Playtime's Over, CEO: She's Really Done With You-Chapter 338: Never Coming Back

Immediately, an insider released the latest news.

"Both murders were orchestrated by Vera Hansen, who instructed Preston Langley to do it. One was a hit-and-run involving the pregnant Serena Sterling, the other was a hit-and-run targeted at a paparazzo who recorded her threatening Irene."

Because this claim was so outrageous, no one took it seriously.

After all, there are countless fabricated rumors online.

No one knows what’s true or false.

This sparked immense debate.

Initially unable to accept it, die-hard fans left comments under Vera Hansen’s account video.

"Vera Hansen, come out and explain what’s going on!"

"Vera Hansen, if you’re really not involved in the murder cases, then come out and clarify!"

"Vera Hansen, show yourself!"

But there was no news at all.

Vera Hansen seemed to have vanished.

This made those people’s beliefs completely collapse.

Given the situation, if she were truly wronged, based on Vera Hansen’s personality, she’d have come out to clarify long ago.

But she didn’t.

The longer they waited, the more it seemed set in stone.

Moreover, this was a warrant issued by the police.

Believe it or not, they had no choice but to believe it.

This attracted explosive attention, especially since Vera Hansen had been very active and surprising on the internet in recent months.

An internet-famous florist with a close relationship with a major CEO and a large fan base was involved in intentional murder!

It’s completely explosive news!

And there are two people closely related to Vera Hansen.

One is Julian Lawson, the other is Serena Sterling.

So, just as Serena Sterling got out of the car, she was immediately surrounded by countless paparazzi.

They had found out about the new company address Serena Sterling registered and came over to block her.

At this moment, crowds circled around her, microphones, cameras, and live-streaming devices all pointed at her, everyone wanted the latest news.

"Serena Sterling, what do you think about the online warrant for Vera Hansen?"

"Serena Sterling, there are rumors online that the two murder cases involving Vera Hansen are related to you. Is that true?"

"Serena Sterling, how do you feel about Vera Hansen being hunted down? Are you happy?"

"Serena Sterling..."

...

There were too many people, and Serena Sterling couldn’t move.

Silas Hawthorne was beside her, shielding her from some people to keep her from being crowded and pushed down.

Because some paparazzi were live-streaming, countless people were paying attention to Serena Sterling’s response at that moment.

Meanwhile, The Lawson Corporation was also surrounded.

Because alongside Vera Hansen, a man named Preston Langley was also wanted.

This Preston Langley had been the purchasing department manager at The Lawson Corporation.

Adding to the widely known triangle involving Vera Hansen, Julian Lawson, and Serena Sterling, there were even more people surrounding The Lawson Corporation than around Serena Sterling.

Even many in the finance world are paying attention due to The Lawson Corporation’s involvement.

The paparazzi learned that Julian Lawson’s recent health issues meant he was mostly appearing online for meetings, so they scattered to stake out his various residences.

So, just as Julian Lawson arrived at his apartment building, having just gotten out of the car, he was surrounded.

Photographs, live streams, microphone crowds.

Online live viewing numbers soared.

Countless people were waiting for Serena Sterling and Julian Lawson’s responses.

Some even put the live-stream rooms together.

Countless people watched it all.

On Serena Sterling’s side.

The security team called by Silas Hawthorne soon arrived, keeping the frenzied paparazzi at bay.

The scene was noisy.

Serena Sterling and Silas Hawthorne exchanged a glance.

Serena Sterling knew they wouldn’t leave without some response.

"Everyone." Serena Sterling stood her ground, stepped forward, and everyone’s gaze focused on her.

"Calm down, everyone." Serena took a moment, and said what she could.

"Firstly, regarding Vera Hansen’s warrant, I knew about it earlier. I suggest following up with official updates for arrest results."

"Then, regarding the two cases in question, the first indeed relates to me. I was once in a car accident, and recently learned it was an attack orchestrated by Vera Hansen and others."

"Lastly..."

Serena lowered her gaze slightly, her face clearly lit up by numerous flashes.

"I’m not happy." she said.

"What is lost is lost forever and will never return."

The scene buzzed, the paparazzi wanted more answers, but Serena wasn’t responding further.

Serena didn’t look at anyone.

With a calm expression, about three seconds later, she bowed deeply and left with Silas Hawthorne, escorted by bodyguards.

Leaving behind a crowd eager for more, chattering fervently.

"So it really is related to Serena Sterling! Vera Hansen had someone hit Serena!"

"So was that insider’s claim true? Was it because Serena Sterling was pregnant that Vera Hansen sent someone to hit her?"

"No way, right? Wasn’t Serena Sterling pushed down the stairs by Julian Lawson under Vera Hansen’s influence, causing her miscarriage?"

...

"Quick, look at the interview on Julian Lawson’s side!"

...

Downstairs at the apartment.

Julian Lawson was surrounded.

"President Lawson, is there any truth to the rumors that the wanted suspect, Preston Langley, was the purchasing department manager at The Lawson Corporation? Will it affect the company stock prices?"

"President Lawson, Serena Sterling just responded in an interview saying it was Vera Hansen who, along with someone else, drove a car to hit her when she was pregnant. Is that true? What did she lose?"

"President Lawson, what exactly is your relationship with Vera Hansen, please answer directly!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"President Lawson..."

The security personnel already isolated the paparazzi.

Julian Lawson sat in a wheelchair, coldly watching all these people.

She has already responded.

Beside him, Jude Chaucer immediately showed Julian Lawson the clip of the response video.

"I’m not happy."

"What is lost is lost forever and will never return."

Her voice came through the phone, hitting his heart like a blunt object.

It will never return...

Emotion surged, and Julian Lawson exerted all his efforts to control himself.

The paparazzi and reporters still awaited his answer.

Julian Lawson knew he should say something.

So, he suppressed his emotions and said, "Preston Langley was dismissed from The Lawson Corporation a year ago."

Implying both incidents occurred after Preston Langley left The Lawson Corporation and had nothing to do with it.

"As for Vera Hansen." Julian Lawson paused briefly, "I was indeed closely associated with her, but we were not in a romantic relationship."

"Finally..."

Julian Lawson pressed down on his turbulent emotions and said, "What’s online is true, Vera Hansen and Preston Langley conspired to hit the pregnant Serena Sterling with a car."

"Serena narrowly escaped the attack and was injured, then, on the same day, the event in the hospital corridor happened."

"What was lost..."

Julian Lawson painfully closed his eyes.

"It was our child."
