First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Let Big Brother Help You Undress

She was played!

Serena Jennings turned her head to leave, but was stopped by Patrick Rhodes.

"You’re already here, why leave?"

Beside him, the person who lost the bet with Patrick also chimed in.

"That’s right, as soon as you heard Brother Lockwood drank too much, you came running. If I knew you were this spineless, I wouldn’t have bet with Patrick on it."

The one speaking was named Zachary Aldrin, whom Serena wasn’t familiar with.

"I told you, our Brother Lockwood is quite charming! Women are all over him, especially this old hag."

Patrick spoke while casting a look at Serena.

Although the box was dimly lit, Patrick could clearly see the anger on Serena’s face.

Caleb Lockwood, after dining with Claire Shaw, happened to receive a call from Patrick and came to Modern Times together.

Zachary Aldrin knew that Serena and Caleb were going through a divorce, so halfway through drinking, he started making fun of Serena, betting with Patrick that Patrick couldn’t get Serena to come over. The loser would have to drink the entire whiskey tower in front of them.

"Come on, sit down, no one’s forcing you to stand."

Patrick, a bit drunk, grabbed Serena’s arm and pulled her over to the sofa.

Serena forcefully shook off Patrick’s hand.

Patrick clicked his tongue, "You obviously care about Brother Lockwood, so why act all high and mighty? If you’re going to be shameless, you might as well go all the way, right guys?"

The room erupted in laughter.

Caleb Lockwood calmly stubbed out his cigarette and glanced at Serena.

The mix of shame and anger on Serena’s face amused him slightly.

"As you can see, I’m not drunk, so you can leave now."

As Caleb finished speaking, the room burst into laughter again.

"Caleb, don’t chase Serena away!" Claire Shaw tugged at Caleb’s sleeve. "Serena cares so much about you, rushing over from so far... Besides, after all these years of hard work for you, even if not meritorious, she’s put in hard efforts!"

"Look how generous our sister-in-law is!" Patrick praised Claire, then Zachary chimed in:

"Exactly, one is the hostess, the other is a maid. How can they be the same?"

The group was thoroughly entertained mocking Serena, as Caleb took a sip of tequila handed by Claire and nonchalantly told Serena, "Do as you please then!"

The room was filled with laughter and joy, but all Serena could hear was the sound of her dignity being crushed.

She wished she could slap herself.

How could she be so foolish to fall for Patrick’s trick?

Turning around to leave, this time no one stopped her.

Patrick was energetically encouraging Zachary to drink the whiskey tower.

Serena had reached the door of the box but suddenly stopped.

Only Caleb noticed Serena came back.

His gaze casually followed her as she picked up a glass of whiskey and walked over to Patrick.

"A bet’s a bet, drink it up, hurry hurry, if you don’t finish..."

Woosh!

A full glass of whiskey was poured all over Patrick’s face.

The room fell silent.

This was the first time it had been so quiet here tonight.

Patrick wiped his face, staring in shock as Serena turned and strode out of the box.

In the corridor, Serena’s pace quickened.

Though she had splashed Patrick with whiskey, it didn’t make her feel satisfied.

She just wanted to get out of there quickly, but in her rush, she bumped into someone.

"You blind or something?!"

The other party was a middle-aged man, potbellied, with malice in his features, and a stench of alcohol.

Serena immediately apologized, but the man was relentless.

"You think a sorry is enough? My shoulder is bruised from you bumping into me! Such force, I wonder if you’re just as capable in bed!"

Serena didn’t want to entangle with this foul-mouthed drunk.
