The Chapmans‘ Residence was large and brightly lit. Like the Fosters‘ manor, there were also many houses, which looked magnificent.
In the luxurious living room of one of the houses, a man hung up the phone. He was almost fifty, paunchy, and wearing a golden nightgown.
He placed his phone on the table and smiled. “What a surprise! Christine is finally ready to accept Marco.”
He was Roger Chapman, head of the Chapmans and Chairman of Realm Group, which was a giant in Oakhaven.
He was with Marco and a middle–aged woman who was also wearing a golden nightgown.
The woman was Roger’s wife, Rosaline Chapman.
There was a mask on Rosaline’s face. She asked her husband, “What did you say? Christine is finally ready to accept Marco?”
Marco, who had been looking at his phone on the sofa with a cold face, looked up at his father.
Roger nodded with a smile, “That’s right. It was Christine’s mother who called. She said she had given the last invitation to Christine and asked her to invite Marco to her 20th birthday party.”
“Really?” Rosaline was so happy that she took the mask off her face immediately. She stared at her husband and asked, “Is it true that Christine will invite Marco in person?”
Roger chuckled and replied, “If you don’t believe me, you can call and ask Jessica now.”
Rosaline laughed and said, “Of course, I believe you. Looks like the plan we made with Jessica worked”
“That’s right. You and I received the invitations but Marco didn’t. Now Christine has the last invitation. She’ll surely give it to him: Roger also felt that the plan was flawless
However, Marco, who was sitting on the sofa, disagreed and said, “If Christine doesn’t give me the invitation, I won’t be able to even attend her birthday party, will I?”
Roger laughed and replied, Marco, I’m sure Mr. and Mrs. Foster have hinted to Christine that she should give the invitation to you. She won’t embarrass us.”
Both the Fosters and the Chapmans were wealthy families in Oakhaven. They were involved in a lot of business.
Also, the members of the two families had been friends, which was why Roger believe that Christine, who was from such a big family, wouldn’t embarrass the two famílies.
“Marco, your dad is right. You must take your chance when Christine invites you tomorrow, Rosaline reminded her son as well.
Marco still looked cold when he grunted.
However, he couldn’t help but say mockingly to himself, “Take my chance?”
He had been taking every chance.
So that he could get close to Christine.
So that he could win Christine’s heart.
However, Christine didn’t give him any chance at all.
A few days ago, at the opening ceremony of the Palazzo, Christine was smiling sweetly. at him when she held Gilmore’s arm and told him that he was her boyfriend.
Moreover, he found out that Christine had given her villa to Gilmore as a gift.
She even hired a bodyguard to protect Gilmore all around the clock.
The two men he had sent to cause Gilmore some trouble were caught by the police for “theft“.
And the people who messed with Gilmore at school were caught by a group of security guards and asked to do push–ups. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Marco didn’t even need to think to know Gilmore behind all of that.
that Christine had used her power to protect
It was very likely that Christine would give the last invitation to Gilmore.
However, Marco would never sit by and watch Gilmore get the invitation and show up at Christine’s birthday party safe and sound.
He would be the only boyfriend who was going up at Christine’s party four days later.
A sharp glint flashed through Marco’s cold eyes.

In the meantime, in the villa at the Palazzo.
Gilmore was sitting on the sofa watching TV when he received a message on WhatsApp. Gilmore checked his phone. The message was from Christine. [I’ve got something for you. See you at 9 am at the basketball court of the Department of Business tomorrow.] Something for him?
At the basketball court of the Department of Business?
Gilmore was so curious that he texted Christine back. [What is it?]
Christine replied, [You’ll know tomorrow. I’m going to bed now. Good night.]
Gilmore replied, [Okay…]
In the bedroom of the Fosters villa, Christine was unhappy when she read Gilmore’s reply.
Why couldn’t he say “Good night“?
He didn’t know girls at all….
Christine snorted in disappointment.
Just then, she received another message on WhatsApp.
She looked at her phone. It was from Gilmore, saying, [Good night.]
The message cheered Christine up immediately. She smiled beautifully.
So it turned out he knew girls after all.
Her reply was simple and arrogant. [Okay…]
The next day, on the basketball court of the Department of Business of Oakhaven University.
Marco was wearing a white basketball jersey and white shorts. The number “23” on the jersey indicated that he was a fan of James from the Lakers.
He was tall and cool, with a basketball in his hands. He was walking to the court with other guys who were also wearing basketball jerseys.
Marco was a junior in the Department of Business. He majored in Business. He liked playing basketball very much and was very good at it too.

He once led the Oakhaven University basketball team to win the championship in a basketball game held in Oakhaven.
Therefore, he was known as the “Basketball Prince” of the Department of Business at Oakhaven University
Every morning, at eight or nine o’clock, he would play basketball with a few friends on the court of the Department of Business.
There were dozens of students watching them, most of whom were girls that adored him.
Marco came from a wealthy family. Being tall, cool, and good at playing basketball, he had won the hearts of a lot of girls at Oakhaven University.
They waited on the court every morning to watch Marco play basketball, which, in their eyes, was hot and cool.
Marco and a few boys began their game.
He ran very fast. He took the ball from the others, dribbled it, and jumped to dunk it into the hoop.
The girls were excited at once. They screamed as if they were looking at a superstar.
The game was getting more and more intense and exciting.
However, Marco was still the most dazzling guy on the court. He was always able to take the ball and score.
At nine o’clock, a beautiful figure appeared on the other side of the court.
“It’s Christine!”
“Why is she here?
Is she here for Marco too?”
Dozens of girls on the playground discussed in a jealous and disappointed tone when they saw Christine.
They all knew Marco was very friendly to Christine. However, Christine was always giving him the cold shoulder.
That made them hate Christine very much.

However, Christine was the prettiest girl at Oakhaven University and she was from a wealthy family.
There was nothing they could do to Christine but be jealous of her.
It was rare for Christine to show up on the court, so they thought she must be there | watch Marco play basketball.
A few guys on the court stopped playing and whispered to Marco, “Marco, your godd
is here.”
“This is the first time she has come to see you play basketball.”
“Seems that the Basketball Prince is going to win the goddess’s heart.”
Marco ignored them and turned to look at Christine.
Christine’s long hair and pretty face made her look like a dream.
She was wearing a white school uniform with a collar, a short checkered skirt, and a pa of black leather shoes. Her legs were slender.
She looked gorgeous, energetic, and innocent in the morning sunlight, which quickly attracted the attention of Marco and the other guys.
Marco and the others couldn’t keep their eyes off Christine at all.
Suddenly, Marco noticed the invitation in her fine and slim hands.
His eyes lit up. “Is Christine here to give me the invitation?” he thought to himself.
