First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Why Lie

Suddenly, the expression on Arthur’s face fell.

He thought he wouldn’t see Caleb at Cloud Heights.

It turned out Caleb was there on a date with Serena!

Lilian’s face wasn’t any better than Arthur’s when she saw Caleb with Serena.

They were Caleb’s parents, yet they never knew Caleb and Serena hadn’t actually divorced.

So, wasn’t this whole situation a joke?

Is marriage and divorce something to be joked about?

Originally, whether Lilian or Arthur, they didn’t exactly prefer Serena, but at least they were satisfied with her as a daughter-in-law.

The prerequisite was that Serena remained home as a full-time wife, taking care of the household and educating the children.

But now, Serena was like a socialite in the business world, and neither Arthur nor Lilian viewed Serena as their daughter-in-law anymore.

However, Caleb and Serena hadn’t divorced.

That day at the board meeting, Arthur thought Caleb’s statement was just a delay tactic. Later, when he asked Caleb, he found out that Caleb and Serena had never divorced.

Arthur nearly fainted on the spot.

If Caleb hadn’t divorced, that meant Caleb was going to a matchmaking meeting with Wendy Linton while still being married.

If this got to the Lintons, marriage wouldn’t just be off the table; they probably couldn’t even do business together.

Regarding the transnational cooperation on the new energy railway project alone, Arthur knew there were dozens of large companies contacting the Lintons, including the Nash Group that had long been at odds with The Lockwood Family.

Arthur, regardless of what’s going on between Caleb and Serena, must get the new energy railway project.

Tonight’s dinner was arranged intentionally to win over The Linton Family.

Originally, he planned for Caleb to personally explain the situation with Serena to Aaron. However, Caleb stood him up.

Caleb’s and Arthur’s gazes met.

Both had dissatisfaction with each other reflected in their eyes.

Although Caleb knew Arthur wanted to invite The Linton Family for dinner and make amends, he never expected Arthur to choose Cloud Heights.

"Caleb, come over here quickly!"

In front of The Linton Family, Arthur wouldn’t say much, but his face and tone already revealed naked threats to Caleb.

"Caleb, what are you waiting for? You were already late..." Lilian tried to smooth things over.

Aaron remained expressionless across from them.

He already knew Caleb had no intention of attending this dinner.

Aaron’s impression of Caleb wasn’t exactly bad, but certainly not good either. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Because of Caleb and Serena’s relationship.

Seeing Caleb standing motionless, Aaron smiled and said, "Why doesn’t Miss Jennings join us for dinner?"

"Yes, yes, Miss Jennings should join us!"

Jade immediately beckoned Serena over.

Since seeing these five people, Serena hadn’t looked pleased.

She originally wanted to leave, but Caleb grabbed her hand.

Her instinctive action was to shake off Caleb’s hold, but Caleb’s grip was tight yet seemingly mindful not to hurt her, fearing she’d shake him off while consciously controlling his strength.

Thus, Caleb led Serena to the table of Arthur and the others.

"Minister Linton, Mrs. Linton, Miss Linton..."

Aaron inadvertently studied Caleb and Serena.

The two standing together truly appeared as a perfect match.

"Let me formally introduce, this is my wife, Serena."

Caleb’s definitive introduction instantly brought everyone back to the Victoria Royal Cruise’s charity auction.

At that auction, Caleb also introduced Serena as his wife.

Not his ex-wife.

The ones who kept adding fuel to the fire with explanations were Arthur and Lilian.
