Playtime's Over, CEO: She's Really Done With You-Chapter 380: Why Waste Money on That? Let Her Stay on the Trending List if She Wants

Chapter 380: Chapter 380: Why Waste Money on That? Let Her Stay on the Trending List if She Wants

Silas Hawthorne looked at Serena Sterling.

He mainly didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable, although he knew she could handle it.

But at the same time, he also understood that she didn’t want him to intervene too much.

On one hand, it was because this was Aeon’s first project.

On the other hand, it was for the sake of their future together.

However...

Silas Hawthorne slightly lowered his eyes, pondering something.

"What are you thinking about?" Serena Sterling asked.

Silas Hawthorne smiled, enigmatically saying, "Thinking about how to make some people uncomfortable."

Serena Sterling raised her eyebrows.

She knew, of course, that although Silas Hawthorne appeared gentle and refined, he was also someone with means, otherwise, he wouldn’t have the family business he had today.

The two of them continued their conversation, finishing lunch.

"Go back and rest, I don’t think there will be anything happening in your company this afternoon," Silas Hawthorne said. "I’ll have Sawyer drive you back, and if anything comes up, I’ll have Mrs. Wyatt call you."

"Okay." Serena Sterling nodded.

...

The news spread quickly.

Soon, almost everyone in the circle knew about it.

Numerous people called Serena Sterling.

Serena Sterling only responded to a few important people and then put her phone on silent.

Countless people were talking about it.

Isla Lawson was very happy about the situation in the circle.

Thinking about it, she called Xander Linton.

Xander Linton had already flown back to Frelia.

Not long after talking to Serena Sterling, he left, of course, Serena Sterling eventually went to see him off.

At this moment, Xander Linton had just finished some tasks and was lying on a big bed.

Then a transcontinental call came in.

Seeing Isla Lawson’s name, he sighed deeply but still answered.

"Hello?" Xander Linton said, "What’s up?"

Isla Lawson leaned back in her chair, watching the traffic outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Xander, how have you been lately?" Isla Lawson asked.

"Pretty busy." Xander Linton said, "So, if there’s something you need, speak up quickly, I’ve got things to do afterward."

"Alright." Isla Lawson said, sending a link to Xander Linton, "Take a look at this and you’ll understand."

Xander Linton glanced at it and clicked to see the news about Serena Sterling and Jasper Ford’s one and a half billion funds being trapped.

He only glanced at it before frowning and suddenly sitting up. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Did you see it?" Isla Lawson heard the noise and asked with a smile.

"Yes." Xander Linton responded.

"What do you think?" Isla Lawson asked, hoping to hear Xander Linton express disappointment in Serena Sterling.

"Not much." Xander Linton replied.

He had indeed been nervous for a moment but, considering Serena Sterling’s methods and way of doing things, it probably wouldn’t be like that, and even if the funds were truly trapped, she should have a solution.

"Not much?" Isla Lawson’s hopes were dashed, and she sneered, "With so much money trapped, you have no thoughts?"

Xander Linton lazily poured himself a glass of wine, "Yeah, she’ll handle it."

Isla Lawson was even more infuriated: "You trust her that much?"

Xander Linton took a sip of wine, looking at the sky outside.

"Yes." He replied, "Unless, what do you want me to say?"

Isla Lawson gritted her teeth.

"Isla, I already explained it clearly to you before, there’s a life between me and Serena, it’s long since impossible, you don’t need to be persistent," Xander Linton advised.

"I know." Isla Lawson said.

Actually, ever since Xander Linton told her about the past, she understood.

But she was just unwilling to accept it.

Why was it Serena Sterling who was unwilling?

Why did Xander Linton know Serena Sterling didn’t want it, and why was Xander Linton still thinking of her while watching her marry Silas Hawthorne!

And also Julian Lawson, whom she had always admired, kept staring at Serena Sterling.

She was from a distinguished family, had graduated from an Ivy League school in Frelia, and handled many important matters while there.

How was Isla Lawson inferior to Serena Sterling!

After hanging up the phone, Isla Lawson’s anger hadn’t subsided.

She held her phone, looking at the traffic under the large floor-to-ceiling window, something flickering in her eyes.

Xander Linton looked at the phone, also at a loss, could only send Serena Sterling a message to let her know about it.

...

The news was mostly spreading within the circle on that day.

The next day, the news began to spread more publicly, various powers at play.

#Serena Sterling acting beyond her means, pretty face crashes into investment circle, funds trapped#

This post was directly placed at the top of trending searches.

"Found out it’s Isla Lawson who bought the trending spot," Silas Hawthorne said, "Should we take it down?"

Serena Sterling smiled, "Why waste money on that? Let her put it there if she wants."

Although she might have some impact these days because she also has contracts with Ford Entertainment, but after Brandon Huxley’s friend clarifies things in a few days, it won’t be an issue.

Generally, artist contracts have many restrictions, but because she is signed with Jasper Ford’s company, their contract has been modified a lot, Serena Sterling is still free, it’s just that the music circle stuff continues to be managed by Ford Entertainment.

Silas Hawthorne nodded.

The two of them finished breakfast, played with Seraphina for a while, then headed to work.

As soon as Serena Sterling stepped out of the elevator, she saw a big crowd on the company side.

Raine had been waiting on the side early, and when she saw Serena Sterling, she immediately pulled her into the side corridor, avoiding being seen by those people.

"What’s wrong?" Serena Sterling asked.

"Serena, all kinds of people are here." Raine pulled Serena further away saying, "People trying to gather information, people ready to kick you when you’re down, and those who wanted to cooperate and are now eager to clear things up, all sorts. They’re all here."

Serena Sterling raised an eyebrow.

It’s only been a day, and things haven’t settled, yet it has already started?

She thought people would wait and watch for a couple of days with a week’s time.

Such impatience?

"Alright, I understand." Serena Sterling said.

Then walked ahead, Raine was anxious, but Serena just waved her hand indicating it was fine.

Serena Sterling had just entered the company when she was immediately surrounded.

"Serena Sterling, what’s going on with you?"

"Serena Sterling, I was planning to cooperate only because of Silas Hawthorne, but now that you’ve made such a huge hole, I’m not daring to, everyone here is a witness!"

"Serena Sterling, you’d better hurry and quit the circle, go home and raise kids honestly, the investment circle is not something a pretty face like you can handle!"

...

There truly were all kinds of people.

Yet the smile on Serena Sterling’s face didn’t change a bit.

She simply didn’t care.

If she couldn’t even withstand this little, how could she revive the Sheridan Family!

"Everyone." Serena Sterling smiled and said, "Please calm down, could you listen to me for a moment?"

Everyone was still chattering until Serena Sterling slammed something hard on the table beside her, making a loud noise, and only then did everyone stop talking.
