CHAPTER 189: CHAPTER 189: HE’S THE ONE WHO CAN’T LEAVE SERENA STERLING

Shayla Randall held the things in her hands and nodded.

Then the two of them came to a corner together.

"I heard you are a doctor here," Julian Lawson said.

Shayla Randall nodded, affirming it.

"What do you want to ask me?" Shayla Randall looked at Julian Lawson, saying, "Or rather, is there something you’re confused about?"

Julian Lawson looked at Shayla Randall before him.

Eventually, he said, "I currently have a confusion."

Shayla Randall nodded.

Julian Lawson’s gaze didn’t rest on Shayla Randall, but rather seemed to be looking at a certain point.

He said, "If I deeply love someone in my heart but hurt her deeply, what should I do?"

Shayla Randall looked at Julian Lawson, unsure if he was talking about Serena Sterling.

"Then, what options are available for you to choose from now?" Shayla Randall continued to ask.

"She wants to leave, but I don’t want her to. I hope she can stay by my side, so I used some methods to trap her," he said, "some very despicable methods."

Eventually, he stopped.

He looked at Shayla Randall, saying, "If it were you, what do you think I should do?"

Shayla Randall sighed deeply and said, "Actually, loving someone doesn’t necessarily mean insisting on it. If she has already decided to leave, why don’t you let go?"

"Since you love her so much, would you still be willing to hurt her?"

"If staying by you only leaves her with pain, why don’t you let her go."

Julian Lawson and Shayla Randall looked at each other.

From a third-person perspective, it seems there’s always a solution to everything.

Yet.

He was unwilling.

Until this moment, he truly realized it wasn’t Serena Sterling who couldn’t leave him, but he who couldn’t leave Serena Sterling.

But she had already decided to leave.

Already in contact with Silas Hawthorne.

After a moment of silence, he nodded.

"Thank you," Julian Lawson said, then left with the file bag.

He sat alone in the car for a long time.

In these past days, he had been so agitated, causing many things to deviate from their original paths.

It’s time to sort everything out.

Thinking so, Julian Lawson took out his phone and contacted Secretary Chaucer.

"President Lawson?" Secretary Chaucer’s voice came quickly.

"Notify internally, make a plan to absolutely sever ties between Vera Hansen and the company," Julian Lawson said calmly.

"Huh?" Secretary Chaucer was a bit puzzled, not comprehending immediately.

"The stock fluctuations from a few days ago, and Vera Hansen’s future projects, demand absolute separation from The Lawson Corporation, so they don’t affect each other at all."

Julian Lawson’s voice was very calm, at this moment, he seemed to have returned to his former self.

The project with Vera Hansen had too much risk.

He had reminded her several times, but Vera Hansen continued to act recklessly.

He couldn’t control her, so he could only sever ties.

"Also, prepare a low-profile, stable aftermath project and funds for her," Julian Lawson said.

This was his tolerance for Vera Hansen.

As for Serena Sterling...

Julian Lawson slightly lowered his gaze, not daring to think about it.

This is it, everything depends on time.

Thinking so, Julian Lawson was about to start the car, but at this moment, he suddenly saw the doctor responsible for diagnosing Vera Hansen nearby.

He thought, it was just the right time to ask the doctor about this report.

Thus, Julian Lawson got out of the car and walked over.

The doctor had his back to him.

Talking to someone about something.

"...Yes, here we can only do a little disguise," the doctor said, "Although privately run, the sanatorium has a larger operation, but can’t conclude without any symptoms."

"Last time, we also had someone trying to fake medical records, but they really slit their wrists, so it was pretty genuine, if your household..."

Julian Lawson initially had no intention of eavesdropping, but upon hearing these words, he couldn’t help but pause slightly.

Slitting wrists, fake medical records?

He recalled the previous error with the mailing address.

If it’s about Vera Hansen?

Was it that Vera Hansen changed the address, worried he’d see the report first?

Julian Lawson left quietly, then called Secretary Chaucer again.

Secretary Chaucer quickly answered.

"President Lawson?"

"Investigate, see who Vera Hansen has been close with recently, and also the situation of the psychiatrist diagnosing her," Julian Lawson said.

"Yes." Secretary Chaucer immediately went to do it.

And Julian Lawson returned to the car, looking at the treatment plan report for depression, his brow furrowing tightly.

Was Vera Hansen faking it?

Julian Lawson drove away.

...

Time flew by.

That day, as Julian Lawson was heading to The Lawson Corporation, suddenly, a message was pushed to him—

#Explosion, Serena Sterling and Silas Hawthorne acting intimately#

The photo released showed a man and a woman on a yacht, the two were sea fishing.

But this sea fishing was different from ordinary ones.

The two seemed to be holding the same rod, pulling something out of the water.

They stood very close, acting intimately.

*Buzz Buzz.*

Julian Lawson’s phone vibrated.

It was Ian Yates with a message.

Ian Yates: Buddy, did you see the news online, Serena Sterling went sea fishing with Silas Hawthorne.

Julian Lawson thought for a moment and replied: I saw it.

Ian Yates: But buddy, didn’t you say she was recently accompanying her adopted daughter? How come she’s out fishing with another man!

Julian Lawson paused slightly.

He didn’t reply and received the address, driving straight over.

When Serena Sterling and Silas Hawthorne came up from the sea, they were full of gains.

"I didn’t expect to catch so much!" Serena Sterling said excitedly.

Today Silas Hawthorne suggested she come for the second date with him.

She originally didn’t want to go out, especially since the next day was the launch of the first batch of new products, and Seraphina was still hospitalized.

Most importantly, who goes on a date to fish!

Generally, after Seraphina’s surgery, she has to stay in the hospital for another 5-10 days. Now it’s already enough for 5 days, she can leave, but Serena Sterling wants to observe for another two days.

"I thought about it," Silas Hawthorne said with a smile. "There is a property of mine near the shore, I’ve already sent the doctor and the chef there, we’ll take Seraphina together, after sea fishing, we can enjoy our catch."

Silas Hawthorne also caught Bianca Lynch passing by, confirming they could go.

So a group of people went together.

They even split into groups to compete in their sea fishing achievements.

Bianca Lynch kept yelling excitedly, she and Ethan Lynch together, they also caught quite a bit.

But the biggest yield was from Serena Sterling and Silas Hawthorne.

By the time they fished for quite a while and headed back, their box was brimming with fish.

The deck was wet, as Serena Sterling and Silas Hawthorne walked back, she slipped slightly, stepping on water.

"Careful!"

A voice came, and in an instant, Silas Hawthorne powerfully gripped her arm.

Serena Sterling was startled, instinctively holding his arm.

This made it look like she was embracing Silas Hawthorne.

Then, she felt a gaze firmly locked onto her, like a thorn on her back.

Serena Sterling instinctively looked over, seeing Julian Lawson’s car parked not far from the shore.

He was looking directly at them.
