First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Coming Out Naked

These days, Serena Jennings was so busy that she felt as if she were running in circles.

She was either rushing to the hospital or commuting between the police station and the courthouse.

As the perpetrator, even though there were reasons behind it, she had indeed injured Laura Sanders quite severely.

Laura had hired a lawyer and was demanding an apology plus compensation from her.

An apology was fine, but Serena refused to compensate.

After all, the cause of the incident was Dylan Quinn harassing her first.

Dylan and Laura had some influence, but not enough to control everything; legally, evidence was still required.

However, the same didn’t hold true on the internet.

Serena had disconnected her internet these days.

She knew full well how viciously she was being cursed online, with unspeakable words. Although part of it was due to internet trolls hired by Laura, idle netizens who didn’t care about the truth also excelled at adding fuel to the fire.

She hadn’t taken leave from the company.

The Lockwood Group’s policy was that being absent for three days could lead to the termination of an employment contract.

She was waiting for Caleb Lockwood to passively fire her.

Since this incident hit the trending topics, Caleb Lockwood seemed to have vanished from her life.

He neither scolded her for being impulsive nor stood up for her, not even sending a single WeChat message.

Serena suspected Caleb was using this way to distance himself from her.

Whether it was Caleb’s own thoughts or those of the Lockwood family, in any case, this time, the family wanted a clean break from her.

After all, previously, when the internet dug up past issues between her and Justin Nash, Nash Group’s stock hit the limit down on that day.

Serena felt quite sorry for Justin Nash; even though they had cut all ties, he still got implicated by her.

Today was already her fifth day of absence, yet there was still no dismissal notice from the HR department.

Feeling restless, Serena took her resignation application to the company in person.

"It’s her, it’s her!"

A group of middle-aged women swarmed towards her, throwing rotten eggs and pebbles at Serena.

Upstairs, Claire Shaw stood in her office by the window, holding a steaming cup of coffee.

With her professional lotus pink outfit and exquisite makeup, she looked every part the successful and privileged woman.

The scene of Serena being pelted with rotten eggs reflected in her eyes, pleasing her view.

After watching for a while, she returned to her seat, picked up her phone, and sent a WeChat message to joker:

You did quite well this time.

Downstairs, Serena removed her outerwear stained with the stinking egg liquid and tossed it directly into the trash bin.

However, it wasn’t easy to clean the dirt from her face and hair; even with wet wipes, it wasn’t enough.

With people bustling around the company, she didn’t want to be ogled in such a sorry state. Just as she turned around, she saw a black Maybach parked by the roadside.

She didn’t know when the car arrived or how long it had been there.

But she knew exactly who was inside.

"Get in the car."

Caleb Lockwood rolled down the window.

At this moment, the last person Serena wanted to see was Caleb Lockwood.

Yet she always seemed to be seen by him at her most miserable.

"I’ll only say it once."

Serena hesitated but heard Caleb start the car engine.

It wasn’t the time for her to insist on saving face; staying here would only attract more onlookers.

Serena got into the car and sat in the passenger seat.

She hung her head, avoiding eye contact with Caleb.

She feared seeing disdain and mockery in his eyes.

"Not afraid of me dirtying your car?"

Serena knew she didn’t smell good at that moment.

"If it gets dirty, I’ll just switch cars."

Caleb replied while driving.

Serena stayed silent.

The car was filled with the stench radiating from her, a smell so foul even she couldn’t stand it, so she opened the window.

"My dad wants us to get a divorce."

The noise of the wind made Caleb’s calm voice unclear.

Serena turned her head, unsure if she had misheard.
