Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 370

Lucinda carried herself with confidence and grace, allowing Jason to appraise her without hesitation.

Jason silently nodded in admiration. Despite her upbringing in a modest household, Lucinda was naturally refined. She was flawless in every aspect and was undeniably a perfect match for Mr. Coleman. She was a woman of great fortune.

Despite experiencing a tragedy at the tender age of six months, she managed to turn her misfortune into good fortune. Before she returned to her biological parents, she, as a girl from a humble family, had already stolen Mr. Coleman's heart. It was said that Mr. Coleman patiently awaited her growth, eagerly anticipating the day when he could marry her. He waited an astonishing eleven years.

Jason also held deep admiration for the Anderson family. People from the Anderson family had welcomed Lucinda as their family member, even when she was still a girl from a modest background. This degree of freedom given to their descendants in selecting a partner was not something commonly found in every affluent family, let alone prominent ones.

Even in ordinary families, if one side had slightly better conditions while the other was less fortunate, the parents of the wealthier side would often disapprove of the marriage.

No wonder the Anderson family has been able to stand strong and continue to prosper in Pinehurst, with their descendants growing in number and each one of them exceptionally talented. They all couldn't help but envy Patrick.

"I have heard about Mrs. Coleman's reputation for a long time. And tonight, meeting you in person, it's clear that the reputation is well-deserved."

Having finished examining Lucinda, Jason extended his right hand for a handshake.

Lucinda shook his hand politely, then greeted the other members of the Barlow family.

"Mr. and Mrs. Coleman, please come in."

Jason invited the couple inside.

The one from The Barlow family, who was the next in line to be the lady of the house, accompanied Lucinda. Though this was their first meeting, given Lucinda's status, she quickly warmed up to her, warmly took Lucinda's arm, and began walking inside, chatting along the way.
