CHAPTER 216: CHAPTER 216: YES, I’M DIVORCED—SO WHAT?

Vera Hansen was taken aback when she entered.

"What is this?" Vera looked puzzled and curiously asked Serena, "Serena, what’s this for?"

But in reality, she was trembling slightly with anger.

She had just received a signal from her assistant, indicating that Julian Lawson had tried to reach out to them, but they pretended not to see and didn’t answer.

However, they had already unlocked all the places they planned to go, in case Julian changed the password.

Both Vera’s and Serena’s live streaming rooms were exploding.

Countless comments were flooding in frantically.

Silas Hawthorne even stood up immediately upon seeing this scene.

The usual elegance in his demeanor vanished instantly.

If there was a regular bathroom outside, then this room was a private space between a couple.

After all, this was the bridal chamber of Serena and Julian.

Although there was nothing inside now, the decor alone was enough to fuel one’s imagination.

The easiest way to destroy a woman is through slut-shaming and humiliation.

And this small bathroom was a place that could lead others to have wild fantasies!

Even though Serena stood there neatly now, even though she was already divorced from Julian.

There would still be some disgusting people who would make remarks!

Silas was filled with anger.

He immediately wanted to contact the platform to cut off Vera’s live stream.

"By the way, my live stream won’t get cut, will it?" Vera said with a weak smile, "There’s nothing here, if it got cut off because of this..."

"This is my first top luxury villa floral live stream." Vera spoke aggrievedly.

As if she was being treated unfairly because of it.

Saying this, she also looked at Serena in the live broadcast connection, saying: "Serena, what do you think?"

The comments were flooding on both sides.

It finally turned into neat rows of— "The couple is having quite a fun time."

And— "Vera, why are you wearing Serena’s clothes and standing in the bathroom where Serena and her husband played around?"

Serena sneered.

"I’m not a platform reviewer, Vera, that’s not a question you should be asking me."

"As for what this is," Serena said nonchalantly, "As you can see, it’s just a room next to the bathroom, you could even consider it a walk-in closet, depending on how you interpret it."

Serena knew what Vera meant, fearing she might have the live stream cut off.

Now, as soon as Vera’s live stream ended, everyone would suspect Serena.

They would think Serena couldn’t beat Vera and deliberately had someone cut off Vera’s live stream.

Think she couldn’t take losing.

Once this label was attached, no matter how many times she won in the future, it would be seen as a loss.

Everyone would say—"She won fair and square, but when she was about to lose, she cheated. If that counts, then I can cheat in the future too."

On the other end, Silas stopped his action of trying to cut off the live stream once he saw this.

Silas’s face was dark as he tried to reach Julian on the phone.

However, he couldn’t get through.

At that moment, Julian was on a helicopter.

"Don’t bother with her." As Silas frowned and was about to contact someone else, Serena stepped out of the frame and said over the intercom, "Only the bathroom’s decor is slightly inappropriate, I took all my things with me when I left."

However, although the items were gone, the past decorations could not be taken away.

But there was nothing more excessive.

Both remained silent.

The live stream on the other side continued, and they couldn’t talk for long.

They spoke in low voices, with Serena’s back visible on the live screen, showing she hadn’t run away on the spot, but they couldn’t hear what she was saying.

Finally, Silas’s voice came through the intercom: "Serena, are you okay?"

In fact, he wanted to ask if she wanted to continue.

But he knew, Serena would not give up like this.

"I’m fine." Serena said.

Not only was she fine, but she was determined to win!

Vera was humiliating her like this.

She absolutely could not tolerate it!

However...

Serena lowered her eyes slightly, feeling somewhat hesitant.

The humiliation Vera directed at her could be ignored, but now everyone knew Silas was pursuing her.

Especially after this bathroom scene emerged, some had started saying Silas was getting cheated on.

Particularly, there was a saying—

"Serena has been with Julian for seven years, Serena has long been used by Julian, Silas must be regretting it now!"

She worried about Silas’s feelings.

"Fool." Silas’s voice was tender over the intercom, as if he had heard her inner voice.

Then came a sound of footsteps, and finally, he said: "Serena, look up."

Serena lifted her head and saw Silas standing by the second-floor glass.

"Serena, I love you, love you at any time."

"Becoming your boyfriend is the thing I’ve been most grateful for until now."

"I am always here, and I will always accompany you."

At that moment, her eyes became slightly red.

Yes, he was always there.

For many years in the past, he had always been there.

Emotions surged, and she could hardly hold back her tears.

Finally, she managed to control her emotions and softly replied: "Mm."

"Follow your plan," he said, "You are Serena, you won’t lose."

Serena smiled.

She never thought she would lose.

But having someone beside her, who believed in her and affirmed her, felt really good.

It had been a long time since she felt this way.

Serena put down the intercom and returned to the frame.

On the other side, Vera appeared smiling in the interface.

"Serena, where did you just go?" She seemed flustered, but her eyes held hidden mockery, "Did I cause you trouble by live streaming this little bathroom?"

Serena looked towards Vera in the live stream.

Her eyes were clear.

"I know what’s being said online, and I know that seeing this bathroom, regardless of what people say publicly, they’re thinking the same thing in their hearts."

Serena’s face was extremely calm.

She looked incredibly strong.

"No need to discuss behind my back, you can say it directly."

Serena’s eyes were open and candid: "I’ve been divorced."

She smiled.

Her smile was particularly dazzling in this golden flow.

She said: "So what?"

Vera’s expression clearly froze for a moment.

Before Vera could say anything more, Serena had already waved her hand.

Someone immediately brought things over.

"Earlier, I called to bring two things over," Serena said, looking at Vera; they were things Vera had always wanted.

"What?" Vera didn’t understand Serena’s look.

But Serena didn’t answer and instead, under everyone’s watchful eyes, walked step by step to the side table.

On the outside were photos of street scenes from 1935, and now, here were street scenes from the year 2000.

Serena approached, where there was a frame for display.

She reached out and took the items, which were two prop books.

She placed the two prop books in this frame.

One was a marriage certificate.

The other was a divorce certificate.
