Mr. Miller slightly parted his thin lips.
The reason he accompanied Claire to visit Serena today was, of course, because Caleb Lockwood instructed him to.
Although Mr. Miller had been working as an assistant by Caleb Lockwood’s side for years, he didn’t know much about Claire. He only knew she was Caleb’s first love, and in their youth, they had gone through hardships together at the juvenile detention center, life and death intertwined. She was a pure and untouchable memory in Caleb’s heart.
However, Mr. Miller didn’t particularly like Claire Shaw.
Back in the day, Caleb Lockwood and Claire were a match made in heaven, well-known and high-profile in their high school.
Even now, many of Caleb’s classmates still believe that Caleb and Claire are lovers.
In the eyes of outsiders, Caleb was deeply in love with Claire.
In terms of appearance, family background, and personal ability, Caleb was considered top-notch.
Mr. Miller didn’t think Caleb was undeserving of Claire.
Yet, Claire Shaw broke up with Caleb Lockwood.
Mr. Miller wasn’t particularly clear on the details; he heard it had something to do with Caleb’s grandfather.
Caleb’s first and most serious emotional investment suffered a huge blow.
The worst part was, Claire wasn’t decisive in the breakup.
She went abroad yet kept posting on social media to provoke Caleb, hoping he’d chase her overseas to win her back.
In the end, Caleb chose to get married.
Mr. Miller clearly knew Serena was chosen by Lance Lockwood, not by Caleb himself.
Caleb does not love Serena.
But, since he’s already married, Serena is Caleb’s only wife.
From Mr. Miller’s standpoint, he wasn’t qualified to comment on other people’s families, especially his boss’s, but he did personally think Serena was the most innocent victim in this romantic entanglement.
"Mr. Miller? Why aren’t you saying anything?"
Mr. Miller snapped back to reality, seeing the naked pressure in Claire’s seemingly harmless big eyes.
"Well, Miss Jennings refused to accept it because..."
Before Mr. Miller could finish, Claire immediately took back her phone.
"Caleb, do you think I shouldn’t have come to see Serena by myself? Maybe it’d be better if you accompanied me? If you were there, even if Serena disliked my gift, she wouldn’t show it so obviously..."
The more Claire spoke, the more her voice seemed forlorn.
"Did she say something harsh to you?" Caleb’s voice came from the phone.
Claire was silent at first, then nodded after a moment.
"Yeah..."
"Ignore her."
Caleb’s voice was extremely cold from the speaker, making Claire feel secretly pleased.
"Then what about the gift..."
"Just keep it yourself!"
"Hmm, I guess I’ll have to."
Claire looked as if she was in a difficult situation.
She never once told Caleb the gift she gave Serena was a bunch of pink roses, and Caleb never asked.
A few days later, when Caleb finished his business, he appeared in Serena’s hospital room.
There were a few people in Serena’s hospital room:
Lana Xavier, Peter, and Patrick Rhodes were all there.
Everyone’s gaze was on Caleb Lockwood.
The first person Caleb looked at was Patrick.
Under Caleb’s cold steady gaze, Patrick rubbed the back of his neck, feeling like he had been bitten by a snake.
"Brother Lockwood..."
