The words Jasper said in Anna’s ear almost made Anna collapse.
She did not expect that Jasper would spend so much money to surprise her.
She looked at the passers-by on the side o
f the street as they whispered to each and guessed what the countdown meant. Then, she looked out at the entire city of Los Angeles, the second-largest city in the west of the United States and the largest city in the state, as countdowns filled every corner. Anna pursed her lips and was speechless.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you like it?”
Jasper panicked.
All of this was arranged according to his ideas.
Of course, Henry’s side was the one who pulled strings while Jasper only needed to pay up.
Still, the countdown of more than ten hours alone cost Jasper at least 6 million US Dollars..
However, this money and thoughts were nothing compared to Anna’s help to Jasper.
Therefore, if Anna did not like it after all
the thoughts and efforts, it was really not
worth it.
“No, I like it very much.”
Anna looked at Jasper with scorching eyes and said softly, “It’s just that I never thought you would prepare this for me.”
With a chuckle, Jasper was feeling much relieved and replied, “This is just the beginning.
“Come with me.”
After Jasper finished speaking, he pulled
Anna into the car.
The car quietly left Los Angeles. On the way, one could see electronic signs counting down everywhere. Countless people were taking pictures or asking someone what was going on, but they were destined to never get the answer.
After the car left downtown Los Angeles, it drove to Mt. Hallav
Next to the huge world-famous Hallavu sign, one could see Santa Monica Bay from a distance and the entire city of Los Angeles nearby.
The mountain breeze was blowing gently. After Anna got out of the car, she saw the whole city of Los Angeles bathed in the soft purple light at a glance.
At this moment, the dreamlike picture made Anna feel as if she was in a dream.
“It must have been a lot of effort, right?” Anna asked.
Jasper smiled.
In truth, to do this, money was only a trivial matter. The main problem was that it was very difficult to pull strings to get it done. Fortunately, Henry was quite good i n this aspect.
If they were easy-going, just talk to them until they agreed. On the contrary, if they were not that easy-going, just throw money at them until they became easy going. That was how this thing was done.
Even so it took nearly a month to get it
done.
“It’s all worth it.”
With a squeeze of Anna’s hand, Jasper said, “I want to give you an unforgettable birthday, that’s all.”
Anna looked up at Jasper, pursed her lips, and smiled. “This is indeed my most unforgettable birthday.”
Anna and Jasper were sitting on the ground of the observation deck in Mt. Hallavu without caring about their images. Then, Anna rested her head against Jasper.
At this moment, none of them mentioned business or domestic affairs.
They also did not mention the relationship between them.
This was the mutual understanding
between them.
Anna closed her eyes slightly and said, ” It’d have been amazing if I met you earlier.”
“It’s not too late now,” Jasper answered.
“No?”
Anna did not lift her head, but she seemed to see Jasper’s pained expression. She continued, “Never mind, let’s not think about that…”
After they left Mt. Hallavu, the sky had turned bright.
The countdown that filled the skyline read 16 hours, 21 minutes, and 3 seconds now.
This time, Jasper was the one driving. Anna did not ask him where they were going. She just obediently watched the countdown that could be seen everywhere outside the car window, allowing Jasper to take the lead.
Jasper drove to Beverly Hills. It was a rich area that was famous all over the world, let alone in the United States.
The villa here was worth hundreds of millions of US Dollars. Even if you had so much money, you might not necessarily b e able to buy it. After all, person buying it had to possess a certain social status.
Jasper also used this place as a pilgrimage site in his previous life, but now that his status had reached this level, he knew
that in reality, as the place became more famous, many of the real elites had moved away.
The people who replaced them were celebrities, football stars, and upstarts.
Jasper would naturally not buy a villa here, so instead, he rented one.
Inside the villa, food and daily necessities had been prepared.
When Jasper was cooking and preparing breakfast, he saw that Anna was already lying on the sofa fast asleep.
After eating breakfast by himself, Jasper picked up the phone and dialed a number.
“Has everything tonight been arranged?”
Jasper asked.
“Mr. Laine, everything has been arranged properly. There will be no problems.”
“Okay, thank you for your hard work. After I go back, everyone will be paid half a year’s salary. I will be the one paying.”
If you wanted a horse to run, you could not forget to feed the horse. Hence, Jasper would never make a mistake in this
regard.
After putting down the phone, he looked back at Anna, who was still asleep. Jasper then turned around and started to prepare a hearty meal.
At this moment, a plane descended slowly in Los Angeles International Airport.
Echo and his three subordinates walked out from the aisle with dark faces.
“Jasper, I want to see where you’ll run to this time!”
At the entrance of the airport, Echo
mumbled with a malevolent look on his
face.
At this moment, one of his subordinates asked, “Mr. Welch, where are we going now?”
“We’re going to look for Jasper, of course *
After he said that, Echo also realized
something was not right.
It was because he had no idea Jasper was.
This was Los Angeles in the United States, not Finland of which Fabian had
investigated thoroughly.
No one knew where Jasper went after he got off the plane.
When Echo thought about this, he felt sullen and aggravated in his heart.
So, he called Fabian.
Because of the time difference, Fabian was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by the call.
“I asked Morrison to look into it, but he still needs some time. I’ll tell you immediately when there’s a result.”
Fabian hung up immediately after he finished talking.
Echo also put the phone away slowly.
“Mr. Welch, do we have an address?” The subordinate asked.
“Let’s find a hotel to stay in,” Echo said coldly after shaking his head.
“They’re looking for Jasper’s location, The moment they find out where he’s staying, we’ll go over immediately. After w e killed him, you guys should leave Instantly.”
Echo looked at his three subordinates and said slowly, “You three are death fighters who grew up with me. After I was kicked out of the family, you guys were also removed. Jasper was the one who brought this humiliation upon us, so we cannot let him go. I’ve prepared some money for you guys, and it’ll be enough for the rest of your lives.”
instantly.”
The three subordinates looked at each other and lowered their heads at the same time. “Roger that!”
