CHAPTER 314: CHAPTER 314: ARE YOU READY FOR THE FINAL RECKONING?

Since the countdown to Vera Hansen’s death began until now.

Every event is clearly marked.

Vera Hansen announces the countdown—Serena Sterling and Julian Lawson initiate divorce proceedings, entering a cooling-off period.

Vera Hansen participates in "Heavenly Sound"—Serena falls down the stairs and miscarries shortly thereafter, and uses the song "Micro Love," which was forcibly bought from Serena.

Vera Hansen attends a charity banquet—Serena brings out the Tanzanite, Julian Lawson purchases the Tanzanite, Vera Hansen doesn’t spend a penny, and later additionally receives a Ruby, while Serena and Julian Lawson are still in the cooling-off period.

...

Vera Hansen conducts a charity sale—according to current information, the confrontation between Serena and Vera Hansen will conclude in a few days, and this sale’s proceeds will be included in the confrontation data.

It’s clearly laid out.

Then the summary reveals—[If Vera Hansen hadn’t been discovered, she would have gained both money and reputation, and assuming she smoothly married Julian Lawson, her future benefits would be even greater.]

This revelation immediately prompted relevant personnel to calculate.

An expert compiled all of Vera Hansen’s benefits in simple and understandable language.

"Even if the illness was exposed at the end, it wouldn’t affect her because the money is already in hand, and she’s become Mrs. Lawson, at most she’d leave the industry!"

"Her journey has been smooth!"

"Of course it’s smooth; the ’only six months’ card is like an immunity. Whatever Serena does gets attacked, and countless people pity and help Vera Hansen."

"Hearing this, I suddenly feel Serena is so miserable; she’s clearly the victim, yet always forced to yield to Vera Hansen."

"It’s disgusting; Vera Hansen just used netizens’ sympathy to bully Serena!"

"Haven’t you noticed she still wants to argue now, claiming she’s been deceived!"

...

The netizens are furious.

Truly furious.

They were used as pawns!

But things haven’t ended here.

As time slowly passed, some people from the police station came out.

Previously incited into a frenzy, after being questioned for a while, some have cleared their minds.

After coming out, they also spoke up.

Someone named Nadia spoke online—

Nadia: Everyone knows I’ve always supported Vera Hansen. This time I went with her to Vivian’s Floral Studio.

After this incident, I’ve realized I’ve been utterly played.

I’ve always trusted Vera Hansen, fighting fiercely, investing money and effort for her.

But just like the companion said, Vera Hansen had the time to update online yet let us act meanly at Vivian’s Floral Studio without stopping us.

Because of Vera Hansen, I’ve always hated Serena, even to the extent of irrational outbursts before.

However, during this time at the police station, I unexpectedly received help from Serena.

I now realize how gravely I’ve been deceived.

...

Following Nadia, many more people spoke up.

Prior, there hadn’t been any major incidents, so few were awake, but this time it’s different.

It’s a vicious event.

When they were controlled by the police, a few people’s lives were uncertain, and they are still being rescued.

They all have to bear responsibility.

Nadia was hiding in a corner not daring to participate, and with a lawyer’s bail, she got out quickly.

The others involved are panicking now.

And their relatives, families, friends, none of them do not hate Vera Hansen.

Reporters also released photos taken outside the police station.

Indeed, you can see Serena and Silas Hawthorne busy inside.

Many people also testified.

...

The companion has stated everything that happened at Vivian’s Floral Studio, requesting protection.

Vera Hansen recorded a statement but emphasized she did nothing, and it’s all the fans’ spontaneous actions, claiming herself as a victim.

She wants to clean her record.

And Julian Lawson, he’s already back at the hospital.

The physical pain continues, but his heart is numb.

What should he do?

...

Time slowly passes.

During these days, Serena has done many things.

She’s rented a new office, contacted previous associates.

Prepared everything to quickly take over.

Others haven’t been idle.

Crystal maintains Serena’s online reputation.

Ford Entertainment, as Serena’s agency, has been actively cooperating with relevant matters lately.

Serena and Vera Hansen’s recent data are sent to the Lawson Family, where they have arranged someone to make the final tally.

Vera Hansen has been quiet these days.

She hasn’t spoken up online.

Unknown what she’s doing, but it seems she vanished after that day from the police station.

Julian Lawson has been recuperating.

Most of Julian Lawson’s injuries are bodily bruises, so he has recovered quite a bit after a few days.

Now he can move around in a wheelchair.

Julian Lawson handled many of The Lawson Corporation’s affairs, stabilizing the stock price.

But his mental state isn’t good.

The elderly couple at Lawson Family are very worried, having found a psychologist for Julian Lawson.

But Julian Lawson wouldn’t see a doctor.

"I know my condition." Julian Lawson just responded with this sentence.

This left Isla Lawson very angry.

She’s approached Serena many times, but Serena won’t discuss anything outside work.

Isla Lawson is helpless.

And finally, this day arrived.

This morning, Serena got out of bed, opened the curtains, and walked to the balcony.

She previously agreed to move to the master bedroom with Silas Hawthorne, but recently she’s been busy and grounded, so she still stays here for now.

At this moment, she stands alone on the balcony, watching the sun gradually rise over the horizon.

Dawn.

Once everything is confirmed today, she’ll begin a new Chapter of her life.

"Knock knock."

A knock on the door is heard.

"Come in." Serena said softly.

After a while, someone walked up to her side.

Serena looked at the person standing next to her, Silas Hawthorne.

"Are you ready?" Silas Hawthorne asked.

Serena nodded.

She’s waited for this day for a long time.

Hoping everything goes smoothly.

Meanwhile, Julian Lawson, sleepless through the night, also sits up from the apartment’s large bed.

Gazing at the sun on the horizon.

Today is the last chance.

Can he save her?

...

Last night it had just rained, making the morning air clear.

On the street, pedestrians hurry by, and some are already working outside.

Many couldn’t sleep this night.

The elderly couple at Lawson Family too.

"What do you think will happen today?" The old lady asked worriedly.

"I don’t know, I’m just afraid Julian won’t be able to bear it." Caleb Lawson shook his head.

The old lady hesitated and said, "Do you think Serena really is with Silas Hawthorne?"

"That Hawthorne boy has been determined." Caleb Lawson said helplessly, "Julian has realized, but Silas Hawthorne..."

Both fell silent.

Finally, Caleb Lawson shook his head: "Let nature take its course."

The old lady nodded, and they prepared to set off.

Time flows, and all personnel related are gathering at The Lawson Corporation, waiting for the final accounting.
