Chapter 177


    Chapter 177 Wedding Preparation


    Christopher wore a casual, loose-fitting white suit. He had a ck undershirt without a tie. Two buttons


    on his shirt cor were unbuttoned, slightly revealing his corbone.


    He was tall, lean, and slender. His outfit perfectly entuated his figure and showcased his unruly


    temperament


    Christopher nced below the stage, raised the microphone to a position about ten centimeters away


    from his lips, and said with a smile. “Hello, everyone I’m Christopher.”


    There was arge screen in the banquet hall.


    The Ziegler family was seated a little far away from the stage. They couldn’t see Christopher clearly on


    the stage, so they could only watch it from therge screen.


    At that moment, Margaret was obsessed with the man on the screen, and she felt her heart race as she


    looked at him on the screen.


    Her mother, Quincy, had found out about the banquet procedure. Christopher would make an important


    announcement when he congratted Zachary on his birthday.


    It was obvious that it must be the announcement of his engagement.


    Or, maybe he would directly announce his marriage.


    Margaret couldn’t help but fantasize about the scene when she walked on stage gracefully and stood


    beside Christopher in front of the nobles of Juxshireter.


    After Christopher introduced himself, he paused for a while and then continued, “Ken, Joyce, La,


    and Jared have given their beautiful wishes just now, so I’ll keep it simple now. Happy birthday, Dad,


    and I wish you good health. Stay in love with Mom for another hundred years!”


    Then he looked at the table where Zachary and Winnie were and nodded at them.


    Zachary and Winnie couldn’t help butugh when they saw Christopher’s cheeky look.


    Christopher withdrew his gaze and continued, “Joyce and Ken gave Dad a painting he likes. La and


    Jared gave Dad fishing tools because he likes fishing. I also prepared a special gift!”


    After saying that, he snapped his fingers, and the light in the banquet hall instantly darkened.


    All the guest’s attention was immediately drawn to the sight.


    A beam of light shone at a ce not far from the stage, and someone stood in the light.


    Therge screen of the banquet hall immediately cut the scene to where the light was shone.


    It was a woman in a long white dress with an elegant temperament. She was slowly walking toward the


    stage


    Christopher strode off the stage and reached out his hand to the woman. The woman looked up at him,


    smiled, and ced her hand on his palm.


    When the camera pulled closer, the scene on the screen also zoomed in, and the woman’s face


    appeared clearly on the screen.


    Instantaneously, a series of whispers resounded in the crowd.


    When Margaret saw Yuliana’s face, she was stunned Waylon and Quincy were also caught off guard.


    “How could it be Yuliana” they eximed simultaneously in their heart.


    Looking at the scene on the screen where Christopher took Yuliana to the stage, Margaret was deeply


    hurt, and her anger and hatred reached the limit.


    She rushed forward recklessly. However, Quincy grabbed her


    “Mom!”


    Her eyes were reddened and brimmed with tears as hatred filled her eyes.


    Quincy was furious. She wanted to ask the Sce family for an exnation. However, the whole


    banquet hall was full of nobles of Juxshire, and they would only make a joke out of themselves if they


    rushed on the stage


    ΠΟΥ


    Margaret, calm down!” Quincy warned.


    With a gloomy face, Waylon held back the urge to lift the table. He nced at Margaret coldly and said,


    “Listen to your Mom. Sit down!”


    Margaret snorted heavily, sat down, and looked at the screen again with even more hatred in her eyes.


    Not only that Waylon felt sorry for his daughter, but he was also embarrassed by the Sce family in


    front of so many people. Of course, he wouldn’t let it go easily.


    He said to Margaret, “Marge, don’t worry. I’ll get justice for you!”


    Meanwhile, Christopher and Yuliana had walked to the stage.


    There were a lot of people below the stage. Even though Yuliana had prepared herself in advance, she


    still felt slightly nervous.


    Christopher held Yuliana’s hand tightly and turned in the direction of Zachary and Winnie. He held his


    usual brazen self back and said solemnly, “Ms. Livingstone, who’s beside me, is the special gift that


    I’ve prepared. Dad and Mom, do you like my gift?”


    Winnie stood up from the chair. Zachary, next to her, hurriedly got up and held her. They left the table


    and walked toward the stage.


    Christopher and Yuliana hurriedly went up to them.


    Aftering on stage, the host handed over another microphone. Zachary took it. He didn’t speak but


    handed it to Winnie.

    Yuliana stood next to Winnie and held her arm.


    Winnie looked at Yuliana lovingly and said with a smile, “I’ve lived to this age, and I don’t have anything


    to worry about now. The only person that I can’t let go of is Christopher. As parents, we hope to see our


    children starting a family soon. Now that Christopher has settled down, I feel relieved. What more can I


    ask for?” After saying that, Winnie took off the emerald bracelet on her wrist, took Yuliana’s hand, and


    put it on her. After putting it on Yuliana’s wrist, Winnie held Yuliana’s hand and said to the audience, “In


    fact, we’ve met Yuliana before today, and we’re preparing for their wedding. We’ll share the good news


    with everyone when everything is ready, and we hope to see all of you at the wedding.”


    What Winnie said was an acknowledgment of Yuliana to be her daughter-inw.


    Hearing this, Yuliana was stunned for a moment. She looked at Christopher from afar. Christopher also


    looked at her, smiling and raising his eyebrows.


    The scene on the screen cut to the moment where their eyes met and even caught their minor


    expression, making the audience burst intoughter.


    Then, the screen cut to their hands, and the matching ring on their fingers was eye-catching.


    Everyone at the Ziegler family’s table darkened their expression.


    The guests seated around them knew the Ziegler family. They had long heard of the rumor that


    Margaret wanted to marry Christopher. And now, Quincy and Margaret’s reaction confirmed the rumor.


    No one had expected that Christopher was going to marry someone else.


    Besides, some people present had met Yuliana before, and some that were close to the Ziegler family


    knew Yuliana and Harry used to be husband and wife.


    Quincy’s arrogant and smug look earlier had offended many people. Hence, they were pleased to see


    that Christopher would rather marry a divorcee than Margaret from the Ziegler family


    After the three siblings of the Sce family had congratted Zachary on his birthday, the banquet


    began.


    Zachary and Winnie specially arranged two seats at the table for Christopher and Yuliana. Kendrick,


    Joyce, La, Jared, Alexzander, and Zofia were also seated at the table.


    After the banquet began, Yuliana and Christopher ate and chatted with them for a while before he took


    her to greet the rtives of the Sce and Fuller families.


    There were many rtives in the Sce family, and they were seated at more than dozens of tables.


    On the other side, there weren’t many rtives in the Fuller family. Christopher had only one uncle, and


    there was only one cousin in the uncle’s family. Others were the distant rtives he wasn’t close with.
