Winner Takes All novel Chapter 163

Amber’s face was dyed with a reddish hue.

When the misunderstanding had been resolved, she no longer had any grudge in her heart.

All she could feel at the moment was a longing for the moment when he proposed to her.

She had been waiting for this exact scene for three whole years!

Three years ago, she was the bridesmaid who personally saw Jack and Katherine enter the marriage hall with her own eyes.

The next day, she had promptly gone overseas.

During those three years, his figure could never be erased from her mind, and for his sake she had rejected countless pursuers which hailed from wealthy and noble families.

And now… her wish had finally come true.

“Amber… you must maintain your image. You can’t let the Knight family lose face.” Steve suddenly reminded her.

Rosie who was beside them howled, “What kind of father are you? This is our daughter’s once in a lifetime experience. Why are you telling her to maintain any sort of image? You are saying this now because you are feeling ashamed for scolding Jack just now, aren’t you?”

Her sharp words immediately revealed Steve’s inner musings.

Steve could only scratch his head and smile earnestly.

Around the TM Villa District, lights were shimmering everywhere.

There was a stage in the center of the courtyard, and all of the employees of DT real estate agency had gathered around the stage.

Jack had even invited some who were not in his industry to his proposal event.

Nevertheless, everyone was at a loss when they watched Jack fled the scene in a car. This was not something they would expect.

This event tonight was supposed to be Jack’s proposal ceremony.

Despite that, not only that the female lead hadn’t arrived yet, the male lead was gone just like that?

“Mable, what is going on here?” Artist was a little shocked, “Does this happen because Steve, that old geezer, has lost his temper for some reason?”

“Bullshit, you think that Steve’s temper is worse than yours?” Director Lansing rolled his eyes at Artist.

Minister Mable had a meaningful look on his face as he sighed softly, “They really have a real bond there. I hope Steve doesn’t spoil this.”

Director Lansing nodded in agreement while Artist still had a very lost expression on his face.

The three of them were cordially invited here by Jack.

They were all Steve’s long-time friends as well as Amber’s seniors.

They had to be present on this meaningful day.

“They’re here!”

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted.

On a mountain path not far away, two strong rays of light that belonged to a Rolls-Royce illuminated the crowd.

“Everybody back to their positions!”

Corbin immediately ordered, and the employees of DT real estate agency all dispersed and got ready for the main event.

On one side, Mr. Ward, Sophie and Daisy were standing in the shadows while watching a Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Benz G-class rolling into the courtyard.

Mr. Ward stealthily produced his phone to send a text message: Sir, everything is ready.

With a screeching sound, both cars stopped.

Jack first emerged from the car, and he hurriedly came to the G-class car to open the door.

“Amber, follow me!”

He reached out his right hand and held Amber’s hand to lead her.

The two of them slowly walked side by side to the stage.

Steve and Rosie got off the vehicle next, and they immediately saw Minister Mable and the lot near the stage.

The couple hastened their paces and Steve let out an exclaim, “Wh—Why are you guys here?”

“We are the witnesses, of course.” Minister Mable let out a laugh before transforming his tone, “Perhaps you will be the happiest one here tonight.”

Steve waved his hand to dismiss him, “Don’t mention it, I’ve just experienced some anguish at the bottom of the hill.”

Before they could ask what happened, the glow of light cast on the stage gradually dimmed.

Jack led Amber to the center of the stage.

“Are you ready?” Jack asked with a smile.

Amber took in a deep breath and nodded.

“Look at the screen!”

Jack raised his head to check out the screen.

Almost at the same time, the screen started to glow.

A flurry of photographs came into view, and they were changing slowly.

Amber immediately covered her mouth with her hand to suppress a gasp.

“Ar—Are these photos from our university days?”

“I have managed to find them!”

Jack nodded solemnly.

Amber was astonished as she stared at those flickering photos. She felt like she was in a dream.

There were some scenes in those photos which she had completely forgotten about.

Jack must have put in a lot of efforts to compile these photos!

The kind of proposal she imagined was not one that was earth-shattering, but rather one that was touching and bringing back memories.

As the photos continued to be displayed continuously, the song “You, my deskmate” was being played in the background.

In an instant, the melody transported Amber back to her university days.

The doors to her memories were flung open just like that.

Countless dormant memories were awakened, which also reflected the scenes portrayed by those photos.

In no time, her eyes which were already reddened started to fill with tears again.

Jack reached out and thumbed away the tears from the corners of her eyes as he teased, “You fool, this is nothing much, yet you are going to cry now?”

“Isn’t this enough reason for me to cry?” Amber retorted.

She couldn’t even remember that some of those scenes had really happened in her life if it were not for those photos. Jack must have done everything in his ability to gather all of these.

However, Jack simply said with a smile, “You are my woman now. How are those photos enough?”

At the same time, with a loud crackling sound, a series of fireworks were shot into the night sky.

They spread out and exploded and formed images of flowers with the night sky as the background.

The sound of fireworks continued for a very long time.

…

The night sky was as bright as day with countless fireworks exploding all around them.

Images of marvelous flowers dyed the night sky a myriad of colors.

The fireworks had filled every space possible in the air and illuminated the whole TM Villa District.

The dazzling bright lights were there to congratulate the loveliest couple present at the scene!

Jack hugged Amber and together they silently watched the fireworks while standing on the stage.

Amber had an expression of shock on her face. She couldn’t avert her eyes from the dazzling explosion of colors in the sky.

The others present also let out gasps here and there as they were amazed by the fireworks.

Not only that, due to strict regulations, all members of mass media were not allowed to ascend the hill.

Despite that, with the night sky glowing up with all sorts of colors, the reporters were in a frenzied state too.

They couldn’t stop aiming their cameras at the peak of hill to record every moment of this marvelous showing.

At the same time, the commotion on the hill also caused a stir among the citizens at the bottom of the hill.

The restricted regulations of TM Villa District had attracted the attention of the whole city, but now that the night sky was as clear as day, the citizens were astounded to say the least.

Everyone was curious as to what had gone down in TM Villa District.

They couldn’t comprehend the fireworks which were earth-shattering and were filling the heavens completely.

In the end, a huge image of a heart penetrated by an arrow was displayed in the sky.

The whole city was in an uproar.

This was a proposal!

Someone was proposing right now!

Oh my god, who was proposing on the hill of TM Villa District?

Not only they had sealed off the hill, they were flaunting their love to the world in such an extravagant way!

In the TM Villa District, Amber stared at the beautiful image of a heart pierced by an arrow with a look of pleasant surprise on her face.

At the moment, her heart was pounding furiously, as if it was going to jump out of her ribcage.

“We are already at this stage now?”

Despite getting herself prepared for the pivotal moment, but when she laid eyes on the image of a heart pierced by an arrow, with the next scene coming up very soon, she still felt herself overcome with nervousness.

Nevertheless, Jack’s melodic and gentle voice calmed her, “This is not the end yet. You love roses, right? How can I not prepare that?”

With that being said, a huge fluttering sound came from afar. It was the sound made by rotating propellers that belonged to helicopters.

Five helicopters emerged from the night sky and were heading in their direction swiftly.

Five rays of light shone down from those helicopters and they were focused on Jack and Amber on the stage.

In the next second, it was raining flowers all around them.

Countless flower petals were dancing in the air as they shrouded the couple.

It was as if they had stumbled upon a magical world.

The crowd broke into an uproar once again.

Amber stared at the fluttering flower petals and was once again sunk into a reverie.

She didn’t even notice that Jack who was still by his side had slowly kneeled down on one knee…
