Chapter 161

“Is there something to celebrate today? Why is there suddenly a firework display?”

“Man, I bet it costs a lot with that much fireworks.”

“Could it be that another billionaire is proposing to a young commoner?”

“Pffi. You‘ve read too many of those cheesy stories.”

“I mean, who‘s to say? How do you explain the long firework display then?”

“It‘s been going on for twenty minutes. When will it end? Is there more?”

“Beats me.”

“Let‘s wait and see.”

Walking through the crowd, Veronica was amused by what the people were buzzing about. What great imagination!

It wasn‘t until they squeezed through the crowd and back to the side of the road that their surroundings got a lot quieter.

“Thanks, Xavier. I really enjoyed the fireworks.”

“Don‘t mention it.”

“Though I see you as my brother, hey, short reckonings make long friends.”

Veronica giggled and suddenly glanced subconsciously across the road. With that, she turned back to Xavier, saying, “Wait here. I‘m gonna buy something across from here.”

“Okay.” He thought no further of it and stood waiting there just like that.

Then, he heard his ringtone. With that, he fished his phone out to find Melissa calling. His little sister had called a good few times throughout the night, and he finally answered this time.
