First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: We Don’t Have to Divorce Anymore

Being scolded by Valerie Vance, Claire Shaw felt even more aggrieved.

The last time Valerie had a long talk with her, she mentioned drugging Caleb Lockwood.

Claire Shaw did not agree.

On one hand, she still had confidence in herself, believing that Caleb Lockwood wouldn’t be able to resist wanting her.

Back in high school, when she and Caleb Lockwood were dating, Caleb didn’t touch her.

Because he said they were still students, he wanted to cherish her properly.

And now, Caleb Lockwood still hadn’t touched her.

Once, she had actively invited him several times, openly, subtly, she even moved into Caleb’s house, but Caleb still wouldn’t share a room with her.

She couldn’t exactly climb into Caleb Lockwood’s bed to seduce him, that would make her seem too cheap.

The result was that she and Caleb had never even had skin contact.

Claire Shaw was terribly anxious.

But she didn’t dare to use drugs.

She knew Caleb Lockwood.

Caleb was so shrewd, once drugged, he would immediately find out, even if they did end up doing it, Caleb would not only refuse to marry her but would dump her instead.

Because Caleb Lockwood would never accept a woman who schemes against him.

"Claire, hold this."

Valerie Vance shoved a bottle of pills into Claire’s palm.

"This was specially prepared by a pharmacist friend of mine, just one tablet is enough, it works gradually."

Claire Shaw clenched the pill bottle, her knuckles turning white.

"Mom doesn’t understand what you’re so afraid of, even if Caleb were to find out, so what? He loves you so much, wouldn’t turning raw rice into cooked rice be a great thing?"

Hearing Valerie’s casual words, Claire Shaw remained silent.

She had never told anyone, including Valerie.

The one Caleb Lockwood truly loved, was Ellie.

"Claire, remember, in life, you must seize opportunities. Currently, Serena’s career is thriving, and it’s been exposed that she’s Caleb’s wife. Regardless of who is behind this, since Lockwood Group has already acknowledged Serena’s status, you’ll have to fight for that position, even if it means using unscrupulous means..."

Listening to Valerie’s guidance, the tears in Claire Shaw’s eyes gradually dried up.

Night, seven o’clock. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Scalinda.

Serena Jennings only took out her phone to search the store when she arrived at its entrance.

Because she noticed this shop was newly opened, it was quite stylish, and it looked far from cheap.

With a search, she found out that this was a three-star Michelin restaurant, a popular venue among the wealthy circle, even for those with money and influence, booking a table was challenging.

Serena stood at the entrance for a long time, hesitating on whether to go in.

The person who invited her was Caleb Lockwood.

But it wasn’t Caleb who invited her directly, it was Mr. Miller who called her.

Mr. Miller said Caleb had something important to discuss with her.

Since it was arranged through Mr. Miller, at first, Serena thought it was a business matter.

But looking at the style of the restaurant now, it seemed more like a personal matter.

For some reason, Serena didn’t feel like having dinner alone with Caleb Lockwood in such a place.

Eventually, Serena arrived ten minutes late, and Caleb was already waiting for her at the table.

Caleb seemed to take this dinner seriously, he had changed his suit from the one he wore at the company during the day, it was still black, but the style, material, and details were much more sophisticated and formal.

In contrast, Serena was the only woman in the restaurant without a formal dress.

Serena walked over and reached out to pull out a chair.

At that moment, Caleb stood up and proactively helped Serena pull out the chair.

Serena sat down, sitting across from Caleb.

"You look beautiful tonight."

Caleb’s opening line left Serena a bit stunned.

She was wearing the same outfit as she did during the day.

During the day, she and Caleb had parted on bad terms, she didn’t understand why Caleb suddenly wanted to invite her to dinner, and in such a manner.

"Why did you ask me here?"

Serena asked directly.

"No rush, let’s eat first, and we can talk while eating."
