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,” Dylan said with a laugh. “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 Dylan. “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!
Dylan 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 younger lady’s hands. “You’re so lucky, Sophia.”
“I’m surprised as well,” she replied with a smile.

So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
