Serena Sterling looked up and saw Caleb Lawson’s smiling face. "If you lose, you’ll need to pay three times the price to buy them back when the lawsuit ends." Serena’s eyes felt slightly warm. If she really went through with Julian Lawson’s proposal for a lawsuit, the first trial could take up to six months, and then there’s the second trial. Then comes the execution, the handover, and there might be delays. If it drags on, it could take one or two years altogether. Currently, Caleb Lawson was offering her a chance to quickly get back the Sheridan Family’s belongings. Serena glanced at Julian Lawson, who was looking down at the documents, his expression unclear. Caleb Lawson understood what Serena meant and smiled, "Don’t worry, I can make this decision." Then he turned to Vera Hansen. "Didn’t you want to join our Lawson Family? I’ll give you a chance," Caleb Lawson said. "You’ve seen this agreement; if you win, then our Lawson Family will recognize you. If you lose, you must apologize to Serena across all platforms and get out of Aeston." "To accommodate your condition, we specially set a three-month time limit, making it convenient for you to leave two months to hold a wedding." Vera Hansen was filled with excitement. She had urged Julian Lawson many times, but Julian always hesitated, and after it was revealed that Irene was Serena Sterling, he hesitated even more. Furthermore, the elder Lawsons were not fond of her before. This time was a formal opportunity, as long as she won. They were all reviewing the agreement. Serena saw it clearly. Over three months, each would undertake a project. Then, after three months, under the supervision of Caleb Lawson, professionals would be dispatched to audit and score each project, with the higher score being the winner. The scoring primarily examines the amount of money made, the cost, project difficulty, and other factors, calculated according to a certain ratio, with the most weight on return on investment! For instance, Julian Lawson and his friends directly buying flowers from Vivian’s Floral Studio would be considered cheating. But normal flower supply sales from Vivian’s Floral Studio would not be considered cheating. The same logic applies to Serena. However, Serena didn’t have anything she could cheat with. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦·𝘯𝘦𝘵 "I’ve calculated; you each have your advantages," Caleb Lawson said. He glanced at Julian Lawson and snorted. He knew Julian would definitely help Vera, feed her many flower supply contracts, which essentially puts Serena at a disadvantage. Vera evidently thought the same. Moreover, she could tackle both floral arts and marketing. She was very skilled at marketing. She looked it over; return on investment was extremely crucial, and she had an excellent monetization channel. That’s the "Micro Love" web series! Supplying flowers and stocking up wouldn’t yield high returns, but "Micro Love" web series is different! She would do massive marketing and various fancy charges to earn more! Or she’d go the theater route; the partnered film company was already in the application process, and Julian was also helping her push things forward. There’s huge potential to maneuver theater box office sales. And she thought, relying on her marketing prowess, she could definitely make many people buy countless tickets for her! Serena selling songs wouldn’t earn much, and she’s not a top star, not even a minor one. Just a new-generation singer, even with "Heavenly Sound" champion resources, what could she achieve in three months? The theater movie easily runs into billions at the box office, Serena, how could she possibly beat her! "You’re the one who relies on Julian Lawson for everything you have today, and now without him, let’s see what you’ll do!" Vera thought. So she said, "I have no objections to this agreement." Serena also looked at the contract. She calculated in her mind. Although she had signed the contract after winning "Heavenly Sound," many resources needed her to execute first. In three months, what she can manage would count as returns, and primarily she’d have to coordinate with the partner company’s cyclical process. That greatly limits her potential. Serena smiled, given that, why not take a gamble. She refused to believe she couldn’t explore other resources! Moreover, she couldn’t tolerate indefinite delays, as delays could cause changes. Thinking this, Serena said, "I have no objections either." The two signed their names. Julian Lawson stood aside, looking at them with lowered eyes. Her anger was so intense that it rendered her resolute. He couldn’t let her win. Only by doing this could he keep her close. Serena quickly finished signing the contract, keeping her copy and handing the rest to Secretary Chaucer. "If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first," Serena said before turning to leave. Just before entering the elevator— "Serena." It was Vera’s voice. Serena paused slightly and turned around. Vera was confidently striding over, alone, without Julian Lawson by her side. Serena glanced at Vera’s wrist, wrapped in a bandage. Vera stopped before her, looking determined. "I never expected you to have the guts to sign." Vera sneered. Serena raised an eyebrow slightly. "Believe me, you’ll lose miserably!" Vera said, her face smiling yet her eyes cold. She said, "Three months from now, remember to come to my and Brother Julian’s wedding banquet; I’ll save you a conspicuous spot." "Ex-wife table, or abandoned woman table," Vera said, "Do you think this table name is good?" Serena found it somewhat amusing. Honestly, after deciding to leave Julian Lawson, she no longer cared whether he married Vera or not. If not for this wager, she might have genuinely said to them—"Wish you a happy marriage." Thinking this, Serena said, "Not everyone treasures Julian Lawson." "To me, he is merely a passerby in my life." "Vera, it’s quite sad to become unrecognizable for a man." Having said all she wanted to say, Serena ended with, "If you like him, hold him tight." With that, Serena walked into the elevator. Just as she turned around to press the floor button, she saw Julian Lawson not far away. He still held a document in his hand, his eyes slightly red as he watched her, yet remained silent. She didn’t know how much he overheard. But it didn’t matter anymore. Serena pressed the elevator button, watching the doors close, shutting Julian Lawson and Vera Hansen outside. The elevator’s red floor numbers kept changing. Eventually, it reached floor 1. The elevator doors opened, and Serena walked out of Lawson Tower with the documents in hand. She planned to catch a taxi. In the next moment— She saw Silas Hawthorne’s Bentley waiting nearby. With a smile, Serena walked to his car, opened the passenger door, and sat inside. "I heard The Lawsons looked for you, did he cause you any trouble?" Silas Hawthorne said, looking at her, "Can I do anything?" Serena just looked at him, without speaking. Recalling what Vera said, she felt something, rummaging through her purse, she took out the divorce certificate. Silas Hawthorne watched her, patiently waiting. Serena took out her phone and snapped a picture of the inside of the divorce certificate. Then, she edited to send it on her "Serena" platform account— Serena: Happy divorce. The attached image was the divorce certificate’s inside.
