First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Show Some Respect

"I’m targeting her?"

Serena Jennings glared at Caleb Lockwood, noticing that Caleb slightly turned his face away.

What was Caleb feeling guilty about?

He had been speaking up for Claire for quite some time now.

"If she hadn’t hired someone to ruin my hand first, I wouldn’t have bothered to target her."

After listening to Serena’s words, Caleb put down the water cup and said calmly:

"That was Cynthia Fulton’s doing."

"Do you have evidence proving Claire didn’t participate?"

"Do you have evidence proving she did?"

The living room suddenly fell silent.

Caleb secretly gritted his teeth, feeling a burning pain in his eyes.

Because Serena was staring at him angrily.

Tonight, he came to see Serena, not for Claire.

Claire had come to him, crying, saying Serena tore up her invitation and threw her out like trash.

She claimed Serena wanted to destroy everything of hers.

Caleb knew well that Claire wouldn’t be destroyed by Serena.

As long as he was willing to intervene.

But he hesitated.

Yet, he couldn’t ignore Claire.

Because he promised her that no matter what happens, he would protect her.

Caleb believed that he would never break his word.

Especially not to his Ellie.

The anger in Serena’s eyes gradually subsided, replaced by a layer of frost.

Why was she still angry!

She had experienced Caleb’s favoritism towards Claire countless times, she should have been numb by now.

"Since President Lockwood is so concerned about Claire’s career, why not marry Claire into the Lockwood Family as the mistress of the Lockwood Group! Just letting Claire open a small jewelry design studio while being suppressed by me isn’t that a waste of talent?"

Serena casually mocked.

Indeed, she couldn’t quite understand this.

At least for now, with her overseeing The Jewelers’ Association, Claire wouldn’t gain any advantage.

The Lockwood Group’s business empire is immense, if Claire were formally married, she’d become the mistress of the Lockwood Group and her career would flourish, wouldn’t it?

"After all, didn’t you promise her long ago, that after divorcing me you’d give her a title."

Serena’s casual remark made Caleb’s expression change.

"Did Claire tell you that?"

He grabbed Serena by the hand.

Serena immediately shook off Caleb’s hand.

"Please show some respect."

Serena’s nails scratched Caleb’s fingers, causing a slight pain.

Caleb clenched his hand.

"Done talking now?"

Serena opened the door.

Caleb realized that every time he came to Serena’s place, she’d drive him out.

Cold air rushed into the room, Serena sneezed first.

Caleb walked over, closed the door, and then handed Serena a tissue.

Serena didn’t take it.

"Your snot is almost dripping into your mouth."

Seeing Caleb reaching out, as if to help her wipe her snot, Serena immediately turned her head away, instinctively taking the tissue from Caleb’s hand and blowing her nose.

"It’s too cold outside, and it’s too late. I didn’t drive here..."
