With her hand still holding Sophia’s, Kate dragged her to have a conversation with Belinda, whopraised Sophia for always being blessed.
Sophia almost laughed out loud at that compliment. Am I blessed? Well, I’ve never felt that way.
Glancing nonchalantly toward John’s direction, she saw that he was having a conversation withIsabelle, who appeared happy from the smile on her face, and even gestured with her hands during theconversation.
On the other hand, John merely kept his lips pursed and nodded with a rather strict expression. Next tohim, Dylan stood and stared at her. When their eyes met, Sophia was first startled but then immediatelyflashed him a smile.
Even though it was just a polite smile, he seemed delighted and waved at her, which sheacknowledged with a nod.

Soon, the assistant returned, and silence fell over the room. Below the stage, John kept his eyes fixedon Sophia, watching her excited face helplessly.
This divination lot was actually drawn on behalf of the Blackwells, or Kate wouldn’t have used herbeloved treasure as the grand prize. Previously, John had found out from Belinda that the Blackwellsran into some issues in their business, and Kate was also feeling unwell. Hence, they probably wantedto ward off the bad luck with this divination lot.
As businessmen were usually superstitious, it would be fine if the oracle had come back with goodnews. If it was otherwise, then the situation would turn awkward for Sophia.
First, the assistant went straight to Kate and bowed to her, and she bowed back politely. Then, he tookout the divination lot and spoke in a serious tone which wasn’t too loud, but was clear for everyone tohear since the room was silent. “The Heavens has spoken, and this is an auspicious divination,” heannounced.
Upon hearing that it was an auspicious lot, Kate beamed and even thanked the Heavens.
“The King chanced upon a deity, and gentleness will always win over brutality. Good fortune will befallthose who are kind, and anyone who draws this lot would run into an oasis in times of draught,” theassistant continued.
Sophia had no idea what the divination meant and blinked blankly at the spectators. From the corner ofher eyes, she spotted John and Dylan who looked pleased. novelbin
So that means this divination lot is exceptionally lucky?
Nobody knew if Kate really understood what the divination meant, but she kept thanking the Heavenswhile the assistant bowed at her and handed her the divination lot written by the oracle. Thereafter, hegathered the priests on the stage and left with the chest which was filled with divination lots.
It was clear for everyone that Kate seemed overjoyed now, and she finally released Sophia’s hand.After looking through the divination lot a few times, she showed it to Belinda.
“I told you Sophia is a blessed person,” Belinda said after reading the lot, then turned to look at Sophia.
Sophia chuckled dryly and asked, “May I take a look at it?” And Kate hurriedly showed it to her.
