“I agree. They must disqualify the first prize winner.”
Ginger hugged the box tightly, her voice choking. “B–But we won the first place. This is mine!”
The surrounding adults glared at her, demanding her to relinquish the first–place 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!”

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