First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Tainted Woman

He just wanted to know if Serena Jennings would feel guilty after mistakenly thinking he had been with another man.

Serena threw the photo of the bed onto Caleb Lockwood’s face and turned to enter the building.

Tears only streamed down after she entered the building.

Back home, Serena’s chaotic emotions gradually calmed down.

Although that photographer took on the task of secretly photographing for money.

And she did indeed pay him a high price of fifty million.

Logically, he wouldn’t expose the photos.

Otherwise, how would he extort money from others through secret photography in the future?

However, not exposing the photos doesn’t mean he won’t keep backups.

After much contemplation, Serena still dialed someone’s number.

"Ellie?"

The voice from the receiver was a man’s, very pleasant, like the clear sound of a spring.

After Serena remained silent, the man changed his address:

"Serena, what’s wrong?"

Only then did Serena begin to make her request.

After listening to Serena’s words, the man didn’t ask a single unnecessary question.

"If you’re tired, rest first. If not, wait for me for half an hour."

Serena chose to wait.

Half an hour later, she received his call.

"I’ve hacked into all his electronic devices, including his phone, computer, and camera. He did keep backups on his home computer. Rest assured, I’ve deleted all of them, and I didn’t look at the contents."

Serena believed the man wasn’t lying.

"Thank you."

"Are you... alright?"

"I’m fine."

"Actually, you could come back..."

Before he could finish, Serena hung up the phone.

The issue with the photos was completely resolved. Although she spent fifty million and owed someone a favor, the matter didn’t escalate, and her reputation wasn’t harmed. Serena believed the money wasn’t wasted.

The problem is...

Dylan Quinn didn’t succeed this time, and she’s unsure if he’ll try to repeat the scheme in the future.

Serena tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, and eventually thought of Caleb Lockwood.

Her heart was not only chaotic but also began to ache. She didn’t want to think about it anymore, so she played a lullaby to force herself to sleep.

The next day, Serena Jennings went to work as usual, while Claire Shaw was still on sick leave.

The office was abuzz with stories about Caleb Lockwood tirelessly caring for Claire Shaw in the hospital.

Serena didn’t care.

But during lunch break, Mr. Miller suddenly came looking for her, inviting her to lunch together.

Seeing Mr. Miller’s serious expression, Serena guessed he wanted to discuss matters not convenient to talk about at the company.

So she chose a restaurant slightly far from the company, with prices ordinary workers couldn’t afford.

"I’m sorry, Miss Jennings."

Mr. Miller solemnly apologized to Serena Jennings.

That night, he was so drunk by Dylan Quinn that he didn’t even know how he got home.

He woke up only the next morning.

Even now, he doesn’t know what happened after that dinner.

Especially between Serena and Dylan Quinn.

Mr. Miller’s self-reproach surprised Serena.

She waved her hand and said, "It’s not your fault..."

"No, it’s my fault for failing to fulfill the responsibility assigned to me by President Lockwood."

"The responsibility given to you by President Lockwood?"

Serena found it amusing.

That night, Caleb Lockwood was preoccupied with worrying about Claire Shaw, even indifferent to drunk driving.

She knew well that Mr. Miller was Caleb Lockwood’s most trusted assistant, so she didn’t badmouth Caleb in front of him.

Since Mr. Miller apologized, she accepted it.

During their meal, Mr. Miller said "sorry" or "apologize" more than ten times. Serena noticed that Mr. Miller was indeed exceptionally responsible.

However, since she chose this expensive restaurant, a meal cost several tens of thousands, and she didn’t want Mr. Miller to spend so much. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
