First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Accomplice

Maybe... this new mine tender itself is a trap—

A trap Serena dug for Claire.

Even though Caleb had already reached this conclusion, he never told anyone.

The result was—

This possibility became reality.

Caleb shut his eyes tightly, his brows twisted in anguish.

This wasn’t the pain caused by his stomach.

It was the agony of realizing he had become Serena’s accomplice in ruining Claire.

But in Serena’s eyes, he had always been Claire’s accomplice.

Caleb curled up in pain, sweat trickling down his high nose bridge.

However...

The woman who used to decoct herbs for him on time and carried him down eight flights of stairs when he had stomach pain—

was no longer by his side.

Would never care for him again.

Caleb suddenly felt that maybe he should just let the pain kill him.

After Serena left the Lockwood Group, she drove to Country C.

Although she didn’t want to go, in order to completely ruin Claire, she sought help through Chance Bell from two people she thought she’d never contact again.

Aaron Linton and Jade Shaw were waiting for Serena at the restaurant.

Upon seeing Serena appear safely before them, Jade couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Back then, Aaron and Jade had heard about Serena’s disappearance and subsequent hospital stay, and wanted to visit her immediately.

However, Serena told them through Chance Bell that she didn’t want to see them.

Ultimately, for the sake of Serena’s recovery, Aaron and Jade did not show up but learned of Serena’s condition through Chance Bell.

When they found out Serena needed their help, they were ecstatic.

Because what they feared most was Serena cutting ties with them forever, never to communicate until death.

If possible, Serena wouldn’t want to ask Aaron and Jade for help at all.

But to lure Claire in, the credibility of the Country C government was indispensable.

And The Linton Family was synonymous with the Country C government.

Serena sat across from Aaron and Jade.

Jade used a tissue to wipe away tears of joy from the corner of her eyes.

Serena knew Jade wasn’t pretending or being fake.

But late-arriving family ties were no better than dirt.

Back then, when she was framed and thrown into the juvenile detention center, even if Jade and Aaron weren’t the instigators, they were accomplices.

Later, she was forced to become Serena, also instigated by these two people.

When Chloe could no longer live as Chloe and had to accept becoming Serena, she no longer wanted to see these two people.

She thought they wouldn’t want to see her either.

At least until the day of their reunion, they had never appeared in her life.

Now pretending to miss her deeply, Serena merely felt disgusted.

Still, Serena obediently dined with Aaron and Jade, listening to them endlessly talk about the recent affairs of The Linton Family.

Initially, she didn’t want to be involved with The Linton Family or with Aaron and Jade anymore.

But if one meal could lead to Claire’s bankruptcy, why not?

"By the way, Ellie..." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Please call me Serena."

Serena raised her head and glanced at Jade indifferently.

Jade appeared embarrassed.

Serena’s expression was too aloof, causing her heart to ache.

But she had no right to blame Serena.

Because the emotional wounds Serena suffered would only be deeper and more painful.

"Serena..."

Jade corrected herself.

"About your ex-husband Caleb Lockwood... what kind of person is he really?"

Serena’s grip on the knife and fork tightened.
