Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian) novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111 A Meaningful Prize

Seeing that Julian had at least a hundred lottery tickets in his hand, Annalise was stunned. “Why are there so many? How many things did you buy? Wait, you… This mall is yours?”

“No.” Julian did not want to lie to his wife, but if he admitted it, the following lucky draw would be meaningless. He had brought her here to make her happy. If she knew that the mall was his, how could she be in the mood to participate in the lucky draw? He could only lie first and beg for her forgiveness later.

“Did you exchange all these with purchase receipts, then? What did you buy?” Annalise was shocked. Julian said, “I bought all kinds of daily necessities, rice, oil, pots, and so on. It’s almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I’ll be handing out some employees benefits.”

Annalise laughed out loud. “If your employees knew those benefits were exchanged for these lottery tickets, they would definitely call you a profiteer behind your back.” “Haha!” Julian also laughed. He gave her more than half of the lottery tickets. “Here, take it.”

Annalise took it and divided another portion for Julian. “I don’t need so much. Let’s go.” Why did she look so eager for this? As expected, the lucky draw event was especially exciting.

Many people participated. There were ten lottery boxes, and almost every box had four to five people in front of it. Nonetheless, the draw happened very fast. From time to time, excited voices could be heard. “Oh, no. I drew the second prize.”

But some people who drew the second prize were so excited that they cried. It was more than 5,500 dollars worth of cosmetics. Even if they didn’t use it themselves, they wouldn’t be able to get as much discount if they bought these big-brand cosmetics second-hand. When the surrounding people saw that someone had won the second prize, they were extremely envious.

Some people even put their palms together and bowed before drawing the lottery. They muttered, “Please bless me, gods and goddesses. I will win the lottery! I will win it!”

Another muttered, “God of Wealth, God of Wealth, save my poor soul. Give me a special prize, and I’ll pray to you every day!”

Annalise was a little excited. It was her turn. She immediately handed the staff a lottery ticket. She had drawn a piece of paper. The note was all pink. It was a sequined card paper, very exquisite and romantic. The note was folded.

Annalise held the note and did not dare to open it. “Open it and see,” Julian said. Annalise was extremely excited. She smiled and teased, “What if I get the special prize? Haha.” For some reason, she wanted to win a car, even when she could easily afford one.
