First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Mistress and Paramour

Patrick Rhodes originally wanted to retort with "Who are you?", but seeing the other person’s exceptional attire, he dared not speak carelessly.

Lilian Young saw that this lady was also unfamiliar and took the initiative to ask, "May I ask who you are..."

"I am Faye Finch, the owner of The Wellness Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Claire Shaw’s expression instantly changed, but with so many people around, she dared not show any signs of guilt.

"All the supplements from The Wellness Pavilion are my proprietary formula and aren’t sold to just anyone. In the past month, I’ve only sold them to Serena Jennings."

Upon hearing Serena Jennings’ name, Lilian Young was the most surprised one.

Caleb Lockwood’s chiseled face, however, revealed little emotion.

"Serena Jennings said a friend’s mother was hospitalized due to a fright and needed some calming, health-boosting supplements. I didn’t expect it was referring to Mrs. Lockwood."

The mention of "a friend" by Faye Finch stirred waves in Caleb Lockwood’s deep eyes.

His grip on the wine glass tightened.

Lilian Young forced a smile, "Those supplements are indeed effective, truly living up to the reputation of a global brand."

At this moment, Arthur Lockwood came over, proudly saying, "Ms. Finch, Serena is our Lockwood family daughter-in-law, she is so filial."

Only when they heard this from Mr. Lockwood did Caleb Lockwood’s high school classmates realize he was already married.

"Eh?" Faye Finch raised an eyebrow, "Then is this Miss Shaw the mistress President Lockwood found outside?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s gaze at Claire Shaw immediately turned strange.

Claire Shaw tried her best to remain calm, her palms painfully clawed by her own nails.

"Ms. Finch’s words are rather harsh." Caleb Lockwood coldly explained, "Claire is my high school classmate."

Seeing Caleb Lockwood speak up for her, Claire Shaw’s smile regained some confidence.

"I’m sorry, that was a misunderstanding on my part." Faye Finch apologized verbally, but her face showed no sign of regret, "Mainly because, in my understanding, married men shouldn’t be overly intimate with other women, so it’s not my fault for misunderstanding."

Caleb Lockwood opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Arthur Lockwood took over the conversation, "Ms. Finch is right, it’s all Caleb’s lack of propriety, it’s my failure in teaching him right."

Although Faye Finch is just a nutritionist, her family background is quite extraordinary, and she is well-connected in the business circle. Arthur Lockwood considered it a great fortune to have invited Faye Finch today.

Faye Finch originally did not want to come.

But knowing Serena Jennings was the Lockwood family’s daughter-in-law, she thought she might see Serena there.

Serena Jennings was quite surprised to see Faye Finch at The Lockwood Estate.

She was about to leave, but seeing Faye Finch made her stay a little longer.

After perfunctorily talking to Arthur Lockwood, Faye Finch immediately went over to find Serena Jennings.

The two of them walked to a spot away from the party for a private conversation, and from an outsider’s perspective, they seemed very familiar with each other.

"Are you really not planning to go back to see your parents? They said they miss you." Faye Finch advised earnestly, a stark contrast to her earlier confrontation with Caleb Lockwood.

Serena Jennings’ expression was colder than ever.

She was silent for a long time, then gave a mocking smile.

"I have only one mother, and she is in a nursing home that I often visit."

Faye Finch hesitated before changing the subject.

"That Caleb Lockwood..."

"I’m filing for divorce with him."

Noticing Serena Jennings didn’t want to discuss Caleb Lockwood further, Faye Finch gave Serena’s shoulder a pat, like a caring elder.

Since realizing Faye Finch knew Serena Jennings, Claire Shaw noticed the frequency and length of Caleb Lockwood’s gazes toward Serena Jennings increased.
