Playtime's Over, CEO: She's Really Done With You
Chapter 294: The Final Deadline Arrives, Serena Sterling Appears with the File Folder
CHAPTER 294: CHAPTER 294: THE FINAL DEADLINE ARRIVES, SERENA STERLING APPEARS WITH THE FILE FOLDER
There were many die-hard fans of Vera Hansen on-site and online, and someone immediately spoke up.
"Who knows if those pictures are real or fake, maybe the blood is photoshopped!"
Among the crowd, there were still some rational people, and they immediately said, "Didn’t Vera Hansen just admit with her own mouth that Serena Sterling fell down the stairs? And now you’re saying it’s fake? Are you having a battle within your own mind?"
That person also got flustered and said loudly, "I meant the miscarriage and blood being photoshopped, Serena just fell down the stairs!"
The expressions of the crowd changed.
There was a moment of silence, then someone said, "Just?"
"Just fell down the stairs?"
How could anyone say "just" about such a thing?
An ordinary person falling down stairs that high would get injured, not to mention a pregnant woman.
There were still a lot of rational people, and they immediately distanced themselves from that person, as if afraid of being infected.
That die-hard fan, angered and embarrassed, took out their phone and pointed at the pictures, saying, "All this blood, and this critical condition notice, they can all be photoshopped!"
"Besides!"
The die-hard fan said loudly, "Didn’t you see it was Julian Lawson who pushed? It wasn’t Vera Hansen who did it, if you’re looking for someone, it should be Julian Lawson, what does it have to do with Vera Hansen?"
"I’ve never seen such a shameless person." Someone in the crowd said this.
"Vera Hansen slapped, Julian Lawson even gave her the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, neither of them can talk about the other."
The scene became noisy.
Vera Hansen looked extremely "flustered."
She said loudly, "Everyone stop arguing. Although I don’t know what happened after Serena fell down the stairs, I really shouldn’t have left without checking."
Vera subtly guided, "Her doctor friend was right there that day, I thought it was nothing serious, and the reason why we argued before... never mind, there’s no point in talking about it."
"Everyone, please don’t argue because of me." Vera said, wiping her tears, "If Serena targets me because of this incident..."
She looked into the camera, and said pitifully, "I can only say, Serena, you’ve misunderstood me. It was just an accident."
She forced a "sad" smile, "Anyway, I’m almost dying, you don’t need to dwell on this accident. You’ve done so much over these days, my illness has progressed rapidly, with less time left, consider it as me paying with my life, is that okay?"
These words were extremely subtle.
As if she was explaining, as if she was bowing to Serena.
But in reality, it was implying that Serena, because of an accident, something Vera hadn’t done, went to great lengths to frame Vera, causing Vera’s illness to progress quickly, shortening her lifespan.
Connor Goldsmith understood and immediately guided.
The die-hard fans also started to charge.
"Why target Vera Hansen? It was an accident."
"It’s just venting anger!"
"Serena refuses to face her problems, refuses to admit that she accidentally fell down the stairs, and blames everything on Vera Hansen!"
"Vera Hansen is just a patient with only a few days left to live! Vera’s illness changing is all because of Serena, she just wants to push Vera to death!"
...
In no time, the hashtag #SerenaWantsToKillVera was skyrocketing in popularity.
Many die-hard fans on-site were all speaking up for Vera Hansen.
All saying that Serena was the one who accidentally fell down the stairs.
They seemed to have forgotten all the things Vera Hansen had done to Serena that had been proven recently.
Forcing the sale of songs, claiming them as her own infringing on copyright, suppressing Serena on "Heavenly Sound," livestreaming at Serena’s former marital home, various bindings for marketing, and more, and so on.
Everyone was arguing, and 12:00 came just like that.
Serena looked at the noisy crowd over there, and on the screen, Vera Hansen was looking into the camera saying, "It’s 12 o’clock, Serena, what do you plan to do?"
"What do you want to do, retaliate against me over an accident?"
Accompanied by her seemingly helpless expression at the moment, gaining sympathy from countless die-hard fans.
She said, "Or, like after yesterday’s concert ended, you expect user 567 to expose everything for you."
While hinting that user 567 and Serena were in cahoots, she pointed out that what Serena had on her was just that, Vera Hansen was purely innocent.
Serena looked calm, at 12 o’clock, she opened the car door and got out.
With bodyguards leading the way, Serena, holding a file folder, walked towards the crowd step by step.
It was already 12 o’clock, Vera Hansen watching Serena not updating her status for a long time, felt smug.
It was indeed like that, Serena was just trying to scare her.
Perhaps, as she just said, releasing those pictures from the stairwell was Serena’s biggest leverage.
She had just seen the pictures; no one could know that day she took the chance to push Julian Lawson’s hand, making Serena fall down.
Serena didn’t know, Bianca Lynch didn’t know, even Julian Lawson still doesn’t know.
What happened that day was flawlessly executed by her.
The more she thought about it, the more "innocent" her expression became.
She looked into the camera and said, "What? Serena, why haven’t you updated your status, did I guess correctly?"
Her eyes were red, looking very haggard, and many fans were shouting for her.
"Serena come out!"
"Serena apologize!"
Both online and offline.
Many onlookers who didn’t know the truth were now curious, where was Serena?
It was already past 12:00, and she still hadn’t updated her status.
Just when everyone thought Serena chickened out and wouldn’t appear, outside Vivian’s Floral Studio, a sudden commotion broke out outside the crowd.
Everyone looked over.
They saw many people coming from that direction.
Those people asked those surrounding to make way.
"What are you doing?"
"Why should we make way for you?"
But then, they saw Serena being surrounded by these people.
Then they made way.
She didn’t respond online, but came directly offline.
The bodyguards were protecting Serena, making their way through.
Though it took a little time, finally, Serena arrived at Vera Hansen’s stall.
Serena looked at Vera Hansen before her and said, "I’m here."
Serena didn’t show any fear!
For a moment, there were more onlookers, with the buzz skyrocketing.
Vera Hansen gritted her teeth, thinking Serena wouldn’t dare to come, but it didn’t matter, Serena couldn’t go against her!
"Serena..." thinking, Vera Hansen "weakly" smiled, looking like a helpless victim.
In contrast to Vera Hansen, was Serena’s face.
Her face showed no joy or sadness, only calmness.
She just looked at Vera Hansen, holding a file folder in her hand.
"Vera Hansen, have you thought it through?" Serena said, "Do you want to confess?"
She had given Vera Hansen a chance before.
This time, it wasn’t about giving her a chance, but about letting Vera confirm once again, and then putting an end to everything in front of everyone.
Vera still looked very innocent.
"I did nothing wrong." Vera said, "I don’t need to confess."
"Great." Serena said, raising the file folder in her hand.
