Chapter 180: Exposed! Silas Hawthorne Relentlessly Pursues Serena Sterling
Beach.The rain has stopped, and Serena Sterling is gazing outside.
Silas Hawthorne just asked her if she would mind their relationship being exposed.
"No," she smiled, "it’s bound to happen sooner or later."
She looked at the sea over there, having just had a little bit of alcohol, now suddenly wanted to go to the water’s edge to play.
Saying this, she went ahead and did it.
She took off her heels and held them in her hand, then walked to the water’s edge to splash around.
Silas followed close behind, smiling as he watched her.
Serena’s mischievous side came out, and she tossed her heels aside, scooped up a handful of water, and turned around to splash it at Silas.
He was caught off guard, and got splashed directly.
But he was only slightly startled before he laughed helplessly.
He crouched down and scooped up some water to splash it at her.
"Haha, you can’t hit me." Serena was already prepared and jumped to dodge.
She ran splashing through the water, avoiding his splashes while scooping up water to splash at him.
The two of them were frolicking; Silas’s hair was covered in droplets, his previously neat hair now wet and drooping, with water dripping from it.
Serena’s mouth curled into a smile, suddenly...
In a moment of distraction, Serena looked at his face, and memory seemed to flicker.
It seemed, somewhere before, she had seen him like this.
Except that he wasn’t smiling at the time.
"What’s wrong?" Silas noticed her strange expression and walked over, also finding her heels and carrying them along.
Serena smiled and shook her head, casting those images aside; she just wanted to be happy now.
She realized she couldn’t remember how long it had been since she had played around so childishly.
It seemed, at every moment, she had to shoulder many responsibilities.
Since her father’s death, she had never truly relaxed.
She had too many things to consider.
This left her almost breathless.
She didn’t splash in the water anymore, but walked to another side; she just saw there was a piano over there.
After wiping her hands clean, she spontaneously played a piano piece.
The seaside wind, freely flowing hair, relaxed and gentle seaside, an unattended piano, and a person who made her feel at ease.
She liked this carefree and liberated feeling.
Just like when she was a child.
Once she finished the piece, applause came from her side.
She opened her eyes, looking at him, smiling and nodding.
He was looking at her too, as the night breeze lifted her long hair.
He liked this bold and unrestrained her.
He liked her at any time.
...
On the other side, Orion Hawthorne was at home training the cat.
"Mimi, now you are the hero of the house." Orion Hawthorne said to the fat ragdoll, "You can’t just do backflips, you need to do more and lure Seraphina, that little girl, over."
"Meow~"
The fat ragdoll turned around, showing its backside to Orion Hawthorne.
Orion Hawthorne’s mouth twitched slightly but firmly turned the ragdoll back around.
"That’s what my brother said, you need to learn more, you have to listen to my brother." Orion Hawthorne instructed, "And you really like them too, don’t you?"
The little cat glanced at Orion Hawthorne and finally meowed to agree.
"That’s the way." Orion Hawthorne smiled faintly and then took out his phone to show the cat, "Come on, let’s do this, open up! Let’s reverse the situation!"
Last time he wanted the fat ragdoll to learn, it refused.
This time it looked quite willing.
It was already baring its teeth.
Just then, his phone rang.
Orion Hawthorne glanced at it; it was an unfamiliar number.
Remembering what his brother advised him today, he cleared his throat with a cough and answered.
"Hello? Who is it?" Orion Hawthorne opened.
"Hello, Mr. Huxley, we’re reporters, and we’ve just caught some scoops. Are you interested in buying?" The caller started straight away.
Orion Hawthorne understood and remembered his brother’s advice, he continued to ask, "What’s it about specifically?"
"It’s a video of your brother and Serena Sterling’s date," the caller answered.
Orion Hawthorne chuckled, saying, "Oh, my brother said not to buy it, you can treat it however you like." Fınd the newest release on ????????????????????⚑????????????????⚑????????????
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
After hanging up, he showed the fat ragdoll the video of reversing the situation, while he picked up another phone and started browsing trending topics for entertainment.
"Hehehe." Orion Hawthorne laughed at what was about to happen, "Julian Lawson is not going to be able to keep his cool, haha."
...
The two paparazzi looked at each other.
"Bro, what should we do?" One of them asked.
"Orion mentioned it was his brother’s advice, which means Silas Hawthorne anticipated it." The other answered, "Then just post it online directly, that way we can still get some traffic!"
"Alright!"
"I’ll do it, you need some finesse, take notes." The one continued.
...
At that moment, the already lively discussion online suddenly saw a new video appear.
In the video, a couple was playing at the beach; the woman splashed water at the man while stepping in the seawater, but he didn’t get angry at all and casually splashed water at her with her heels in hand.
Anyone could tell that he simply wouldn’t bear to splash her seriously, just teased her playfully.
Similarly, the video’s angle was extremely tricky, only showing angles where the woman’s face is avoided while dodging the water droplets.
This made the onlookers anxious.
"These paparazzi are doing this on purpose, showing me just this!"
"I’m anxious, hurry up and show the footage with a clear face!"
...
Meanwhile, that top dog cheekily smiled, posted a line of text on his account—[Like this ten times to unlock the next video.]
The top liked comment from the users was—"Screw you, this is really sneaky!"
However, despite the sneaky behavior, users still gave their likes rapidly, breaking through ten thousand in no time.
Not just ten thousand, it quickly reached a million.
The buzz skyrocketed.
"Bro, only you could pull this off!" The nearby paparazzi were awestruck.
The top dog flashed a charming smile and uploaded a video.
Thus, the piano playing video appeared, but still without a reveal.
Then, he lavishly posted another update—[Follow over fifty thousand to release a full face reveal of the female lead.]
Users groaned, what a slick move, such a slick move!
The top liked comment was—"Point-point, pointing out, you’re going too far!"
Underneath was a pile of gestures and emojis.
If there was heat before, now it just kept growing bigger, attracting the attention of countless people, becoming a national frenzy, madly guessing who the female lead was.
"I guess it’s the Chaucer Family’s daughter."
"I guess it’s the Huxley Family’s!"
"It could be a foreign aristocrat!"
"You fool, just by looking at the body shape and outfit you can tell it’s someone domestic!"
...
Countless people followed the account, shooting to over a million, just to get the face reveal video.
"Bro, are we doing this again?" The nearby paparazzi watched as their top dog not only collected traffic and cash but also placed a highly paid ad between the face reveal videos, rubbing hands.
He rolled his eyes: "Do this again, and we’ll get beaten up."
Thus, a string of videos was released.
Released were all full-face videos.
This time, the entire nation exploded.
"What, this person is actually Serena Sterling!"
"The mysterious woman Silas Hawthorne is chasing is actually Serena Sterling!"
"Am I seeing this right, oh my, what about Julian Lawson then..."
#Silas Hawthorne Pursuing Serena Sterling#
This trending topic firmly occupied the number one spot.
It captured the attention of countless people.
In the apartment, Julian Lawson looked at the series of face reveal videos and trending topics, and suddenly swept everything off the table beside him.
"Crash bang..."
Countless items crashed to the floor, creating a huge noise.
His hand was cut by the shards, blood dripping from his fingers.
But he seemed to feel nothing, only stared fiercely at those video screens.
