"Okay." Serena agreed, then hung up the phone, quickly washed up, and rushed over with the agreent.
In the taxi, she called Silas and asked him to help send Seraphina to kindergarten.
"Did sothing happen?" Silas asked while picking up Seraphina.
"There’s sothing I need to deal with at The Lawson Corporation." Serena replied.
"I’ll co pick you up later." he said.
Serena looked at the road ahead and nodded, "Okay."
...
On the other side, at The Lawson Corporation.
The elderly couple, Julian Lawson, and Vera Hansen were all there.
Everyone’s expression was different.
The elderly couple looked a bit exhausted, clearly indicating they hadn’t slept well all night.
Caleb Lawson occasionally gave Julian Lawson an angry glare.
Julian Lawson appeared very calm, so calm that not a ripple could be seen.
Vera Hansen had her head down, lost in thought.
She was holding another phone in her hand.
She had said the previous phone’s screen broke and wasn’t using it anymore, fearing Julian Lawson might take it again.
"Buzz buzz."
Vera Hansen’s phone vibrated.
She glanced at the ssage.
[Micro Love’s theater change has been completed.]
Vera Hansen let out a sigh of relief.
The procedure to change theaters was initiated during Heavenly Sound’s ti; it had taken a long while, and she had used various thods and the Lawson Corporation’s connections to speed it up, significantly shortening the ti, and now it’s finally done.
This way, she felt rather confident.
Although yesterday’s live broadcast intrusion at The Hillside Villa was exposed as her forcing her way in, she hadn’t responded yet, planning to find a way to turn things around.
At worst, she wouldn’t go live anymore; as long as there’s Micro Love, she would win.
Thinking of this, Vera Hansen felt quite at ease. Today, the Lawson family suddenly called her and Serena over, although they hadn’t ntioned what they wanted to discuss, she believed, Serena was now definitely not considered part of the Lawson family, Caleb Lawson wouldn’t side with Serena.
Ti slowly passed, and after a while, Secretary Chaucer knocked on the door.
"Miss Sheridan is here." Jude Chaucer said at the door.
Caleb Lawson gave an emotionless glance at Julian Lawson and said to Jude Chaucer, "Let her in."
With the sound of high heels approaching, Serena walked in.
Serena had only just entered when she felt the atmosphere was off.
Especially Julian Lawson, his gaze towards her was very complicated.
Serena didn’t want to think too much about it, she simply nodded towards the elderly couple in greeting to indicate her arrival.
Caleb Lawson and his wife exchanged a look, both sighed longingly.
"We called you over today for one reason." Seeing Jude Chaucer close the office door, Caleb Lawson began to speak.
Serena didn’t interrupt, listening carefully to what Caleb Lawson had to say.
"We both feel our health hasn’t been good lately, lacking energy, so we want to shorten the agreent ti; three months is too long. Let’s reduce it to two months, what do you think?" Caleb Lawson looked at Serena, then at Vera Hansen.
A month had already passed. If shortened to 2 months, only one month would remain.
Vera Hansen felt heaven was assisting her upon hearing this.
Micro Love’s theater change was complete; she could set the release date soon, while Serena’s current bargaining chip was likely Hawthorne Group’s new product.
The product launch process previously took 3 months, accelerating now would an skipping two series of new products; how could it possibly compete with her Micro Love!
Thinking of this, Vera Hansen nodded and said, "I’m fine with it."
Serena slightly frowned.
She looked at the two elderly people.
This was actually better than so of the possibilities she had considered when coming over.
At least this showdown could continue.
She still had a chance to retrieve the Sheridan family’s possessions from their grasp through this thod.
However, so strategies needed slight adjustnts.
Serena glanced at Vera Hansen beside her.
Vera Hansen was also looking at her.
At this mont, as if noticing Serena’s gaze, Vera Hansen smiled and said, "Serena, I don’t think there’s any problem, Grandpa and Grandma Lawson definitely need good rest, don’t you think?"
Vera Hansen rembered when she went to handle the theater change earlier, Jasper Ford’s people kept causing trouble for hers, clearly indicating Serena was indeed very afraid of Micro Love going live.
The more she thought about it, the more Vera Hansen felt even more assured.
On the other side, the elderly couple exchanged another look, their decision to shorten the ti was for the quick conclusion of the showdown.
After hearing Serena accept Silas’ engagent proposal yesterday, they felt they couldn’t wait any longer.
If they waited another two months, Serena and Silas might already be married.
Shortening by one month was the result of their discussion.
Because they had already signed a contract before, modifying it required consultation from multiple parties; shortening it too much, Serena probably wouldn’t agree.
One month was the longest duration they could psychologically accept.
With just one month left, Serena’s ti was significantly reduced; she would likely have no ti for Silas and the related wedding preparations.
Thinking this, Caleb Lawson deliberately coughed twice, appearing weak.
"Serena, what do you think?" he asked.
Serena looked at the elderly couple, eventually nodded.
"Alright, I agree." Serena said, "But I have one request."
Vera Hansen pouted, thinking this was expected; she said, "Serena, you..."
"My request is, after this, the agreent cannot change again." Serena interrupted before Vera Hansen could finish.
"Cough cough, okay." Caleb Lawson said, then called Jude Chaucer in through the internal line.
Jude Chaucer held the supplentary agreent.
"Confirm." Caleb Lawson said.
Serena examined it seriously; the content was very straightforward, only the modification ti through joint consultation, no traps.
Serena signed her na on it, then exchanged the supplentary agreent with Vera Hansen and signed.
"It’s done." Serena holding the supplentary agreent, looked at the elderly couple, "I’m leaving."
She genuinely had nothing more to discuss with them.
No need, either.
Just hoped they take good care of their health.
After speaking, Serena turned to leave.
She didn’t glance at Julian Lawson beside her.
Throughout the process, Julian Lawson had remained silent, saying nothing.
He also did not prevent the ti shortening.
Even his expression had not changed.
Always with this deanor.
Until this mont, he finally lifted his head and looked towards where Serena had left.
"Brother Julian." Vera Hansen called his na from beside him.
Julian Lawson retracted his gaze and looked down at her.
Vera Hansen smiled and said, "It’s just one month until I formally enter the Lawson family, are you happy?"
Julian Lawson didn’t speak, rely lifting his gaze towards the enormous floor-to-ceiling window where clouds were constantly drifting by, lost in thought.
Vera Hansen watched Julian Lawson’s profile and smiled.
In a month, she would be able to hold the wedding with Julian Lawson and officially beco Mrs. Lawson, then he would no longer be able to shake her off!
