Chapter 11 Birthday Gift
"Glad to see you back!"
Seeing Ava, Sophia calmed down gradually.
She told Ava with a gloomy expression, "Mr. Davis will come later. Have a good talk with him. You are a grown-up and cannot be willful anymore!"
Ava pursed her lips. She didn't want to talk about it.
Ava turned around and gave Henry a hug.
"Daddy, how have you been recently?"
Henry had been in poor health all these years.
And he handed over most jobs about the hotel to Sophia.
Ava felt distressed at the aging Henry.
Henry was half-bowed.
His fatigue made a sharp contrast against Sophia's vitality.
Henry smiled kindly and nodded, "Don't worry, I am healthy enough to personally see you get married!"
Others were amused by his humorous words and the air turned harmonious.
Suddenly, the laughter stopped.
All eyes fell on Gabriel.
The man looked like an unwelcome visitor.
"What the hell are you seeing? Are you b*stards attracted by such a handsome guy like me?"
Gabriel was uncomfortable and cursed in his heart.
He felt that all the people in the hall were unpleasant.
Ava bit her lip. Suddenly, she stepped back.
She took Gabriel's hand and came to Sophia and Henry.
Ava got up her courage and said, "Mom and Dad, let me introduce my boyfriend, Gabriel!"
"Boyfriend?"
Everyone was in an uproar by Ava’s words.
Didn't the Foster family and the Davis family make a marriage contract?
Ava had been known as James' girlfriend!
Why did she officially claim the strange man was her boyfriend today?
Guests were confused.
The air was awkward!
The Fosters were all startled.
They stood there at a loss.
Sophia’s face even turned dark.
"Are you insane, crazy girl? What nonsense are you talking about?"
In Sophia’s opinion, it was improper for Ava to introduce her new boyfriend publicly.
Such behavior was a disgrace to the Foster family and made all the Fosters embarrassed.
Mia, who kept cold, was also surprised.
She never expected Ava's boyfriend to be Gabriel.
Mia came to visit Ava every now and then.
And every Friday, Mia would come to treat Gabriel.
However, Mia had no idea about Ava and Gabriel’s romantic relationship.
It was unbelievable.
"I'm serious!" Holding Gabriel's hand, Ava got the courage to fight against everything, "This is my boyfriend. As for Fatty Davis... James, that is the Foster family’s marriage engagement, not mine!"
Since the matter had developed to this stage, Ava was throwing caution to the wind.
It decided whether she could get rid of Fatty Davis or not!
"You..."
Sophia was furious.
She never imagined that Ava would take a boyfriend to embarrass her on her birthday.
Sophia lost her face in public.
And she didn’t know how to explain to the Davis family if they came to celebrate her birthday after a while.
"Mom, don't be angry! Look, this is a birthday present from Gabriel!"
Ava took a box from Gabriel and opened it.
There was a beautiful sapphire necklace in it.
Ava handed over the necklace carefully, "This is a birthday present from Gabriel. He carefully selected it for you. We really love each other. Please give us your wish!"
"Take it away!"
Sophia waved her right hand in rage.
The box was knocked over and the necklace fell to the ground.
Ava stumbled backward.
The air was getting depressing.
The hall gradually calmed down.
Guests didn’t know what to say out of the awkward situation.
Surely, the Foster family was making a big fool of itself.
And the so-called Ava’s boyfriend was bound to get revenge from the Davis family.
In Silverwood, the Davis family was the king.
Anyone who dared to seduce Mr. Davis’ fiancee was dicing with death.
Gabriel stepped forward and held Ava.
He said in a sullen tone, "I told you, this necklace is useless. Now you see it."
Ava nestled in Gabriel's arms and cried wrongly, "How could you jeer at me at such a hopeless moment?"
Ava felt desperate. She underestimated Sophia's determination.
Seemingly, it didn’t work to find a boyfriend to fool around.
Sophia snorted and said sarcastically, "You are Gabriel, right? I don't know what ecstasy you used, but it's impossible for you to get my daughter! Ava can't be got by a nobody. You don't deserve her."
In Sophia’s eyes, Gabriel was definitely a gigolo.
He seduced Ava with his handsome features.
Or maybe he coveted the Foster family’s wealth.
Sophia would frustrate Gabriel’s plot.
Martin was Lucas' son and James’ friend.
He warned Gabriel arrogantly, "Guy, you'd better get out of here sensibly! Ava has already engaged with James, a Davis. You can't afford to get involved. It's not too late to get out. If Mr. Davis comes, you can't leave anymore!"
Gabriel became the target of public criticism.
He narrowed his eyes and turned gloomy unpleasantly.
Sophia and the unknown man’s words made Gabriel angry.
Considering Ava, Gabriel suppressed his impulse to hit them.
Today, his task was to help Ava get rid of James.
Gabriel didn't argue with them for the time being.
"Leave now, this time, I don't blame you!"
Ava wiped her tears with one hand and said in despair.
Under all kinds of pressure, she resigned.
It was not until this moment that she found out her willingness couldn't compete with family interests at all.
Maybe she was just a bargaining chip for Sophia.
It didn't matter for Ava, anyway. She had already given her chastity to the one she wanted.
Even if she had to have sex with Fatty Davis, Ava would not be so desperate.
"You'll compromise at the first round? Your man hasn't taken action yet."
Gabriel was finally going to make a move as Ava’s boyfriend.
He took Ava by the hand and walked a few steps, "Mrs. Foster, there is no need to be angry at your birthday party. Let me introduce myself."
"I am Gabriel, the name of the Archangel."
"I'm not a nobody, but the son of Mr. Edwards, a minister of Apex Bank headquarters."
The hall was once again in an uproar by his words.
Originally, they thought that Gabriel was just a gigolo.
Unexpectedly, Gabriel was someone.
Apex Bank was one of the three private banks of Dragon Kingdom.
It was a powerful bank.
If so, Gabriel was not inferior to James in his identity.
Mia stood by with a cold expression.
She knew Gabriel was bragging, but didn't expose him.
"Mr. Edwards' son?"
Sophia, who was gloomy, smiled awkwardly and was even more surprised.
She didn’t know who Mr. Edwards was, but a minister of Apex Bank headquarters was a high rank.
A few days ago, Apex Bank intended to invest in two five-star hotels in Silverwood.
The budget of the project was one billion.
And, it was seeking the cooperation of enterprises with hotel management experience.
The profitable project was consistent with the Foster family business.
So the Foster family held cooperation talks with the Bank.
As much as after many efforts, Mr. Leon of the Head Office of Silverwood did not agree to it.
Until now, the Foster family was still striving for the business.
Thinking about these things, Sophia softened her tone, "Mr. Gabriel, please forgive me. I lost my temper because you and Ava’s affair is really embarrassing for us. You see, the Foster family and the Davis family have made an engagement."
Even if Gabriel was a big shot, Sophia dared not break the engagement and offend the Davis family.
The Foster family couldn't afford the consequences.
"Why do you care about the tiny Davis family? Besides, the Fatty Davis is a scum. Do you want to send your daughter to hell? I can afford what the Davis family promised."
Gabriel said overbearingly and handed the file over.
He continued with a sullen face, "There is a contract signed by Apex Bank, and the ten-billion-worth business of the two five-star hotels is given to your family."
"The necklace is a birthday present from Ava, and this contract is my present for you!"
"As long as the Foster family signs it, the business will be yours!"
"Are you satisfied with such a birthday present, Mrs. Foster?"
