"The whole city is decorated, this is so extravagant!" Harleen looked at the festive mascots on both sides of the street and said in slight surprise.
"It means that guy must be devoted to his girlfriend, right?" asked Billy.
"Uh-huh!" Harleen nodded slightly.
After a brief pause, she spoke hesitantly, "Billy, I told you that I needed you to propose before I could say yes last time... I was just kidding. You-"
"Harleen, I promised you that I would propose to you and make you the happiest woman in the world. Trust me." Billy interrupted her with a smile.
"I don't need any fancy proposal ceremony..." Harleen took a deep breath and said.
"But, I just need to know that you truly love me and are sincere towards Tasha and my family. During this time together, I've felt it. So... I don't need..."
"Harleen, even if you didn't mention anything that day, I still would have proposed to you. And I'll make sure every woman in Ozin City envies you!" Billy interrupted her. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
"But..."
"Trust me, Harleen."
"Well then... it's up to you." Harleen spoke after a brief pause. She had already said everything she needed to say but it seemed like Billy still wasn't letting go; maybe he had other ideas after all. But thinking about the gap between herself and Billy once more made her feel a little disappointed.
Tonight's traffic in Ozin City was very congested.
Normally only a twenty-minute drive, it took Billy almost forty minutes to get near the entrance to the controlled area.
Looking around, Harleen saw that there were crowds of people at the entrance, but fortunately there were many staff members directing people into the controlled area. Although the sky was already dark, thousands of searchlights made the entire controlled area as bright as day.
"They're not letting cars in. Find a place to park and we'll walk in." Harleen reminded Billy when she saw he had no intention of parking.
"It's okay, I had my friend make arrangements for us. Our cars can go straight to Ozin Tower's parking lot."
"Is that true?" Harleen was slightly stunned. "Does your friend have that much authority?"
"Yeah, he knows a lot of people. It's easy for him." Billy responded with a smile.
"Hmm?" Just then, there was a surprised voice from someone in the crowd nearby
It was Beatrice Knight, her parents and several young descendants from her family. When they saw Billy and Harleen sitting inside their Porsche, Beatrice frowned tightly.
She not only failed to become the vice president responsible for marketing of the Knight Group but also got demoted by Zeph Knight by one level due to her poor performance which caused their family five million dollars loss. And so, even now she still hated both Billy and Harleen deeply for what happened last time.
"Isn't that Harleen? Using our money to buy such an expensive car? What a spendthrift!"Robert Knight also saw two people sitting in their Porsche from his car behind them. He clearly had
animosity towards the two of them. Even though his father repeatedly instructed him not to provoke them again, the hatred in his heart couldn't be suppressed. While speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the Land Rover behind them where Fletcher Knight and the others in with an expression of disdain on his face once more.
"Oh! Isn't this Ms Harleen Knight? So extravagant!" At this point, Beatrice came up beside their car with a sarcastic tone.
Beatrice's family also looked at the two of them with disdainful eyes.
Billy originally wanted to drive straight in, but after hearing this, he deliberately slowed down.
He then looked at Beatrice Knight's family with a faint smile and asked, "What a coincidence, you guys came to join in on the fun too?"
"Hmph!" Beatrice snorted coldly. "What? Can't we come here? It's not you who host this event!"
Billy smirked and replied, "I suggest you speak more politely or else whether you can get in tonight will be a problem."
"Arrogant words!" Robert Knight snorted coldly and continued, "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can stop us from entering?"
"Billy, let's go!" Harleen frowned slightly. She had no good feelings towards Beatrice's family. Over these years, she had seen their true colors and if it wasn't for her father's sake she wouldn't bother talking to them.
"Alright!" After sending Derek a message on his phone, Billy stepped on the gas pedal and drove off quickly.
"What an idiot!" Beatrice sneered disdainfully.
"The area ahead is restricted and all vehicles are prohibited from passing through. Does he think driving a sports car will make him special and exempt from regulations?"
"How... how did they get inside?" Beatrice was surprised as she spoke.
Beatrice and her father looked up to see a Porsche and a Land Rover slowly driving into the restricted area without any hindrance. Surprised, Beatrice quickly walked up to a staff member at the entrance and spoke in a harsh tone.
"Don't tell me you didn't see those two cars? Why were they allowed inside? This is negligence on your part! Hurry up and stop them!"
"Who are you?" The staff member furrowed their brows as they glanced at Beatrice Knight. "Are you here to teach us how to do our job?"
"You..." Beatrice paused for a moment and continued, "You clearly stated that vehicles are not allowed in there. Why can their cars go in? Can you give us an explanation?"
"Who do you think you are? Do we need to report everything we do to you?" The staff member retorted. He looked her up and down impatiently before waving his hand and said, "Move along, don't interfere with our work."
Beatrice was exasperated.
"Beatrice, forget it!" Her mother walked over.
"That guy knows someone from Ozin Tower. He probably found someone to open the back door for him. Let's not bother with them anymore, we need to hurry inside as time is running out!"
"Hmph! You're just small-minded people who have gained power." Beatrice stormed off towards the entrance, seething with anger.
"Hey! Wait!" A few staff members ran over at that moment.
"What's going on?" Robert Knight turned his head towards them.
"We received notice that your family cannot enter." One of the staff said bluntly.
"What!?" The family exclaimed simultaneously.
"Why?"
At that moment, they all remembered Billy's words earlier.
"Don't ask. If you want entertainment, go watch TV at home!" The staff member replied coldly.
"Who gave you the orders, you bastard? Bring your leaders to me, I'll ask them why they won't let us in!" Robert Knight shouted angrily.
