As the emcee was fired up by the atmosphere, he then continued, "Next, let's count from three to one as loud as you can while we draw today's lucky winner!"
The numbers had started shuffling on the big screen and everyone held their breaths as they waited in anticipation to reveal the lucky winner. They shouted in unison along with the emcee, "Three, two, one… Stop!"
As soon as they finished their countdown, the numbers stopped rolling. An enlarged number was then displayed at the center of the big screen—520.
It was simply stirring that such a number corresponded to the lucky prize. Everyone looked at their numbers, and when they saw their numbers were not matching, they could not help being somewhat disappointed. At the same time, they turned to look around them, trying to discover the lucky winner amidst the crowd.
At that moment, the emcee announced, "Let's welcome our lucky guest No. 520 onstage!"
Everyone at the scene shouted along to the cheerful music.
As everyone watched with anticipation, Vania gracefully walked up onto the stage while illuminated by the spotlight. Her evening dress glittered in various colors under the spotlight and made her look like a peacock of unparalleled beauty.
The emcee said excitedly, "Congratulations to Miss Vania on becoming tonight's lucky winner!"
"Thank you." Vania took the present before smiling sweetly at the audience. Among the numerous eyes was Hanson's eyes, which she spotted almost instantly. Despite the long distance between them, they could sense each other being reflected in each other's eyes.
Seeing her on stage, Melanie followed Vania's gaze and easily spotted Hanson. They really do share a lot of tacit understanding, huh? Look how much Hanson cares for her. She knew at a glance that the event was held specially for Vania by him. Such a colorful diamond was difficult to grow synthetically, let alone for it to exist in nature. Since it was rare to see such a diamond, one might as well say that it was priceless.
At the sight of glory and love, Melanie was filled with nothing but hatred. She had been with Hanson for such a long time; not only that, she was also Morales and Morgan's mother on paper. Forget the diamond; when had he ever given her presents? Perhaps it'd never crossed his mind to give me anything while we were together. At this moment, she wished she could rush on stage and smash the colorful diamond into pieces just to vent her resentment.
Meanwhile, everyone offstage was excited for Vania despite their faint disappointment. After all, Hanson had just professed his love for her on Twitter. Because of that, they cheered even louder.
Compared to winning the lucky prize, they were much happier to be able to tease him. With that being said, even if such a gift were to come down on top of them, they would not dare to keep it. As such, some bold ones at the scene even urged him to propose to her.
On the other hand, Melanie really wished she could shut those people up. If Hanson really was to propose to Vania, she would no longer stand any chance. They're only eager to see the spectacle.
Amidst the crowd's cheers, the emcee spoke excitedly again, "Everyone, the lucky draw earlier was just a warm-up. The jewelry products Miss Vania designed for the Luke Corporation's Fantasy Daydream Jewelry have been a complete success, and their sales have set a record in the jewelry industry! So, the colorful diamond earlier is only a memento specially custom-made for her by the Luke Corporation. Next, we'll draw out the actual winner of the lucky prize!"
"Huh?" everyone exclaimed in surprise since little did they know they still stood a chance.
