Sophia looked at the set of jewelry she just won, which included a necklace, earrings, and a bracelet. Looks like it can only be a collection from the design and color. It’s really horrible to wear jewelry with this shade of green.
With her hand still holding Sophia’s, Kate dragged her to have a conversation with Belinda, who praised Sophia for always being blessed.
Sophia almost laughed out loud at that compliment. Am I blessed? Well, I’ve never felt that way.
Glancing nonchalantly toward John’s direction, she saw that he was having a conversation with Isabelle, who appeared happy from the smile on her face, and even gestured with her hands during the conversation.
On the other hand, John merely kept his lips pursed and nodded with a rather strict expression. Next to him, Dylan stood and stared at her. When their eyes met, Sophia was first startled but then immediately flashed him a smile.
Even though it was just a polite smile, he seemed delighted and waved at her, which she acknowledged with a nod.
From the corner of his eyes, John saw him waving and caught Sophia nodding at him from the stage. These two are even flirting openly now, he thought with a tightened jaw and frowned at the sight.
When Sophia was turning away, she accidentally caught John’s gaze for a split second, causing a change in her attitude at once, and she rolled her eyes at him boldly, even snorting coldly at him regardless if he could hear it or not.
Soon, the assistant returned, and silence fell over the room. Below the stage, John kept his eyes fixed on Sophia, watching her excited face helplessly.
This divination lot was actually drawn on behalf of the Blackwells, or Kate wouldn’t have used her beloved treasure as the grand prize. Previously, John had found out from Belinda that the Blackwells ran into some issues in their business, and Kate was also feeling unwell. Hence, they probably wanted to ward off the bad luck with this divination lot.
