First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Internet Trolls Found Her Current Address

"President Lockwood..."

Mr. Miller handed a document to Caleb Lockwood.

"Those photos circulating online were taken by a tabloid photographer. He must have had his eyes on Miss Jennings for a while..."

While saying this, Mr. Miller kept sneaking glances at Caleb Lockwood’s reaction.

Caleb Lockwood didn’t react.

So Mr. Miller had to make it clearer.

"Do you want to suppress this matter?"

"Why?"

Caleb Lockwood finally lifted his gaze.

Mr. Miller felt as if he was being pricked by needles under Caleb Lockwood’s sharp eyes.

"Serena Jennings has nothing to do with me now."

Caleb Lockwood’s voice was indifferent; any colder, it would be ruthless.

Mr. Miller opened his mouth, inhaling some cold air.

Caleb Lockwood and Serena Jennings had completed their divorce procedures in Meridia, but the divorce certificate had not been consular certified upon their return home.

In other words, that divorce certificate was not effective in City A.

Seeing Mr. Miller hesitant to speak, Caleb Lockwood let out a cold laugh.

"Even if it needs to be suppressed, it’s not for me to intervene. Isn’t Justin Nash still around? Didn’t he run away from his own wedding for Serena Jennings?"

Mr. Miller felt that Caleb Lockwood’s words sounded more like mockery than a question.

"President Lockwood, now the entire internet knows you’ve divorced Miss Jennings."

"Hmm..."

Caleb Lockwood nodded, without further comment.

He knew that when Serena Jennings was exposed for having complicated male relations and branded as cheating within the marriage, Arthur Lockwood seized the opportunity to fan the flames from behind, publicly severing ties with Serena to gain attention and good reviews, thus driving up the stock price.

Seeing that Mr. Miller hadn’t left yet and was stammering, Caleb Lockwood proactively asked:

"Anything else?"

"It’s just... if President Lockwood needs, I can make another trip to Meridia to get that divorce..."

"Mr. Miller..."

Before Mr. Miller could finish, Caleb Lockwood coldly interrupted him.

"Do you know why I hired you as my assistant?"

This abrupt question left Mr. Miller dumbfounded.

Seeing Mr. Miller shake his head, Caleb Lockwood answered blandly:

"Because you’re smart and have strong comprehension skills."

"Thank you for your compliment, President Lockwood..."

"So, don’t ask foolish questions."

Only after hearing this did Mr. Miller understand the deeper meaning behind Caleb Lockwood’s words.

"I’m sorry, President Lockwood, I spoke out of turn."

Mr. Miller apologized respectfully and then left Caleb Lockwood’s office.

Caleb Lockwood picked up his phone buried in the documents; the screen was lit up, filled with netizens’ curses towards Serena Jennings.

Caleb Lockwood stared at the phone, the bright screen only made his eyes seem darker, like an abyss.

Serena Jennings, following Peter’s advice, hadn’t left her house all day.

She finally understood what it meant for trouble to come raining down on an already leaking house.

Even though she hadn’t left home, she’d managed quite some work.

First was the breach of contract.

Her personal jewelry brand J Jewelry had signed many orders and collaborations, all thanks to Radiance’s coverage of her outstanding performance at the LD Jewelry Fashion Week, and later the revelation that she was married to Caleb Lockwood.

In one night, her reputation was in ruins, she was insulted online and branded a fallen woman, with previous collaborators rescinding their contracts and demanding high breach fees, claiming she had damaged the brand’s reputation.

Every single one of them.

Serena Jennings paid until she felt exhausted, and her liquidity began to dry up.

Next was the withdrawal of investment.

Serena admitted she never expected that investor Matthew Lowell, who approached her initially, was actually Justin Nash’s subordinate.
