Chapter 42 The Wealthy Family Feast Has Begun

Chapter 42 The Wealthy Family Feast Has Begun

Florence's mobile phone was not in her hands at all, and she was changing clothes and putting on makeup in the room at this time.

Lincoln made several calls, but no one answered.

Onlookers were discussing and looking at Lincoln contemptuously.

Nearly all people in this circle knew that the Scott Group would go bankrupt.

Lincoln didn't have an invitation but wanted to forcibly break-in. In everyone's opinion, he just wanted to take the opportunity to search for investment. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Who wanted to invest in a small company like the Scott Group?

Lincoln lost his face completely.

The security guard sneered and said, "If you don't leave, I will drive you away; Look at where you are. Today is an important day when Mr. Cooper admits his goddaughter. If anyone dares to make trouble and offends Mr. Cooper, he will be at his own risk."

...

Florence heard that Lincoln was stopped by security; Zachary on the side sneered coldly, "He is too shameless. When we broke off the relationship, we agreed that we would never have any relationship in the future. Sis, don't let them in."

Florence's eyebrows frowned, and she didn't expect Lincoln to come.

Andrew walked in at this moment and asked Florence's opinions, "Florrie, in your opinion, how to deal with this matter?"

It was also a personal grievance between Florence and Lincoln, so Florence needed to decide.

However, What Lincoln did today is really shameful.

In the beginning, he broke off his father-daughter relationship with Florence overnight for being afraid of being implicated.

Florence thought for a moment and said lightly, "Let them come in."

"Okay." Andrew respected Florence and immediately went and asked somebody to bring Lincoln in.

He also admired Florence's actions very much. Lincoln made a noise at the door. Florence's reputation would be damaged if he was not invited in.

Florence invited Lincoln to the banquet politely, which embarrassed Lincoln only.

He broke off his relationship with Florence not long before and tried to approach Florence now. After knowing this, people would only say that Lincoln was selfish but not condemn Florence.

Zachary was unhappy, "Sis why did you let him come in."

"If I don't let him in, then I will be charged with ungratefulness today and be pricked in the backbone." Florence laughed self-mockingly, "He has figured this point before daring to come here."

"He is really insidious." Zachary was very angry, "Sis no matter what he says, you can't agree with him. I will return the money for my treatment to him when I take the bonus."

After speaking, Zachary shut up suddenly and realized that he had leaked his secret.

"What kind of bonus?" Florence asked, "Zachary, did you participate in a racing competition without telling me?"

"No." Zachary smartly said, "I designed a car for a friend, and he said that he took it for a competition, and the first place would have a prize of one million."

Florence knew that Zachary loves cars and designs car models in private.

"Didn't you lie to me?"

"Absolutely not." Zachary changed the subject, "Sis I'll go out and watch him lest he does anything else."

"Okay." Florence believed that she didn't want Lincoln to make any more trouble for the time being.

Florence lacked interest today, and she still hopes that Alexander will come on such an important day.

"Florence, Florence."

Audrey rushed in, "Congratulations, after today, you will be the goddaughter of the Cooper family, then nobody would dare to bully you anymore."

Audrey took out a gift box, "A gift for you."

Florence smiled and said, "Thank you."

"By the way, why I didn't see your boyfriend today? Has he not come yet?"

Florence's tone was disappointed, "He has gone for a long haul and can't come to the banquet."

"How could he not come on such an important day?" Audrey noticed that Florence's face was not good and said jokingly, "Maybe he is preparing a surprise for you. Important people are always the last to appear."

When Audrey said that, Florence was really looking forward to it.

The family feast was about to begin, and Audrey went to the hall first.

Florence stayed in the room alone. The family feast hadn't started yet, and she felt a little bored, so she went to the back garden for a walk.

The guests were all in the front hall where was very lively, and Florence could hear the joyful sound from the gallery in the backyard.

The closer the family feast started, the more nervous Florence became.

"Florrie, why are you still here." Brielle asked, "The banquet will begin right away; let's go, and come with me to the hall."

"Okay.""Don't be nervous; feel free." Brielle gently patted the back of Florence's hand and said, "By the way, Alexander is also here."

"Alexander?"Florence was surprised.

Why was that man here?

Brielle observed Florence's expression and smiled and said, "Such an important thing, Alexander will participate, of course."

Brielle meant that Florence was favored by Alexander, and on such an important day for Florence, he would definitely come for her.

Florence didn't understand what Brielle meant and only thought that Alexander had come here for Andrew and the Cooper family.

The Cooper family is a top-class family, one of the four prominent families in Croycor. Even if it can't stand shoulder to shoulder with the Logan family, the Cooper family has great power. The political celebrities and elites from all fields have all come. It is understandable that the Logans also came here.

Florence nodded, and Brielle was overjoyed. It seems that Alexander really values Florence....

In the front hall, the lights were dazzling, and there was the fragrance of flowers floating in the air.

The men were in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing in their red wine glasses. At the same time, the women were huddled together, smiling brilliantly, like a hundred flowers contending with each other.

There was a burst of piano sound like a stream of water, and the whole hall suddenly became quiet, and all the lights and eyes shot towards the stairs on the second floor.

Under the glittering crystal lamp, Florence who was dressed in a starry-sky trailing long skirt slowly walked down from the second floor holding Brielle's hand. Her every step was so elegant.

The radiance seemed condensed on her instantly; she stepped on the stars to come, like a goddess descending to the earth.

In front of her, the light of stars became dim; her long curly hair moved without wind as if engulfing the starlight.

Everyone at the banquet held their breath and was amazed by Florence in front of them.

After several days of speculation on the Internet, the popularity of "Andrew's Goddaughter" had attracted many people to speculate about who was the darling.

Everyone had fantasized about the appearance of this goddaughter. However, when they saw the deity with their own eyes, they were still amazed.

So beautiful.

Her every gesture was like an orchid blooming in the empty valley.

The men had forgotten the reaction, and the women were envious.

Colleen was the most jealous.

She made a great effort to beg Thomas to bring her here. She saw that the people at the banquet were fascinated by Florence; the jealousy in her heart surged like seawater.

Thomas beside her couldn't even blink his eyes.

Colleen yelled at him a few times, but there was no response, making her even angrier. Her eyes looking at Florence seemed like poison.

She thought that just let Florence have the limelight first, then Florence must be embarrassed later.

Alexander, who was in a room on the second floor, also stared at Florence.

He always knew that she was beautiful. At this moment, he couldn't wait to hide her and dig out the eyeballs of those who stared at Florence.

On the opposite side, William felt the air temperature drop suddenly and immediately knew that Alexander was jealous.

The possessiveness of men was terrible.

Andrew's eyes took everyone's reaction, he glanced at the second floor, and then said loudly on the stage, "First of all thank you and welcome everyone to the banquet."

There was a lot of applause in the hall.

Brielle took Florence onto the stage. Florence smiled and held Andrew’s hand, and Andrew looked at her lovingly. In this scene, it seemed that the three of them were really a family.

Lincoln was angry under the stage and turned his face away.

Andrew smiled and said on stage again, "This is my goddaughter, Florence. I have no daughter in my life. From today onwards, Florence will be like my biological daughter. I solemnly promise that no matter whoever Florence marries, I will take 3% of the shares in the Cooper Group as a dowry."

Three percent of the shares?

These words shocked the audience.

Three percent of the shares in the Cooper Group would be equal to at least several billion yearly.
