Everything online is fernting.
At this ti, the Hawthorne Group released a video.
It’s the scene from when the tanzanite was still being auctioned at the gem auction.
It’s the process of Serena Sterling buying it from the Hawthorne Group.
Apart from Serena, everyone else in the video was blurred out, and their real faces and identities couldn’t be seen.
At that ti, Serena was sitting alone in the corner.
She raised her paddle again and again.
The opponent taunted, "If it were anyone else, it’s just a piece of stone, let it go. But you’re Julian Lawson’s wife. I absolutely won’t give this stone to you!"
But back then, Serena just looked at the opponent and said, "What conditions are needed for you to let have it."
The opponent laughed heartily, looking at her with hatred, "Here, in front of everyone, learn to bark like a dog and say Julian Lawson is just a dog, then agree to my collaboration terms, and only then will I stop."
Serena looked at him, smiled, and stood up.
Just when everyone thought she might agree, she directly took the number plate and slamd it fiercely into the man’s face.
"You!"
The man was furious and wanted to rush forward, but she didn’t move at all.
"I’ll sue you! You’re attacking people!" The man shouted.
But she just slightly lifted the corner of her mouth, smiled, and said, "Go ahead, this lightly tossing number plate will fade before you even step outside, do you think you can prove an injury?"
"Serena!"
"Yes, I’m intentionally humiliating you," she said, her voice light.
"I won’t allow you to insult him."
"Under any circumstances."
Serena said with a slight lift of her mouth, but her eyes held a coldness.
She said, "Do you understand?"
"Aren’t you afraid of not getting that stone?" the man roared.
Serena rely smiled, her calmness in stark contrast to the other’s wrath.
"You can continue," she said, "Do you think you can trouble , or do you think you can compete with The Lawson Corporation?"
The scene was silent.
The furious man was stuck, unable to advance or retreat.
Finally, Serena smiled, "There are so scratches from when I hit you, do you want to wash them off?"
Only then did the man find a way out.
He uttered a couple more harsh words before finally leaving.
But just as he walked out the main door, he said, "Serena, you charge ahead for him, do everything for him, aren’t you afraid one day he’ll leave you, making you a joke of the whole Aeston?"
But Serena didn’t respond, she rely looked at the other bidders, "Anyone else want to place a bid?"
No one answered from the audience.
The man snorted one last ti and threw out, "Serena, you will regret this!"
Serena’s response was to successfully win the bid for the tanzanite.
However, due to the other’s price hike, she paid an even higher price.
Later, when she received the tanzanite at the backstage, her gentle smile appeared in the video.
Soone beside her asked, "Mrs. Lawson, so happy? Is there any use for this stone?"
She smiled happily, looking at the deep blue stone, "If there’s a child, it would be nice to make jewelry for the child. I think Julian will also like it."
This video went viral online.
Serena rarely appeared online, and most of the ti she seed like a robot, rely a fixture beside Julian Lawson.
It’s rare to see her so vibrant.
With the release of this video, her bold and decisive nature was revealed, as well as her deep affection and loyalty towards her husband.
"Looking at that tanzanite, ntioning children and her husband, she seed so gentle and happy. Why would she let it go in the end?"
"Why? Do you even need to ask? Are you dumb or sothing!"
...
A war was waging online.
anwhile, at Moonlight Manor.
Julian Lawson could hardly stand, leaning against the ground, watching the video.
Recalling the mont she smiled gently, placing his hand on her belly, when she said to him, "Julian, I’ll take good care of my body. We can always have another child in the future."
The child they lost in Frelia was a perpetual pain for them.
They seldom ntioned what happened back then.
It was a scar they didn’t dare to uncover, so he could only indulge himself in her body repeatedly, hoping to compensate for the past regret and have another child.
This was his obsession.
Yet, he even competed for the birthstone she wanted to prepare for a child.
Though they didn’t have a child yet, that stone held different significance.
What was she thinking when she bid against him?
When he saw Vera Hansen sitting beside him, watching him raise the bid each ti, did she feel... very hurt?
Julian hung his head, and a tear slid from the corner of his eye, trickling down his cheek.
What else did he not know?
What had he done?
...
On the other side.
The online sentint was almost one-sided, with most people supporting Serena.
At this mont, the final episode of the "Heavenly Sound" live show had just concluded.
The host announced the ranking publicly.
Irene, who is Serena, was the undisputed champion.
When the championship trophy was presented to Serena by the organizers, the entire stage basked in special effects, the gorgeous lights shining upon her.
Brilliant and dazzling.
Countless golden strears fell upon her, resplendent and brilliant, almost freezing this mont in ti.
The audience erupted in thunderous applause, and celebratory comnts flooded the internet.
In that mont, countless people were chanting Serena’s na.
After stepping off stage, Serena let out a sigh of relief.
"The competition is finally over," she said, smiling to Chloe beside her.
Chloe nodded vigorously, then led Serena to the backstage, grinning.
"All the representatives of the partners are here to sign the contracts! Hehehe!" Chloe said with a smile.
Each company had promised so resources previously, and now they were all here.
As soon as the rankings ca out, these resources would be increntally arranged!
The more Chloe thought, the happier she beca.
Jasper Ford also nodded excitedly beside them.
As they headed to the backstage, indeed, all the representatives were there, including Hawthorne Group. Earlier, Silas Hawthorne and June Hawthorne had gone out to eat, leaving Silas at the table.
Upon seeing Serena and the others co in, he stood up and extended his hand, "Congratulations on winning the championship."
Silas Hawthorne wore a perfectly appropriate smile, without any hint of overstepping.
Given this...
Serena lifted her smile and shook his hand.
"Thank you," she said with a smile, "I hope we have further comrcial collaborations and pleasant cooperation in the future."
"Certainly," Silas Hawthorne smiled elegantly, "Pleasant cooperation."
Without any disagreents, the contracts had already been reviewed by professional lawyers beforehand, so now it was just a formal procedure.
Serena signed her na.
Each party kept their copies.
All partners nodded in satisfaction.
Although Beatrice Sawyer was unhappy, she didn’t dare to show it.
In fact, when she found out Serena was Irene, she had already decided to keep a low profile.
Being second place was still good, with so resources, so she could only comfort herself this way.
The third-place participant never thought they could win, so they took their resources happily.
The only person who was very sullen was Vera Hansen.
At that mont, outside, a large crowd was still gathered. Previously, they ca to protest against Irene, but now it was completely different. She was a bit afraid to go out.
