Chapter 177 Wedding Preparation
Christopher wore a casual, loose-fitting white suit. He had a black undershirt without a tie. Two buttons on his shirt
collar were unbuttoned, slightly revealing his collarbone.
He was tall, lean, and slender. His outfit perfectly accentuated his figure and showcased his unruly temperament
Christopher glanced 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 a large 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 the large 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 congratulated 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 Juxshire later.
After Christopher introduced himself, he paused for a while and then continued, “Ken, Joyce, Layla, 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 but laugh when they saw Christopher’s cheeky look.
Christopher withdrew his gaze and continued, “Joyce and Ken gave Dad a painting he likes. Layla and Jared gave

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 place not far from the stage, and someone stood in the light.
The large 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
placed 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 exclaimed 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 Solace family for an explanation. 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 glanced 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 Solace 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.
After coming 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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsee all of you at the wedding.”
What Winnie said was an acknowledgment of Yuliana to become her daughter-in-law.
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 into laughter.
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 Solace family had congratulated Zachary on his birthday, the banquet began.
Zachary and Winnie specially arranged two seats at the table for Christopher and Yuliana. Kendrick, Joyce, Layla,
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 relatives of the Solace and Fuller families.
There were many relatives in the Solace family, and they were seated at more than dozens of tables.
On the other side, there weren’t many relatives in the Fuller family. Christopher had only one uncle, and there was
only one cousin in the uncle’s family. Others were the distant relatives he wasn’t close with.
