a necklace?

No, it’s not just one person’s favor she’s won over.

Others are also beginning to view her differently. Heidi Leighton’s move is indeed clever.

Sharon Lancaster gave Heidi Leighton a displeased glance and said with a cold laugh, "Who said Nina didn’t have a gift? But I do find it rather strange; today is Grandmother’s birthday banquet, and she’s the main focus today. So why is Miss Leighton giving things to everyone around?"

Having benefited from Heidi Leighton, Mrs. Zhou naturally came to her defense immediately.

Displeased, she said, "Miss Leighton has already given a gift to the old madam before giving me this necklace. Sharon, why are you being so petty? I think Miss Leighton just wants to promote her brand."

Mrs. Zhou paused, then continued, "Miss Leighton is beautiful, and her career is going well. Whoever marries her in the future will be truly blessed."

After speaking, she cast a meaningful glance at Old Madam Lancaster and sighed, "Old Madam, we’re not outsiders here, so I must remind you. When marrying, choose a virtuous wife; a good wife will benefit future generations. Otherwise, I’m afraid the family property will be squandered!"
