CHAPTER 215: CHAPTER 215: HIS PRINCESS

Just with one glance, Julian Lawson recognized the location of Vera Hansen’s livestream.

In an instant, he withdrew.

As he gave instructions to the people next to him, he called Secretary Chaucer.

Soon, Secretary Chaucer picked up.

By this time, Julian Lawson was already seated in the car, confirming available helicopter routes while heading to the relevant location.

"President Lawson." Secretary Chaucer’s voice came through.

"What’s going on with Vera Hansen?" Julian Lawson asked.

He had rushed to Darrow at dawn and only just finished dealing with matters, leaving him exhausted.

Julian Lawson rubbed his temple and said, "Wasn’t her first livestream supposed to be with Ian Yates? Why is she at The Hillside Villa now?"

"Who gave her the password?" As he spoke, Julian Lawson narrowed his eyes, a coldness in his gaze.

"Huh?" Secretary Chaucer was a bit confused and said, "President Lawson, didn’t you give her the password?"

None of them had the password.

Even the cleaning staff who went there could only receive a temporary password, which became invalid 20 minutes after opening the door unless there were special circumstances to explain.

Everyone going there for work needs to apply, and the butler would verify their itinerary before agreeing to issue a temporary password.

After Julian Lawson recovered from his illness, he moved across from Serena Sterling’s rented house, so this place is only maintained periodically, and no one visits regularly.

"Check!" Julian Lawson coldly spat out the word.

After hanging up the phone, Julian Lawson immediately called Vera Hansen.

But obviously, no one answered on the other end.

Calls to Vera Hansen’s assistant also went unanswered.

"Hmph!"

Julian Lawson’s right hand formed a fist and slammed hard against the side of the car frame, making a loud noise.

The pain from the back of his hand surged, yet he seemed not to notice it, with his eyes closed and jaw clenched.

Moments later, as if thinking of something, he called Ian Yates.

Ian Yates was already on his way to The Hillside Villa by then.

However, this area was severely congested.

After Vera Hansen went live, once netizens recognized this as Serena and Julian Lawson’s former marital home, countless people rushed over here, eager to get firsthand news.

Ian Yates informed Julian Lawson about the burst pipe incident, and said, "I don’t know what she was thinking, coming here without contacting me again."

"Hmm, I’m heading over now."

"Don’t worry, brother Lawson, I’ll get her out of there."

Back on Julian Lawson’s side, after receiving a definite response, he immediately changed the password.

Then, he reopened the livestream.

Serena Sterling was showcasing a sea of gemstone flowers indoors on the screen.

Amidst this sea of gemstone flowers lay the second series of new products.

Golden Series.

The base of the gemstone flower sea was connected with a golden mist, looking like golden gemstone waves rising in a river of gold.

Under the illumination of the indoor lights, they appeared exceptionally brilliant and beautiful.

The Golden Series, embraced by this sea of gemstone flowers or golden waves, was available for selection and purchase.

This could rival a small exquisite exhibition hall.

Like a world of golden glass.

The song "Yan" echoed throughout the venue, adding a touch of ethereal hope.

Next to each new product amidst the waves, there was a small golden card engraved with words.

Serena Sterling nodded towards the person on the side.

Immediately, a staff member began speaking—

"The brave knight traveled to the distant castle to slay the dragon and rescue the princess. His courage, kindness, and wisdom earned the princess’s love, and under the king’s witness, they married and lived happily ever after..."

A widely known classic fairytale story.

Her unique voice, paired with the golden world and the song "Yan," gave the sensation of being in a fairytale.

Serena Sterling listened silently.

The story of the knight, princess, and dragon existed in many versions aside from this one.

And when she once mentioned this story with Julian Lawson, she discussed another version, where it was a warrior against an evil dragon.

The warrior slew the dragon to save a maiden, but in the end, he transformed into the evil dragon atop the treasure.

A classic parable.

On-site, the female voice slowly finished telling the story and said:

"The Hawthorne Group invited numerous writers to pen small stories for some Golden Series products on themes of friendship, family, love, and other fine qualities, available for selection and purchase."

"Of course, there are also many new products yet to be paired with stories, open for selection or for writing personal stories."

Soon after the staff finished speaking, several well-known authors stepped up to claim stories.

Serena watched as people eagerly went over to read, nodding towards the staff standing there.

The person came back.

Stories had been written for only a few, as they couldn’t cater to everyone’s liking; most awaited stories or someone else or the buyer to write for them.

Interest was already rising online.

People were even writing their own little stories to see if they might catch someone’s attention.

Before long, a relevant topic surfaced—

#LetMeWriteGoldenNewProductStories#

It set off a chain reaction, with many showcasing their talent, sparking another wave of fervor.

The Hawthorne Group, seeing the topic’s amassed popularity, announced plans to selectively contact creators for collection, contract signing, and payment of royalties.

Instantly, it triggered another creative frenzy.

Serena listened to the exuberant cheers in the earpiece, knowing everything was progressing under control. She then glanced at the livestream interface on one side.

Meanwhile, Vera Hansen had long noticed the activity on this side but remained calm, merely guiding the crowd towards the bathroom.

Her audience was constantly urging her in the livestream room.

The top-liked comment was: "Serena made a move, hurry up, Vera, do something explosive!"

At this moment, Julian Lawson had reached the helicopter landing site and boarded.

He had just sent a bullet comment in Vera Hansen’s livestream, urging her to stop quickly, but it got buried, with no one seeing it.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

The rotor blades spun, taking Julian Lawson into the air.

The signal on the helicopter was poor, preventing him from accessing the livestream, so he sent a message to Secretary Chaucer at the last moment.

Julian Lawson: Contact the people from the platform and cut Vera Hansen’s livestream.

...

In Vera Hansen’s livestream room, she had already pushed the bathroom door open and walked in.

"Let me think, where should I put this?" Vera Hansen said as she wandered around the bathroom.

Her objective was, of course, for viewers to see the bathroom’s layout.

The bathroom was roomy, and Vera Hansen paced within it; everything seemed as ordinary as any bathroom, until she discovered a door.

"What’s this?" she said, capturing everyone’s attention.

She originally had the password, but someone had unlocked the small door beforehand, allowing her to walk right in.

Then, viewers saw a slightly smaller bathroom, distinctly different though.

Next to it was a handle, along with a gigantic full-length mirror.
