First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Peeking

Claire asked with a soft voice, sitting down on the swing next to Ian Blackwood.

Under the night sky, stars twinkling, a man and a woman sat on a small swing, the scene resembling a beautiful romantic comic.

"I went to Serena Jennings’ studio today," Ian Blackwood said.

Claire feigned surprise, though she wasn’t surprised at all inside.

The last time she met Ian Blackwood, she intentionally mentioned that Serena Jennings was her rival in the LD Jewelry Fashion Week to provoke Ian into causing trouble for Serena Jennings.

"I brought Miranda over."

"Miranda... is that the fashion industry bigwig, the editor-in-chief of Radiance, Miranda?" Claire blinked her innocent eyes, cheering inwardly.

Everyone knows how picky Miranda is, so it seems Ian might want Miranda to find fault with Serena Jennings, to directly revoke Serena Jennings’ qualification for the LD Jewelry Fashion Week.

"So... what did Miranda say?"

Claire asked cautiously.

Quickly say Serena Jennings was disqualified by Miranda...

Quickly say it!

Her inner anticipation flowed like a river in flood season.

Though she was well-prepared and confident for the LD Jewelry Fashion Week, having no competitors would be most advantageous and stable for her.

Especially in front of Caleb Lockwood.

If she shines brilliantly at the LD Jewelry Fashion Week, while Serena Jennings is disqualified, she’ll impress Caleb Lockwood even more, enabling her to obtain Lockwood Group’s shares before Serena Jennings.

That night, her mother talked with her a lot.

Valerie Vance learned from Claire that Caleb Lockwood once considered transferring ten percent of Lockwood Group’s shares to Serena Jennings after the divorce.

Though it didn’t happen, time would reveal hidden motives.

Valerie Vance believed Claire must get Lockwood Group’s shares first, regardless of whether Caleb Lockwood divorces Serena Jennings or marries her.

Ian Blackwood was silent for a long time.

"That Serena Jennings... doesn’t seem easy to deal with, Miranda seems to admire her."

"What?!"

Claire exclaimed.

"Ah, sorry, I lost my composure."

Claire bashfully brushed her hair and felt displeased with Ian Blackwood.

Miranda was brought by Ian Blackwood, yet instead of disqualifying Serena Jennings, increased opportunities for her, isn’t that counterproductive!

And she subtly asked Ian if he had seen the designs Serena Jennings was preparing for LD Jewelry Fashion Week in her office, but Ian saw nothing.

What a waste!

Claire didn’t want to waste more time with Ian Blackwood, so she made an excuse to leave, leaving Ian to sit alone on the swing in the cold wind.

The swing made creaking sounds.

Ian Blackwood felt that Claire seemed different tonight.

Not like he remembered.

While Serena Jennings was in the operating room repairing the emerald, he sat at Serena Jennings’ desk.

There were blueprints on the desk.

Although they were rough sketches, unfinished and still being modified, Ian Blackwood speculated that "Across the Chrysalis" might be Serena Jennings’ jewelry theme for LD Jewelry Fashion Week.

He could have told Claire about it.

But he chose not to.

Ian Blackwood didn’t know why.

That night, he couldn’t leave the swing.

He thought all night, but couldn’t find the answer.

That night, Caleb Lockwood didn’t leave the general manager’s office.

After waiting all night, Wyatt Coleman’s submitted divorce papers were still unsatisfactory.

That night, Serena Jennings didn’t go home.

The next day, Quentin Xavier was the first to arrive at work.

Because he was out procuring supplies yesterday, Serena Jennings told him not to detour back to the company, just to clock out directly, so he compensated with a nap at home, restored his energy, and arrived early at the company today.
