Chapter 105 The Proposal, as Beautiful as a Painting
“Stop making a scene here before things get bad for you.” A guard spoke in a stern voice.
“Humph! I’m going in, let’s see what you can do to stop me!” Beatrice snorted and walked inside.
Before she could take two steps, she was pushed to the ground by a guard.
“Get them all out of here!”
“Yes, sir.” Several people responded at once and then drove them away.
“Ah… I’m pissed! I won’t let him get away with this…” Beatrice yelled fiercely with an angry expression on her face.
Meanwhile, Billy’s cars had already arrived about three kilometers away from Ozin Square. Along this route, their two cars attracted countless people’s attention. Especially the convertible Porsche that caused envy among passersby. Many people whispered and speculated whether they were tonight’s main characters or not.
Hearing these voices from passersby made Harleen feel embarrassed, and she had an impulse to tell everyone that they were just there as spectators joining in on the fun.
“Wow! It looks so beautiful!”
Watching the scene before her eyes, Harleen couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
A red carpet stretched along the main road all the way to the entrance of Ozin Plaza Square. Every ten meters along both sides of it were placed brightly colored flower baskets and every hundred meters was an arch made of balloons.
In addition, there were two hundred guards in brocade clothes standing in nice vertical stance like spears on both sides of the road. As they saw Billy’s car, they saluted in silence.
“Why are they saluting us?” Harleen asked in confusion.
“This is their etiquette. Anyone who can drive a car in here represents a certain status, so they salute to welcome them!” Billy smiled and explained.
“That’s amazing,” Harleen said skeptically as she looked at Billy for confirmation.
Not long after that, their two cars slowly approached Ozin Plaza Square.
At this moment, the square was already crowded with people and there were hundreds of guards standing at the railings around the square. What surprised Harleen most was that the entire square was covered with thick rose petals like an ocean of flowers.
“How romantic!” Harleen couldn’t help but exclaim again.
She thought, if a woman could have such a proposal experience once in her life, she would have no regrets. But it was a fleeting thought.
As Harleen was still marveling at the scene, Billy stepped on the gas pedal with force and the Porsche roared out of the square.
“Ah…” Harleen shouted, “Billy, the parking lot is on the left side! You’re going the wrong way! Stop…”
In the Land Rover behind them, Fletcher, Sharon and their younger daughter were all startled by Billy as well. They knew very well that everything on this square was prepared for tonight’s leading man and woman. If Billy stepped on it now… it would be trouble!
“Casey, you need to stop Billy, or we’ll be in big trouble tonight.” Felicia reacted first.
“Hurry up or it’ll be too late!”
“Don’t worry about it.” Casey responded after smiling.
“What does that mean?” Felicia was slightly stunned.
“Mr and Mrs Knight, Felicia, it’s okay, I promise everything will be fine.” Casey reassured them.
Vroom!
As they spoke, the Porsche had already arrived at the center of the square. Immediately after that, Billy manipulated the steering wheel with one hand while pulling up on handbrake with another hand. The accelerator and brake were coordinated simultaneously as the Porsche drifted several circles on top of thick petals before stopping steadily in place.
The bright rose petals were swirling in mid-air while almost at same time when the Porsche entered into square. Lily petals fell down from the rooftop of Ozin Tower like snowflakes.
The scene on the square was as beautiful as a painting.
“Wow! It’s so beautiful!” There were bursts of admiration from the crowd. Many women had an expression of infatuation and envy on their faces.
“Are they the main characters tonight?”
“Obviously! Otherwise, how could they have the right to drive straight into the square?”
“What a nice car! And look at her, she’s so stunning! And the man beside her is so handsome. What a perfect match!”
“…”
“Hey, Billy, why did you drive inside here? You’ve caused trouble now…” Harleen was anxious as she spoke inside of car.
“Shh!” Billy made a hushing gesture with a smile. “Harleen, watch the fireworks!”
Instantly, there was a loud noise above the entire restricted area that shook the whole city.
“Wow, so beautiful!”
Everyone looked up at the sky and let out exclamations of amazement. A total of 1, 800 fireworks lit up the entire sky for almost ten minutes before finally stopping. Following this were 1, 800 lanterns slowly rising into space with each one bearing an inscription on it.
“Wow! I haven’t seen this many lanterns in ages!”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“This is so romantic!” exclaimed one of the onlookers.
“I’m so jealous!”
“…”
The crowd once again exclaimed in wonder.
A few minutes later, just as everyone was still marveling at the sky lanterns, 1, 800 unmanned aerial vehicles appeared in their line of sight. Except for the one in the center, all of them were arranged in an orderly heart shape and slowly flew into restricted airspace.
“Look, it’s Heart of the Earth!” shouted another.
In the next moment, a gasp echoed through the crowd and everyone looked up simultaneously.
The central drone had a thin steel wire hanging from underneath it with a gemstone necklace attached to its end. Underneath all those lights and colors it shone brightly like nothing else before, exquisite beyond measure.
It was the world-renowned treasure, Heart of the Earth!
“It really is Heart of The Earth! So beautiful!” murmured someone from within the crowd.
In the Porsche, Harleen was already beside herself with emotion. Tears streamed down her face as she wept uncontrollably. Ever since Billy parked the car and asked her to watch the fireworks, she had a suspicion in her heart, because she saw a line of words on the nearest sky lantern, which read “Wishing Harleen a lifetime of happiness!”
As soon as she saw that line of words, tears flowed uncontrollably down her cheeks.
It turned out that today’s sensational city-wide proposal event was actually prepared by Billy for her!
Billy was fulfilling his promise to make her the envy of all women!
No wonder he had been avoiding discussing marriage certificates with him; no wonder he promised that he would give everyone in her family an excellent viewing position tonight; no wonder he had the right to drive directly into restricted areas.
It turned out he had made prepared everything early on.
