Beyond the Divorce

Chapter 1346 The Unexpected First Prize



Atlas immediately looked at Pauline with a scholarly demeanor and asked, "When did the rescue happen?"

Pauline glanced weakly at the woman, and the bold, robust woman immediately stepped forward and spoke on her behalf. "Her husband's name is Coleman Darrell."

The emcee promptly extended the microphone to the woman, and her voice echoed through the microphone.

"He used to be a technician at Keller's Dairy. He rescued a little boy five years ago while traveling home from work. A car nearly hit the boy while he was crossing the street. Her husband selflessly rushed forward, pulled the child back, and pushed him out of harm's way, but he was hit and run over by the car."

"Oh... that really did happen!"

"It was controversial at the time. I can't remember the man's name, but he was a technician at Keller's Dairy."

People started whispering to each other.

"This incident was reported in the newspapers five years ago. Everyone in Gerby knows about it. When her husband saved the child and pushed him away, he got scratched, and the child's parents sued him! Keller's Dairy said they wouldn't interfere because it was her husband's personal business." "Keller's Dairy?" I asked, "Wasn't it called Chandler's Dairy five years ago?"

"Yes! It was the Chandler family!" The woman nodded firmly.

"Her husband was a victim! There was quite a bit of discussion about this incident at the time. Everyone knew it was happening." The woman looked arrogantly at the people who were arguing about it.

"In the end, the child's parents dropped the charges and apologized to her husband after mediation, but they only bought them some fruit and never showed up again. Pauline and her husband paid all the medical expenses!"

The discussion below gradually quieted down.

The woman continued, "Isn't that despicable? And now you're saying it was fake? How disappointing! Who will dare save anyone after this? Her family used to be well-off, but now they're penniless! Her husband has developed medical issues because oblong-term bed rest, but they can't afford to go to the hospital!"

Her words made me feel sad. I couldn't help but look at Pauline, who was silently enduring this with her head lowered.

I looked at Atlas, who had been listening intently the whole time.

His expression was serious, too.

The woman saw that everyone was listening attentively and took advantage of the opportunity to pull Pauline forward. "Look at her. She's so sickly she can hardly even sweep the streets anymore. Luckily, her daughter is sensible and works while studying to help support the family. Things must be hard for the child!

"Why are you all so unkind? If it were your family, what would you do?" The woman became angrier as she spoke, her voice becoming louder and more cutting.

Those who had raised objections before were now silent, unable to retort.

Before the woman could finish speaking, the big screen in the background flashed and displayed the news report of the accident where Pauline's husband had rescued a child.

Atlas turned and stood before the screen, looking at the accident footage.

Pauline, who was still on stage, couldn't help but burst into tears.

The crowd fell silent. Everyone looked up at the screen with faces full of emotion.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

I hurried over to comfort Pauline.

Then, Atlas's maic voice

resounded through the venue. "Since everyone has seen the facts, you should a respect this woman! The retail price of the bracelet provided by Sautoir Fine Jewelry is 50 grand. It will be exchanged for cash on the spot for Ms. Pauline!"

The shock below turned to admiration, and everyone looked up at Atlas on stage with eyes full of admiration.
