Chapter 29: Helicopter
At this moment, the fireworks had ceased.
Skyview held Willow's hand affectionately.
Connor watched with jealousy.
"Skyview, why don't you bring out your luxury car? I want to see what kind of car you have. Can it compare to my Ferrari?" Connor provocatively said to Skyview.
"Where's your Ferrari?" Skyview replied with a smile.
"It's on the way!" Connor said, "It might be stuck in traffic, taking half an hour to arrive!"
"Mine is stuck in traffic too, also taking half an hour," Skyview chuckled.
Now, while Skyview and Connor were competing in wealth, the others hesitated to get involved.
Calling for a Ferrari clearly indicated wealth.
Although Skyview's car was unknown, being able to ignite fireworks throughout the city naturally indicated his wealth.
Now, as Skyview and Connor both seemed to be wealthy, no one knew whom to support.
"Why are we waiting outside? Let's go back and celebrate Willow's birthday!" Skyview suggested, taking Willow back to the restaurant.
"Skyview, thank you," Willow suddenly said to Skyview. "This is the best birthday gift I've ever had!"
"How do you plan to thank me?" Skyview smirked.
Willow rolled her eyes at Skyview and said, "What do you want me to do?"
Skyview replied, "How about marrying me?"
"Get lost!" Willow said.
Skyview smiled.
Connor watched Skyview and Willow flirt, feeling increasingly irritated, silently cursing at them.
Everyone returned to their seats, but the meal was quite simple. Willow's female friends and colleagues alternated between complimenting Skyview and Connor, trying not to offend either of the two wealthy men.
Connor was very dissatisfied.
Meanwhile, Skyview and Willow sat together, reminiscing about their university days. As a billionaire, Skyview's confidence had swelled significantly, transforming his once dull personality into a cheerful and humorous one, greatly amusing Willow.
This made Connor even angrier, almost unable to resist blowing up, but he managed to restrain himself.
Finally, after about half an hour, the time had come.
Connor's phone rang.
Excitedly, Connor answered, saying, "Wait for me!"
Then, with a smile on his face, Connor turned to Skyview and said, "My Ferrari has arrived, would you like to come out and see it?"
"It's about time," Skyview said, "Let's go out and check the car."
With that, Skyview got up.
"Waiter, the bill!" Connor eagerly called the waiter to settle the bill.
Since Connor was eager to pay, Skyview saw no need to stop him. After all, this meal wouldn't cost much, even someone like Yvonne from the working class could afford it, which didn't reflect Connor's financial strength.
Connor's confidence had been greatly shaken by Skyview's extravagant fireworks display, and now he was trying hard to show off, but it only made him seem less confident compared to Skyview.
As everyone left, they indeed saw a red Ferrari.
The red Ferrari was parked in front of Connor.
A well-dressed driver got out of the car, bowed to Connor, and said, "Mr. Mitchell, your Ferrari is here."
"My goodness, it's really a Ferrari!"
"This car is so cool!"
"How rich is Connor's family, having not only a Ferrari but also a dedicated driver, impressive!"
Everyone was amazed for a moment.
After all, such a luxury car was rare.
Connor's self-esteem received a great boost.
"Willow, do you want me to take you home?" Connor said proudly. "My Ferrari has arrived. You won't get a ride in such a car many times in your life!"
Willow looked at Connor with a hint of amusement.
Connor was truly too arrogant.
"No need, I want to ride in Skyview's car." Willow knew Skyview's true worth, knowing that Skyview drove a Porsche, similar to Connor's Ferrari.
"Skyview's car?" Connor looked around and sneered, "My car has already arrived, but where is Skyview's car? I knew Skyview was pretending to be wealthy, he can't even show his car!"
"Really? Could it be that Skyview is truly pretending to be rich? But those fireworks must have cost a lot of money, right?" Yvonne found it hard to believe.
"As Mr. Mitchell said, Skyview bought the fireworks on credit, and those fireworks have depleted all of Skyview's wealth," Melody pointed out, noticing a loophole. "I went to the same school as Willow before, and I've never heard of a Skyview. If this Skyview is truly wealthy, I would have heard of him."
"Yeah, why hasn't Skyview's car arrived yet? Could it be that Skyview is really pretending to be wealthy? Maybe Skyview is actually broke?"
"If Skyview is pretending to be rich, then it's despicable!"
The world was just that real! Everyone's attitudes toward Skyview alternated frequently, based on speculation about his wealth.
If Skyview was pretending to be rich, everyone would think poorly of his character!
But if Skyview was wealthy and pretended to be poor, people would view him as modest and profound.
"Skyview, a beauty deserves a strong man, and one of the proofs of strength is a luxury car. Now that I've brought my Ferrari, where's your luxury car?" Connor grew confident. "You're not unable to bring it out, are you?"
"How could I not bring it out? It's just that my transport vehicle is too fast, I was afraid of scaring you all," Skyview said, pressing a red button.
Then, everyone heard a noise.
A black helicopter descended directly from the rooftop of the opposite building.
The helicopter landed in front of Skyview.
Everyone was stunned.
Connor was speechless.
He drove a Ferrari, but Skyview owned a helicopter!
Who was rich and who was poor became clear in an instant!
"I've always parked my helicopter on the rooftop of the opposite building, to save room for you poor people to park. I'm low-key and don't like to show off," Skyview said calmly.
From the helicopter, the pilot came down, bowed to Skyview, and said, "Mr. Scott, please board!"
