Cynthia Fulton turned her head and looked at Claire Shaw coldly.
Riverview Imperial is now the property of the Fulton Family, and tonight’s dinner was hosted by her, to entertain Queen Elizabeth of Ydris.
That top-notch Emperor Crab from the Bering Sea cost her a lot, just to please Queen Elizabeth and increase investment in the undersea tunnel.
In the end, it wasn’t a professional who came to dismantle the crab, but Serena Jennings.
The most crucial point was, there were no prepared tools for dismantling.
Cynthia Fulton wasn’t stupid; this arrangement was definitely Claire Shaw’s doing.
On dealing with Serena Jennings, she and Claire Shaw were on a unified front, after all, an enemy’s enemy is a friend.
But she didn’t trust Claire Shaw.
If not for leaning on Caleb Lockwood, with the Shaw family’s background, she wouldn’t even deserve to share a table with her.
Claire Shaw pretended not to notice the icy gaze Cynthia Fulton directed at her, her smile was like an unremovable mask.
Indeed, it was she who had the manager arrange for Serena Jennings to dismantle the crab.
It was also she who secretly told the kitchen to remove all the crab dismantling tools.
Even if Serena Jennings turned to ask the kitchen now, they would tell her the tools couldn’t be found.
Claire Shaw just wanted to make things difficult for Serena Jennings, to see Serena make a fool of herself.
Anyway, even if Serena annoyed Queen Elizabeth, Queen Elizabeth would only take it out on Cynthia Fulton.
Seeing Serena standing stunned at the table, Caleb Lockwood stood up.
"Let me do it!"
Caleb Lockwood’s words shocked Claire Shaw to the core.
Is Caleb Lockwood feeling sorry for Serena again?
"As the only male here, it’s my duty to dismantle the crab."
Caleb Lockwood spoke softly, with gentlemanly manners.
Queen Elizabeth couldn’t help but applaud.
"No wonder President Lockwood, such gentlemanly grace!"
Caleb Lockwood held the dining knife, with his strength, even with a dining knife, he could dismantle the crab.
"There’s no need to trouble yourself."
Serena looked at Caleb Lockwood and made a formal gesture of "please."
"Sir, please have a seat."
Caleb Lockwood’s gaze turned cold, and he softly said:
"Don’t be stubborn."
Queen Elizabeth silently watched, her gaze becoming increasingly intrigued.
She always felt that Caleb Lockwood seemed to know this female server.
Serena gave Caleb Lockwood a calm and confident smile.
Caleb Lockwood sighed lightly and handed the dining knife to Serena.
Serena didn’t take it.
Caleb Lockwood had no choice but to sit down, his brows still furrowed.
Serena’s gaze moved from Caleb Lockwood to Claire Shaw.
She understood that it was Claire Shaw who was setting her up.
Because Cynthia Fulton, as the host, wouldn’t make a joke of this dinner.
Claire Shaw rested her cheek on her hand, waiting to see the show.
She just wanted to see how Serena would dismantle the crab barehanded.
Serena turned to face Queen Elizabeth and borrowed two dining knives, one of which was a very sharp steak knife, speaking fluently in a foreign language.
"You can speak our Ydris language, how impressive."
Queen Elizabeth was thrilled.
The native language of Ydris is actually quite niche, usually they speak English abroad.
Caleb Lockwood, Claire Shaw, and Cynthia Fulton looked at Serena with eyes full of amazement.
Especially Caleb Lockwood.
Claire Shaw, sitting beside Caleb Lockwood, couldn’t ignore the surprise in his eyes.
"Miss Fulton has been thoughtful, even training the staff in Ydris language."
After Claire Shaw spoke, Queen Elizabeth suddenly realized.
"So that’s it, Miss Fulton has put in effort."
