Written on a piece of yellow paper, the divination lot was even handwritten with a calligraphy pen. Looks like the Oracle is an insightful person, Sophia concluded from the

writing. When written on paper, the meaning behind the divination lot became clearer to her, and she nodded, thinking that it did seem like a really auspicious lot.

Standing on her own now, Kate turned her attention to the spectators below the stage. “There is entertainment in the backyard, and the gifts are ready as well. Go ahead and

enjoy yourselves there, everyone,” she announced, sounding more energetic than earlier.

The onlookers said their congratulations as though the divination lot was drawn for them, and Sophia turned to look at Belinda, who nodded at her delightfully.

A few minutes later, Logan returned to the hall when almost half the guest had already left. Swaying around as he walked, it was clear that he had too much to drink today.

John hurriedly held him, worried that he might make a scene of himself. “You drank too much. Take a rest in one of the lounges.”

“What about Sophia?” he slurred.

Sighing, John assured, “She’s fine, so go and rest now.”

Scanning around, Logan caught Sophia standing next to Kate, and he snorted in disapproval. “Why did she go up on the stage?”

As he knew that he was not in his best state, he didn’t want to go to her. Thus, after weighing his options, he turned to Dylan next to him and grinned sheepishly. “Dylan, I’m

handing over Sophia to you. Take care of her for me because I know that I had too much to drink and need to sober up a little somewhere. I’ll be back after I’ve sobered up.”

John frowned. He’s handing over Sophia to Dylan? How could he do this with so much ease?

Beside them, Isabelle said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Jefferson. Sophia will be fine.”

Turning to look at her, Logan shot her a peeved glare, displaying his dislike for her publicly.

“Okay, don’t worry about it. I’ll take good care of Miss Gwendolyn,” Dylan promised.

Just like Logan, John pulled a long face and didn’t try to hide his unhappiness anymore. After hailing for an attendant to help Logan to a lounge to sober up, Dylan then went

toward Sophia.

As she responded to the people who came with congratulatory messages, Kate appeared much more vibrant than earlier. Standing next to her, Sophia looked a little lost as

Dylan approached them and greeted Belinda, “Grandma.”

At the sight of him, Belinda exclaimed, “Dylan, I was looking for you earlier because I didn’t see you around!”

“Huh? I was in the lounge at the reception hall with Sophia. It was too crowded here, and we didn’t want to add on to the excitement.”

This caught both Belinda and John, who was right behind Dylan, by surprise. Turning to Sophia, she asked, “Were you with Dylan earlier?”

Sophia nodded. “Yeah. It’s too noisy here, so we took a break in the lounge.”

Chuckling softly, John spoke in a cold voice, “So you went into hiding just when I was wondering where you had gone.”

Sophia frowned, annoyed that he accused her of hiding because she had no need to do that. Then, she snorted, “Why were you looking for me? Aren’t you enjoying yourself?”

Isabelle came to join them at this point and greeted Kate and Belinda. Not knowing what they were talking about before this, she said in a gentle voice, “Earlier on the dance

floor, John was curious what would be the prize, and it’s such an eye-opener now that we’ve seen it. That’s very generous of you, Mrs. Blackwell.”

Glancing at Isabelle, Belinda didn’t exactly dislike her, but felt that it was impossible for their families to have another engagement after everything that happened before.

Moreover, since some unfavorable rumors had spread out between her and John, they had to refrain from each other no matter what.
