Chapter 672
James casually sipped his wine, disdain underlying his eyes. Christopher always loved to be a smartass, but he doesn’t
understand that he can’t do things in excess. Yes, he could please Bella, but he didn’t know he had offended Dad. In the Iverson
Group, Dad still has the final say.”
Charles sneered. “Hmph, let him continue simping! He will eventually end up with nothing!”
Indeed, Lance’s expression darkened at this moment. His jaw was tense as he glanced toward Christopher.
When he saw Sophie, his eyes widened, and his mouth twitched!
The emcee pushed Christopher’s gift onto the stage with a cart, carrying with it everyone’s attention.
Celeste looked at Wyatt hesitantly. “Should we uncover it? It’s a little token from Christopher.”
Wyatt had his arm around Celeste’s thin waist as they unveiled the red cloth covering the gift.
Instantly, Wyatt’s expression changed. He raised his eyes and discreetly glanced in Christopher’s direction.
The guests also gasped in admiration when they saw the gift, almost comparable to the shock they felt when they saw the dress
Sharon designed.
Bella’s brows furrowed, feeling surprised.
She thought, ‘This is a 17th-century porcelain vase made by the Royal
Pottery. This antique could easily be treasured in the national
museum, and it would start at a minimum of $30 million at an
auction!’
Christopher presented such an extravagant gift to Celeste on her
birthday, and its value was even higher than Lance’s gift. Thus, he was embarrassing his father on purpose.
Christopher had no deep connection with Celeste. They had merely
met a few times. There was no need to go to such lengths. Instead of
being Celeste’s gift, it was more like an attempt to please Wyatt with this opportunity.
As she thought about this, Bella pursed her lips and shook her head
lightly.
When her gaze swept to the right, she was suddenly stunned. At
some point, Justin disappeared.
Bella’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately looked around
esearching for that lean and strong figure.
M’Madam Celeste.”
At At this moment, Christopher walked to the stage and bowed po
Ththen he said gently, with a humble smile, “This is a gift from m
1717th-century porcelain vase carefully crafted by the Royal Pottery
wishish long-lasting joy and laughter upon you and Chairman
Thehompson.”
Celasies we was stunned for a moment. “Thank you, Mr. Iverson. This gift
s tooqu prenious. I appreciate your thought.”
Chapter/Z
“It is indeed too precious. I would have thought it was my birthday instead!” Wyatt teased half-jokingly.
Christopher adjusted his glasses as a glint of darkness flashed
across his eyes.
“17th century!”
“This is a priceless antique!”
“Christopher never showed himself in public at the Iverson family’s
events before, but he made his first appearance tonight with such a
grand gesture. How impressive!”
“But his gift was $1 million more expensive than Chairman Iverson. Is this appropriate?”
It was not!
Lance Iverson’s face had turned green.
However, they did not know that this seemingly inappropriate gesture was actually intentional.
This was just the beginning. The Iverson family members had more
uncomfortable days to come.
At this moment, the emcee shouted, “The next gift is from Mr. Justin
Salvador, the president of the Salvador Corporation!”
