Chapter 35

Annie didn't care what others thought, for at her status and with her wealth, such things were no longer of concern. Therefore, she had the means to be so capricious.

Soon, the old butler Nord had everything arranged, and Annie, accompanied by a group of bodyguards and servants, boarded her private jet and set off from New York to Los Angeles.

Due to the fact that this world was ten times larger than the Earth of another timeline, the flight from New York to Los Angeles in this timeline was quite long.

After the plane entered a steady flight, the old butler reported to Miss Annie, "Miss, the houses on Monica Beach have been purchased. We bought six of them, not far from the boy's rented house. But what do you plan to do?"

The issue of housing had been resolved. As long as it was a matter of money, it wasn't a problem for Annie. Moreover, houses worth a few hundred thousand dollars each were nothing to her, who possessed wealth exceeding a trillion.

"I'll contact Dave and have him delay things. I plan to apply for the nanny position myself. When the time comes, I'll move into the boy's house, and you and the bodyguards will stay in the newly purchased houses nearby to look after us."

"Miss! What are you doing?"

Hearing his young mistress's plan, the old butler Nord couldn't remain calm.

Who was his young mistress!

She was no less than a princess.

Possessing wealth exceeding a trillion, with high intelligence, a prestigious university degree, and being young and beautiful, she was the goddess in the hearts of many distinguished young men from noble families around the world.

But why did she insist on becoming a nanny?

And for the sperm donor's family, no less.

"Uncle Nord, don't overreact, okay?" Annie, seeing the old butler's puzzled expression and somewhat extreme reaction, found it somewhat amusing. However, she had anticipated this and had prepared her explanation.

"I'm doing this to gain some experience in being a mother and learn how to take care of children. After all, in six or seven months, I'll be a mother myself."

To be honest, Annie's excuse was full of loopholes, and the old butler Nord could tell.

Taking care of children requires experience, but when your child is born, many people will be there to help, and you won't need to do it yourself.

Even if you did, you wouldn't be as hardworking as an ordinary mother.

Yes, that's what the old butler wanted to shout out.

But since his young mistress had said it, could he really expose her?

As the saying goes, it's better not to ruin someone's efforts, so the old butler fell silent and said no more.

However, in his heart, he still felt very uncomfortable about his young mistress doing this.

What merit did that Asian boy have to make his young mistress do such a thing? Bastard!

On one side, Annie had already embarked on her journey to Los Angeles, while on the other side, Kim Hyun-tae was reading the newspaper every day, feeling very annoyed by the ridicule and insults from a certain writer. Even though Los Angeles was sunny every day, Kim Hyun-tae's heart was gloomy.

Although Kim Hyun-tae was a broad-minded person, he couldn't completely ignore someone who mocked him every day. After all, he wasn't a saint.

Fortunately, his daughter brought him a lot of comfort every day, making his gloomy mood much brighter. At the same time, Kim Hyun-tae was also curious about what kind of nanny Dave would find.

Dave was busy selecting a 'nanny' for Kim Hyun-tae and called him several times a day to report on the 'progress.'

To be honest, Dave hadn't actually looked for a nanny because he had already been notified by Nord that Miss Annie had found one.

However, before the person Miss Annie had found arrived in Los Angeles, Dave had to buy some time.

This was a small matter for Dave.

And Kim Hyun-tae didn't think much about it, believing that Dave was working hard for him.

In fact, Kim Hyun-tae had no idea that the reality was completely different from what he imagined.

After a 30-hour flight, Annie and her entourage finally arrived in Los Angeles at 9 a.m. After leaving the airport, they headed straight for the California Publishing House without stopping.

When Annie and her group arrived at the California Publishing House, Dave was already waiting for her.

The old butler had notified Dave in advance, so he was well-prepared.

To be honest, it was the first time Dave had met Annie in person, so he was quite excited.

Indeed, who wouldn't be excited to see someone like Annie?

At this moment, Annie exuded a maternal glow, far different from her former youthful and vibrant demeanor. Perhaps it was because she was pregnant, but this made her even more radiant.

Annie's outings were always accompanied by many bodyguards, and the scene was always grand.

So, when a row of over a dozen black Bentley bulletproof cars stopped in front of the publishing house, they immediately attracted the attention of many passersby and tourists.

After all, the publishing house was located in the most bustling section of Hollywood Boulevard, right next to the famous Chinese Theater.

Therefore, this area was always filled with many tourists and young people, and it was impossible for Annie's group not to attract attention.

Especially Annie's Rolls-Royce extended bulletproof car, which drew many envious and jealous glances.

Whose convoy is this?

A Hollywood superstar?

No! No! No!

The people around began to whisper.

After the cars stopped, the old butler Nord got out first and walked straight to Dave and his subordinates, who were waiting at the entrance to welcome Annie.

As the old butler Nord approached Dave, the convoy slowly moved towards the underground parking lot of the publishing house.

Clearly, Annie didn't want to attract too much attention; the convoy had only stopped to let the old butler out.

"Let everyone get back to work. Miss Annie doesn't want so many people to be delayed for her, and most importantly, she doesn't like this kind of attention."

Walking up to Dave, the old butler Nord immediately recognized him and said.

Nord and Dave were acquainted, as they had been in frequent phone and video contact over the past period, becoming quite familiar with each other.

So, the old butler Nord knew what Dave looked like.

Otherwise, with Dave's status, how would the old butler Nord know him?

Hearing the old butler's words, Dave didn't dare to delay and quickly dismissed his subordinates, who had gathered at the entrance, to return to their work. He himself stayed behind.

"Notify the Asian boy to come to the publishing house. Tell him we've found a nanny and that he should come to meet her."

"Sure, sure, I'll notify Kim right away," Dave, facing the old butler Nord, was almost a yes-man, ready to do whatever the old butler said.

At this moment, Annie had already gotten out of her Rolls-Royce in the parking lot and gave the bodyguards a difficult instruction: to let her take the elevator to the fifth floor of the publishing house alone, while they stayed behind and didn't follow her.

This instruction left the bodyguards in a dilemma.

After all, their responsibility was to closely follow Annie and protect her safety, a condition the old butler had specifically emphasized when hiring them.

Moreover, the bodyguards were well aware that the Whiston family had faced mysterious threats, and Miss Annie, the last surviving member, was in potential danger.

So, how could they ignore Annie's safety and let her do this?

"Sorry, Miss, our responsibility is to protect your safety. Your actions are dangerous, and if something happens, we won't be able to help you."

The bodyguard captain was a stern German, and this standard German giant shook his head, rejecting Miss Annie's arrangement.

In theory, Annie was the employer, and the bodyguards should obey her. But who could blame them, given that they were all former German special forces members?

These guys were all big and tough, with very rigid personalities.

They didn't know what it meant to be flexible. Instead, they believed that since they were paid by their employer, they had to prioritize the employer's safety, not let the employer act recklessly.

Fortunately, the old butler, who arrived shortly after, resolved this small issue, calming the bodyguards and allowing Miss Annie to take the elevator to the fifth floor.

Thus, when Kim Hyun-tae received Dave's notification and rushed to the publishing house with his daughter, he found Annie and Dave already waiting for him.

As for the old butler, he took the bodyguards and servants to the new home in the beach community.

"This is Miss Annie, a carefully selected candidate by our publishing house. She has a Harvard degree, and her character and personality are impeccable..."

Dave listed Annie's virtues, making her seem like a one-of-a-kind person. In his words, he praised her so much that even Annie herself blushed.

"Are you the candidate for the nanny position?"

While Dave was talking, Kim Hyun-tae's gaze fell on Annie, and he began to examine her closely, asking a question.

Her long blonde hair was tied back, and she wore a black business suit. Her fair and delicate face, with a beauty score of at least 99, exuded a serene and refined aura. However, these were not what Kim Hyun-tae focused on.

"Yes, I am the candidate chosen by the publishing house, and everyone believes I am the most suitable. However, the publishing house's approval is not enough; you need to make the final decision."

In response to Kim Hyun-tae's question, Annie nodded and replied.

"She seems great. I think she's the most suitable among all the candidates," Dave added, trying his best to impress.

"Ma'am... I'm sorry, but I think you're too young. You might not be able to handle some of the issues with children, so I don't think you're the right candidate."

Unexpectedly, Kim Hyun-tae's attitude completely caught Annie, who was full of confidence, off guard.

Even Dave hadn't expected this.
