Chapter 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 searching 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.”
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!”
