Making 30
David and his wife were greeting the Chapmans in the hall of the villa.
Roger raised a glass of champagne, saying, “David, wish Christine a happy birthday!”
“Thank you! I’m glad you came.” David clinked glasses with Roger. They all took a sip of champagne.
Roger replied, “Although Christine doesn’t like Marco, my wife and I have always regarded her as our daughter. Of course, we couldn’t be absent from her birthday party.”
“Christine must be very happy to know this.” David smiled.
Rosaline took out a small black box from her handbag and opened it. There was a glossy emerald bracelet on the yellow silk cloth.
Rosaline said to Jessica, “This is a small gift I bought for Christine. Wish her a happy birthday.”
Jessica was surprised. “Rosaline, why did you buy such a precious gift for Christine?” As a rich woman, Jessica could tell at a glance whether the jewelry was expensive or not. The emerald bracelet was extremely rare and valuable.
Such a top–quality emerald bracelet was worth at least 200,000 dollars, and it was hard to get.
Rosaline smilingly answered, “Just as Roger said, we regard Christine as our daughter. Of course, we should give her something precious. What’s more, if her future husband is bad to her, we’ll welcome her into our family.”
“Rosaline, it sounds like you want Christine to have a bad married life.” Jessica took over the box smilingly.
Rosaline said, “I like Christine so much. I want her to marry into our family.”
David said with a smile, “Rosaline, don’t worry. I won’t give you this chance. If anyone dares to bully Christine, I won’t let them go.”
Roger looked around the hall on purpose, asking, “David, where is your future son–in- law, Gilmore?”
David smilingly answered, “Gilmore is just Christine’s boyfriend. He’s not my son–in-
law yet. He should be coming soon. I’ll ask him to greet you when he arrives.”
“No need. I’m just curious. I don’t want him to greet me.” Roger waved his hands.
He then whispered, “David, do you think Gilmore will come? After all, this brat is not very reliable. Maybe he won’t come to the party.”
“I told him that I’ll announce in front of all the guests that he is Christine’s boyfriend today. If he doesn’t come, he won’t be qualified to be Christine’s boyfriend,” David said seriously.
Roger laughed and deliberately raised his voice. “Really? Are you going to announce who Christine’s boyfriend is at the party later?”
What he said immediately attracted the attention of the guests around them. The guests looked at them and slowly walked over, asking David excitedly and curiously.
“Mr. Foster, who is so lucky to be Miss Foster’s boyfriend?”
“Can you announce it now?”
“Who on earth is the rich man that has won Miss Foster’s favor?”
All the guests were eager to know who Christine’s boyfriend was.
Moreover, David was going to announce it at the party. He made such a fuss that everyone realized that Christine would probably marry her boyfriend. How could the guests not be curious?
David didn’t expect Roger to say that loudly. In David’s opinion, Roger was venting his anger in a childish way.
Being surrounded by the inquisitive guests, David couldn’t hide it anymore. He looked at all the guests, replying, “Thank you for your concern. Yes, I want to introduce my daughter’s boyfriend to you at the party later. Please wait a moment.”
The guests nodded expectantly.
“Everyone, my wife and I will go and see our daughter first. Please help yourselves,” David said with a smile.
The guests responded politely, “Mr. Foster and Mrs. Foster, we’ll let you go then.”
David and Jessica nodded at the Chapmans and then went upstairs.
As soon as they left, Roger’s cell phone rang. He avoided other people and walked aside

before taking out his phone.
Someone sent him a message. He opened it. It was brief. [Mr. Chapman, it’s done. By Duncan)
After reading the message, Roger gave a sinister smile. “David, your future son–in–law is dead. I’d like to see what you’ll say later.”
In a bedroom on the second floor of the villa, Christine was adjusting her white dress in front of a big mirror. Jocelyn and another maid were fiddling with her dress.
The dress revealed her fair and delicate shoulders and showed off her slender waist. Her long legs could be seen through her thin dress. She was wearing beautiful red high This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
heels.
Standing in front of the big mirror, Christine looked as pretty as Snow White. The long white dress accentuated her perfect figure.
“Miss, you’re gorgeous!”
“You’re like a charming princess. You’ll marry a handsome prince.”
Jocelyn and another maid were fascinated by Christine. They couldn’t help praising her.
Christine smiled faintly. She had heard too many compliments about her beauty since she was a child, so she was indifferent to what they said.
They heard footsteps from outside. David and Jessica walked into their daughter’s bedroom.
Christine looked at them, calling, “Mom, Dad
David and Jessica’s eyes lit up when they saw their daughter. They couldn’t stop praising her, “Christine, you look fantastic!”
Christine smiled sweetly. “Thank you, Mom and Dad!”
David thought of something, saying, “Christine, almost all the guests are here. Call Gilmore and ask when he’ll arrive.
Christine didn’t know that Gilmore had won the bet and made David accept him as Christine’s boyfriend.
When she heard that her father asked about Gilmore, she was confused. She wondered if her parents wanted to test her true relationship with Gilmore.
She thought, “If my parents find that I don’t care if Gilmore will come to the party or not, will they try to get me and Marco together?”
Christine hastily nodded at her father. “Dad, rest assured. He’s coming. I’ll call him right away.”
She took out her phone and called Gilmore. “Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off. Please call again later…”
Christine was speechless.
She called him again but heard the same voice.
Christine’s mouth twitched, thinking, “What is Gilmore doing? The party is about to start, and he has turned off his phone. Is he trying to make a fool of me?”
