“He’s right. The organizers should’ve verified the participants‘ identity. If anyone can ask for help from


    outsiders, that wouldn’t be fair.”


    “I agree. They must disqualify the first prize winner.”


    Ginger hugged the box tightly, her voice choking. “B–But we won the first ce. This is mine!”


    The surrounding adults red at her, demanding her to relinquish the first–ce prize.


    “Ginger!” Mia almost shed tears of joy the moment she caught sight of Ginger. Mia took huge strides


    and


    embraced her daughter.


    The feeling of her daughter in her arms made her feel alive.


    Ginger was first stunned to see her mother. Then, her lips pouted and she cried, “Mommy, I miss you!”


    “I miss you too. How could you run outside all alone? Do you know how worried I was?” The anger


    subsided half the moment she found Ginger. She nted kisses on Ginger. “Why are you crying?”


    Ginger tightened her arms around the prize. “Mommy, we won the first ce. This is my prize.”


    “That’s wrong, kid! As we said, you’re unqualified for thepetition. Your win is invalid. We won the


    first ce, so this should be ours.”


    Mia stood up, looking at the family of three, who were clothed in branded logos as though trying to tell


    the world the brand they were wearing.


    The middle–aged woman was also wearing a leopard fur coat.


    Mia’s eyes sized them up before she responded calmly. “But my daughter won first ce. The prize


    should be hers.”


    The staff exined, “Miss, the objective of our event is to have the parents join with the kids. Your child


    has clearly broken the rules, so we must disqualify her. Please return the prize to us.”


    Ginger turned around, burying her face in Mia’s clothes. She didn’t want to hand over the prize.


    “Indeed, that is the rule. But you should’ve filtered out the contestants and informed them of the rules


    before thepetition started.


    “Since you didn’t say anything when she first joined thepetition, that means her participation was


    epted. How could you tell her that she’s disqualified right now?” Mia’s tone carried more weight of


    solemnity this time.


    How could they bully a child just because their parents weren’t around?


    Convinced by her reasonings, the staff looked at the middle–aged couple. “She has a point.”


    Their son began to throw a tantrum. “I don’t care! I want to be the first–ce winner!”


    The middle–aged woman primped her coat, her voice was squeaky. “I don’t care! I bought the VIP


    tickets.


    I bet this little kid bought the normal ticket. Are you sure you want to upset us because of an ordinary


    visitor?”


    The staff was driven to a tight corner. for you?”


    “Why don’t we get another first–ce prize

    “No! I want the one she’s holding!”


    What a stalemate.


    The middle–aged man stepped forward and ogled at Mia. “Why don’t you have your daughter hand


    over


    that? The staff can give you a new one.”


    Mia scoffed lightly at his shameless attitude.
