First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Strip Her Bare

After all, the power of The Lockwood Group is immense. Even if Justin Nash has friends in the court, they might not dare to help her. If they really helped her, they might offend Caleb Lockwood, which would mean she implicated them.

Serena Jennings thought these things in her heart but didn’t say them out loud. However, just by looking at Serena’s expression, Justin Nash could guess a bit. He didn’t give Serena any promises, only said he would consult someone after meeting tomorrow, telling her not to feel burdened.

The next day, Justin Nash didn’t even go to work at the juvenile facility. Serena asked the director, who said Justin Nash took leave to go to the court for a matter concerning his life’s happiness, which left Serena amused and frustrated.

In the office, Serena organized the forms until lunch break, as the thunderstorm outside intensified.

She wasn’t afraid of thunder, but her office was rather isolated, at the end of the second-floor corridor, and since it was lunch break, almost all the teachers had left. After all, the juvenile facility was essentially half a prison, quite oppressive, so even a short break was made use of by the teachers to get outside.

Only two instructors stayed behind, but based on Serena’s experience, they were likely taking a nap, which made the whole building eerily empty, so an unexpected thunderclap was quite startling.

Serena, as a counselor, needed to be on call at all times, so she didn’t leave and ordered takeout for lunch.

Checking the app, her delivery should have arrived.

Serena was about to contact the delivery person when the office door suddenly knocked.

"Delivery."

Serena immediately opened the door, but the person standing outside wasn’t the delivery man.

At the same time, Claire Shaw had taken leave today and was heading to The Lockwood Group.

The thunderstorm made the already unsmooth traffic even more congested. Claire Shaw drove while occasionally checking her WeChat, but the chat wasn’t with Caleb Lockwood.

joker: Everything is arranged, you can head over anytime.

Claire Shaw replied with "Okay," put down her phone, stepped on the gas, and sped through the storm in her pink sports car.

Juvenile facility.

Serena Jennings was being cornered by a group of troubled students in her office.

The leader was Sean Sanders, who had previously bullied Justin Nash.

Sean Sanders was tall and sturdy, looking menacing even at age 16.

As the counselor here, Serena had some understanding of these troubled students.

Those in the juvenile facility were all minors who had committed offenses.

Sean Sanders was among the worst of them; he had raped two classmates at age 14, one of whom didn’t even dare report it.

Even after entering the facility, he frequently fought and formed gangs.

Because of some influence at home, many in the facility turned a blind eye to his atrocities.

Sean Sanders threw Serena’s ordered takeout straight into the trash, then smirked malevolently at her.

"Hello, Miss Jennings!"

The last one to enter locked the office door with a click.

It was clear these people had ill intentions. Serena was forced to the windows, silently gripping the thermos on her desk.

"What do you want?"

Serena glared at them, but as a girl, she had no authority over a group of strong boys.

"Nothing much; just wanted to ask if Miss Jennings has a boyfriend? How about considering me?"

Sean Sanders pointed at his nose.

Serena tried to maintain her composure and said decisively, "I’m already married."

"Being a married woman is even better! We lack experience, maybe Miss Jennings can teach us..."
