NovelAppChapter 363 Birthday Cake
“If anyone can find it, you may ask the Tanner family for something within our capabilities.”
“I think this is a fair trade.”
The crowd offstage eagerly discussed it.
Cherise leaned back in Damien’s arms and gazed at the unique jade pendant projected on the white
screen. “The jade pendant looks very distinctive.”
“But we’re in such a vast world. Searching for the jade pendant is more challenging than searching for
a person, isn’t it?”
She pouted. “Do you think we can find it, honey?”
Damien casually embraced her and smiled. “We can.”
One day ago, he had instructed Mr. Hampson to retrieve the jade pendant from the safe in his study
room.
Jack had given him the jade pendant during Cherise’s and his visit to Shaw’s village.
It was identical to the jade pendant depicted in the picture on stage.
The rest of the night was filled with liveliness.
It was as if the entire birthday banquet had transformed into a press conference where Beckham was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsearching for his daughter.
Someone in the audience began asking questions, and Beckham earnestly answered them.
They inquired about how he and Charisa fell in love, why they argued, and what he did after Charisa
left.
They asked about every detail, regardless of its significance. Cherise quickly grew tired of listening to
the questions before anyone else.
She reclined in Damien’s arms and yawned incessantly.
“Are you sleepy?”
The man asked softly.
“A little.”

The girl smiled, feeling slightly embarrassed. She was about to turn and grab a cup of coffee from the
table to freshen up.
But Damien stopped her.
“It’s not good to drink too much coffee.”
“If you’re tired, let’s go back and rest, hmm?”
“I… don’t think that’s appropriate.”
Cherise pursed her lips and looked up at Beckham on stage, still earnestly discussing how much he
valued finding his daughter. “The main character hasn’t even cut his cake yet.”
“Is it right for us to just leave like this?”
Damien was slightly taken aback. He suddenly realized that to her, a birthday banquet was incomplete
without a birthday cake.
He smiled in exasperation and tapped her nose. “Tell me. Did you ask for an invitation to enter because
you wanted to eat cake?”
Cherise smiled, slightly embarrassed. “Grandpa told me that tonight’s cake… was made by a famous
European pastry chef…”
She recalled how Mr. Tanner had described the delectable cake to her.
Mr. Tanner said that he had eaten many delicacies over the years, but he loved the cakes made by this
pastry chef the most!
He also mentioned that hiring this pastry chef was expensive and beyond the means of an ordinary
person. Only the Tanner family could afford it…
Therefore, she…
Damien shook his head in exasperation. “He knows how much you love indulging yourself.”
After that, he took a deep breath and motioned for Mr. Hampson to come over. He spoke to Mr.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHampson in a low voice.
Mr. Hampson was slightly astonished but followed the instructions and approached Mr.
Tanner.
Mr. Tanner’s eyes lit up upon hearing what Mr. Hampson said.

He glanced at the time, then quickly grabbed his walking stick before walking over to Damien. “Alright,
everyone. You can ask more questions later.”
“Today, we’re not only searching for my biological granddaughter, but we’re also celebrating my son’s
birthday!”
“If we don’t start soon, the cake will get cold!”
Everyone was stunned.
Isn’t cake supposed to be served cold?
Although many still had questions, no one continued to ask after Mr. Tanner spoke up.
The birthday banquet officially commenced.
The pastry chef wheeled in an enormous three-tier cake from backstage.
“Come here, Cherise!”
Mr. Tanner said, beaming at Cherise. He positioned her between him and Beckham. “Come on, let’s
blow out the candles together and make a wish!”
