First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Saving Caleb Lockwood’s Life

Serena was speechless at the message, feeling that working by Caleb Lockwood’s side wasn’t easy for Mr. Miller.

"When my company grows bigger and stronger, should I try to headhunt Mr. Miller as my assistant?"

The thought suddenly crossed Serena’s mind.

But considering the salary Caleb was paying Mr. Miller, she felt that she couldn’t afford it at this stage.

Originally, Serena had no intention of attending the Lockwood Group’s centennial celebration, even though Caleb had informed her in advance.

This was why she didn’t want to accept any shares of the Lockwood Group before the divorce, no matter what.

Once she became a shareholder, there would inevitably be entanglements with the Lockwood Group.

Considering Mr. Miller’s job security, Serena gathered her things and headed downstairs.

Downstairs, the emperor blue Bentley was eye-catching, like a starry sapphire, even under the deep night sky.

Serena paused in astonishment.

But soon she felt it was reasonable for Mr. Miller to be driving Caleb’s car.

After all, Mr. Miller often served as Caleb’s driver.

"Sorry for making you come all this way, Mr. Miller."

Serena opened the passenger door, got in the car, and turned her head to see her "driver" in the driver’s seat—

"Caleb Lockwood?"

Serena was shocked.

Caleb glanced at her coolly and said blandly, "Buckle up."

"Oh... okay..."

While buckling her seatbelt, Serena was puzzled.

She distinctly remembered Caleb saying in the message that he sent Mr. Miller to pick her up, so why did Caleb himself come?

After all, tonight was the Lockwood Group’s centennial celebration, and Caleb, instead of overseeing the event, personally came to be her driver?

This just didn’t make sense!

And although she was a shareholder of the Lockwood Group now, she held no significant position for the group.

No matter how she thought about it, Serena couldn’t understand why Caleb personally came to pick her up.

Could it simply be that he wanted to see her again?

Serena shrugged with a smile.

They hadn’t been driving long when suddenly someone dashed out from the side. Fortunately, Caleb braked in time.

However, the person fell to the ground with a thud.

Serena’s eyes widened.

Was this... a staged accident?

Caleb frowned and got out of the car almost simultaneously with Serena.

Standing at the front of the car, Serena spoke first:

"Are you okay? I felt like we didn’t hit you..."

As Serena bent down to check the person’s condition, the person suddenly pulled a knife from their pocket and stabbed it into Caleb’s abdomen, who was shielding Serena.

"Caleb!"

Serena used all her strength to support the collapsing Caleb.

A massive amount of blood flowed from the wound, staining Caleb’s and Serena’s clothes red.

Caleb was in so much pain that he broke into a sweat, his consciousness gradually fading.

"Caleb, Caleb, hang in there!"

Serena couldn’t be bothered about the assailant getting away; right now, saving Caleb’s life was the priority.

She pressed hard on the wound to stop the bleeding, then called 911.

The dispatcher told her ambulances were dispatched, but only one could make it over, and it would take about 15 minutes due to roadwork causing massive traffic.

Serena hung up the phone, quickly put Caleb into the car, and drove his Bentley at lightning speed to the nearest hospital.

The Lockwood Group’s grand hall.

From the Lockwood family onwards, other guests began to notice something was amiss.

Where did Caleb go?

Tonight was the Lockwood Group’s centennial celebration; Caleb was there earlier, yet he vanished, and it’s been a while.
