She understood how beneficial it would be for her to remember the ones who started believing in her first. Especially those who were hard-working and spread the word about her.
In just a matter of seconds, Andrea gave her the ten names he had picked.
"Um, they are good. Post them. I will send a complimentary post after," Diamond instructed.
While Andrea was busy posting the names, Diamond was drafting another post.
Moments later, below the post with the ten lucky winners, another one appeared.
[DIAMOND: The ten above are the lucky ones to have won the cash reward of A$1,000 each. Please send your method of payment to my inbox. Thank you once again for participating and have a Merry Christmas.]
Below the posts, the followers were going crazy, and it was more so for those who weren’t lucky.
However, Diamond didn’t have time to entertain these people as she instructed Andrea to keep an eye out for the real winners. She knew that several people would be bombarding her inbox, and she didn’t want to waste her time with them.
[OMG! I just saw a familiar name. I can’t believe that she really won!]
[Why am not that lucky?]
[Why do I have a feeling that those who won are paid followers?]
[I won. Hahaha. The bet worked!]
[I will only believe when I see the proof.]
While the online comments were raging, Andrea was also busy blocking any degrading comments and at the same time verifying the winners’ payment methods.
While sitting inside her car, Diamond received a call and a helpless smile appeared on her face.
’What does she want again?’ she couldn’t help but lament as she swiped the screen to answer.
"Hello!"
[Big sis! You are not fair!] An aggrieved cry sounded from the other side of the phone.
Diamond heaved a sigh of relief as she found her current situation to be quite helpful. She wasn’t using her headset, and the phone was on loudspeaker, so the cry didn’t bombard her ears directly.
She didn’t know how irritated she would have been if that cry had sounded in her ear.
"What did I do again?" seeing that the other wasn’t going to be giving up anytime soon, she asked helplessly.
[Big sis! Why didn’t we win?]
"Ha!" Diamond was stunned when she heard that.
"You called because you didn’t win?" Diamond found the caller’s grievance to be very unexpected.
[Yes, we contributed a lot too. So why aren’t we there too?]
"Haha. Don’t tell me you were eyeing that money?" Diamond laughed out loud as she found the situation to be hilarious.
[Who doesn’t like money?]
"I beg, girl. Can’t you let those that truly need the money, have it?"
[Who said that I don’t need it? It’s not every day I get to win. I don’t care. I need to win too!]
Diamond couldn’t stop laughing as she continued to listen to the girl’s hilarious demands.
[You need to do something!]
"Fine, fine, fine. How about I host another one before the New Year? I will let you and your sister win a reward. What do you think?" Diamond hurriedly thought of a solution and suggested it to the girl on the phone.
[Sister! You are very good to us!]
"If I am not good to you. Who else will I be good to?"
[Exactly! Sister, you only have a few young siblings. So please continue to spoil us!] the other shamelessly said.
If it wasn’t that Diamond was used to that, she would have hung up the call already. However, she was all smiles as she listened to that.
She indeed didn’t have many siblings as her parents only had two of them. And after meeting the girls and other friends of hers who loved calling her sister, the feeling of being an elder sibling was becoming addictive.
"I will spoil you. So don’t cry all the time, okay?" Diamond said in a doting tone.
[Hehe, I know that big sister loves us. Did you hear that, Precious?]
Although going out and getting some fresh air sounded nice and pleasing to the ears. Diamond didn’t have time for that.
It would take a while for the buildings to be completed. At least she wanted them to be done before she left for Frin.
At the same time, she didn’t have any real friends she kept in touch with in Taco, which means that being at home would be the best or she might as well just go out and make a few friends. However, she wasn’t willing to do that.
Diamond’s chores were piling and with everyone not home at the moment and with three days until Christmas, Diamond needed to work extremely hard if she wanted to improve herself.
So, when she got home, the first thing she did was to change out of the clothes she had worn earlier
and put them into the laundry basket before wearing overalls and rubber shoes.
Dressed like that, Diamond flashed into the Golden space and began to do manual labor. Something that would make her parents and Ruby suspect that she was possessed.
When had they ever seen her doing something so hard like that?
However, inside her space, Diamond was reduced to a farmer who had to use her hands to work for everything.
After planting the crops, the other time, she was gratified to find them all mature. In other words, it was time for her to start harvesting before she planted a second round of crops again.
So, while her family was having fun outside, she was busy sweating as she harvested the vegetables and herbs from the field.
Everything she got, she placed them in the baskets and on the racks she had prepared on a day like this.
She didn’t know how long it took, but what she knew was that she only left the space after harvesting a quarter. The harvest was bountiful and couldn’t be finished in one go.
When she left the Golden space, she changed out of the overalls and rubber shoes.
She was glad when she saw that there was still time before dinner was supposed to be made. So, she returned to the Golden space once again.
This time she didn’t harvest anything but started going on a treasure hunt. What more could be frustrating than finding alchemy books but no cauldron to concoct the pills?
She didn’t even have the fire to use when concocting. However, she had a feeling that the space was hiding something. The previous owner or owners might have hidden a few things in those hills.
As long as she searches seriously, she might find something. It was unfortunate that Andrea couldn’t be connected to the Golden space, otherwise, she would have used him to easily check if there was anything else.
Unfortunately, she was doomed to work hard by herself.
