CHAPTER 335: CHAPTER 335: YOU THINK YOU CAN RUN AFTER LYING TO ME?

Vera Hansen cried with her head down, not looking at Julian Lawson.

"I will be very obedient," she continued sobbing, "Or you can just send me abroad. I’ll stay overseas for the rest of my life and won’t come back to interfere with you two."

It would be best to send her directly abroad.

If that didn’t work, she had a bait to let her explain to Serena Sterling, and she didn’t believe Julian Lawson wouldn’t take the bait.

As long as she could get to the surface and had a moment of free movement on a busy street, she could find a way to escape.

But Julian Lawson didn’t answer her.

This made Vera a little puzzled.

She kept crying, quietly lifted her head, and stole a glance at Julian Lawson.

But what she saw was a face twisted by a mix of emotions.

This made Vera pause; she even forgot to fake her crying.

"Brother Julian..."

Suddenly, Julian Lawson laughed lowly, his eyes bloodshot, his voice as if it came from the depths of the earth.

"Everything will return to the beginning?" he hoarsely repeated.

Once upon a time, he thought so too.

But can things really go back?

Between him and Serena, there was already the loss of a child’s life.

Even if Vera leveraged it, it was he who personally pushed it.

He never looked back afterward, nor even went to see her.

"It will, it will!" Vera instantly said, "I’ll explain and tell her your reasons for doing this."

"Serena is a woman too; she can understand how painful it was for me to endure all that for her, and understand that you did it for her."

Seeing Julian Lawson still smiling in a terrifying way, Vera continued to speak, fast.

"Right, and about the child," Vera said, "Tell her it was my doing and has nothing to do with you."

Vera gripped Julian Lawson’s hand: "Brother Julian, let me explain to her..."

But Julian Lawson kept laughing.

The laughter grew louder, becoming more hysterical.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

He laughed and coughed, the cough echoing in the entire basement, along with his breath like a broken bellows, sounding very frightening.

"Brother Julian..." Vera felt a little scared.

"You still want to deceive me!" Julian Lawson pushed Vera away fiercely.

Hoarsely, he said, "Vera, I know everything now, everything was a setup by you and Preston Langley!"

Vera’s mind was blank, she subconsciously denied: "No, it’s not..."

Julian Lawson threw the blood-stained documents on Vera, and they scattered.

"I found out that the ones who hit those paparazzi, the ones who hit Serena, were all Preston Langley!"

"And these too!"

"These documents, these photos!"

Julian Lawson’s eyes were bloodshot, like a demon.

One word at a time, he said: "Well, Preston Langley, well, Vera Hansen!"

Vera propped her hand on the ground, blankly looking at the documents on the floor, finally settling her gaze on the photo of her and Preston Langley entering a hotel hand in hand.

It’s over.

That was Vera’s first thought.

It’s really over this time.

The beginning of everything was this setup, and it was also her biggest secret.

At that time, Preston Langley told her that Julian Lawson had discovered his leak to abroad, and because that was an international leak.

Some of The Lawson Corporation’s secrets were not just business secrets, some advanced technology even related to government orders.

When the time came, see how it would be judged.

If it was a commercial secret leak, it might be a huge compensation along with imprisonment.

But if it was treason, then...

Usually, matters related to the state are heavily punished.

So the only option for Preston was to flee.

At that time, Preston wanted to escape with Vera.

But Vera was unwilling.

She was just using him and didn’t truly love him, how could she possibly give up a good life to flee abroad?

Even if she went abroad, she would live a life in hiding, which wasn’t what she wanted.

What she wanted was to be among the elite.

And she had been eyeing Julian Lawson for a long time.

So she told Preston Langley: "Brother Preston, this won’t work; we should blackmail Julian Lawson one last time."

"Use Serena to blackmail Julian Lawson. If it doesn’t work, I’ll stay back and then over time take away half of Julian Lawson’s wealth."

"We have to take enough at once, or after going abroad, we would need money everywhere we go, what would we do?"

She told Preston Langley her plan, specifically to use some things to force Serena to approach Julian Lawson, coercing him to give money.

But Vera didn’t tell Preston Langley her real intention.

She wanted to take this chance to become Mrs. Lawson directly!

She stood in the office with an envelope in hand for a long time that day.

Someone asked if she had any matters, but she just smiled without saying anything.

Serena never knew the existence of that document.

Seeing the time was almost up, she told Preston Langley, Serena didn’t take the bait, and they proceeded with their second plan.

And then everything else happened.

Everything went smoothly.

Preston Langley’s underlings were some desperadoes who followed him, collaborating with her in acting out a play.

Everything went very smoothly.

Or rather, for her, everything went smoothly.

Because at that time their plan was for Preston Langley to successfully flee.

But she clung to him, saying it might be a long time before they would meet again, so they had a final farewell...

She gave Preston Langley the wrong time, Preston thought Julian Lawson wouldn’t come so soon, so...

She always took pride in her plan, thinking she had fooled everyone, and she was the only beneficiary in the end.

But now to be told, Julian Lawson actually knew.

Before she even had the chance to escape, Julian Lawson knew!

Everything flashed through Vera’s mind.

Beside her was still Julian Lawson’s maniacal laughter, and Vera’s heart was full of fear.

She subconsciously wanted to run.

But in the next moment, Julian Lawson grabbed her shoulder, slamming her hard against the wall.

"Run away?" Julian Lawson’s voice seemed squeezed out through gritted teeth.

"After doing all this, fooling me like this, you want to just walk away easily?"

Julian Lawson looked terrifying, even more like a demon in the dim basement.

Vera’s whole body trembled slightly, unsure of what to do.

"Brother Julian... I..." she tried to say something, but Julian Lawson punched the wall beside her instead.

The sound of things crashing made Vera even more panicked.

"Vera, maybe Preston Langley never told you, my methods, Julian Lawson’s!"

Vera could say nothing, only look fearfully at Julian Lawson.

"You can’t, Julian Lawson, you can’t..." After a long time, she finally said.

"Let me out, now that you’ve locked me here, it’s against the law!"
