After buying the office building, Linton was in a great mood, his assets having increased significantly again.
He had originally planned to celebrate properly, but remembering Universal's celebration party tonight, he called Mira and asked her to book the best Presidential Suite at the Hilton Hotel.
That evening, Linton brought Cameron to the Hilton Hotel for the celebration party.
Tonight's party was exceptionally grand; not only Universal Records, but also most of Universal Pictures' executives were present.
Many media outlets were also invited, as the ultimate goal of the celebration party was still to promote the album.
First, Daniel loudly announced that Linton's new album, 'Grow Up,' had broken through 20 million global sales, drawing warm applause from everyone, and then asked Linton to invite a dance partner for the first dance.
As the music began, Linton took Cameron's hand and walked into the center of the hall, dancing gracefully. Cameron was so excited her whole body felt weak; tomorrow's headlines were definitely set.
Subsequently, at the celebration party, Linton met many new connections, especially deepening his impression with Universal Pictures executives. Cameron also took the opportunity to meet many people.
During the free activity in the second half of the party, Linton was like a giant magnet, with agents, models, and actresses all flocking to him, making his mouth ache from smiling so much.
Cameron kept her arm tightly linked with Linton's, causing many newcomers to silently curse "bitch" in their hearts, while Mira stood on Linton's other side, constantly exchanging contact information with new arrivals.
In the second half, Linton found an opportunity to sneak out of the ballroom with Cameron and took the elevator straight to the Presidential Suite.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the Room, Cameron gave Linton a mysterious smile, "Darling, I've prepared a surprise for you today."
"Oh really, what surprise?"
Cameron found a bag in the Room, which was filled with various uniforms and stockings.
"Little imp, you really know me. But I'm still curious how you got it up here?"
"It's simple, I gave the bag to Mira earlier and asked her to bring it up."
Then the battle began, with various uniform shows, nurse shows, flight attendant shows, student outfits, and secretary shows. As Cameron transformed, Linton fought with increasing vigor; 50,000 words describing the battle scene are omitted. The two only fell asleep in each other's arms until the early morning.
In the morning, after a loving breakfast delivered by the hotel, the two left separately. Cameron needed to continue her announcements, while Linton met up with Mira to look at properties.
On the way, Mira hesitantly asked Linton about renewing his management contract. Linton directly told Mira that he was very satisfied with her service and currently had no intention of leaving WMA, but WMA also needed to show its sincerity. This eased Mira's long-held worries.
The first property was a villa located on the hillside of Beverly Hills. The villa was large, but its structure and architectural style did not suit Linton's taste.
Another was a luxurious mansion on Malibu Beach. The house was very large and opulent, with a good layout, but Linton considered its location and ultimately rejected it.
He didn't want to be bothered by wildfires every year; fire and water are merciless, and a big fire wouldn't care about your status—wealthy, celebrity, or politician, it would burn just the same.
The last property provided by the real estate agent was still in Beverly Hills.
Mira, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at the material and said to Linton, "This house is located at the highest point of Mulholland Drive Beverly Park, very close to Tom Cruise's residence on Mulholland Drive in Beverly Hills. It was designed by the famous luxury home architect Hanris, covers an area of 6.88 acres, and was built five years ago. Its previous owner was Wall Street financial tycoon Logan Carsonberg."
The Cadillac now drove past the Hearst Estate, and not far ahead, they saw the mansion of Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise, which he purchased in 1990 when he married Nicole Kidman.
After driving a few more minutes, through Beverly Park, on the hillside, Linton vaguely saw extremely tall walls through the gaps between the tall trees by the roadside.
The tall, dense trees almost completely blocked the view, providing excellent privacy for this mansion.
Real estate agent Sis-Iska was standing at the entrance of the estate, awaiting Linton's arrival.
Linton got out of the car, and Sis-Iska quickly stepped forward, saying, "Hello, Mr. Anderson."
Linton and his companions stood at the entrance. On both sides of the gate were white marble gateposts, smooth and unadorned.
The central gate had a simple and elegant design, likely made of stainless steel.
Looking further to both sides, the tall walls were built entirely of grey stone, with surveillance cameras placed at regular intervals.
Through the stainless steel gate, a modern-looking guardhouse could be seen behind the wall.
Sis-Iska pressed the remote control switch, the gate opened, and he led the way into the estate. Linton and Mira followed unhurriedly, with Nick bringing up the rear.
Upon entering the gate, they were greeted by a large garden. Since the estate was built into the mountain, the buildings inside fully utilized the terrain.
The areas of the garden near the gate and walls were mostly planted with trees, common Beverly Hills jacaranda and crape myrtle trees.
Further inside, there were large patches of crape myrtle, bird of paradise flowers, and neatly trimmed hedges.
The garden was clearly well-maintained, ending in a flat expanse of green lawn. In the center of the lawn were some large sun umbrellas and rows of seats that had been folded away.
"If you want to hold an outdoor party during the day, you can open the sun umbrellas," real estate agent Sis-Iska said at the opportune moment, "to block the strong sunlight."
Linton said, "Retractable large sun umbrellas, a very good design."
Sis led Linton towards the three-story white main building at the end of the lawn.
The main building's design was full of modern technological flair; its white main structure combined with light blue glass gave a sense of blue sky and white clouds.
This was completely different from the heavy, profound feeling of traditional estates, instead exuding a simple, bright, and vibrant vitality.
Linton did not walk forward immediately, instead asking Sis-Iska to take him on a tour around the main building.
In front of the estate was a small plaza paved with white granite. To the left was a similarly styled annex building, which housed storage, garages, staff quarters, and security.
Behind this annex building was a large flat lawn with a helicopter landing pad marked on it.
Behind the annex, closely adjacent to the main building, was a large outdoor swimming pool. Next to the pool were a standard tennis court and basketball court, with outdoor fitness equipment also by the courts.
To the right of the main building was a small practice golf course, not large in area.
Sis-Iska suggested, "Shall we go inside and have a look?"
Linton asked, "Why is Logan Carsonberg selling this estate?"
Sis-Iska answered honestly, "He went bankrupt."
Jeff-Iska continued as they walked, "This estate was built five years ago, and after its completion, Logan Carsonberg bought it for a high price of 18.8 million dollars through a bank mortgage.
Logan Carsonberg's company primarily dealt in stocks and financial securities. Last year, due to investment errors, Logan Carsonberg declared bankruptcy, and the estate was legally repossessed by the bank."
"The bank cleared the title, completed all procedures, and only handed this estate over to our company for sale two months ago."
He smiled and continued, "Since Logan Carsonberg's workplace is on Wall Street in New York, he rarely came to live here, so the estate has largely maintained its appearance from when it was newly built."
