Playtime's Over, CEO: She's Really Done With You-Chapter 434: We’re Going to Hold a Small Engagement Party

Chapter 434: Chapter 434: We’re Going to Hold a Small Engagement Party

Moreover, Serena Sterling is the victim of Isla Lawson’s capriciousness this time.

"My goal is not to fight against anyone, not to embarrass anyone."

Looking at Julian Lawson, Serena said: "My goal has always been to restore the Sheridan Family, find out the truth about my father’s death, and resolve everything."

The breeze gently blew by, and Julian Lawson nodded; he had known all along what she was talking about.

"I will tell her," he said.

Serena also nodded.

Their conversation came to a halt, and silence filled the air.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Serena turned around, once again facing the car door.

"Alright then, I’ll go back first," Serena said, reaching out to open the car door.

"You’ve lost weight." As Serena opened the door, Julian’s voice came through, "Is Silas Hawthorne not treating you well?"

Serena looked at her own reflection in the car window.

She suppressed her emotions and said, "No, he’s very good to me."

Better than when I was with you. — She said in her heart.

Silas would bring her delicious food, take care of her thoughtfully, sense her thoughts, and cooperate fully.

He wouldn’t hurt her, and he was good to Seraphina too.

He loved her very much.

He even enjoyed pampering her with food.

It’s just that she had too many things to do and think about, which is why she hadn’t gained any weight.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back." She said, then pulled the door open and got into the car.

"I miss you." Julian’s voice came again.

Serena didn’t look at him; she simply looked ahead through the windshield.

"Serena, I need some more time," he said, "I love you."

A gust of wind blew in fiercely through the car door that Serena hadn’t closed, ruffling her hair.

Her black hair was slightly disheveled, but amidst it, there were strands of glaring white.

These white hairs swayed gently in the wind with the other black strands.

Julian’s gaze fell on those white hairs.

"Your hair..." His heart tightened, "What’s going on? Is it Silas...?"

"It’s not because of Silas." Serena cut him off before Julian could finish; she turned her head, her dark eyes meeting Julian’s gaze directly.

In that instant, Julian understood.

Looking at the length of the white hair, he knew.

It was because of him.

Because of the child they lost.

"You’re only 25 years old..." Julian’s eyes reddened slightly.

"So what?" Serena smiled slightly, her eyes moistening a bit.

She didn’t want to say much to Julian.

She accepted that she had once loved the wrong person.

She didn’t regret her past efforts, but she cherished the present more.

However, she could no longer have biological children.

Fortunately, she still had Seraphina.

She didn’t want to say more to him; she didn’t want to think about the past or go through that pain again.

Serena lowered her eyes slightly, turned her head back, and no longer looked at Julian.

"In a while," Serena suppressed her emotions and said, "Silas and I will have a small engagement ceremony."

She said, "Before the official wedding."

She didn’t look at Julian, just spoke calmly: "Silas will take care of everything, the proposal, the engagement, the wedding, the honeymoon, everything will be there."

What you once gave or didn’t give me, will all be there.

But she didn’t say this out loud.

"I’m really going to marry him," Serena continued, "So, you should also find someone soon."

"But I only want you!" Julian’s voice was urgent and quick.

He said, "Let’s have a wedding again, Serena, I let you down before. This time, whatever you want, I’ll give it to you!"

"What I prepare will be better than Silas’s, I..."

"Enough!" Serena interrupted Julian.

She let out a long sigh and closed the car door.

She said, "Julian, we’re already over."

"I’ve said this many times, and I don’t want to repeat it."

With those words, Serena started the car and left.

"It’s not over!" Julian’s voice came from behind, "Serena, I haven’t agreed yet; I still have many things to tell you! You’ll understand me!"

Serena didn’t pay attention to him; she just controlled the car to turn the corner, and Julian in the rearview mirror disappeared completely from sight.

She wasn’t going to look back.

What happened in the past happened; the hurt has become hurt, and everything she lost will never come back.

Serena suppressed her emotions.

She wanted to keep moving forward.

Her life couldn’t be trapped here; she had a new lover and Seraphina, more important things to do.

What she wanted was success.

Behind her, Julian controlled his wheelchair, trying to chase after her, but he couldn’t catch up. He could only watch her car turn the corner and disappear.

"Serena!"

He could only call out in vain.

The voice echoed in the desolate cemetery nearby.

But no matter how many times he called, there would be no response, no one would call him "Julian" again.

Even the present Serena, standing before him, would only call him "Julian Lawson" and "President Lawson"; the affectionate nickname from that dark hallway had vanished.

Find Preston Langley!

He must capture Preston Langley!

Julian’s emotions surged, and he tightly gripped the wheelchair handle.

As long as he caught Preston Langley, he could tell her everything, she would understand him.

She definitely would.

He clung to this like a lifeline.

...

As everyone was buzzing about Jasper Ford’s "dog theory," the circle was shaken once more.

Just because Aether had made a new move again.

Instead of suddenly announcing an order as before, this time Brandon Huxley suddenly announced several cooperation orders.

This news immediately caused a huge stir within the circle.

"So many?"

"This adds up to several billion, right?"

It’s more than just a few billion; these cooperation contracts undoubtedly have other benefits, and many things shouldn’t be measured solely by order value.

For a time, Aether’s valuation skyrocketed again.

The speed of this surge was like a rocket.

Many were in awe.

"I heard more is to come, but Brandon Huxley has various criteria for partners, which is why only this part was chosen."

"You mean there will be more?"

"Yes!"

"Why are they so optimistic about Aether? Just because of this technological breakthrough?"

"Isn’t this enough? Even TT had to collaborate with them. Plus, they have this technological foundation here, if they want to research other things in the future, they’re the most likely to make breakthroughs, and..."

"And what? Quick, tell us!"

Everyone urged the person who knew the "inside story" to speak.

But that person deliberately teased, waiting for everyone to ask one by one, waiting until everyone was curious, then he said: "I heard Aether has another big secret!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"What secret?"

The person smiled and said, "It’s definitely a secret that will make Aether’s valuation soar even more!"
