Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Serena Yeats Is Missing?
"Sis-in-law, let me tell you, these are for livestreaming. I’ve discovered a way to make money—livestream selling, the best money-making opportunity right now."
"Really? Can you actually sell things this way?"
Serena Yeats looked at the items and, listening to Theodore Lynch, became interested.
Theodore Lynch quickly nodded. "Sis-in-law, you may not know this, but if you seize this opportunity, sign with some good artists, you can achieve great results, and also...!"
"That’s amazing! Is it very profitable?"
"Of course, besides the basic income, there’s also commission."
As soon as Serena heard ’make money,’ her eyes lit up, "I want to make money too."
Theodore’s eyes sparkled, sizing up Serena.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.
He immediately got a number set up, and he and Serena started livestreaming together.
Serena was eagerly anticipating trying it out.
But when the livestream started, as soon as she sat down, she was attracted by the snacks on the table and started munching away.
She ate so eagerly, making those beside her crave too.
Completely absorbed by the food, she couldn’t move and just kept eating, sharing with the staff nearby.
This carefree approach, not aiming to sell but just eating, combined with Serena’s naturally cute and high attractiveness level...
She was genuine, not pretentious, and in less than half an hour, a huge number of viewers flooded the livestream room.
Everyone was busy enjoying the food; no one paid attention to how the livestream room was doing.
In the comment section, messages were flooding so much that it lagged.
The incoming fans all called out for purchase links.
When Theodore came around and looked at the big screen, he was startled.
"Sis-in-law, there are now two hundred thousand people in the livestream room."
Serena instinctively looked up at the big screen, and with a mouthful of food puffing her cheeks, she was genuinely adorable in her surprise.
She was at a loss, "What do I do? I was just focused on eating."
This question made the livestream room even more lively.
The numbers kept climbing.
Theodore didn’t make her stick to a script and started chatting casually.
He immediately set up a link, and as soon as it went up, everything was sold out the next second.
Serena, under Theodore’s guidance, gradually relaxed.
They cooperated well and directly sold out the stock.
However.
When Elias Lancaster returned to the office after the meeting and didn’t see anyone, he took out his phone to make a call, but it rang on the office sofa.
He picked up the phone to check.
He immediately sent someone to look for her.
Twenty minutes later.
"President Lancaster, we couldn’t find the madam."
Elias, panicking, "Check the company’s surveillance."
Ten minutes later.
"President Lancaster, the last thing we saw was Young Master Lynch taking the madam into the elevator."
Quentin Shaw, panting, "I called Young Master Lynch, but no one answered."
Meanwhile, Theodore and Serena were engrossed in their selling spree in the livestream room, selling with growing enthusiasm.
Theodore had his phone on silent, and by now he didn’t even know where his phone had been left.
His two assistants were grinning, seeing the growing success.
The money was already enough to cover a quarter’s rent, utilities, and all expenses.
Elias Lancaster was intensely worried, his face growing cold.
He personally checked the surveillance and saw Theodore with Serena in the elevator going up to the top floor, but they weren’t seen getting off.
Now, looking at the time, three hours had passed, and they still hadn’t found her. It was impossible for someone to go missing without leaving the company.
He couldn’t help but feel scared, mobilizing the entire building to search.
Lancaster Group had a big operation today, as the boss’s wife was missing, and everyone was looking.
One report after another came in, but no one found her.
Elias Lancaster was worried sick.
In the waiting, his heart was deeply tormented, considering every possibility.
At 5 PM.
"Bang..."
"Found her."
Secretary Hughes burst into the CEO’s office, holding the phone, shouting loudly.
Elias stood up immediately, "Where is she?"
"Here!"
Secretary Hughes placed the phone in front of Elias.
He saw Serena livestreaming on the phone, sighed in relief, watching his little girl with her simple, cute expressions.
Seeing she was perfectly fine, his face darkened again.
Now that she was found, his expression alternated between amusement and irritation, which scared Quentin and Secretary Hughes into holding their breath.
Quentin’s inner thoughts: Little madam, come back soon! We can’t handle this.
His dark expression was because someone in the comments asked, is it okay for his little girl to be someone’s girlfriend?
At this moment, he didn’t want anyone seeing his little girl. He wanted to hide her away.
Her every move tugged at his heart, her innocent smile enchanted him even through the screen.
Quentin tentatively asked, "President Lancaster, how should we handle this?"
Elias’s eyes showed a hint of indulgence, "With Theodore around, nothing will happen. She’s having so much fun, let her enjoy it!"
Quentin looked at him in disbelief.
He didn’t know who kept losing their temper over not finding her, like he wanted to beat her once found.
But now that she was found, he’s letting her go, is this really okay?
Most importantly, Quentin felt he’d swallowed a spoonful of dog food as a single man.
For the first time, Quentin felt their President Lancaster was a bit double-standard.
But one thing he was sure of, Young Master Lynch wouldn’t have an easy time.
By 6 PM, he still hadn’t seen her, and Elias was furious, radiating cold air.
He quickly downloaded the app, registered with his real name, and entered the livestream room.
He sent a message: "You better bring her back to me right now!"
But...
The message was immediately drowned by other comments.
Five minutes later, watching the two happily chatting in the livestream room, his face darkened even more.
He sent the same message repeatedly.
Theodore unintentionally glanced at the comments and saw that message.
He froze instantly, feeling doomed.
The next moment.
"Thank you for your support, everyone. We’re logging off, see you tomorrow."
Having said that, Theodore didn’t care about the fans’ reactions, logged off immediately, and quickly pulled Serena out.
The two assistants were dumbfounded, not understanding this move.
Serena hadn’t yet realized until she was already in the elevator.
"Sis-in-law, you have to save my little life!"
"Huh?" Serena looked puzzled.
"We got too carried away with the livestream and lost track of time. Master Lancaster’s been looking for you, he even found the livestream..."
After listening to Theodore recount the events.
Serena realized, oh no!
The two entered the CEO’s office with their heads hanging low.
