Money poured out like a steady stream of water. Even so, Jasper had never been frugal when it came to events like these.
If morning was said to be the time for financial and daily reports to shine, then nighttime events were heaven on earth for entertainment news reporters.
There were celebrities everywhere. Three out of Harbor City’s four richest families led the way, accompanied by many important and powerful people from the Southeast Province’s and its surroundings. Furthermore, eight bigshots out of the dozen or so state-owned real estate enterprises within the country were also present.
Superstars were aplenty as well. Beautiful ladies, all of Harbor City’s four main Superstars, and multiple Miss Harbor City’s fighting over who got to appear first. The gala had gathered almost all of Harbor City’s and the Mainland’s top-notch celebrities.
A simple thank you banquet had now turned into an extremely classy gala.
Female stars were dolled up and looking beautiful as they walked the red carpet into the hotel.
Reporters could take a photo at random here and they would probably have a shot of rich sons with beautiful celebrities or models in tow. An abundance of people who tended to be the center of scandalous rumors were present, and the reporters grinned so wide that their smiles stretched from ear to ear.
Wendy did not like such events, and the past two days had indeed tired her out, so she opted to stay home that day.
However, Jasper felt that it would be rather embarrassing to appear alone in such situations, so he asked Scarlet to join him.
This action alone did not mean much, but then rumors started to circulate about Jasper waiting for Scarlet to arrive by the entrance.

Similar headlines instantly began to appear in the reporters’ minds.
Just as Scarlet reached out to take Jasper’s arm, the dark night lit up like the afternoon sun with camera flashes.
The group of reporters no longer held back as they rushed over to interview them, but a group of bodyguards quickly held them back.
Jasper ignored them as he ushered Scarlet into the hotel.
“There’s a lot of people,” Scarlet commented with her arm looped around Jasper’s.
“I didn’t know celebrities feared crowds,” Jasper spoke with a smile.
“But these aren’t normal people,” Scarlet replied.
“How are they not normal? All of them have a head resting on their shoulders. There’s nothing special about them.”
Scarlet pursed her lips and smiled, her gaze sparkling with a certain allure as she turned to Jasper. “You’re the most special one out of them all.”
Jasper turned to look at Scarlet and chuckled, “You know, I’m sort of a fan of your films.”
“Oh?” Scarlet looked at Jasper in shock, then she pouted, “Isn’t this the line that rich playboys use to deceive female celebrities?”
“I’ve watched A Somer Odyssey at least ten times,” Jasper exclaimed softly.
He was technically speaking the truth, but he had watched it during his past life.
No one could stay back from Purple Fairy.
“Tell me just one of my lines and I’ll believe you.” Scarlet realized that Jasper was a down-to-earth person that did not seem to keep his nose in the air, so she mustered up the courage to joke with him.
“Do you see that man? He looks like a dog,” Jasper softly recited a classic line from Scarlet’s film.
Coincidentally, at that moment, Zane had turned around and spotted Scarlet, so he and was running over in surprise when Jasper said this. Hence, he happened to hear the quote as well.
“Who the f*ck are you calling a dog?!” Zane roared.
Jasper turned to look at Zane and frowned. “I never realized that there were people so proud to be called a dog that they’d run all the way over to accept the title.”
When he said this, Scarlet could not hold back and immediately burst into a melodic laugh, causing her body to shudder slightly.
