Chereads / Millionaire’s genius wife / Chapter 37 - Bingo!

Chapter 37 - Bingo!

Each of them had the bingo paper, a golden pen and tapping bell.

" Once you have matched 3columns or rows, you will tap the bell. The first two person to tap it will forward to the final round!" The emcee said and everyone sat more comfortably, ready to play.

Caleb looked awfully bored and he just sat doing nothing. Veronica had gone quiet and looked serious than ever. This was the first time Wish had seen her like this. What might be her reason to be this serious.

" Ladies and gentlemen, the game has officially...Begun!"

Right after that, the emcee started calling out numbers continuously. Some became excited seeing it, while some sighed annoyed. " no.4"

Wish cut the number quickly. This game was all about luck so she had accept, if she didnt win.

"no.12"

Her eyes lit up when the number was called. She had already two rows and the last one was left with only two numbers.

"no.16"

ding.

Veronica tapped the bell quickly, making the rest raise their heads. " Okay, we have the first finalist, Ms.Veronica Brent. Continuing on to the game. no.3"

After that several, bells were heard. A number of people finished the first round. But from their table, one more place was left. "no.19"

Wish quickly cut the number and tapped the bell. Both William and Veronica smiled at her. Meanwhile, Julie looked disappointed.

" We have all the finalists. now for the final round, all of the finalists please come forward and sit around this table." the emcee pointed at the table right below the stage. A total of 20 people were left and they sat at the shown table.

Veronica raised her fist mouthing 'good luck' to her. She mouthed it back. The final round was even more nerve wrecking. Within these 20 people, only 2 would be selected as winners. If she won here, her goal wouldnt just be a far away dream.

" For the final round, you have to match 5 column and rows." the emcee explained, " Seeing all of our finalists excited and ready. We would like to start the game. Good luck!"

In one of the chairs, Wish saw her father was also there. He glanced at her for a brief moment, looking away. Seeing her father there, made her even more nervous.

The emcee started calling out the numbers. At first, there werent any numbers that aligned correctly. This made Wish nervous. the rest of the other people also seemed to be nervous. This wasnt like the first round obviously as they had to match 5 rows and columns.

" no.10"

Wish became relieved after one column got completed. She could finally focus on the game. 15 minutes had passed but no one tapped the bell. Wish couldnt believe almost half of her rows were completed. There left only 4 numbers to match.

Veronica sighed loudly by her side. Seems like the game wasnt going too well for her.

"no.5"

She cut it and internally prayed that the emcee would call out 20. Her hands grasped the pen tightly, sweats forming. This was super nerve wrecking.

"no....20!"

Wish almost jumped from her seat and tapped the bell. " Bingo! we have the got the first winner....Miss.Wish Lennon, the elder daughter of the Lennon manufactures and also the fiancee of Mr.William Brent of the Brent company!"

A loud applause was heard from the crowd. William couldnt believe she won the game. It really came off as a surprise.

She walked on the stage and waited for the next winner to be announced. Praying internally, she hoped her father didnt win it. In a few seconds, another person was appointed, thankfully.

" Time to present the winners with their prize." the emcee came forward and handed her an envelope. " This card will take you to the anonymous mastermind. Hope you will be successful with your future journey. we wish you a.....good luck."

The words sent chills down her spine. She had finally got the chance to forward her plans and she was going to take full advantage of it. After receiving her prize, her eyes caught father glaring at her. She glared back, going down the stage and finally took her seat.

" Congrats!" Caleb said, still shocked. In fact Wish herself was still shocked that she got the prize. She couldnt wait to meet that mastermind everyone were after.

" Goodbye!" Lisa said waving at Lucas. They were finally leaving and Lisa went from the cab alone. She didnt want to go yet but it was already pretty late and the party must have been over by now. Before her mother tracked her down, she needed to reach the house.

Thank god they hadnt arrived yet. She rested in her room, thinking about the sweet time she spent with Lucas. If only there were more days like these.

Shortly after, her mother barged in her room, making her jump. " Come at the dining hall."

By her face, mother looked really upset. What were they going to do her now? On the dining hall, her father kept mumbling things to himself. " Cant believe that girl won the prize. God knows what she has on her mind." he circled around the table.

" Honey, we know she cant do a thing. The mastermind has failed so many times." her mother added. Lisa had no idea what they were talking about. Probably stuffs that happened in the party.

" But if she gets in contact with THAT mastermind...." he said gritting his teeth, " Then there will be a big problem. That one has proven success ALL the time."

This time her mother didnt say anything, instead looked worried. Lisa remembered what she wanted to ask and spoke up, " Did Julia Wilson come?"

" Ohh not that girl!!" her mother sighed loudly.

" Of course! that girl and her father popped at the party out of nowhere. Are they not even ashamed of showing up at the party?" her father banged on the table, " We should have kicked them out way before!"

" Kick them...why??" Lisa said confused. Julia Wilson did come at the party after all.

Her father finally took a seat, rubbing his forehead, " One unwanted thing will ruin the whole damn plan."

These talks were getting way confusing every time. The thing she Was sure of, was that they didnt wanted the Wilsons back. Her father and the rest of the elite family were planning something together.

" What plan father?"

He slowly looked up, realising what he had just blurted. Lisa wasnt allowed to know about The plan and out of stress he said it out loud.

" Melissa dear....i will tell you the plan but make sure you dont say it anyone. Got it?"

Lisa stayed silent for sometime but then finally nodded, " I will make sure about it, father."
