    Chapter 656 I Thought You Climbed Out Of A Coffin


    Amanda''s eyes were red as she said in her sweet voice, “You worked hard in your ballet sses, but I worked hard in my dancing sses too.


    If you feel that it was unfair, then let''s change it up. The person in charge of the music can y the piano for me, and the handsome man here


    can y for you. Is that all right?”


    The girl wiped away her tears and nodded. The rest of the crowd also nodded in agreement at that.


    Both girls yed rock-paper-scissors, and it was decided that Amanda would be going first.


    She put on her red hood and acted like she was Little Red Riding Hood. Amanda acted cute one moment and whimsical the next. Everyone


    wasughing their hearts out as they watched her performance.


    On the other hand, the girl danced to “Swan Lake.” Her moves were elegant, but they could never bepared to Amanda''s.


    She was about to cry again when she found out that she had lost again.


    At that, Amanda pouted and said, “We''re here to show off our talents. We can do whatever we want. There''s no rule saying that we have to


    dance. Don''t cry for small reasons like this. It''s embarrassing. I-If you really want first ce, then I''ll give it to you.”


    The crowd felt outraged for her when they saw how big-hearted she was being.


    One of them voiced, “Why should you give it to her? All of us saw that you performed better than her. Both times too!”


    “That''s right. Competitions don''t work in your favor just because you cry. That''s not how it works.”


    Soon enough, all the customers were in support of Amanda getting first ce. Even the host gave her all of the prizes for first ce.


    He wanted to give the girl who did ballet the prizes for second ce, but Lucian suddenly stated, “She''s good at ballet, but am I not good at


    magic?”


    “We''re both boys here. Let her have it this time, okay?” Seeing that there were so many customers watching, the host didn''t want the girl to


    cry again.


    Lucian shrugged and put on an aggrieved look on his face. Even the way he spoke sounded pitiful as he said, “I would have let her have it if I


    were fourteen. But I''m only four! She''s already seven. It should be the other way around.”


    The crowd found what he said to be reasonable.


    A secondter, Lucian said generously, “Fine. I''ll let her have her way. We can split the prizes for second ce.”


    Then, he walked toward the area where all the prizes were and asked for the Rubik''s cube from the staff.


    The host was left dumbfounded by how the boy acted, but he quickly handed the girl the other prize and added a Disney plush for her.


    When Lucian was finally back at the table, Genevieve patted his head and said, “You did well. You protected your rights.”


    When it came topetitions involving boys and girls, people would normally hope to see the boys giving girls the advantage. However, it


    didn''t mean that the boys weren''t gentlemen if they refused to.


    Everything should be fair inpetitions. There shouldn''t be any situation where someone had to give someone else an advantage.


    Since Amanda had gotten first ce, she received more than thirty prizes. Her arms had gotten sore from opening them up, but her favorite


    one out of everything was still the tiara. She couldn''t wait to put it on the moment she got it.


    “Thank you, Uncle Cooper,” she said. She put her arms up and made a heart shape at Cooper.


    Then, Amanda leaned over to Jack and kissed him on his cheek. “Thank you for the blue diamond ring too! I like it very much!”


    At the sight of this, Genevieve couldn''t help but feel that her daughter was a fair and just person even though she was so young.


    The band continued to perform on stage, and the restaurant seemed to have gotten more lively as everyone ate their New Year''s Eve dinner


    with their families.


    Having eaten the food at Golden Restaurant, Genevieve could finally put the feeling of confusion behind her.


    She spected that Bruce had learned how to cook at the restaurant. Hence, the reason the food he made tasted so simr.


    Nheless, she never noticed this previously.


    It was already ten at night when they were done with their dinner. Amanda was so excited to return home to y with fireworks. However,


    Cooper received a call at thest second, saying that he had to handle some things.


    He drove to Imperial Club after bidding goodbye to Genevieve and the group.

    Cooper was now one of the bosses of the club. He headed straight for the office upstairs and saw a figure sitting on the couch the moment he


    pushed the door open.


    The figure was scrolling on his phone. Though he had a dark look in his eyes, the slight smile he had on made him lose a little of his coldness.


    A hint of warmth lingered in his eyes.


    Cooper was stunned at the sight of the man. After closing the door behind him, he took off his coat and walked toward the couch. “You can''t


    appear in front of me so suddenly like that. I thought you''d climbed out of a coffin.”
