Chapter 27: Fireworks in the Sky
Skyview's loud voice naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Connor especially was furious at Skyview for daring to interfere with his plans. He glared at Skyview and asked, "Skyview, are you intentionally causing trouble?"
"Of course not!" Skyview replied. "I'm just here to state something!"
"What do you want to say?" Connor frowned.
Skyview sneered. "You can't just use some cheap roses to win women's hearts. Besides, by making such a gesture in front of her friends; you just want to force her to say yes. So, I look down on you!"
"What? You look down on me?" Connor was enraged. "You, a delivery guy, have no right to look down on me!"
"With the 9999 roses you sent, they are practically worthless! According to my estimate, each rose is worth only one dollar, so 9999 roses isn't even ten thousand dollars!" Skyview chuckled. "With such a gesture, you dare to pursue Willow? Beauties deserve rich men, not failures like you. You should just go home and watch porn!"
Skyview's contempt was obvious.
Although Connor appeared wealthy, he was insignificant compared to Skyview.
Skyview's disdain deeply hurt Connor's pride.
In Connor's eyes, Skyview was just a mere delivery guy who claimed to be a billionaire, daring to belittle him. For Connor, that was intolerable!
"You fool! Even if you delivered packages for a year, you wouldn't earn a hundred thousand dollars! You are simply foolish and lack self-awareness!" Connor angrily retorted.
"You are just a pathetic delivery guy. How dare you look down on Mr. Mitchell? He is far superior to you!" Melody said with a disgusted expression.
Yvonne immediately supported Connor's attack on Skyview, saying, "Skyview, don't bring this upon yourself. Willow is exceptional and deserves to be with elites like Mr. Mitchell! And you, you just need to mind your business, yes, your delivery business. "
"Willow, is your university classmate Skyview out of his mind? He's just a delivery guy, yet he dares to challenge Mr. Mitchell. How shameless is he?" Melody advised Willow earnestly.
"Imagine a pauper daring to mock Mr. Mitchell!"
"Skyview, can't you be less shameless?"
Not only did Willow's female friends and colleagues condemn Skyview in unison, but even strangers nearby couldn't bear it.
"Jealous of the wealthy! Skyview is blatantly envious of the rich!"
"Such a narrow-minded person can't achieve much. Perhaps he'll be delivering packages for life!"
"Those who don't know their status are destined to fail in society!"
Onlookers also expressed disdain toward Skyview.
Connor suddenly felt pity and looked at Skyview with a compassionate expression, waving him off. "Get lost! You have no right to compete with me for Willow!"
"You all don't know what true wealth is!" Skyview laughed heartily. "You think 9999 roses make you rich? I should show you what a real grand gift looks like! Willow, I have also prepared a birthday gift for you. My present is also flower-like, but my present is much better than roses!"
"You've prepared a birthday gift for Willow too?" Connor sneered. "I'm curious to see what gift you have!"
"Did you pick some wildflowers from the field as treasures?" Yvonne said, insulting Skyview.
"I bet that's true!" Melody mocked.
Ignoring them, Skyview took out his phone.
"You can't even afford an iPhone, yet you think you're impressive?" Yvonne continued attacking Skyview.
"I recognize the model of this phone, but I've never seen this one before. It's probably a knockoff, right?" Melody remarked.
Connor felt something was amiss because he noticed the exquisite craftsmanship of Skyview's phone.
"Let's begin, countdown 30 seconds," Skyview said to his custom phone.
With that, Skyview turned off his phone and said to Willow, "Due to pollution, the city's night sky no longer shows stars. This kind of sky feels lonely and dull. So tonight, I've specially lit up the entire city's night sky for you. Would you like to see it?"
"Of course," Willow replied, getting up.
Skyview reached out his hand to Willow.
After a moment of hesitation, Willow took his hand.
Skyview held Willow's hand and walked toward the door.
Connor's face contorted with jealousy. Clenching his fists, he shouted, "You scoundrel! I want to see what tricks you can pull off!"
Meanwhile, Skyview led Willow outside.
Curious onlookers followed, eager to see what Skyview had prepared.
"Look at the sky," Skyview said to Willow.
Everyone looked up at the sky.
"There's nothing in the sky," Connor was about to say, but suddenly fell silent.
Explosions rang out, and one after another, fireworks bloomed in the night sky. These dazzling fireworks were fleeting but continuous, lighting up every corner of the city.
A truly grand gift!
The brilliant fireworks reflected on everyone's faces, leaving them all stunned.
Willow was genuinely moved. She hadn't expected Skyview to give her such a grand gift.
"Do you like it, Willow?" Skyview asked softly. "Tonight, I've lit up the city for you. Only such dazzling fireworks, only such breathtaking beauty, are can match your own."
"Thank you, Skyview!" Willow expressed her gratitude.
Roses were too cliché for Willow. But this city-wide fireworks show did move her.
It was incredibly romantic!
Fireworks filling the sky, all for Willow!
This was a level of romance no woman could resist!
