First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Not Divorced

Serena Jennings stood dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.

What did Caleb Lockwood just say?

Her shares were considered marital property, meaning Caleb Lockwood had a share?

Serena was almost about to retort publicly that she and Caleb Lockwood had divorced long ago.

Yet Caleb Lockwood, being directly involved, couldn’t possibly be unaware of it.

If he knew and still said this...

A chill crept up from the soles of Serena’s feet.

Could it be...

A possibility surfaced in her mind, and Serena shook her head forcefully.

Instead of overthinking, she should get a clear answer.

"Caleb Lockwood..."

Serena stared straight at Caleb Lockwood, enunciating each word, "We are already divorced."

"Are you sure?"

Caleb Lockwood smiled.

For the first time, Serena found Caleb Lockwood’s natural smile infuriating.

"What exactly do you mean by that?"

Serena was getting a bit fired up by Caleb Lockwood’s ambiguous attitude.

"Literal meaning..."

Caleb Lockwood’s words remained ambiguous, just scratching the surface.

Serena’s heart was in turmoil, like a tangled mess.

All the board members were watching her.

If...

She truly hadn’t divorced Caleb Lockwood, then her shares were marital property, meaning she wouldn’t have the unilateral right to exercise the company’s charter as the largest shareholder.

This board meeting couldn’t go on, and Serena was the first to burst out of the meeting room.

She left The Lockwood Group at top speed, driving to the civil affairs bureau.

"Impossible... It’s impossible..."

Serena muttered to herself as she drove.

It couldn’t be that she and Caleb Lockwood were still not divorced!

No matter how Serena thought, she found the situation absurd.

The one who suggested going abroad for divorce procedures was Caleb Lockwood.

They also smoothly obtained the divorce certificate.

Moreover, both The Lockwood Group and Caleb Lockwood himself publicly acknowledged their divorce.

"So why did Caleb Lockwood say that?"

While waiting at the traffic light, Serena couldn’t help but mutter to herself again.

Was it to buy time, giving the Lockwood board members some leeway?

The signal changed, and Serena had to stop thinking temporarily and focus on driving.

Behind the white BMW 3 Series, separated by three cars, was a royal blue Bentley.

Caleb Lockwood was in the driver’s seat, silently following her.

His chiseled face showed little expression, but deep in his eyes, complex emotions surged continuously.

There was some distance between The Lockwood Group and the civil affairs bureau, but driving there wasn’t too far.

Serena parked her car and walked briskly into the civil affairs bureau.

"Hello, I’d like to check my marital status."

The staff was momentarily stunned by Serena’s words but didn’t say much, just asking Serena to wait a bit.

Outside the civil affairs bureau, Caleb Lockwood sat in the royal blue Bentley.

He didn’t park the car at the entrance of the civil affairs bureau but across the street.

From this angle, he could clearly see Serena entering and exiting the bureau, but Serena might not notice him.

Caleb Lockwood waited for a long time, his eyes lit up.

He finally saw Serena coming out of the civil affairs bureau, looking furious.

Caleb Lockwood was about to get out of the car when a white Lexus appeared, halting his movement.

He saw Ethan White get out of the car, walk over to Serena’s side, and put his arm around Serena’s shoulder.

Caleb Lockwood’s hand clenched tightly on the steering wheel.

Outside the civil affairs bureau, Ethan White embraced Serena and led her into a nearly empty coffee shop.

Serena had mostly explained the situation to him over the phone, so Ethan White was just a quiet listener now, listening to Serena vent her frustrations.

Ethan White himself felt troubled.
