Was that the truth? I thought this watch was gorgeous. It was a ssic Rolex model. Why wouldn''t Felicia like it? This meant that she was aesthetically picky. I''d have to choose her future presents wisely.


    When Ryan heard our conversation, he snickered. "William, who are you putting on an act for? You only stole one million. You''ve donated and spent a good portion of that. At most, you''ve got three hundred thousand left. Do you think we''re dumb? How would you be able to afford a matching Rolex set?"


    Lina rolled her eyes. "Ignore him. He''s addicted to pretending to be rich. Let him be."


    Mason announced, "Alright. The grand prize winner is table 36, seat number 8!" Everyone turned to our table.


    I looked down at my seat. Number 8...


    How could it be me? Did such coincidences even exist?


    I suspected that Mason had rigged the lucky draw and intended to give me this watch all this time. He just hadn''t expected me to request to keep a low profile. He was too embarrassed to gift this to me outright and resorted to using this tactic to give it to me instead.


    This was indeed the case.


    Under the heavy weight of everyone''s gaze, I could only stand up and walk toward Mason. As I passed the other tables, I could hear whispers among the crowd. "Damn, this kid is way too lucky!"


    "Someone sitting at table 36 must not havee from a privileged background. He must''ve been a hero in hisst life to get such a gorgeous watch!"


    When I approached Mason, I whispered, "You set this up so I would receive this prize, didn''t you?"


    Mason chuckled drily and said, "Nothing can escape your watchful eye, Mr. White. Don''t be surprised. When I heard that you were bringing your girlfriend with you, I went to the store and selected these watches myself. It''s just a sign of my respect for you."


    "Fine. Thank you for thinking about us."


    I had let him down more than once that day. I couldn''t embarrass him in these circumstances. Thus, I epted the watch.


    Mason said into his microphone, "Did youe alone? If you''ve got a girlfriend, there''s no harm in inviting her onstage to receive the prize together."


    Mason...


    I''d told him I wanted to keep a low profile. Why did he keep banging on with this?


    However, Felicia immediately came forward after Mason spoke. I had no choice but to wait for her toe onstage and fasten the watch around her wrist.


    "Let''s give this couple a round of apuse. May their love stand the test of time." Apuse roared throughout the hall. I could only force a smile and wave my hands. "Thank you so much. We can get offstage now, right?"


    Mason seemed to be extremely happy with himself. He said happily, "Of course. Be my guest."


    I took Felicia''s hand. Just as we were about to get off, someone yelled, "Wait! They don''t deserve this prize!"


    It was Ryan again. He had dragged Lina with him to the front of the stage. After seeing the watches on us, jealousy and dissatisfaction brewed within their eyes.


    Mason and the other attendees widened their eyes when they heard his words. "They don''t deserve the prize? What do you mean?"


    Ryan leaped onstage and grabbed the microphone. "This asshole didn''t even receive an invitation. He snuck in uninvited! Thus, he is not qualified to enter the lucky draw!"
