Chapter 655
The little girls exclaimed in awe upon seeing the tiara.
“This is a princess’ tiara,” the host said as he held the box close to his chest, seemingly afraid that it would fall onto the ground. “All you have to do is come up here and present your talents. Whocver gets the loudesi cheer from the crowd will win this.”
Before he even finished speaking, the children were already hopping in their spots as they raised their hands to get picked. The rest of the staff quickly let them draw lots to determine their order of performance.
Genevieve glanced at Cooper in a dumbfounded manner. “Coop, that’s just too much! What if Mandy loses?”
“Our Mandy can defeat the other kids with just her beauty alone.”
“Mr. Sulton’s righi,” Jack said, his lips tilting upward into a smile. “He prepared a gift for Mandy. so I can’t be empty-handed as a father.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith that, he waved and called for a waiter.
Father? As if?
Cooper rolled his eyes at him inwardly.
As the children were queueing up to draw lots, the host announced, “Just a few moments ago, another customer added a gift for first place. It’s a bluc diamond ring!**
As he spoke, he raised a hand to show the customers the prize
Since they were at a restaurant instead of a place where rich people would normally gather, the customers assumed that the host was just exaggerating to get the children excited when he said that the prizes were made of real diamonds.
However, some of the customers started to cheer for their own children after hearing what the host said. Gradually, they also added prizes for the winner.
The customers provided a cash prize of up to ten thousand, a three-day-two-night ticket for a luxury cruise, a plush, and many more.
Soon enough, there were at least thirty prizes for first place. The customers weren’t even eating their New Year’s Eve dinner anymore as they stood with their phones raised and cheered for the children.
Genevieve pulled out her phone, planning to take a video of Mandy later, and she asked, “Luc, do you want to take part too?”
“No,” he responded expressionlessly. “I’m not a clown.”
The next moment, the host announced that someone had added a prize for second place. It was Rubik’s cube with the three-time world champion’s signature.
Hearing that, he instantly hopped off his chair and walked toward the stage.
Genevieve was rendered speechless at that.
The host gave the children who were the first few to perform five minutes to think about what they would be doing so that they could prepare the props and any music needed.
Since there were so many prizes to be won for first place, almost all the children in the restaurant participated.
Some of them were confident as they made their way up the stage, doing anything from singing to dancing. However, some of the children with stage fright left after singing a few sentences.
Soon enough, it was Amanda’s turn. She was wearing a bright red dress, looking especially lively and cute.
Having found out that she wanted to dance, Jack took the initiative and played the piano for her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAmanda danced to the beat of the song titled: Winter Wonderland. The bottom part of her dress would float every time she twirled around, making her look like a fairy on the winter days. The crowd around was immersed in her cute dance.
Once she was done, she thanked the crowd, and they instantly applauded her like crazy.
Lucian didn’t know how to play instruments, nor did he know how to dance, so he performed magic in front of the crowd. Everyone was shocked and confused as they couldn’t tell how he did it at all.
Amanda had gotten the loudest applause and cheers out of all the children who performed.
Even though there was a girl who did ballet, the crowd found Amanda’s dance to be better.
After finding out that she would not be getting first place, the girl who did ballet instantly cried, “This is unfair! The handsome man played the piano for her when she danced, but he didn’t do it for me. I’ve learned ballct for three years, and I worked so hard for it. So how is it possible that I lost to her?”
At the sight of this, the crowd’s hearts started to soften for her.
However, Amanda’s eyes reddened, and she was about to cry too.
Coincidentally, Lucian was standing next to her. He leaned in and whispered something in her cars.
