Chapter 443


    The crowd cheered when the number for the third prize was announced, and someone quickly went on


    the stage to give a small speech of thanks. Then, the same thing happened with the second prize


    winner. Finally, it was time for the first prize.


    Fanning herself with the invitation, Sophia said, “I’ve never been lucky with lucky draws. I’ll probably


    never be able to make a windfall in this life.”


    The only chance for me to make a windfall was traded with a year of marriage and humiliation.


    “You can’t force this type of thing to happen,” Dn said with augh. “Let’s just watch.”


    Taking a look at the lot she drew, Kate announced, “Number twenty-five. The first prize winner of the


    day is number twenty-five!”


    Sophia’s hand came to an abrupt stop mid-air, then she turned to Dn. “Earlier, what did I tell you my


    number is?”


    Cracking up, he made fun of her, saying, “See, you attract what you speak of. You’re the winner,


    Sophia.”


    Up to this point in her life, Sophia had never won such a big prize, which was why she was


    dumbfounded. Staring at the prize on the stage, she thought, Even if I receive something like this, I can


    never wear it out on the streets. It’s so ugly!


    Dn gave her a nudge and she hurriedly went to the stage. “That’s me.” With the invitation in her


    hands, she went onstage and passed it to a person for verification.


    Seeing that the winner was Sophia brought a delighted look on Belinda’s face, and she smiled as she


    took the youngerdy’s hands. “You’re so lucky, Sophia.”


    “I’m surprised as well,” she replied with a smile.


    After that, the origin of the jewelry set was exined. Apparently, it was a priceless set of jewelry which


    belonged to a duchess from centuries ago, and had been in Kate’s collection for years. Initially, she


    wanted to turn it into a heirloom, but in the end, she decided to use it as the grand prize on her birthday


    for good luck.


    With a smile stered on her face, Sophia repeated the same words as the previous two winners, but


    before she could leave the stage like them, she was being held back on the stage.


    “Come here.” Led by Kate, they walked over to the big chest, which had the divination lots and a small


    hole big enough for a hand to slip through. Next to that, a few priests stood there, praying in low voices.


    Still holding her hand, Kate instructed carefully, “Put your hand in but don’t rummage around. Just grab


    one and that’s it. Do you get it?”


    Looking at Kate from a close distance, Sophia could see the anticipation and hope in her old, opaque


    eyes. When she looked away, one of the priests announced, “You may pick out a divination lot now,


    Miss.”


    All the divination lots were ced upright. Reaching her hand in, she picked out the first one she


    touched.


    A priest took it from her and passed it along to an assistant, who took a look at it and then asked,


    ”What would you like to ask for?”


    “Huh?” She thought silently, But I have nothing to ask for.


    However, at second thought, she might be drawing this lot on Kate’s behalf, who was still holding her


    hand. Thus, she answered, “I would like to ask for good health, or my family’s prosperity.”

    At that, Kate appeared reassured. Then, the assistant went toward the exit of the banquet hall. As the


    renowned oracle wasn’t here and was most probably still in the backyard, the assistant kept the lot


    away carefully and left for the backyard briskly.


    In the room, there was now a crowd gathered around the second and third prize winners, admiring their


    prizes and discussing the history and value of their prizes, while some waited patiently to watch the


    results of her divination lot.
