Playtime's Over, CEO: She's Really Done With You-Chapter 491: If You Want to Threaten Julian Lawson, You Can Only Use Me

Chapter 491: Chapter 491: If You Want to Threaten Julian Lawson, You Can Only Use Me

Preston Langley spoke and smashed the glass decoration beside him, grabbing a sharp shard and slicing it across Seraphina’s neck.

Blood immediately started to flow.

Seraphina woke up and began to cry loudly.

Pressing the gun to Seraphina’s forehead, Preston Langley shouted angrily, "Move aside, or I’ll kill her!"

Finally, he glanced in Serena’s direction: "I’ve killed quite a few. If I can’t get out alive, I don’t mind taking some down with me!"

The streets were filled with sirens, the police were already on the scene since this all started.

"Sniper in position."

"The suspect has a hostage, be careful!"

...

"Move or not!" Preston Langley roared again, pressing hard on Seraphina’s neck wound, blood gushing out.

"Wow..." Seraphina cried out in pain.

In that instant, countless possibilities and solutions flashed through Serena’s mind, but none could handle the scene before her.

Preston Langley had killed many; if he couldn’t leave, Seraphina...

"Serena!" Preston Langley shouted.

"Let him go!" Nails digging into her palm, Serena gritted her teeth in pain.

Serena had no choice but to say so.

Nearby, Xander Linton and Jasper Ford exchanged glances, then gestured for the security personnel to clear a path.

Preston Langley dragged the crying and fussing Seraphina out.

"My target is you." Preston Langley said to Serena at the door, "Whether you follow determines her fate!"

With clenched fists trembling, Serena watched Preston Langley, Silas, Seraphina, and her mother from afar...

Hatred surged; Serena wished she could kill him right then!

But now, only one path lay before her.

Preston Langley was already smirking as he dragged Seraphina towards the car.

"Take care of Silas."

Serena took one last look at the bloodied Silas whose fate was uncertain, her voice hoarse. She glanced at Clara Huxley, almost breathless with sobs, and said, "Everything I have, I entrust to the Hawthorne Family."

Then, without another glance, she turned forcibly, tearing off the large skirt of her wedding dress, and ran outside.

"Serena!"

"Serena!"

"It’s dangerous, Serena, don’t follow him!"

Bianca Lynch tried to rush over frantically to stop her, but Justin Jennings held her tight.

"Justin Jennings, let me go!" Bianca Lynch cried hysterically, "Didn’t you hear what she said! She’s giving her last words! Let me go..."

"Preston Langley is after Julian Lawson!"

"He’ll never let Serena go! That car accident when Serena was pregnant was caused by Preston Langley driving into her; he’s wanted her dead for a long time!"

But Justin Jennings, with reddened eyes, still held her without letting go.

Jasper Ford, Xander Linton, and Ethan Lynch were almost losing their minds.

Gigi Sutton went outside to bring in the medical personnel.

Isla Lawson kept making calls to gather people to pursue.

Meanwhile, Clara Huxley had run to Silas’s side, crying uncontrollably.

The ambulance had arrived, and medical personnel began basic treatment for Silas immediately.

The internet was practically exploding.

"Isn’t this the killer Preston Langley who escaped with Vera Hansen back then!"

"Yes, my God, he actually hid inside when people went out to find Serena!"

"What do we do now? Is Silas Hawthorne still alive? What about Serena? She looks on the verge of collapse!"

...

Elsewhere, Julian Lawson finally arrived at the scene, but the people were already gone.

"Brother!" Isla Lawson immediately ran out, "They’ve already gone!"

Julian Lawson gritted his teeth and immediately called Preston Langley.

It connected within moments.

"Where are you!" Julian roared as soon as the call connected.

On the other end, there were sounds of a child crying.

Preston Langley sneered, "Where is Vera Hansen? Julian Lawson, I want Vera!"

"Let them go! Preston Langley, if you dare to hurt Serena or Seraphina, I’ll make your life a living hell!" Julian Lawson yelled.

"Hahaha!" Preston Langley laughed gleefully, "Now you’re anxious? Where was that anxiety when you threatened me with Vera Hansen before?"

"Julian Lawson, I want you to not only bring Vera Hansen, but also handle all the procedures for us to get out of the country!" Preston Langley’s voice was filled with madness, "If you can’t do that, Julian Lawson, you know what I’m capable of!"

With that, Preston Langley ended the call abruptly.

He didn’t mention an address, just left a string of beeping tones.

"Brother, what now, Serena and Seraphina..." Isla Lawson asked anxiously, "Did you detain Vera Hansen? Where is Vera Hansen?"

Ian Yates was also anxious, "Didn’t Vera Hansen run? Mr. Lawson, where can we find another Vera Hansen now!"

Julian Lawson didn’t look at anyone, he just took the car keys from Ian Yates, started the engine, and drove off without knowing where to go.

"Brother!"

"Mr. Lawson!"

"Julian Lawson, where are you going?!"

...

Elsewhere.

Serena stared intently at the car in front.

Followed all the way.

She had long since kicked off her high heels and drove barefoot.

Silas was already in a life-and-death situation; she couldn’t lose Seraphina as well...

Silas...

Thinking of Silas lying in a pool of blood, Serena’s heart wrenched with pain.

She dared not think about his condition, she could only focus on the present.

The car ahead kept driving.

From the bustling city, it drove towards the suburbs, and Serena followed all the way.

Dusk was falling, headlights switched on; there were only a few cars on the road at this point.

The two cars, one following the other, finally arrived outside an abandoned factory in the countryside.

It was completely dark by then.

Preston Langley stopped the car and dragged the hoarse-voiced crying Seraphina out.

"Don’t do this to her!" Serena immediately parked and got out as well.

"Whimper..." Seraphina’s voice was hoarse, "Aunt Serena..."

Serena wasn’t wearing high heels, her feet hurt stepping on the stones, but she no longer cared about such things.

"It’s me you want." Serena took a step closer, saying, "There are only the three of us here; you don’t need to worry about a swap going wrong."

"Let Seraphina go." Serena said, continuing to close in, "If you want to threaten Julian Lawson, you can only use me!"

But Preston Langley just sneered.

Desolation surrounded them, Preston Langley glanced around to confirm it was indeed only the three of them.

But still, he didn’t agree to a swap: "I’ll take her inside, and you’ll follow naturally, swap? Am I stupid?"

With that, Preston Langley dragged Seraphina towards the abandoned factory.

"Come in!" he said.

The dark factory loomed like a giant beast with its mouth wide open, ready to swallow them whole.

Serena clenched her fists and followed inside before Preston Langley and Seraphina’s figures disappeared.
