In the evening, in the living room of the Fosters‘ villa, Jessica said angrily to Christine, who was sitting on the sofa, “Christine, how can you do this? How can you give important invitation to an irrelevant person so casually?”
Rosaline from the Chapmans had already phoned Jessica and told her that Christine had given the invitation to Gilmore today.
Jessica got angry when she learned that Christine but gave it to Gilmore, who came from nowhere.
did not give the invitation to Marco,
Christine said seriously, “Gilmore is my boyfriend, and he is the most important person to me. Why can’t I give him the invitation?”
Jessica retorted strongly, “I don’t agree. I will never let you date a poor boy that we know nothing about.”
Christine stood up from the sofa, looked at her mother, and said, “You can oppose my relationship with Gilmore, but don’t expect me to be with Marco instead.”
With that, Christine strode upstairs.
“You…” Jessica watched Christine disappear upstairs and was too angry to speak.
Sitting on the sofa, David, who had kept silent during the confrontation between the mother and daughter, persuaded his wife in a low voice, “Jessica, look at you. You’re arguing with our daughter
again.”
Jessica ignored David and said, “Now, our daughter is going to be with a poor boy. Marco is good at everything. Why doesn’t she like him? How can I not be angry?”
David reached out his hand to pat his wife’s back considerately, saying, “Well, don’t be angry. We might have rushed for Christine and Marco. As for Gilmore, I think Christine is only using him to avoid being with Marco.”
“Using him? What do you mean?” Jessica frowned slightly and looked at her husband in confusion.
David said, “Didn’t Rosaline say that today, Christine gave Gilmore the invitation where Marco played basketball deliberately?
“She is obviously using Gilmore to avoid Marco, whom we have chosen for her. She is just angry and found a boy to lie to us and say that he is her boyfriend deliberately.”

Chapter 20
As Evergreen Group’s chairman, David dealt with various crises easily in the business world. Naturally, he was very knowledgeable and experienced.
If he couldn’t see through Christine’s little trick, then how could he be qualified for leading a giant company?
Hearing David’s words, Jessica suddenly realized that her daughter had found a fake boyfriend to fool her in order not to be with Marco.
Seeing that her husband could see through her daughter’s mind, Jessica could not help asking him for advice, “Then, what do we do now?” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
David said, “First of all, Gilmore must not come to the birthday party. Otherwise, we and the Chapmans will both be embarrassed. Moreover, the guests there are all icons in the business world. If this matter is spread out, it will definitely be widely discussed.
“Secondly, do not push Christine too hard with regard to her relationship with Marco. Put it off for now. Otherwise, if you push her too hard, she will do something even riskier.”
Jessica nodded her head slightly, thinking that her husband’s words made a lot of sense.
“David, do you have any way to stop Gilmore from attending Christine’s birthday party?”
David pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll visit Gilmore in the next two days.”
In the bedroom of the villa, Christine was sulking. Her curvaceous body lay on the mattress, looking sexy.
She did not understand why her mother would only talk to her about Marco all day long.
It was as though there was only Marco in this world.
What was so good about this Marco?
He was cold all day long.
She and he had nothing in common.
She didn’t feel anything when she was with him.
Apart from the fact that he came from a rich and powerful family, Christine really couldn’t find anything aboul Marco that made him suitable for her.

Anyway, even if there was only Marco left in this world, Christine wouldn’t marry him.
Just as Christine swore angrily in her heart, someone knocked on the door. “Christine, I am Jocelyn. Your mom washed fresh strawberries and asked me to take them to you.”
Christine replied directly, “Nope, take it away!
However, not only did the person outside not leave, but she instead opened the door and walked in.
It was a 30–year–old woman with a smile on her face and a plate of strawberries in her hands-
Jocelyn put a plate of strawberries on the table and said, “Christine, these are your favorite. Have a taste.”
Christine did not move. She looked at Jocelyn and said, “Jocelyn, isn’t my mother angry with me? Did she really ask you to bring the strawberries here?”
Jocelyn said very seriously, “Yes, your mom asked me to bring them up even washed the strawberries herself.
for
you. She
“She also said that she shouldn’t force you too much and won’t force you to be with Mr. Chapman again in the future. She is just worried that you would be deceived if you find a boyfriend at random.”
Hearing this, Christine was overjoyed. “Is my mother really not going to force me to be with Marco anymore?”
In other words, giving Gilmore the invitation had worked perfectly.
She could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
As for her mother being worried that Gilmore was lying to her, how was that possible?
She had signed a contract with Gilmore.
Once she confirmed that her mother would no longer force her to be with Marco, she would terminate the contract with Gilmore.
“Jocelyn, give me a strawberry.” Christine was in a good mood and had an appetite for strawberries immediately.
Jocelyn smiled. “Miss Foster, are you not angry anymore?”
Christine muttered, “Jocelyn, why are you talking so much? You’re just like my mother.
Chapter 201
Jocelyn had been working for the Fosters for more than 10 years. The family members. all treat her as one of their own.
This was also why Christine’s mother asked Jocelyn to tell Christine that she would not force her to be with Marco anymore.
Jocelyn had no choice but to say with a smile, “Alright. I talk too much. Come on, have a strawberry.”
As she spoke, Jocelyn took a strawberry from the plate and put it into Christine’s
mouth.
Christine opened her mouth and ate the strawberry.
It was so delicious.
Two days later, at night.
Under the protection of two black SUVs, a Rolls–Royce came to Villa–1 of the Palazzo.
More than a dozen strong and powerful bodyguards got out of the two SUVS.
A bodyguard opened the door of the Rolls–Royce’s back seat and David, who was in a suit, got out of the car.
Then, under the protection of his bodyguards, David walked to Gilmore and Gerald, who were standing in front of the villa.
Standing in front of the villa, Gerald greeted David immediately, “Good evening, Mr.
Foster!”
Gilmore, who wa
Mr. Foster!”

This time, Christine’s father, chairman of Evergreen Group, wanted to see Gilmore. Gerald had received a notice from David in advance and told Gilmore about it.
Therefore, Gilmore was not too surprised by David’s visit.
David looked at Gilmore and said, “You must be Gilmore, right?”
Gilmore nodded. “Yes, I am Gilmore.”
Then, Gilmore gestured towards the villa and said, “Mr. Foster, this way please!”
David nodded, then looked at Gerald and the other bodyguards and said, “Wait outside.”

He wanted to talk to Gilmore alone and did not want too many people to follow him in.
Gerald and the other bodyguards answered, “Yes, Mr. Foster.”
David and Gilmore entered the villa.
Gerald went forward and closed the door of the villa gently.
In the spacious living room of the villa, David and Gilmore sat down on two luxurious leather sofas.
The two looked at each other and Gilmore smiled. “Mr. Foster, what tea do you like? I’ll pour you a drink.”
A faint smile appeared on David’s face as he said, “Earl Grey.”
“Okay, I will get you some Earl Grey right now.” Gilmore took out a tea pot and began to make tea.
