Playtime's Over, CEO: She's Really Done With You-Chapter 384: Successful Surgery, Livestream to Clarify and Strike Back
Time passed slowly, and on the fifth day, news came out that Brandon Huxley had taken a plane to go abroad.
The situation became even more confusing.
Some people said he was going overseas to stabilize the overseas order clients, while others said he wanted to win back Emeric Grant.
There were also those who said he ran off with money.
In any case, going abroad at this juncture was not a good sign.
Isla Lawson burst into laughter upon hearing the news.
"Let’s see how you, Serena Sterling, handle this!" Isla’s eyes were filled with a satisfied look.
The way she and Xander Linton met, and Xander’s anxious expression when he saved her weren’t fake.
The career she made in Frelia wasn’t fake either.
The Sheridan Family had long declined, while she, Isla Lawson, was called Miss Lawson by everyone in Aeston!
What does Serena have to compete with her!
"Now you’re just being knocked back to your original form." Isla said with a cold smile.
Thinking of this, Isla made another call to inform her subordinates.
"Look into what Serena is up to recently. She’s lost such a large sum, surely she’ll try to make it back."
Isla laughed and said, "At a time like this, she’s most likely to make desperate moves and will show plenty of flaws."
"Yes." The other side immediately responded.
...
On the sixth day, Serena returned home.
But her expression was not good when she got off the plane.
As soon as she got off, she was blocked and surrounded by countless people.
"Serena, what did you go abroad for this time?"
"Serena, what is your opinion on the investment in Aether this time?"
"Serena, what do you have to say in response to people calling you a vase?"
...
For a string of sharp questions, Serena avoided answering, quickly boarding a car with the escort of bodyguards.
The car started and quickly left.
This scene, when spread, made Serena seem even more embarrassed.
Online discussions were even more heated, thinking Serena couldn’t hold out anymore.
"Silas Hawthorne is being pressured by the board, Brandon Huxley ran away, Serena must be worried."
This was the comment with the most likes.
Meanwhile, inside the car’s back seat.
Silas Hawthorne looked at Serena, "What’s wrong?"
Serena was still a bit shaken.
"Copper prices might be going up," Serena said.
Thinking about the past couple of days, she still felt uneasy.
She went to Gallia for a business trip, discussing some matters with an overseas company, but shortly after meeting, some commotion occurred.
The place they met wasn’t far from a large underground copper mine; both sides decided to go take a look.
"It might have collapsed, or they might have blown something up," Serena said, "Maybe a minor landslide, because the commotion wasn’t too loud."
"That area is now sealed off, and very few people know about it; they later said there’s no problem, but I still have a weird feeling."
Serena recalled the scene at that time.
The commotion wasn’t very loud. Since it was their base, they couldn’t go inside, just saw them busy for a while, then everything seemed back to normal, just not allowing entry.
At that time, she asked the partner next to her.
"Some commotion is quite normal, could be they blew something up," the other said.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Serena whispered, "Up until I came back, no news had come out."
Silas reached out, wrapping Serena in his arms.
"What’s your thought?" Silas asked.
"I think it was a collapse," Serena said, "After discussing cooperation with the other party, I stayed a while and saw stretchers being brought out at night."
Serena slightly furrowed her brows and said, "There might be casualties."
Silas nodded, indicating he understood.
...
That day, rumors about Serena getting off the plane looking unwell were flying all over.
Jasper Ford was also intercepted, but his temper was fiery. After shouting a few words, no one dared to bother him again.
"With such a bad temper, it must be because the investment failed and his mood is foul."
Everyone was saying this.
Jasper Ford couldn’t be bothered to argue.
That afternoon, the door to Isla Lawson’s office opened and her assistant walked in.
"Miss Lawson, we just found out." The assistant handed a tablet to Isla and said, "Not long after Serena returned, she immediately invested large sums into the international market, some into gold, some into copper, and is continuing to invest."
Isla raised her eyebrows.
"What’s she up to?" Isla asked, "Any other information?"
The assistant replied immediately.
"Recently, Morova is going to cut interest rates, gold prices are rising."
"Also, Serena went to Gallia for business, and over there is an underground copper mine. It’s heard there was some commotion; maybe Serena wants to take a gamble."
Isla nodded.
The interest rate cut is something everyone knows, and the gold price has already been rising for a while.
As for the commotion in the underground copper mine.
"Any specific news about the copper mine?" Isla asked.
"Nothing at present," the assistant said, "The other party said they blew something up. Our people heard that the surface commotion was very minor; if not very close, no one would know, so it probably won’t be a big problem."
Only then did Isla feel at ease.
She smiled and said, "Looks like Serena is really desperate, wanting to bet copper prices will rise to recover everything."
The more she thought about it, the more Isla wanted to laugh.
"Wrong here, wrong everywhere." Isla’s face was full of smiles, "Daring to play with precious metals, Serena, you’re finished."
"Like this..." Isla whispered something to her assistant.
Since Serena was betting on copper prices rising, she would suppress them, to see how long Serena could last!
But after a while, the assistant returned.
"What’s the matter?" Isla asked.
"President Lawson wanted me to tell you..." the assistant said.
"Tell me what?" Isla felt a bad premonition.
"President Lawson said your personal impulsive investments cannot use The Lawson Corporation’s resources," the assistant said.
Isla gritted her teeth. Still protecting Serena at this time, fine!
"Then use my personal account, go ahead," Isla said.
"Yes." The assistant quickly left.
...
Time passed slowly.
On the seventh day, Silas Hawthorne continued to publicly support Serena, saying he trusted Serena’s judgment and was labeled as Aeston’s top lover.
But what many didn’t know was that on this day, in Cygnus, Brandon and Emeric were waiting together outside the operating room.
"It’ll be fine; Auntie is sure to be blessed." Brandon comforted.
Emeric nodded but was still very nervous.
After a while, the operating room door finally opened, and Emeric’s mother was pushed out.
The two hurried to ask the doctor for specifics.
"The operation was very successful; don’t worry," the doctor said with a smile.
Emeric burst into tears of joy.
Brandon was also very excited.
Thankfully, the surgery was successful.
Everything was resolved!
"Brandon, thank you, I really owe you. I know you’ve been under a lot of pressure lately. Tomorrow we’ll go live and clear things up!" Emeric said.
"Okay!" Brandon nodded vigorously.
The eighth day.
In Aeston, during noon, Aether went live, with Brandon appearing first on the interface.
