No Way Back by Anna Mac

Chapter 236

Jane and Yale looked at the caller ID before finally answering the call

“Hello? Josh Where have you been? You didn’t even reply to my messages Jane sounded upset.

“Sorry, I have something to attend to. Are you guys in Harbor City now?”

Josh’s sudden question made Jane look around.

“Yeah, Yale and I are both here to celebrate the New Year.”

“Okay, I still have something on. I’ll hang up first.”

“Hello?”

Beep, beep, beep….

“Seriously. What’s Josh up to? What is he doing? It sounded quite noisy on his end, too.”

Jane’s mind was full of question marks.

[Ignore him. Let’s have fun on our own.]

Yale had his own selfish motive.

Back in Meridonia, Josh had said he might come to Crucsia to celebrate the new year with everyone.

But if Josh did not come, Yale could have all of Jane’s attention.

It would be better if there were no third wheel around.

“You’re right. Forget about him. Let’s go have fun ourselves.”

The sky gradually darkened.

After dinner and a short rest, Jane dragged Yale to a park.

As the New Year countdown approached, many people ran to the square to gather.

There was a rare silence in the park..

There was also a religious tower in the park..

It was decorated with orange lights.

It looked dignified.

It was meant to be an ornament for people to admire.

No religious attendants were guarding it, either.

There were sacred scriptures, calligraphy scrolls, paintings, and other classical exhibits.

Because it was the holidays, there was no one guarding the pagoda.

The door was locked.

Jane took a wire and opened the lock before sneaking in.

[Jane, that’s not appropriate. Is it?]

“There’s nothing wrong with it. We’re not here to steal anything. We’re only borrowing this tower to use the binoculars because it’s tall. At most, I’ll donate hundreds of thousands to this park after New Year’s Day.”

Yale was speechless.

Jane excitedly dragged Yale to the top floor of the tower.

Although it was cold, the night breeze blew, and her hair fluttered in the wind, she felt very much at ease.

No one was there. It was very quiet.

Looking at the flashing lights not far away, the big screen in the square began to count down to the beginning of a new

year.

Many drones were flying in the sky. There was an endless stream of people in the square, their faces filled with joy.

“Yale, the new year is almost here. Do you have any wishes?”

Yale thought for a moment.

He took out his small notebook.

I hope that Jane’s new year wishes will come true.]

Jane pouted. “Yale, can’t you think about yourself? You’re making me feel bad.”

[Then you should make a wish about me. That would make my new year’s wish come true, too.]

“That’s what I was thinking. I want to wish a safe and smooth new year for senior brothers and everyone important to me.”

Yale said nothing. He felt a little hurt.

It turned out that there was someone else in Jane’s heart.

Yale was sad

The official countdown began.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Many people shouted along with the clock in the square.

At this moment….

Josh called Jane again.

“Josh, what are you doing?”

“Jane, Yale, look at the sky!”

“Huh?”

Without thinking, Jane looked at the sky.

Whoosh. Whoosh.

A few helicopters flew past.

Countless fireworks rose into the sky.

Bang Bang.

Amidst the dazzling sparks and deafening sounds, two faces appeared in the night sky.

One was a man and the other was a woman.

They took a closer look.

The faces resembled Jane and Yale’s features.

It caused everyone to exclaim in excitement.

Quickly, Jane took out her phone to record it.

At the same time…

At the start of the new year, all the big screens in the square changed.

“Happy New Year to the two most important people in my life. To Yale and Jane.”

This sentence was projected onto all the jumbotron screens in Harbor City.

It could be seen in every square.

They could sense how much money this unknown person had spent.

“Yale? Jane? Who on earth are these people?”

“***! What kind of grand gesture is this? Someone bought all the screen advertisements in Harbor City to celebrate the new year.”

“That would cost at least millions of dollars…”

“Millions of dollars? Dream on. That message was broadcast right on the cusp of the new year. They even hired

helicopters. That’s at least 100 million.”

That’s

“What kind of rich people are they? How do I get to know these people? I can help them wash their dishes and clean their

toilet.”

Jane and Yale also saw it.

Jane could not help but chuckle. “Josh, you’ve disappeared for so many days. You called just now and hung up halfway. Were you busy doing this?”

“How is it? Are you and Yale touched? I even had the helicopters fly out there. I had to fill out so many forms to make it happen. I was worried that something might go wrong at the last minute, so I took charge and did everything. I’ve finally made it happen. I’ve carefully handpicked all the gorgeous fireworks around the city. It’s my gift to both of you. It’s a grand New Year’s fireworks show!”

Josh’s voice grew louder.

He could not wait to hear Jane’s praise.

Spending 15 million was secondary.

To people like them, 15 million was nothing.

The most important thing was Josh’s heartfelt thoughts.

Josh had prepared everything meticulously, taking into account every scenario that might happen.

He even flew to Harbor City in advance, postponed all his work, and personally took charge.

He did it so that tonight, Jane and Yale would feel like the most important people in the whole world.

“Thank you, Josh. I’m very happy!”

“Alright, alright. I’m willing to do anything to make you happy. Where are you both? I can look for you and leave the rest to

Jay.”

“I’ll send you our location. Come over quickly! Let’s watch the fireworks together!”

At the same time…

At a five-star hotel in Estonia…

An expensive Wetanean-style glass lamp hung in the middle of the banquet.

Underneath it, many dignified aristocrats were dressed in suits and gowns. They danced to the sound of the cello.

Henry held a glass of red wine in his hand. He found an empty corner and stood in front of the window, staring at the

moon.

“Henry, why are you here alone?”

Anna was wearing a custom-made ***diamond evening gown today. She held a glass of champagne and came to her eldest son’s side.

“Are you homesick?”

“Yeah… A little. Today is New Year’s Day, after all,”

After Henry finished speaking, he looked meaningfully at Chester, who was chatting enthusiastically with the chairman of an Estonian company.
