Meanwhile, the fireworks went off as nned, sending a rainbow of sparks into the
sky to spell out “Elspeth” rather than the usual patterns.
Caught off guard, Elspeth looked puzzled as the background music suddenly turned
incredibly romantic.
In a sharp-looking suit, Slevin walked out, holding a bouquet of flowers.
As he slowly approached her, she instinctively took a few steps back and asked,
“Slevin, what are you up to?”
Nheless, he smiled and said nothing while waiting for the music to stop. Then, he
kneeled on one knee and spoke with a clear, melodious voice, “Elspeth, will you marry

me? I have waited for four years and refuse to wait any longer.”
Elspeth admitted that she was aware that Slevin might have harbored romantic
feelings for her, but she had always kept her distance, and it had never crossed her
mind to pursue a rtionship with him. However, faced with the current situation and
the man’s public proposal, she wondered if he was trying to force her into submission.
Furrowing her brow, she suggested, “There are so many people here, so let’s talk
about this privately.”
She didn’t want to disrespect him, so she neither publicly rejected him to avoid
embarrassing him nor readily epted him. Nevertheless, she had no feelings for him
from the beginning, and if they were destined to be together, they would have been
together already, not via a forced marriage proposal.
In the meantime, those around her appeared to have different perspectives, as they
believed she was ovee with happiness when they saw her standing as still as a
statue.
Some bold individuals even approached and tugged at her clothes, saying, “Young
lady, just say yes. This young man is handsome, has a good personality, and is
wealthy. He has arranged this grand fireworks feast for you. If you miss this
opportunity, you won’t find it elsewhere.”
Elspeth mustered a forced smile and replied, “Sorry, but you don’t need to say more.
Our rtionship isn’t what you think it is.”
Soon, several girls behind her, perhaps envious of the grand spectacle, whispered to
each other.
“Hmph! I don’t know what she’s pretending for. She turns down such a wonderful man
and is ying hard to get.”
“Exactly! Who wouldn’t be attracted to such a great man?”
“Hey! Take a good, long look at the guy in front of her. He looks familiar, like the CEO
of Damin Group!”
