Novel & Cerita The Prize By Julie Garwood

He must have had some secret intentions. The voting had already begun when she was changing her clothes. The performance that had the highest votes was her dance with William. According to the rules, Patek Philippe's watch should be their prize. However, Hardy said that she and William were not lovers, so the couple's prize was given to the second most voted couple, while Valeria won the Hermes' bag. Valeria had no thoughts about the prize, but Abbie was very happy. "This trip wasn't wasted. You won a limited edition bag! Let me tell you, this bag costs a lot of money. No, it's something you can't even buy with money!"

Hearing that, Gerald simply chuckled in response. Still, he had a feeling that he was going to have to go easy on Yudell if they really did end up facing each other… After thinking about it for a bit longer, Gerald was prompted to ask, “Is there any actual advantage in winning the first prize?” “There are! For one, you’ll obtain the extremely honorable title of ‘national scholar’ in Shontell! The champion will also be given a chance to choose and obtain one of the precious treasures from our national treasury!” explained Yalinda rather excitedly.

"The winner of first place, Amanda! Congratulations to Miss Wilson for winning the one million prize." "Second place, 0056, Miss K's work from Fragrance K." "[Third place, 0062, Mr. Gilbert's work.]" Hearing the last name, Amanda paused, surprised. Gilbert also participated in the competition? Benjamin and Amanda exchanged a glance; they were also learning about this now. Joey looked at the announced results in disbelief. Why was she in second place?

The next day, news articles about Jessamine winning the award were released and were shared in various group chats. Among the top ten in the competition, there were two winners from Crestia. The champion, of course, was Jessamine. Another award recipient who placed fifth was a designer from Holt Jewelry's design department. For a competition of this caliber, securing fifth place was quite an impressive achievement. Based on Jessamine's understanding of Holt Jewelry's bylaws, the person in fifth place was also eligible to receive a substantial bonus from the company.

The second prize consisted of 30 diamond rings. The first prize, given to three winners, was a limited-edition diamond-studded bracelet from Sautoir Fine Jewelry. A special prize was added, a diamond-studded bracelet named 'Unique,' exclusively designed by the famous Sautoir Fine designer Linda—the only one in the world. All the prizes came with certificates from Sautoir Fine Jewelry, guaranteeing their authenticity. When the host on stage announced loudly, "This season's spokesperson for Sautoir Fine Jewelry., the star Poppy, international model Eva Glenn, famous singer Tabitha Solis, and international supermodel Chancellor Gomez will showcase the prizes for everyone."

The Beta, his wife, and Margaret are ushered to the side of the stage in third position. “Choosing between first and second was a difficult task. Second place is awarded to Chairman Zhadnost!” The Prince announced. The girl in the mustard dress smiled sweetly and said, “Congratulations!” She turned and grabbed her medal to take to her mistress. “You too!” I called as she made her way onstage. The old woman turned to me. “Congratulations, girl. I hope you enjoy your prize.” She added. She handed the medal to me. It was glistening gold with the Pack coat of arms carved into it.

"Cool stuff? Are the prizes bigger this year? Come on, Becky, spill the beans. Wasn't the top prize a car last year? It's not something even wilder this time, is it?" "You hit the nail on the head. It's a killer perk." Becky's smile widened. Getting picked to stun the dance floor with the big boss of Collosus Group beat a car, right? With that thought, Becky gave Arya's hand a reassuring pat. "Fingers crossed for you!" "Heh, I'm not picky, snagging the grand prize would be sweet. Hey, what about Noelle's badge?" Arya realized she had hers, but Noelle was badgeless. "Oh, and Mr. Parker's?"

he said, voice shaking slightly before he tried to steady it, “since Sophia, the head engineer at Morgan Group was proven to have committed fraud and so then it is obvious who the real winner is.” A ripple ran through the room. “The first prize goes to Mellisa Millers.” Applause hit the hall like a wave and it all felt warm, loud and importantly, honest. I walked toward the stage with my legs a little lighter and my breath coming in that shaky way victory sometimes forces out of you. When I reached him, the host extended a hand, and I shook it. His palm was cold, maybe from nerves or shame, but I didn’t dwell so much on it.

Garfield paused as the cheers grew louder. "Deed to a duplex in one of our premier estates." Now, the audience was on its feet. "And last but not least, a cash prize of ten thousand dollars!" The final announcement was nearly drowned out by the deafening roar of the crowd. The staff, prepared for this, brought forward a large display board. Instead of a single dummy check, it was an elaborate infographic that visually depicted each prize: a stylized scholarship scroll, a car key, a house, and a check for $10,000.00.

Caroline said happily, showing that she had collected all the badges. “What?!” everyone exclaimed. “And I didn’t even need James’s help,” she said, grinning. “Ah… gaa…” “Congratulations, young lady,” George said. “That’s my niece,” Nicholas said proudly. “Lucky you,” Elliot said. “And here is the prize for the winner,” David declared, opening the box to reveal a dark chocolate cake with strawberries, decorated with the word “Winner” in white chocolate. “Yes! Just what I was craving,” Caroline said happily, making everyone laugh.
