Winner Takes All novel Chapter 164

“Amber, thanks for staying by my side through thick and thin.” It was when Amber heard Jack’s tender voice that she shivered and came to her senses.

In the fireworks filled sky, she slowly lowered her head and saw Jack on one knee. At that moment, Amber felt that there were only Jack and her in the entire world. Even the five helicopters whirling above them seemed to have disappeared.

“Three years of waiting for your love.” Jack was very serious and his voice was very tender. The way he said it was full of passion and pierced straight into Amber’s heart.

“I once said that how can I bear to let you lose when you wagered your entire life. In the future, I hope that you will always be by my side!” Once he said the last sentence, Jack took out a ready prepared diamond ring.

Under the spotlight, he slowly opened the box. At that moment, red light radiated from the box. Amber was stunned and was totally captivated by the diamond ring in Jack’s hand. The dazzling red lights that seem to only exist in fairy tales.

Not far away, Steve and Rosie looked stunned at each other.

Steve’s jaw dropped and said, “Ruby Diamond? Oh my God! Such a big Ruby diamond! It must be worth hundreds of millions of yuan. Is Jack insane?”

“Insane? Ha!” Minister Mable laughed, “What’re hundreds of million? Even if it’s a billion yuan it is no surprise.”

Steve’s face turned red and he struggled to comprehend.

Just at that moment.

On the stage and in the spotlight, Jack finally said those words, “Amber, please agree to marry me. From now till forever, in good and bad times, sickness and health, never will we part.”

Kaboom!

Amber heard a loud sound in her mind. Immediately her beautiful eyes became hazy.

The wait. Three years of waiting. She had always been thinking of this moment. Now her dreams had come true and all her emotions erupted at this moment. There wasn’t a trace of hesitation. Amber nodded excitedly and extended her right hand.

Jack smiled and took out the Ruby Diamond ring and was about to put it onto Amber’s finger.

Suddenly, in the night sky a distance away, the deafening sound of rolling thunder can be heard. The sound was loud and blanketed the entire land. It was as if the Army of the heavens were charging towards them. The sound enveloped the entire TM hills and rocked the entire city.

“What’s happening?” Everyone on the TM hills was puzzled.

Even Jack looked bewildered.

At this time, hidden in the darkness, Mr. Ward took up the microphone and shouted, “Master Hughes… this is something prepared for you by Old Master.”

Father?!

Jack was shocked and his hand paused as he was putting on the ring on Amber’s finger.

Just at that moment, Minister Mable’s expression suddenly changed and shouted, “Fighter jets, they are sounds of fighter jets!”

What?! When they heard the Minister’s surprise remark, everyone stood frozen on the spot as if they were struck by lightning. Why were fighter jets present for a wedding proposal? The fighter jets were already over the skies of TM Hills and were flying above the helicopters. Everyone was shocked to see the fighter formation flying overhead.

There were… twenty fighter jets!

Boom!

The next second, all twenty jets flew vertically straight up and the plume of the exhaust illuminated the sky. Following that, every fighter jet started to release colored smoke, and when they combined, they formed a colorful rainbow.

There were twenty stripes of colors that filled the sky. It was like a colorful curtain that covered the entire TM Hills.

Wow…

Everyone present remarked and screamed. This scene far surpassed all that had occurred. It was a beautiful and grand sight.

“Master Hughes… what are you waiting for?” Mr. Ward reminded Jack who became distracted by the colorful sky.

Jack smiled and quickly put the ring onto Amber’s ring finger. When he stood up, he brought Amber into his embrace and smiled lovingly, “From today onwards, you belong only to me.”

Amber looked at him like she was dreaming. Everything that happened that night was like a dream to her.

The roar of the fighter jets and the colorful stripes in the sky mixed to form a multi-colored cloud. She could only dare to dream of these. In her dreams, she longed for a man in golden armor that rode on rainbow-colored clouds to proposed to her.

They all came true today!

Although Jack wasn’t wearing golden armor and he wore a business suit, the rainbow-colored clouds were indeed present. Even if it was only half of her dreams, they were enough to move Amber to tears.

She remained in Jack’s embrace and she looked at the colorful skies and said, “Thanks…”

The colorful clouds persisted for about ten minutes. Finally, the twenty fighter jets roared at the same time and disappeared into the night sky.

The people on the ground returned to the darkness at the TM Hills. The appearance of the fighters left a lasting impression on everyone. Not only were the staff of DT Agency shocked, even Minister Mable, Steve, and others who were used to seeing grandiose events were stunned by the display.

“Fighter jets, how did… Jack get the fighter jets?” Steve was shocked and muttered. Fighter jets were weapons of war! How could they be used for a wedding proposal?

Then, Minster Mable chuckled, “If you’ve seen Jack’s family travel, their flight is escorted by fighter jets, then you won’t be surprised by what happened tonight.”

Escorted by fighter jets? Steve, Rosie, Director Lansing, and Artist Warnock all looked at Minister Mable in shock.

At this moment, Mr. Ward walked out of the dark towards the stage. Sophie was accompanied by Daisy followed behind.

“Mom, Mr. Ward.” Jack brought Amber forward.

“Okay, okay, henceforth we are one family. Jack, if you dare to bully Amber, I will give you a good beating!” Sophie smiled warmly and held Amber’s hand lovingly, “Amber, thanks for being with Jack through his toughest period. Jack is so fortunate to be able to marry you.”

“Thanks Auntie,” Amber said shyly. Although she had seen Sophie countless times, tonight the feeling was totally different.

“Where are your parents? We are relatives from now on. We need to meet.” Sophie smiled warmly.

Amber turned to the other side of the stage and said, “There they are.” She raised her hand and pointed.

Steve and Rosie were still stunned by what Minister Mable just said and didn’t realize what Amber had signaled to them. It was Minister Mable who patted Steve’s shoulder, “Steve, go ahead, remember not to be too excited afterward.”

“Ah, it’s just meeting Jack’s parents. Why should I be excited?” Steve raised his eyebrow and was dismissive about it.

Minister Mable smiled, “You must be the happiest one tonight.”

Steve totally didn’t take notice and held Rosie’s hand and walked towards the stage. Except, when he got nearer to the stage and he could see clearer, Steve’s gaze fell upon Mr. Ward and couldn’t look away. He frowned deeply. It was a feeling of familiarity and it became more and more intense…
