First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Drowning Sorrows in Drink

Serena’s face carried a faint smile of self-mockery, but inside, her heart twisted in pain.

If she hadn’t mistaken Caleb’s love for her at the time, and had just been moved to tears by the diamond’s size, it would have been better.

Without further explanation, Serena turned and left.

Letting Caleb misunderstand her as coveting his money wasn’t all bad.

"Miss Jennings!"

Suddenly, someone called her from behind. Serena turned her head, surprised and wide-eyed.

The person had blonde hair and blue eyes, dressed in designer clothes, obviously a lady of high status.

Claire had been boasting to her best friend about her pink diamond flower ring when Caleb headed towards the unfamiliar lady.

"President Lowell, it’s been a while. You still look as beautiful as ever."

Caleb proactively greeted Vester Lowell.

"Long time no see, President Lockwood."

Vester Lowell reached out to shake hands with Caleb.

They exchanged a few pleasantries, but Vester Lowell’s attitude towards Caleb was not particularly warm, just basic courtesy.

When Caleb returned to his side, Claire couldn’t help but ask:

"Caleb, who is that lady?"

"Vester Lowell, the only daughter of an oil tycoon, and wife of the domestic real estate giant, CEO of the Li Group."

Claire covered her mouth in shock, not expecting the other party to have such a big background, no wonder Caleb would approach her proactively.

In Caleb’s impression, Vester Lowell was proud, unimpressed by many wealthy and influential figures in the business world.

However, he saw Vester Lowell enthusiastically grab Serena’s hand.

"Miss Jennings, I never expected to meet you here, are you also here to buy jewelry like me?"

Vester Lowell turned her head and immediately spotted the Piano Queen Pendant in a separate display case.

"Oh, I get it, you want that, don’t you?"

Serena couldn’t stop it in time, Vester Lowell had already swiped her card to buy the necklace and personally placed it on Serena’s neck.

The Piano Queen Pendant’s brilliance was blinding.

Watching helplessly as the diamond jewelry she loved and wasn’t qualified to buy, not even Caleb could purchase, now hung around Serena’s neck, Claire gritted her teeth in hatred but had to maintain a facade of serenity.

Serena was completely stunned.

"Mrs. Lowell, this..."

"You haven’t had dinner yet, right? I’ll treat you. What do you like to eat? I know a very delicious place!"

Vester Lowell forcefully pulled Serena into the elevator.

Claire and others left behind exchanged glances.

"It seems... Serena has met quite a few big names since following President Ning!" Claire whispered while sneakily observing Caleb’s reaction.

Caleb’s handsomely unmatched face was cold as ice, indifferent and expressionless.

Not angry, nor looking at Serena with newfound respect.

Claire secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let’s go have dinner!" She linked her arm with Caleb’s.

"Alright." Caleb and Claire walked ahead, his eyes remained cold.

By the time Serena walked out of the mall, it was completely dark outside.

The darker it got, the more dazzling the city lights appeared.

Tonight, she unexpectedly benefited from misfortune.

Vester Lowell was a VIP client of FY black diamonds and a devoted supporter of the piano series.

One of the few who knew Serena as the master designer of the piano series.

Serena had met Vester Lowell three years ago.

Vester Lowell admired the piano series designer immensely, regarding her as an idol.

Because of her good relationship with Peter privately and being a VIP client Peter had to maintain, Peter pleaded with Serena to meet her.
