Chapter 790

Eleanor's smile froze instantly. "What did you just say?!"

Rosalind stepped forward with unwavering confidence. "With Harrison's exceptional talent and capabilities, she doesn't need to rely on anyone's name. The Lancaster family merely complements her already remarkable achievements."

Eleanor's expression darkened.

Henry spoke with firm conviction. "Harrison is now a Lancaster. Anyone who dares disrespect her will be removed from this estate immediately."

His words carried clear warning, showing no regard for their shared history.

Eleanor's fists clenched at her sides as she shot Isabella a meaningful glance.

Isabella moved toward her parents without hesitation. "It's time you made your decision."

Harrison asked calmly, "Decision? What decision?"

Isabella smirked triumphantly. "Haven't you heard? I demanded our parents choose between you and me—their real daughter."

Harrison nodded slowly. "I understand now."

Isabella's voice turned razor-sharp. "I know you've helped our parents, and they took you in out of gratitude. But blood runs thicker than water. Surely you won't make them abandon their own flesh and blood?"

Harrison looked at Henry and Isabella. Though she genuinely cared for them, she recognized the unbreakable bond between parents and their biological child.

She wouldn't force them into an impossible position.

With a gentle smile, Harrison said, "Mother, Father, I understand Isabella is your only daughter. We can cancel tonight's ceremony. It won't change how I feel about you."

Harrison's selflessness irritated Rosalind deeply. She grabbed Harrison's arm and hissed, "Why are you yielding to Isabella? She's done nothing but cause chaos while hiding behind the Lancaster name! If this continues, there's no limit to what she'll do."

Harrison gave Rosalind a reassuring glance before turning back to Henry and Isabella. "Mother, Father, I—"

Henry interrupted firmly. "No need to explain. We've already made our choice."

Isabella and Henry exchanged a meaningful look. "Yes, our decision is final."

Isabella's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Well? Who have you chosen?"

At that moment, the head butler approached. "Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster, the Celestial Diadem has arrived."

The Celestial Diadem was an exquisite masterpiece crafted from rare diamonds and precious gems, its value beyond measure—a coronet worthy of royalty.

Henry nodded. "Present it."

A security guard in black appeared, carrying an ornate velvet case containing the legendary diadem.

Gasps rippled through the crowd.

Under the dazzling chandeliers, the diadem's brilliance was breathtaking, its radiance commanding absolute attention.

"The Celestial Diadem is magnificent!"

"This is the crown Mr. Lancaster acquired at the royal auction specifically for the Lancaster heiress. Tonight it will grace its rightful owner."

"But now there are two heiresses—Ms. Whitmore and Ms. Lancaster. Who will wear the diadem?"

The guard presented the open case before Henry and Isabella.

Isabella's eyes gleamed with certainty. As the biological Lancaster heir, the diadem undoubtedly belonged to her.

Harrison could never compete with her rightful claim!
