<h4>Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Expelled from the Family Genealogy</h4>
Sharon Lancaster’s words were like a bomb, echoing throughout the banquet hall, leaving everyone stunned.
After a while, scattered voices finally emerged.
"What? The Thatcher Family Head wasn’t invited by Heidi Leighton??"
"Of course not! Didn’t you hear the Thatcher Family Head say himself that it was Nina Sinir who invited him!"
"Oh my God, then... then what was Heidi Leighton doing going over there?"
At this moment, the youngdies who had been deceived by Heidi Leighton and Jessica Thatcher realized they’d been tricked.
They angrily stared at Heidi Leighton, shouting, "Heidi Leighton, why did you lie to us?"
"Exactly, where did that woman go? I remember her name was something like Jessica?"
"Yeah, where did that woman go?"
Confronted by the questioning of several youngdies, Heidi Leighton’s face turned pale again and again.
She took a deep breath and clenched her fists, barely regaining herposure as she awkwardly asked Joel Thatcher, "Family Head Thatcher, did you make a mistake? Wasn’t it Jessica who invited you?"
Now all her hopesy in Joel Thatcher having mistaken someone else and having no connection to Nina Sinir.
Yet the recent matter of the Jade Bracelet made her feel an ominous premonition in her heart.
Heidi Leighton eagerly awaited Joel Thatcher’s answer.
Upon hearing the name Jessica, Joel Thatcher frowned tightly and then showed a look of disgust.
He coldly stated, "The person you speak of has been expelled from the family records for doing harm to our family; in the future, if we meet again, whatever she does is unrted to the Thatcher Family!"
With these words said, everyone began to look at each other in astonishment.
"This blunder is quite shocking. We thought it was just a mistaken identity, but who knew that person from the Thatcher Family has been disowned."
"Luckily, the Thatcher Family Head came, or we might have all been deceived."
"Speaking of which, wasn’t Heidi Leighton the one who brought her here and kept promoting her as part of the Thatcher Family? The fact that Heidi Leighton is a good sister with someone who has been expelled from the family records is worth pondering."
...
Murmurs continued to reach her ears, and Heidi Leighton froze in ce.
She never imagined Jessica would be in such a situation — expelled from the family records?
What about all those promises Jessica made to her...
Heidi Leighton btedly realized she had also been yed by Jessica!
She indeed was from the Thatcher Family, but had no real ability to heal anyone, and Joel Thatcher wasn’t invited by Jessica but by Nina Sinir!
Recalling her shameful disy in front of everyone just now, Heidi Leighton felt as if her blood had frozen.
Her hand at her side dug deeply into her palm, and her twisted expression was impossible to hide.
Justin Leighton, being Heidi Leighton’s father, naturally felt humiliated along with her, especially since he had boasted a few words just now.
Still, the current situation must be glossed over.
No matter how embarrassing, they had to swallow their pride and endure the humiliation.
Justin Leighton thickened his skin and smiled, chiding Heidi Leighton in a parental tone, "Heidi! Did you get deceived by Jessica? You’re still young and inexperienced, you need to be more discerning about people’s true nature, and pay more attention in the future — Elder Lancaster was almost implicated by you!"
Heidi Leighton could only nod awkwardly and softly agree.
Old Master Lancaster’s face darkened; he hadn’t expected such a big embarrassment.
He had just said he would consult Heidi Leighton’s doctor, not Nina Sinir’s, which would have made him look foolish too.
Thinking of this matter, his face grew long with obvious displeasure, but he couldn’t pursue anything further, simply harboring a stomach full of anger.
Justin Leighton and Heidi Leighton dared note forward again, retreating quietly to the side in an attempt to reduce their presence.
