First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Slapping Serena Jennings in the Face

The suits were bought for him by Serena Jennings, from a brand he wasn’t familiar with, made of wool, very classy.

Caleb Lockwood found all six suits bought for him by Serena Jennings, then made a call to Mr. Miller.

Mr. Miller hurried over to The Jade Pavilion, thinking it was an urgent matter for the company, only to find Caleb handing him six suits.

"These clothes are for you, if you don’t like them, you can give them away or throw them out." Caleb’s tone was cold; Mr. Miller felt Caleb was suppressing his rage.

The suits looked like luxury items and seemed unworn, so naturally, Mr. Miller wouldn’t throw them away.

Full of doubt, he finally just said to Caleb, "Thank you, President Lockwood."

After dealing with the annoying suits, Caleb thought he’d feel relieved, but was still anxious enough to want to smoke.

When he was on his third cigarette, he received a call from his father.

Meanwhile, Serena Jennings, at FY, was about to contact Justin Nash, when several black-suited men burst into the conference room.

Serena was taken aback.

She recognized all these men in black suits.

They were the Lockwood family’s bodyguards.

Two hours later, Serena appeared at Arthur Lockwood’s villa.

Arthur Lockwood was Caleb’s father, hence her father-in-law.

In the villa were also her mother-in-law Lilian Young, her second aunt Lucy Warren, and Caleb.

"Serena, I, Lilian Young, must have been blind not to realize you were a snake in the grass!" Lilian slammed her phone on the coffee table in anger.

The phone screen was on, showing a hot search topic about Serena.

"Tell me, with your poor family background, if it wasn’t for you being Caleb’s lifesaver back then, do you think I’d have agreed to let you in?"

"Since you married into the Lockwood family, we’ve given you good food and drinks, without needing you to go out and work, but here you are, not grateful, and daring to cheat, putting a green hat on our Caleb!"

The more Lilian spoke, the angrier she got, pacing around the living room; if not for maintaining her image, she’d have slapped Serena a few times to vent.

"So kids should find a match from families of equal stature. If Caleb had married Claire Shaw back then, wouldn’t this scandal not have happened today?" Lucy chimed in while munching on sunflower seeds.

Though Serena expected criticism from the Lockwood family on her way here, she didn’t expect Caleb to be present, nor Claire to again be used for comparison.

Whatever Lilian and the rest said didn’t really matter to Serena; she just silently watched Caleb, wanting to see his reaction.

But there was none from Caleb.

His cold eyes were as calm as still water, as if it didn’t matter even if she had truly cheated with Justin.

Serena awkwardly averted her gaze, then heard Arthur ask her, "Serena, what’s going on here? Did you really cheat?"

Serena opened and closed her mouth, debating internally how to respond.

She wanted to divorce Caleb, and if she falsely claimed she did, the divorce might actually happen.

But she’d bear the stigma of infidelity forever, which was unfair and to her disadvantage.

Caleb was the one who actually cheated.

Moreover, admitting would negatively impact Justin.

Thinking it over, Serena decided to tell the truth:

"I didn’t cheat; Justin Nash is just a friend. He found a new job, and I wanted to give him a congratulatory gift..."

"Holding hands, yet you call it just friendship?" Lucy interrupted Serena, spitting sunflower seed shells.
