CHAPTER 79: CHAPTER 79: THE COUNTERATTACK BEGINS, THIRD LIVE BROADCAST

Jasper Ford brought the news: "I can basically control it anytime and kick people out, but I thought I’d give you a heads-up."

Serena Sterling smiled: "Just right."

Previously, when she sent Bianca Lynch to get the video from Sasha’s place, Serena already had a strategy in mind, but the situation this time was better than she had imagined.

Jasper Ford sorted out the internal issues of Ford Entertainment.

It seems that the effects of attending the charity gala last time were quite good.

So, she made a slight adjustment and said to everyone present: "Jasper, you told me before that Vera Hansen has a very powerful marketing team, so our plan must hit the mark."

Jasper Ford nodded.

Quinn also understood this aspect well. Earlier, he had a favorable impression of Vera Hansen, but now that he knew her true nature, he quickly figured it out.

A previous post--[Her kindness turns into angelic protection, the term "saint" should never be stigmatized]-- appeared graceful in every sentence but was actually a thorough attack, manipulating perceptions, elevating Vera Hansen’s kindness to divine status.

Thinking of this, Serena said: "The day after tomorrow is the third live broadcast of ’Heavenly Sound’. I’ll briefly share my thoughts; everyone can provide feedback. I plan to break it down into steps, the first step..."

...

The day before the broadcast, many things happened.

The first was that the previously dormant online topic #YesterdayOnceMoreSoundQuality# once again quietly fermented.

A netizen named Quinn uploaded a video.

Said it was live audio.

But it was secretly recorded, in the crowd, not showing people, and the voice wasn’t clear. This was the unusable recording Quinn got from a group friend before.

Everyone rushed to watch.

People from Vera Hansen’s side also noticed, Connor Goldsmith looked at the video and said to Vera Hansen: "Don’t worry, finding this thing after so long is useless."

Vera Hansen sneered: "Let him see the consequences!"

"Okay," Connor Goldsmith said.

Then, a large group of people raided that hashtag topic.

Quinn recorded every move, looking satisfied.

This was their first step.

The purpose was:

One, to close previous matters and make Vera Hansen’s side relax their guard.

Two, to leave evidence of the opposing party’s water army manipulation for preparing the real reversal.

The second thing was that Vera Hansen had already arranged with Alexander Ford, so that some of her people would be placed among the live audience.

"What are they here for?" Alexander Ford asked, "I’m telling you, Jasper Ford is just a waste, even without the old man’s influence, he can’t turn the tables, I can completely control it."

Vera Hansen didn’t want to listen, irritably said: "I’m useful, just give them to me."

"I don’t get you, external voting has a big proportion, as the competition progresses, Irene won’t make it to the finals, what are you worried about?" Alexander was puzzled.

"Just give them," Vera Hansen couldn’t be bothered to explain.

This bite mark incident slightly triggered Vera Hansen’s sense of crisis.

Although she believed she had completely mastered Julian Lawson, Serena Sterling, the major hidden threat, still needed to be removed early.

So, she needed to quickly pull Irene into the camp.

Since the previous bribery wasn’t working, it’s time for coercion.

As long as she holds Irene’s miscarriage leverage, the opponent won’t dare rebel anytime soon.

Besides, this Irene always ignores her, too arrogant.

Vera Hansen isn’t a pushover, she won’t swallow this easily, she must make the other party bow!

The third thing, First Young Master Hawthorne planned to go out the next day but got a sudden notice from his big brother.

Asked him to follow and watch the third live broadcast of ’Heavenly Sound’.

"Huh?" First Young Master Hawthorne’s mind was full of question marks.

Last time he wanted to go because the charity gala made him curious about Irene, but after watching, the curiosity faded.

But what does his big brother want him to go again for?

"Brother, wouldn’t you have taken a fancy to her?" First Young Master Hawthorne wondered, "But isn’t she Jasper Ford’s person?"

First Young Master Hawthorne shook his head: "No, I just think this person is very strange and might help with our current plan."

Only then did First Young Master Hawthorne become serious and nodded.

Meanwhile, Julian Lawson stood in the top floor CEO office of Lawson Tower, calmly looking at the swiftly moving clouds outside, pondering something.

...

Time flew by.

The late April weather was gradually heating up.

On the 20th day of Serena Sterling and Julian Lawson’s divorce cooling-off period, the third live broadcast of ’Heavenly Sound’ arrived.

Previously, there were 12 contestants, three were eliminated in the second live broadcast, one was revived, now a total of 10 contestants.

And among these 10 contestants, 5 were directly eliminated this time, with only one revival spot among them.

Serena Sterling, as before, wore a mask and adjusted for the last time in a nanny van before heading to the backstage of ’Heavenly Sound’.

At the same time, Bianca Lynch and Quinn were also ready, even Justin Jennings, who usually didn’t care about the entertainment circle, glanced over while passing through the living room.

"Sister Vera, that person came again, it’s already the third time, how do we deal with it?" Someone asked Vera Hansen at this moment.

They were referring to the person who had been trying to ask Vera Hansen questions.

"Just like before, hold him off, deal with it after it’s over," Vera Hansen instructed.

"Okay," the person went to handle it.

Serena Sterling saw Vera Hansen dismissing him when entering backstage.

The opponent looked up and saw her too.

Then, Serena watched Vera Hansen walk toward her.

"How’s preparation going for the third round?" Vera Hansen smiled and began, "Your health should be better now, I heard you’ve been practicing with Miles Levin’s team lately."

Serena Sterling smiled without speaking.

Serena deliberately told Jasper Ford that they should wait until she got on stage to control Alexander Ford’s people directly, so Alexander Ford still knew nothing.

Serena Sterling didn’t know whether Alexander Ford and Vera Hansen were connected.

But she had no need to say more to Vera Hansen.

"Let’s chat?" Vera Hansen suggested, pointing to the staff passage over there, "There’s no surveillance there."

Serena Sterling wasn’t keen on chatting.

"It’s regarding the broadcast effects," Vera Hansen’s voice came from behind, "You know what I mean."

Serena Sterling wasn’t sure if Vera Hansen discovered Jasper Ford’s control over the situation, contemplated, and agreed to chat.

The two walked over to the staff passage together.

Meanwhile, in a dark room somewhere.

"Quick, boss, Vera Hansen and Irene are headed to the staff passage again!" A person glued to the screen immediately alerted two others.

"Feels like they’re about to discuss something again!" That person said, and the other two gathered around.

The "boss" rubbed his hands: "Wonder if it’s going to be another big scoop!"
