CHAPTER 212: CHAPTER 212: IF YOU SEEK THRILLS, SEE THEM THROUGH TO THE END

Time passed slowly.

The next day, Serena launched the Hawthorne Group’s yellow gemstone series.

This time, she adorned the street with sunflowers, which looked stunning under the sunlight.

And within the path between the sunflowers, there was a continuously flowing golden river.

A clever design was conceived here.

Serena appeared in front of everyone’s cameras, smiling as she looked at the crowd, and said, "This river is called time."

"There is a famous saying—one cannot step into the same river twice."

"But in this golden river, it’s different."

Serena posed a riddle to everyone.

"Now, we will select some audience members on site to join us inside, and you will all understand what I mean."

Serena said, then signaled the staff to start choosing people.

At this moment of selection, someone exclaimed, "Vera has started her live stream!"

"Oh my god, where is she?"

"This villa is incredible!"

Serena looked at the people over there, her brows slightly furrowed.

Recently, Vera seemed to be behaving herself. According to Vera’s side, she had been resting and preparing for her first live stream.

However, according to what Jasper Ford told her, the information from inquiries showed that Vera’s first live stream would start in Ian Yates, who is Julian Lawson’s friend’s villa.

Serena also knew a bit about Ian Yates, especially since she had been spending more time on the Hawthorne Group’s side recently. There was a store with a sales associate named Clara Huxley, rumored to be Ian Yates’s girlfriend.

No, she should be called an ex-girlfriend.

That day Serena indeed saw this woman named Clara Huxley fiercely taking down Ian Yates.

Even now, she still wanted to say, well done.

"Oh my god, no, wasn’t it said to be in Ian Yates’s villa before? Where is this? This seems like Julian Lawson’s villa."

While Serena was pondering this, another voice caught her attention.

"No, this seems like the wedding house Serena and Julian Lawson had back then!"

"What?!"

Everyone on-site focused their attention on Serena, the lead designer of this new product launch.

Not just those present.

The internet exploded.

What appeared in Vera’s live stream interface was not the announced location, but a hillside villa.

This villa was luxurious, with a large courtyard situated on the hillside of Aeston, offering an unbeatable view of Aeston’s nightscape.

Among the internet users, some are incredibly resourceful, so it was quickly dug up where this was.

Especially when Vera’s live stream camera entered the gate, and the wall opposite still hung the wedding photo of Serena and Julian Lawson.

This was even more of a solid proof.

"Wow, impressive!"

"How did Vera get access to this place?"

"On the day of Hawthorne Group’s second new product launch led by Serena, Vera started her first luxury villa floral series live stream in Serena and Julian Lawson’s former wedding house!"

"Who let her in? Was it Julian Lawson?"

"Julian Lawson really doesn’t regard Serena, he hasn’t even taken down the wedding photo yet, and already let Vera live stream!"

"Oh, this is too interesting; I have to go to Serena’s side and see how she’ll handle it!"

...

Secretary Chaucer was the first to get the news.

The elderly couple of the Lawson Family called immediately afterward.

"Jude Chaucer, what’s going on?!" Caleb Lawson’s voice was furious.

Secretary Chaucer shrank back and said, "Sir, it’s still not clear, but from what President Lawson said, this live stream was supposed to happen at Ian Yates’s villa. Somehow, it shifted to the wed... The Hillside Villa."

"Quickly find out! Also, immediately get people to kick out Vera from there!" Caleb Lawson was almost mad with anger, his face turning red from rage.

And immediately called Julian Lawson, but Julian Lawson’s phone said it was out of service area.

Secretary Chaucer saw it and said, "Something happened in Darrow, and President Lawson rushed over in the early morning, so he must be dealing with it now..."

The area where he handled it must be blocking the signal, leaving Julian Lawson unreachable.

"Call that brat Ian Yates immediately!" Caleb Lawson roared.

"Yes!"

Ian Yates took a while to answer the phone.

He was still not sober from his hangover; for the past few days, Clara Huxley had angered him enough that he had drunk for several days and was oblivious to what was happening.

"What?" He staggered towards the bathroom.

"Right, Julian said before that Vera would go to my house villa for this live stream."

"She didn’t go? Where did she go then?"

"What?! She went to Julian and Serena’s wedding house?! That’s it!"

Ian Yates sobered instantly, ignoring everything else, grabbed a mouthwash, dressed, and ran out the door.

While running, he called someone at his villa.

"What’s going on!" Ian Yates shouted.

"Young master, we don’t know how, but the pipes burst in the villa, water was everywhere. The team from earlier took a look and said the live stream couldn’t proceed, so they left."

The staff at Ian Yates’s villa immediately replied.

"Damn!"

Ian Yates hung up the phone, no matter what, he drove straight to The Hillside Villa.

...

The internet was abuzz with discussion. The Hawthorne Group’s live event site was even more crowded, directly exploding.

Everyone was watching Serena standing in the center of the crowd, with loud buzzing discussions and finger-pointing drowning out all other sounds.

Countless people were taking photos or live streaming of Serena.

Many were waiting to see Serena make a fool of herself!

Online and offline, this live stream duel had already been tagged as an iconic scene, with a popular meme—

"Why are you wearing Pinru’s clothes?"

"If you seek excitement, see it through to the end!"

Attracting immense attention.

Serena was surrounded in the center, and as word spread, more people came.

Someone from the Hawthorne Group came up immediately, and Serena’s walkie-talkie also had Silas Hawthorne’s voice.

"Serena..."

Before Silas could finish, Serena already spoke, "Let me speak first."

"I already know about Vera’s situation."

"I’ll handle what comes next, but Silas, can I talk about that matter?"

Serena whispered a few sentences, seeking Silas’s opinion.

"Of course, you can." Silas answered immediately.

"Okay." Serena put down the walkie-talkie.

She looked at the dense crowd, not terrified; on the contrary, she was about to smile.

Understanding something requires seeing both sides.

Vera thought she was bringing her setback, siege, and mockery.

But Serena didn’t see it that way.

These, after all, are visitors, customers, and excellent endorsement guests brought to her by Vera herself.

"Everyone, seeing so many people here, I will start a full live broadcast of this experience." Serena’s voice echoed clearly through the microphone.

A giant screen lit up on one side, and someone handed the live streaming device to Serena.

She had always excelled in leveraging forces.

Since Vera delivered people herself, Serena would accept them.

"Everyone, follow me as we step into the river of time." Serena smiled and led everyone into the golden river.

On the other side, seeing all this, Vera sneered inwardly.

"Crafting mystery, Serena, prepare to lose face!"

The next moment, her smiling face appeared on the screen.

"Everyone, our first live stream is officially starting."

Immediately, someone with nothing better to do put the two live stream screens together, one on each side, synchronously live streaming.
