First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Wife-Pampering Maniac

Serena looked wide-eyed as Lana Xavier shrugged helplessly.

"I might come off as loose and carefree, but I’m not stupid... did Ethan White’s mom just let you go without some perks?"

Mentioning this matter made Lana Xavier furious.

"Ethan White’s car accident was never your fault. You weren’t even the driver; why should you pay for the medical expenses!"

The more Lana thought about it, the angrier she got, unable to hold back her indignation for Serena.

"You didn’t tell me, so I don’t know how much you paid for Ethan White’s medical bills, but knowing you, it’s definitely not a small amount, five thousand, maybe ten thousand... Surely they can let go of the medical bills given your situation! Ethan White’s family isn’t short on money..."

Lana thought her words were reasonable.

Serena smiled silently.

In fact, the medical bills she paid for Ethan White were not at all as low as tens of thousands.

But a yearly ten million.

If it weren’t for FY’s dividends, she wouldn’t be able to afford such an amount.

Just before she went to Meridia, Ethan White’s mother contacted her, demanding the medical bills be increased to twenty million annually, paid twice a year.

So in these few days, she had to send another ten million to Ethan White’s mom.

Such being the case, her studio had no option but to file for bankruptcy.

Serena didn’t talk much about Ethan White, knowing Lana Xavier didn’t want to talk about it, she changed the subject, eventually leading to cursing Caleb Lockwood.

The next morning, Serena and Lana slept in until late morning, both sleeping on the floor, fortunately with underfloor heating to avoid a cold.

Lana took a day off to accompany Serena to relax.

Being cooped up indoors would definitely drive anyone crazy.

Serena, however, felt that the current situation required handling serious matters first.

So, accompanied by Lana, she went to the court first.

As it turned out, before she could file for bankruptcy voluntarily, the bank had already applied for a compulsory liquidation in court.

By the time she and Lana reached the company, the bank’s collecting manager had already brought a notary to inventory the assets in her studio.

"Well, look at who it is!"

A snide voice suddenly sounded behind them.

Serena and Lana turned their heads simultaneously to see Claire Shaw, accompanied by Lily Sutton and Owen Warren, walking over with an arrogant demeanor.

Compared to the thin and pale Serena, Claire Shaw looked vibrant and glowing.

"Isn’t this Serena Jennings, the global top fashion magazine ’Radiance’ designer! Why is the studio... sealed up?"

"Exactly! Serena is so talented; having affairs during marriage and seducing a few men isn’t much, how did it lead to bankruptcy and forced liquidation?"

Lily Sutton and Owen Warren echoed sarcastically.

"Where are those big shots you slept with? Why isn’t anyone helping you now?"

If Serena hadn’t held Lana back, Lana would’ve rushed to slap Lily Sutton and Owen Warren across their faces.

"Senior!"

Claire Shaw approached the collection manager.

"I didn’t expect to meet you here."

Quincy Aldrin brightened upon seeing Claire Shaw.

He was a year ahead of Claire Shaw in junior high.

Serena watched Claire Shaw cozy up to Quincy Aldrin and speculated Claire was eyeing something from her studio.

As expected, Quincy Aldrin liquidated everything but handed a complete set of Serena’s design drawings to Claire Shaw.

"Those drawings can’t be given to her."

Serena argued, "They are intangible assets that can be evaluated and auctioned."

"Hehe!" Quincy Aldrin sneered and unceremoniously pushed Serena aside.

"Who do you think you are? Already bankrupt and still acting like the boss? Let me tell you, everything in your studio belongs to our bank. If I say it can be given away, it can be given away."

Quincy Aldrin glared at Serena with malice, then turned to smile at Claire Shaw.

"Here, take them, even selling them as scrap paper is fine."

Claire Shaw cooed thanks to Quincy Aldrin, shoving all of Serena’s finished and half-finished design drawings into her briefcase.

Ultimately, Serena’s studio completely went bankrupt and was sealed by the court.
