    smartass, but he doesn’t understand that he can’t do things in excess. Yes, he could please Be, 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 nced 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 nced in Christopher’s


    direction.


    The guests also gasped in admiration when they saw the gift, almostparable to the shock they felt


    when they saw the dress Sharon designed.


    Be’s brows furrowed, feeling surprised.


    She thought, ‘This is a 17th-century porcin 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, Be pursed her lips and shook her head lightly.


    When her gaze swept to the right, she was suddenly stunned. At some point, Justin disappeared.


    Be’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 17th-century porcin vase carefully


    crafted by the Royal Pottery wishish longsting joy andughter upon you and Chairman


    Thehompson.”


    Csies we was stunned for a moment. “Thank you, Mr. Iverson. This gift s tooqu prenious. I


    appreciate your thought.”


    “It is indeed too precious. I would have thought it was my birthday instead!” Wyatt teased half-jokingly.


    Christopher adjusted his sses as a glint of darkness shed 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 ufortable days toe.


    At this moment, the emcee shouted, “The next gift is from Mr. Justin Salvador, the president of the


    Salvador Corporation!”
