Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Just as we got to the scene, a minor incident happened before we could even take the stage.

The person chosen to draw the first prize was an old lady selected from the audience. She was escorted onto the stage to operate the lottery machine, and we were all waiting for the number to come out to award the prize to the winner. However, at that moment, a young man in black quietly approached our vicinity. Just as he was about to reach me and Atlas, he was quickly restrained by Cane, who had been guarding us.

He struggled and shouted, "The lady on stage is my grandmother! I'm here to help her off the stage. What are you doing?"

This outcry immediately drew the attention of the media reporters. Several journalists quickly surrounded us for interviews and footage.

The young man loudly protested and told the reporters that he was innocent. This caused resentment among the onlookers, making the situation somewhat out of hand.

Atlas stayed back, shielding me from harm. The young man continued to argue while glancing at us with malice.

The winning number had already been generated on the big screen, and the notary verified it. Then, the winning number was announced, and the excitement from the audience drowned out everything else.

The elderly lady who drew the prize was escorted off the stage.

In the meantime, the disturbance caused by the young man who had been restrained here drew a large crowd of spectators. They gradually started to get dissatisfied with our people, and some of them even gave the guards a fierce look and demanded that the young man be released.

Standing guard over me on the stage, Atlas exuded a chilling aura as if he had emerged from hell. His cold gaze fell on Cane.

Cane immediately turned around and brought the old lady who had just drawn the prize to him.

In a gentle tone, he asked the old lady, "Ma'am, is this your relative?"

Everyone present fell silent, looking at the old lady in astonishment. However, the old lady just smiled and looked at the young man being restrained with a smile, seemingly still basking in the joy of a moment ago. Those at the scene held their breaths, staring at the old lady's smiling face.

The old woman stepped forward twice, glanced at the young man, then grinned at Cane. "I don't know him."

Those paying attention to this incident were instantly dumbfounded and looked at the young man with some surprise. The young man suddenly felt a little guilty. "Grandma! It's me! How can you say you don't know me?" The old lady was a bit confused, staring at the young man's face and then adjusting her expression. "Whose family are you from? Why are you calling me Grandma?"

Then, she looked puzzled at Cane and said, "I really don't know him!"

Cane stepped forward and quickly searched the young man. Surprisingly, as if performing magic, he found a dagger on the young man.

The surrounding people went into a frenzy.

One characteristic of the people in

Gerby was their strong sense of unity. Initially, they thought our

people were bullying the young man, but they immediately became indignant when they saw the dagger being uncovered. They all demanded that he be punished.

I exchanged a glance with Atlas, speculating about the man's identity.

At this moment, the unaware emcee on stage had already invited us up.

After he gave Cane a chilly look and made a gesture, Cane ordered his men to remove the man. Then, Atlas said gently, "Let them handle it. We should go up."

We both smiled and walked onto the stage, and the crowd below erupted into continuous cheers. The three winners also eagerly came up on stage.

The girl among the winners seemed even more excited to see Atlas than winning the prize herself.

After we presented the awards to them, she was so excited that she requested to take photos with us, exclaiming, "I never expected to be so lucky! Not only did I win the first prize, but I also got to get up close with you!"

Although she said "you" to both of us, her eyes were fixed on Atlas's face.

Atlas remained indifferent, still holding me. Reluctantly, the three of them departed the stage after he granted their wishes.

Finally, for the grand prize, Atlas and

I pressed the button together. When the big screen displayed a number,

everyone

one at the scene craned their necks, eagerly waiting for the winner

nppear on stage.

But strangely, the anticipated screams only came for a short time.
