First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176: Chapter 176: He Is My Ex-Husband

"What do you know?!"

Claire turned her head and shouted at Serena, her voice sounding hoarse.

"Oh, I get it... It’s all your fault!"

Suddenly, she angrily pointed at Serena.

"It must have been your violent crab cracking just now that caused the diamond to fall off the crown, it’s all your fault, and you have to pay for this loss!"

Claire’s argument seemed convincing, but everyone present knew she was evading responsibility.

No matter how much shaking happened when Serena was cracking the crab, it wouldn’t have affected the crown in Queen Elizabeth’s hands.

Queen Elizabeth looked at the flustered and exasperated Claire with disappointment in her eyes.

As the queen, she wouldn’t trouble an innocent waitress.

"Let it go..."

"Fine, I’ll pay."

Serena suddenly agreed.

Both Queen Elizabeth and Cynthia Fulton were taken aback.

Claire sneered, "You? How are you going to pay? With your three-thousand-a-month salary?"

After she said it off the cuff, Claire felt a bit regretful; she shouldn’t have been so harsh.

But since Caleb Lockwood wasn’t in the room at the moment, it didn’t really matter.

"I can fix it."

Serena’s words surprised none more than Queen Elizabeth.

"You can repair jewelry? But aren’t you a chef?"

Serena couldn’t help but laugh.

Just for cracking a crab, she’s considered a chef.

"Chef is my part-time job, my main occupation is jewelry design."

"What a joke!"

Claire widened her eyes.

She couldn’t tolerate Serena taking away her project.

"This is the queen’s crown, do you think just anyone can touch it?!"

Claire’s petty intentions were clear to Serena.

She shrugged her shoulders.

"Indeed! Anyone could make a diamond fall from the queen’s crown, not just anyone can do that."

"You!"

Claire was so furious at Serena’s retort that her face turned red.

"Let her try!"

Beside them, Cynthia couldn’t help but speak up.

She was aware of Serena’s craftsmanship, and the priority now was to satisfy Queen Elizabeth.

Serena turned her head and glanced at Cynthia.

"What, aren’t you afraid I’ll turn the crown into a fake?"

Cynthia knew Serena was mocking her for the false accusation of Serena’s wedding jewelry set being counterfeit.

Queen Elizabeth, having taken a liking to Serena as she watched her crack the crab earlier, naturally wanted to give Serena a chance since she offered to repair the crown.

Cynthia immediately arranged for someone to prepare tools, turning the dining table into a makeshift workbench.

Serena began to repair the crown in front of Queen Elizabeth, Cynthia, and Claire.

When Caleb Lockwood walked into the room, he momentarily thought he’d walked into the wrong place.

Seeing Serena engrossed in her meticulous work, he roughly guessed what had happened.

Seeing Caleb return, Claire immediately sidled up to him and whispered:

"Serena was too rough while cracking the crab, causing the diamond to fall off the crown, and the queen is having her fix it!"

After Claire finished, she saw Caleb frown.

That’s right... She wanted Caleb to have a strong dislike for Serena.

Caleb frowned and walked over to Serena.

Even though Caleb moved silently, Serena still sensed someone approaching her.

She just hadn’t expected it to be Caleb.

"Is there something you need?"

Serena turned her head, meeting Caleb’s gaze.

Caleb’s dark eyes were always as cold as the sea in a winter night.

How cold?

She remembered it clearly from the time she jumped into the sea.

Caleb didn’t speak immediately.

He just stared at her.
