Atlas reacted quickly. He swiftly pulled me into his arms and shifted positions, evading the oncoming Poppy amidst the crowd's gasps.Luckily, Dylan grabbed her arm and pulled her back. Poppy pretended to look embarrassed.With a profound look, Dylan said, "Ms. Poppy, steady yourself!"Poppy felt uneasy under Dylan's cold gaze, her mind shaken momentarily. She quickly smiled and said, "I'm sorry! Ms. Chloe, I startled you. My fault for not standing firmly. Sorry."Atlas glanced nervously at me and asked, "Are you okay?"Everyone was surprised by his anxious expression, casting curious looks my way.I quickly smiled lightly and said, "I'm fine."Then I returned the list to the host and said, "No problem. Thank you for your hard work."Atlas adjusted my clothes, looking me up and down before finally relaxing. However, his handsome face still glanced indifferently at the embarrassed Poppy.Trying to conceal her nervousness, she bit her lip apologetically and took a step back. I k

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 conti

"Please go ahead." Atlas spoke exceptionally gently."Um... can we have something more practical? Even though this bracelet is nice and expensive, we really can't wear it. Can we exchange it for money?" As soon as she said this, it immediately provoked a chorus of "shushing" from the audience. Everyone began to criticize her."What are you saying? How embarrassing! You're bringing shame to the people of Gerby!""Yeah, what kind of behavior is this? You win a prize, just take it and leave! To ask for money on top of that? Have you never seen money before?""... How ungrateful you are!""Yeah! Too greedy!"The voices below became louder and louder, and the woman who won the prize looked even paler, trembling at the corners of her mouth. She timidly pulled the robust woman, "Let's... let's forget it!"Atlas immediately waved his hand to silence the audience below.Then he looked gently at the two sanitation workers. "Please explain your reasons."The fat woman stepped forward bol

Atlas continued, "In addition, Mr. Coleman Darrell, Ms. Pauline's husband, will also receive support from ATL Empire for his valiant deed. ATL Empire will award an additional 80 grand in cash for Mr. Coleman Darell’s medical expenses and will make the hospital and treatment arrangements for Mr. Coleman. Those expenses will also be covered by ATL Empire."After he finished speaking, he immediately turned to get Dylan to handle it.There was an immediate uproar in the audience, and cheers erupted!After everyone quieted down, they chattered in a mixture of envy and excitement, unable to contain their cheers and shouts. They couldn't believe what was happening.A sanitation worker had won an incredibly large prize.The woman on stage stared at Atlas in shock, as if she couldn't understand what Atlas was saying.She stepped forward again and thanked Atlas profusely on behalf of Pauline. "Thank you so much, Boss! You're such a good person! Pauline, your family is saved... Hurry up and

Arnold pushed the bedroom door open, peeked his head inside, and impatiently exclaimed, "Hey! I was wondering where you went! Why are you here? Don't you jeopardize my sister's pregnancy! Should you be here? Are you blind?"Poppy had a way out. She immediately smiled obsequiously at both of us and said, "Sorry!"With that, she pretended to stay calm and quickly left.Arnold didn't mince his words. "Why are you running around everywhere?"Then he closed the bedroom door gently, and Ivanna snorted coldly. "I can’t believe her!"I stared at the furious Ivanna and couldn't help but giggle. "You’re way too blunt!""Blunt? Let me tell you, Chloe, if you give her an inch, she'll take a mile!" Ivanna lay back down and said fiercely, "If I don't deal with her, I'll regret it!""I admire your straightforwardness." I shook my head and lay down, too.But I couldn’t fall asleep. I checked the clock and saw that we probably weren’t far from Foswood.Poppy had completely ruined this nap.I
