No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 541

Just as Claudia finished speaking, Peter and Darleen walked in through the revolving glass doors.

Looking at Darleen’s crisp business suit, Claudia knew she must have come straight from the office.

Peter handed a gift to Darleen, motioning for her to give it to Claudia personally.

Darleen didn't hesitate this time, walking right up to Claudia. "Claudia, happy birthday."

Claudia’s eyes welled up with emotion as she pulled Darleen into a hug. "I knew you’d come."

Eddy came over. "Claudia, is everyone here?"

Claudia scanned the room and shook her head. "Everyone who's coming is here. Let's get started."

Darleen and Peter exchanged a glance.

Darleen lowered her head, a wave of sadness washing over her.

In Claudia's heart, her brother was already out of the picture.

Peter put a comforting arm around Darleen's shoulders.

Just before Claudia cut the cake, Hugh spoke up. "Dr. Watkins, it wouldn't hurt to say a few words before you cut the cake."

Claudia glanced at Hugh, surprised to see this side of the usually composed Lawyer Ferguson.

As the crowd cheered her on, Claudia cleared her throat and nodded with a smile.

Peter and Darleen stood at the outer edge of the crowd.

As Claudia prepared to speak, he hesitated for a moment before starting a video call to York.

York answered almost instantly.

Peter couldn’t see him on the screen. "York, where are you?" he asked.
