Chapter 31

Seeing that Christine hung up the phone without saying anything, David couldn’t help asking. “What’s wrong? Can’t you get through to him?”

Christine could only nod. “No. His phone is turned off.”

David and Jessica looked surprised.

David remembered that Roger said in the hall that Gilmore was unreliable and might not come to the party. David wondered, “Will what Roger said come true?”

Christine suddenly thought of Gerald, who was protecting Gilmore.

Gerald was staying with Gilmore. Since Gilmore’s phone was turned off, she could call Gerald. Anyway, she had to let Gilmore appear at the birthday party.

Thinking of this, Christine immediately picked up her phone and called Gerald. However, she soon heard a familiar voice on the phone. “Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off…

Christine was shocked, thinking, “Gilmore’s phone is turned off. Why is Gerald’s phone also turned off?”

“You can’t get through to Gerald either, right?” David asked before Christine could speak.

Christine nodded.

“It seems that something must have happened to them. I’ll send someone to the Palazzo to check it out,” David said with a frown.

He took out his phone and made a call. “Ask someone to go to the No.1 villa of the Palazzo and see if anything is wrong with Gerald and Gilmore.

“Yes, Mr. Foster, someone answered respectfully on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, David said, “Christine, the guests are waiting on the first floor. Let’s go down!”

Christine nodded.

Unable to get through to Gilmore and Gerald, Christine was worried about them.

Though anxious, Christine still followed her parents out of the bedroom to the hall on the first floor.

“Mr. Foster, Mrs. Foster, and Miss Foster have come down!”

“Miss Foster is so beautiful in her white dress.”

“Miss Foster, you look like a goddess! You deserve to be the prettiest girl at Oakhaven University

Looking at Christine going down the stairs with her parents, the guests were full of praise.

Marco was stunned to see Christine, who was wearing a white dress and became the focus of everyone’s attention.

Roger stood next to Marco. Noticing that his son was completely fascinated by Christine, Roger whispered in his ear, “Marco, don’t worry, Christine will be your woman. Gilmore will never get her.

Marco looked at his father, thinking. “Dad must have had a secret plan. Otherwise, why is he so confident?”

Yet there were many people around them. Naturally, he couldn’t ask his father about that here.

After David, his wife, and their daughter went downstairs, they chatted with the guests.

They met the Chapmans again.

Roger pulled David aside and murmured, “David, Gilmore doesn’t seem to be here yet. What will you say later?”

Roger smiled at David, continuing, “I have an idea. Why don’t you announce that Marco is Christine’s boyfriend? This is also

the result that our two families want.”

Seeing the hidden smile in Roger’s eyes, David remembered something. He looked at Roger, asking. “Gilmore hasn’t shown up yet. Did you do something to him?”

“No. I did nothing. Don’t talk nonsense.” Roger denied it.

David didn’t believe it. He felt guilty, thinking, “Why wasn’t I aware that the Chapmans would harm Gilmore?”

That was because the Chapmans were close to the Foster family. Moreover, with Roger’s status, he shouldn’t have hurt Gilmore. In addition, Gilmore was protected by Gerald, so David had believed that Gilmore was safe.

Despite his status and relationship with the Foster family, Roger schemed against Gilmore. David was astonished.

David glanced at Roger with dissatisfaction and left.

David no longer took Roger as his friend, even though they had known each other for many years. Roger was so despicable.

Watching David leave unhappily, Roger smiled, thinking, “No matter how upset you are, I won’t let Gilmore appear at the party. Your wealth and daughter will all belong to my family.”

David, Jessica, and Christine walked to the end of the hall, where there was a temporary small round stage.

David stepped onto the stage, took the microphone from the servant, and said to all the guests, “Ladies and gentlemen, today is my daughter’s 20th birthday. Thank you for taking the time to attend the party. Allow me to propose a toast on behalf of my daughter!”

David took a glass of wine from the maid and raised it. The guests also raised their glasses.

“Cheers!”

“Cheers!”

After that, the birthday song rang out in the hall.

A middle-aged man wearing a tall chef’s hat pushed a big and high cake slowly towards the stage. The cake on the trolley was 40 inches high, covered with cream, chocolate, and fruit.

The cake was pushed to the center of the stage. Then they put candles on it. Christine made a wish and blew out the candles. Everyone applauded.

Christine cut the large cake into pieces. The servants soon distributed all of them to the guests.

Of course, the guests who were eating the cake didn’t forget what David had said before.

They asked. “Mr. Foster, please tell us who Miss Foster’s boyfriend is.”

“Yes. We can’t wait!”

“Who on earth is Miss Foster’s boyfriend?”

自零+73%,

Christine, who was tasting the cake on the stage, was stunned. She wondered, “What do they mean? Is Dad going to announce who my boyfriend is?”

Christine suddenly panicked, thinking. I’m toast. Gilmore didn’t come, so Dad wants me to be with Marco. He’s going to announce that Marco is my boyfriend.”

Yet Christine had made up her mind. As long as her father announced that Marco was her boyfriend, she would deny it. Even if her parents would scold her, she would never let Marco be her boyfriend.

However, David picked up the microphone and said to the guests. “Sorry, I wanted to introduce my daughter’s boyfriend to you, but unfortunately, he hasn’t come to the party yet because of some things, so…”

The next moment, a clear voice came from the door. “Sorry, I’m late.

Everyone turned to look at the door.
