Playtime's Over, CEO: She's Really Done With You-Chapter 477: Young Master Julian Knocked Me Out and Escaped
In the morning, Serena was woken up by someone.
She was dazed, letting others do with her as they pleased.
She put on her wedding dress, had her makeup done, and was then taken to have numerous photos taken.
Bianca Lynch watched her looking all groggy and amusedly said, "Serves you right for disturbing my sleep last night. Look at you now!"
Serena yawned and looked at Bianca with tearful eyes.
"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have stayed up late," Serena said.
"Hey, don’t cry!" Bianca quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her tears and then got her coffee to drink.
Luckily, Serena was finally awake by the time the wedding party arrived.
They blocked the door, searched for shoes, and played various games.
Then, Silas Hawthorne came to Serena’s side.
"Serena." His eyes were filled with her image as he knelt on one knee, offering a bouquet, "Will you marry me?"
Serena’s eyes slightly moistened, she fought to hold back the tears, and nodded, "Yes."
The surrounding erupted into cheers.
He put the bridal shoes on her, hugged her, and kissed her.
After that, there were more procedures like tea ceremonies and name changes, as Serena looked at Clara Huxley and finally didn’t call her Mrs. Huxley but softly called her "Mom."
Next to her, Silas Hawthorne did the same for Sheila Jenkins.
Only Sheila Jenkins and Clara Huxley’s reactions were worlds apart.
Serena looked at Sheila Jenkins, who was also looking at her.
Then, Serena smiled softly.
It was already great that Sheila Jenkins could attend her wedding.
The atmosphere was festive everywhere.
All the procedures went smoothly.
Finally, they arrived at the chapel.
Here, Serena needed to change into a wedding dress, under the witness of everyone, walk to Silas Hawthorne, and complete this wedding.
In the dressing room.
Serena had put on the ocean wave wedding dress, and the makeup artist had finished her makeup.
Serena looked at herself in the mirror.
The makeup effect was much better than yesterday.
"Looks great." Somehow, there was already another person in the dressing room.
Serena held the bouquet, smiled, and turned around.
...
Serena and Silas Hawthorne’s wedding was broadcasted live.
The wedding convoy was incredibly large, passing through the entire city.
The grand spectacle astonished countless netizens.
"Wow, they’re all luxury cars."
"This villa was reportedly bought by Silas Hawthorne specifically for Serena’s wedding."
"And this banquet."
"You missed seeing Serena’s wedding dress, Lady Maysa already posted pictures, it’s just so beautiful!"
"Silas Hawthorne definitely wants to outshine Julian Lawson!"
"He already did, didn’t he?"
"Look at the chapel, it’s full of moguls!"
...
The scene was indeed full of moguls.
Silas Hawthorne booked the best hotel in Aeston as the wedding venue, very grand.
Coming and going were all notable people in Aeston.
One could say that everyone except The Lawsons were there.
No one found it odd; after all, they were Serena’s ex-husband’s family, coming over now would be too strange.
Moreover, Julian Lawson still seemed to have lingering feelings for Serena.
Even then, it was already quite grand.
The bride Serena was in the dressing room, while the others outside were busy and bustling.
As time passed, Silas Hawthorne could finally catch a breath.
He walked to the dressing room.
"Knock knock."
"Serena, I’m coming in." Silas Hawthorne said, as he pushed open the door to the dressing room.
But inside it was empty, no one was there.
Silas Hawthorne furrowed his brows slightly.
He turned around and went into the restroom to check, but there was no one there; the entire dressing room was empty.
Silas Hawthorne walked out quickly and ran into Bianca Lynch who was coming to check on Serena.
"Bianca, have you seen Serena?" Silas Hawthorne asked, his voice carrying a subtle urgency.
"Not in the dressing room?" Bianca Lynch said; the last time she checked, Serena was still there.
"She’s not." Silas Hawthorne replied, "She’s not in the restroom either; no one is in the dressing room."
"Don’t worry, maybe a friend visited her and she went out with them," Bianca Lynch calmed Silas Hawthorne.
"I’ll go look around. You take people to check the surveillance," Silas Hawthorne said.
"Alright." Bianca Lynch also sensed something was wrong and immediately sprang into action.
Silas Hawthorne, dressed in a suit, moved quickly through the crowd.
Serena, in a wedding dress, should be conspicuous, but he searched high and low without a trace of her.
Fear grew within his heart.
He remembered the moment in the morning when Serena smiled and agreed to marry him.
Was she fleeing the wedding?
Didn’t she want to marry him?
Did she... still have feelings for Julian Lawson?
No, definitely not...
Silas Hawthorne asked many people, looked everywhere, but couldn’t find any trace of Serena.
His tightly clenched fists were trembling slightly, sensing something terribly wrong.
"Silas!" Just then, Bianca Lynch rushed over.
"How did it go?" Silas Hawthorne’s voice trembled slightly.
"Serena was kidnapped!" Bianca Lynch said, her face pale, "She..."
Before Bianca Lynch could finish, Silas Hawthorne was already bolting to the monitoring room.
Ethan Lynch, Clara Huxley, and others were already there.
Seraphina directly ran over to cling to his leg. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
They were checking the surveillance.
"Silas!"
"It’s Julian Lawson!"
"Julian Lawson somehow got in and kidnapped Serena!"
Silas Hawthorne strode to the monitor.
This was the surveillance outside the dressing room.
Onscreen, Julian Lawson covered Serena’s mouth, pried open her fingers clutching the door handle, and forcibly dragged her away.
Although Julian Lawson was in disguise, Silas Hawthorne would recognize him even if he turned to ashes!
Rage nearly consumed him in that instant.
"Find him!" Silas Hawthorne’s eyes were blood-red, roaring, "Bring Serena back!"
Silas Hawthorne, usually gentle and elegant, was furious, in a rampage.
Then, another explosive news arrived.
The bride had vanished!
Serena was abducted by Julian Lawson!
...
The news spread fast, and soon Caleb Lawson received a call.
"What? Julian’s at home." Caleb Lawson said; he specifically had someone watching Julian Lawson’s place, "What? You saw Julian in the surveillance abducting Serena?"
Caleb Lawson shot up from his seat, nearly falling.
The old madam immediately supported him.
"I’ll go check right now." Caleb Lawson said, keeping the call on as he grabbed his cane and rushed outside.
Yesterday night, Julian Lawson came to the manor and parked his car here.
Upon checking now, it was gone!
Caleb Lawson felt a rush of unease.
They hurriedly headed to Julian Lawson’s residence, only to find someone lying outside.
It was the person Caleb Lawson had sent over to watch Julian Lawson secretly.
It was over!
Caleb Lawson unwillingly pushed inside, checked around; the house was empty, no one was there.
"Wake up!" Caleb Lawson tapped the man’s face.
The person gradually woke up, seeing Caleb Lawson, his face paled, "Sir, Master Julian knocked me out and fled!"
