CHAPTER 236: CHAPTER 236: DRIVE THEM MAD FIRST

Jasper Ford rubbed his hands together like a fly.

After waiting so long, finally, he could strike at Vera Hansen with everything he had!

These past few days, Vera Hansen had really made him furious.

And with Alexander Ford, they’re just waiting for the final piece of evidence.

All the logic will form a closed loop.

The two kept discussing the details.

Time slowly passed by.

In the afternoon, Vera Hansen began her further promotional actions.

Various billboards showed the latest clips of "Micro Love", with the note stating that it would be released in a week.

Generally, film scheduling requires negotiation, but Vera Hansen directly used Julian Lawson’s resources.

Also, regarding the ad space, the good spots had long been assigned. Others might have booked those spots long ago for the day, but now, all the prominent billboards were showcasing content from "Micro Love".

This caused a massive discussion online.

...

Lawson Tower, top-floor CEO office.

Julian Lawson stood by the large floor-to-ceiling window, watching the traffic below.

The sound of high heels approached, and Vera Hansen walked up to his side.

"Brother Julian, thank you." She said with a smile.

Although The Lawson Corporation had already distanced itself from "Micro Love", she was now using Julian Lawson’s personal resources.

And they were very effective!

She even planned, once "Micro Love" was online in a few days, to have all The Lawson Corporation employees each buy a ticket.

All under the guise of employee benefits!

Julian Lawson didn’t look at her; he had been like this for the past two days.

It seemed that the previously irritable Julian Lawson had disappeared, replaced by a calm-faced, stoic Julian Lawson.

Julian Lawson said nothing.

He merely looked at the clouds passing overhead peacefully.

No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.

Vera Hansen looked at Julian Lawson’s profile. A trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes but was quickly concealed.

What did it matter if he was passive? In a month, he’d still have to obediently marry her!

Thinking this, Vera Hansen smiled again.

Everything was under her control!

...

In the evening, Vera Hansen started a livestream again.

With the overwhelming publicity, as soon as Vera Hansen began her broadcast, she immediately attracted countless viewers.

Vera Hansen smiled into the camera.

"Good evening, everyone." Vera Hansen greeted the crowd with a smile and said, "I’ve seen your comments, that’s right, ’Micro Love’ will be online in a week."

"I’ve thought about today’s livestream content. Let’s just casually chat, talk about some things related to ’Micro Love’."

Vera Hansen began to talk into the camera about the creation process of the song "Micro Love".

These are things she had mentioned on "Heavenly Sound".

Many of her fans had started following her from the countdown to her death, so these things provoked a collective reminiscence among many people.

"...This song represents my psychological journey during that period, the pain and despair of knowing my days were numbered, the struggle, and later coming to understand that I need to do more good, to bring strength to others suffering from illness..."

Vera Hansen spoke and then softly sang "Micro Love" in the livestream.

This livestream was very brief.

And after it ended, Vera Hansen posted a new video——

[Only four months left to live, I am about to launch my first drama.]

The entire video emphasized her impending death, and the original intention of writing "Micro Love", her love, her sorrow and despair, and the empathetic spirit born in desperation, bringing strength to others.

Then linked "Micro Love" strongly with "Micro Love".

This video directly exploded onto the trending searches.

#Vera Hansen, Micro Love#

This hashtag clung tightly to the top position of the trending searches.

Below it were countless comments from netizens.

Vera Hansen watched all this, but it wasn’t enough yet. She sent a message to Connor Goldsmith’s team.

Connor Goldsmith immediately understood, telling his people to take action.

After a short while, a tweet was released, detailing the things Vera Hansen did after learning she didn’t have long to live.

Live-streaming her countdown to death——to give strength to fellow patients.

Participating in "Heavenly Sound"——showing everyone that even faced with illness and impending death, one can still live a splendid life.

Participating in charity dinners——advocating for children with illness, as her loving intention, she will turn into an angel to love them.

And so on, and so forth.

Combined with various clip edits and the background music of "Micro Love", it brought tears to countless people’s eyes.

"She’s so strong, if it were me, I would have given up long ago, maybe even found a place to end it directly."

"I’ve seen her faint several times due to her physical condition."

...

"But none of this gives her the right to harm Serena Sterling, her recent livestream at The Hillside Villa was disgusting!"

"The one upstairs, Vera Hansen has already apologized, she even sincerely stopped the luxury villa flower arrangement series, what more do you want? For her to die?"

"Yes, it was an unexpected situation, the water pipe burst at another location, you can say she didn’t handle things well, but she has genuinely apologized! Recognizing her mistake, and she has paid the price!"

...

There were minor online quarrels, but mostly they were overshadowed by Vera Hansen’s marketing.

It’s just that Vera Hansen had already apologized and suspended the series.

Whenever someone objected, the apology was used to silence them.

She’s apologized, what more do you want? You want her dead?

Such sentiments were everywhere.

Most netizens didn’t want to get into pointless arguments, so everything was overshadowed by the marketing.

Jasper Ford was astounded by all this.

"Honestly, I think Vera Hansen is truly a marketing genius." Jasper Ford said to Serena Sterling beside him.

Serena Sterling was communicating with Quinn about their retaliatory process afterward.

Quinn looked up, "Boss, can’t you praise me for once? I’ve been faking it and it’s been really tough lately, okay?"

Indeed, recently Quinn had constantly been creating a facade for Vera Hansen, making it seem like they were constantly resisting but unable to win.

Including obstructing the process of "Micro Love" turning to cinema distribution, it was the same situation.

All just an act.

This was the result of Serena Sterling’s discussions with them.

"If we do nothing, Vera Hansen would become suspicious, so we have to act, but not excessively, pretending we can’t win, putting her in a state of inflation."

"When someone becomes inflated, thinking they can control everything, they will overlook the crisis lurking beneath all this."

These were Serena Sterling’s original words.

Moreover, they needed to control the timing.

It was also Serena Sterling giving Vera Hansen a final chance.

Jasper Ford and Quinn were bantering, but Serena Sterling’s phone started buzzing.

She took out her phone and noticed it was a message from "Yan".

Serena Sterling stepped out after answering the call.

"What’s up?" she asked in a hushed, raspy voice.

"You should know who I am." Vera Hansen’s voice came through, "Let’s meet. Where are you now?"

Serena Sterling glanced at the time, it was already 7:30 PM.

"Ford Entertainment." Serena Sterling replied.
