CHAPTER 291: CHAPTER 291: WHAT HAPPENED IN THE HOSPITAL CORRIDOR

Time slowly passed.

Vera Hansen’s charity stall grew larger and larger.

Initially, it was only in front of Vivian’s Floral Studio, but now the nearby stores also came out to help, offering up their storefronts for the charity stall.

This made the whole street bustling with activity.

Charity, passion.

The whole street was exuding the kindness of ordinary people.

Meanwhile, Serena Sterling was actively communicating with Cygnus.

In this situation, the time went from 9 o’clock, to 10, 11, and soon it would reach the final 12 o’clock.

o’clock is also lunchtime when many people would gather to watch.

Vivian’s Floral Studio.

The crowd coming here increased.

The media kept taking pictures of her.

She was always observing Serena Sterling’s movements online.

But Serena didn’t have the slightest reaction, as if she hadn’t been the one to speak harsh words yesterday.

This made Vera even more certain that Serena was just bluffing.

With only 15 minutes left until 12 o’clock, Vera looked towards the camera.

She gave a "weak" smile to the camera.

She brought out the last big show.

"The scale of today’s charity sale exceeded my expectations," Vera said with a smile, "I’ve seen everyone’s kindness."

"It’s so nice." She seemed reluctant about something, her eyes reddening, looking very frail, "In the final stage of my life, to be able to complete meaningful things with everyone."

"But I..."

At this point, she seemed unable to continue.

She just looked at the camera, as if she had a thousand words to say.

Finally, she just covered her mouth, crying silently.

A person beside her immediately said in worry: "Vera, what’s wrong? Did something happen? If there’s anything, tell us, we’ll solve it together!"

Vera wiped the corner of her eye and shook her head, "It’s a small thing."

"Insignificant, something that should’ve happened," she "bravely" smiled, saying, "The progression of my illness is faster than I imagined, I might not hold on to the previously mentioned date."

The scene was in an uproar.

Vera’s staunch fans were wiping their tears in reluctance.

"Don’t be sad," Vera said, "This is my fate, one day more or less makes no difference to me."

"It’s just..."

She looked at the camera, appearing tragic yet beautiful.

"I wanted everyone to see the happenings in the last period of my life, to gain some strength from it, but in the end, I just... messed it up."

Vera smiled, tears falling down, in the carefully crafted drama and camera angle, she looked unusually tragic and broken.

"I’m truly sorry," Vera said, bowing deeply once more.

When she stood up, she said to the camera, "Serena, when you sold Micro Love to me, you asked if I was going to treat it as my funeral march. Now, my answer is, as you wish."

After speaking, Vera "accidentally" couldn’t hold it anymore and covered her mouth. Immediately, someone supported her, and everyone saw that her mouth and the hand she just covered her mouth with were stained with blood.

At this moment, people were shouting and pleading around her.

In her heart, Vera was pleased.

Retreating to advance has always been her specialty.

And this move could completely turn the situation in her favor.

Meanwhile, Connor Goldsmith made a move, posting a tweet.

[Why has Vera Hansen’s condition deteriorated so rapidly? Is it related to someone’s deliberate framing? This is murder!]

[What has Vera Hansen gone through these days? Continuous framing? Is the fake medical record presented by netizen 567? Who is behind all this? Who set the trap?]

Suddenly, public opinion exploded.

Vera Hansen’s "indefensibility," Vera hosting a charity event while ill, Vera’s original intention, all made people feel heartbroken.

The two tweets also directed the public opinion towards Serena Sterling.

And at this moment, Serena Sterling was focusing on the final contract signing and sealing procedure on the Cygnus side.

Regarding the various online public opinions, her expression remained calm.

It’s about to finish.

She would personally put an end to all this.

Serena focused on the screen, watching them sign the contract.

Meanwhile, a huge uproar had already erupted online.

Vera Hansen’s staunch fans, upon learning about the "bad news" of her rapidly deteriorating condition, went crazy.

One by one, they called out to relevant personnel.

They called for Julian Lawson to come out and fulfill Vera Hansen’s last wish, to hold a wedding with Vera.

Called out to Serena, asking her to apologize to Vera, to give the public an explanation.

Also called out to netizen 567, telling this "despicable person" to stop spreading rumors.

Because of this charity event, many people’s impression of Vera Hansen improved, and seeing her "spit blood" in public, they felt compassion.

Some even wondered if there were other things they didn’t know, whether Vera was truly set up.

11:55.

Serena confirmed the contract had been signed.

The contract and Vera’s files were faxed over together.

Serena confirmed everything was correct.

At this moment, Serena’s car had also parked not far from Vivian’s Floral Studio.

Serena looked at the crowd on the street over there, then checked the time; there were 5 minutes left.

After thinking for a moment, she updated her platform status.

Serena: Five minutes left, Vera, this is your last chance.

The post immediately went viral.

The most liked comment was—"Vera is already like that, and you still want to push her, do you want her life!"

In the camera, Vera cried brokenly, saying: "What have I done wrong? Serena, what more do you want? For me to kneel?"

Countless crazed individuals stormed Serena’s comment section again, leaving vicious comments, some even photoshopped Serena’s photo in black and white and posted it in the comments.

And pictures with a knife stabbed in Serena’s photo were also posted.

They seemed to have lost their senses.

Serena quietly watched all this.

She could wait for a few minutes.

She looked distantly at Vera in the crowd.

Quietly watching Vera’s performance.

The crowd was clamoring, and in these final few minutes, the first to break was netizen 567.

567: They kept asking for an explanation, I have nothing to say, so I’ll put out some pictures. No one wanted to set up Vera Hansen, I simply couldn’t stand it anymore.

Below were six pictures.

The first picture was in the hospital corridor, Vera and Bianca Lynch were about to quarrel, Serena and Julian Lawson were pulling them apart, it was obvious Serena was pulling Bianca while Julian was protecting Vera.

The second picture showed Serena rolling down the stairs, Julian’s hand supporting Vera and the other hand clearly just pushed Serena without retracting.

The third picture showed Julian shielding Vera standing on the upper corridor step, back to the lower staircase, Bianca rushing down the stairs with Julian not even glancing in her direction.

The fourth picture showed Julian leaving with Vera without hesitation.
