First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: She Wasn’t Wearing Anything

The drunken man’s name is Dylan Quinn, though he wasn’t drunk today, his gaze at Serena Jennings was still so lewd it made her uncomfortable.

No matter what, Serena couldn’t have imagined he would be the first to make the false accusation.

"You were the one harassing me, and that’s why I hit you. Officer, there are surveillance cameras in the club, you can pull them up and see for yourself."

Even after hearing that, Dylan Quinn still crossed his arms smugly, confident in his stance.

"We’ve already watched the surveillance; we didn’t see him molest you, we only saw you kick him."

The officer’s words stunned Serena.

Even if the footage had been tampered with, the police should have been able to investigate and find out.

This only proved the police were in cahoots with Dylan Quinn.

Serena faced detention, and the officers required her to inform her family.

Clutching her phone, Serena’s knuckles turned pale with tension.

Her family...

Her mother had Alzheimer’s and was in a nursing home.

Other than that...

The only one left was Caleb Lockwood.

Serena really didn’t want to inform Caleb Lockwood about her impending detention.

This issue would have a massive impact on her career and reputation.

Even if she wanted to divorce Caleb Lockwood, she couldn’t gamble with her own life.

"Mr. Quinn, I think we can settle last night’s incident privately. How much medical compensation do you want? I’ll pay."

Serena took the initiative to approach Dylan Quinn.

Clearly, it was Dylan Quinn who was being a creep last night — she wasn’t in the wrong.

But the world isn’t just black and white, and Serena couldn’t afford to suffer immediate losses.

If money could solve it, she wouldn’t be stingy.

Dylan Quinn looked Serena up and down, grinned, "Then just buy me a meal, once we’re done, all accounts squared."

That simple?

Serena was suspicious.

The day they reached the settlement, Serena along with Dylan Quinn went to the restaurant specified by him.

It was quite an upscale hotel.

No matter how upscale, Serena was confident she could afford it, so she had no objections to whatever Dylan Quinn ordered.

This meal was not just the two of them; it also included the chief of the Nanning police station.

Serena guessed Dylan Quinn was probably afraid she’d slip away.

Serena could handle her drink, but she wasn’t immune to its effects.

During the meal, Dylan Quinn knocked back quite a few drinks with her, and knowing his intentions weren’t good, she sought to leave before completely losing her senses.

"Hey, pretty girl, the meal isn’t over yet, you can’t leave!"

Dylan Quinn blocked Serena’s path, raising his arm to try and grab her waist.

Feeling hazy, Serena grabbed the bottle from the table and smashed it down hard onto Dylan Quinn’s head.

The hotel suddenly erupted into chaos.

Serena, her head heavy, took the opportunity to run out, her stomach churning, and could not help but squat by the roadside to vomit.

Vomiting, she reached for her phone, intending to call Lana Xavier.

The police were untrustworthy, she could only rely on friends.

However, foggy-headed from vomiting, she unknowingly dialed Caleb Lockwood’s number.

Caleb Lockwood was currently dining with Claire Shaw.

His phone was on vibrate, buzzing incessantly.

"Who is it? Is it work-related?" Claire Shaw asked curiously.

Caleb Lockwood glanced at the phone, a flicker of emotion crossed his eyes.

"Nothing, just a spam call."

Caleb Lockwood hung up the call.

In front of the hotel, Serena saw Lana Xavier wasn’t picking up, she decided to try getting a taxi by herself.

Yet she felt that in her current state, taking a taxi alone wasn’t safe.

Finding a long bench, she sat down, her body slumping to one side, and unknowingly fell asleep.

During this nap, she had an exceptionally chaotic dream.

In the dream, Serena was fighting with someone and being chased.

She ran desperately but couldn’t shake off the pursuer.

When she opened her eyes, she was covered in cold sweat.

Serene was jolted awake from fright.

Memory gaps quickly filled in, Serena remembered she had fallen asleep on an outside bench.

But now she was in a room, lying in a bed.

This wasn’t Lana Xavier’s place.

Nor was it her own home.
