Playtime's Over, CEO: She's Really Done With You-Chapter 492: Haven’t You Always Wanted to Protect Her?

Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Haven’t You Always Wanted to Protect Her?

In just a moment, everyone’s cars and numerous police personnel surrounded us.

They had been following us all along but dared not get too close, fearing Preston Langley might go crazy and retaliate, they only chased us from afar.

Now stopped, Chloe Langley immediately had people stealthily lie in ambush.

Bianca Lynch and the others were positioned in a corner, unable to move freely.

The ground floor of the factory was already faintly lit, Bianca Lynch was a sobbing mess, but at this moment, she dared not speak up, only silently wiped her tears.

"Where’s Julian Lawson?" She whispered.

Everyone shook their heads.

Julian Lawson wasn’t here.

No one knew where he went.

...

Meanwhile.

Julian Lawson had already arrived at the villa in the outskirts.

He rushed all the way, reached the basement, opened the room where Vera Hansen was kept, and grabbed a pair of handcuffs nearby, cuffing Vera’s hands behind her back, pulling her out.

"What are you doing?" Vera Hansen screamed, but Julian Lawson completely ignored her, only dragging her outside.

Jude Chaucer had hurriedly arrived as well, looking at the scene, he anxiously said, "President Lawson, are you really going to take her there?"

"Get out of the way!" Julian Lawson yelled angrily.

Jude Chaucer was a bit overwhelmed, "President Lawson, have you thought it through? If you take her out, then our holding of Vera Hansen will be exposed. And if you really hand her over to Preston Langley, we’ll have no leverage left."

But Julian Lawson’s eyes were red as he looked at him.

"Jude." Julian Lawson’s eyes blazed, "The photos have already been spread, now the internet is flooded with all kinds of obscene slander against her!"

"She’s been taken by Preston Langley along with Seraphina." Julian Lawson said, "Jude, I have no choice."

Jude Chaucer’s eyes turned red too, he knew as well.

Julian Lawson dragged Vera Hansen all the way upstairs, Jude Chaucer following behind.

"Notify everyone, I’m stepping down voluntarily, from this moment on, I have no relationship with The Lawson Corporation, all company matters will be temporarily handled by my grandfather."

Julian Lawson threw Vera Hansen into the car, cuffed her to the seat, and told Jude Chaucer, "Manage the Lawson Corporation matters, immediately."

"President Lawson..." Jude Chaucer’s eyes reddened.

"I’m counting on you," Julian Lawson said finally, then started the car, leaving immediately.

"President Lawson, President Lawson!" Jude Chaucer could only watch from afar as Julian Lawson drove away, then quickly called Caleb Lawson.

"Sir, President Lawson he..." Jude Chaucer quickly explained the situation, "According to President Lawson we need to release an announcement immediately!"

...

The car sped down the road, with Vera Hansen still screaming in the back.

"What are you guys doing? Where are you taking me? Julian Lawson, figure it out, if you kill me, Preston Langley will definitely retaliate!"

"Shut up!" Julian Lawson shouted angrily, "If you don’t shut up now, I’ll kill you here!"

Vera Hansen remembered everything from these days and could only shrink her head, keeping silent.

Julian Lawson grabbed his phone, calling Preston Langley on video.

In just a moment, Preston Langley picked up, that sinister face appeared on the video.

Julian Lawson pointed the camera at Vera Hansen in the backseat, cuffed up, saying, "I’ve brought the person, the address!"

"Good, very good!" Preston Langley grinned sinisterly, then said to Vera in the back, "Vera, don’t worry, Serena’s in my hands, once we meet, we’re crossing the border!"

Vera Hansen’s eyes brightened immediately.

Remembering these days of "treatment", she cried, "Preston, look at me, Julian Lawson abused me! I’ve suffered endlessly, living is worse than death, sob sob... Preston, luckily I have you, you must take me away, or soon I’ll be tortured to death by him..."

Julian Lawson instantly hung up the phone, but the first half of the words had already been transmitted.

"Vera!" Julian Lawson yelled in anger.

But Vera Hansen didn’t seem scared at all, "What are you going to do to me?"

The next moment, the phone rang again, it was a video call request.

"Answer, what? Afraid to answer?" Vera Hansen mocked, "Even if I don’t speak, by just seeing me like this, he wouldn’t believe I’m enjoying life in the basement!"

Julian Lawson gritted his teeth, watching the phone ring continuously, he stomped on the brakes, reached over to gag Vera Hansen with a cloth, then restarted the car, reluctantly picking up the call.

"Julian Lawson!" Preston Langley screamed angrily, "Why did you hang up? Are you abusing Vera Hansen again!"

Julian Lawson didn’t speak, only looked at Preston Langley.

"Where’s Vera?" Preston Langley roared, "Why isn’t she speaking? Let her talk to me!"

"Preston Langley." Julian Lawson said coldly, "We’re exchanging people now, make it clear, if something happens to Serena and Seraphina, Vera won’t live either!"

Julian Lawson spoke each word clearly, "I’ve resigned from The Lawson Corporation’s presidency, Preston Langley, I’m not afraid to get my hands bloody!"

The two stared at each other, seeing madness in each other’s eyes.

"Good, very good." Preston Langley said.

Then, he shouted to someone on the other side, "Come over!"

Julian Lawson’s hand clutched the steering wheel tightly.

In the abandoned factory.

Seraphina was tied up by Preston Langley to the side. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Preston Langley ordered Serena Sterling who was not far away.

Serena Sterling did not immediately move, rather she looked distantly at him.

"Ha! Dare to hesitate!" Preston Langley said, grabbing a knife from nearby.

"No!" Before Serena could finish speaking, the knife slashed across Seraphina’s arm.

Blood spurted out.

"Wow! It hurts so much!" Seraphina cried again.

Serena’s heart tore with pain, immediately running over, "Don’t touch Seraphina, I’ll listen to you."

Preston Langley had already grasped her weakness, she could only comply without a solution.

"That’s more like it!" Preston Langley sneered, then angrily ordered her, "Kneel down!"

Serena looked at the still bleeding Seraphina, her knees went weak, and she knelt on the ground.

"Preston Langley!" From the phone, Julian Lawson’s roar could be heard.

But Preston Langley just laughed heartily.

"I’m warning you, Vera Hansen is still in my hands!" Julian Lawson’s angry shout came through.

"So what?" Preston Langley coldly said, "I just saw Vera’s condition, she was quite tormented by you, as exchange, your most beloved woman should suffer too."

"Preston Langley!"

Serena lifted her head, looking at Preston Langley.

"Oh, not just that." Serena saw the utter malice in Preston Langley’s eyes, he said, "Julian Lawson, didn’t you always want to keep those photos from being seen, not let her disgrace be known?" Then..."

Preston Langley said, pulling out another phone, opening it while grinning at Julian Lawson, saying, "Let everyone take a look at how she’s kneeling here, how her dignity and face are shattered by me!"
