First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Bringing Humiliation Upon Oneself

Serena Jennings never expected her reunion with Justin Nash to happen in such a setting.

Justin Nash seemed equally surprised to see her.

Time had passed, and Justin Nash’s once youthful face had grown more mature, exuding a robust masculinity.

Particularly in a suit, his entire demeanor and aura had transformed from a fresh college graduate to a dominating figure in the business world.

"Justin, do you know this lady?"

Cynthia Fulton asked Justin Nash.

Justin Nash’s gaze remained fixed on Serena Jennings, his lips parting slightly as if hesitating over his words, not immediately answering the question.

It was Peter who introduced Serena Jennings to Cynthia Fulton.

"Miss Fulton, this is Serena Jennings, my girlfriend."

Serena Jennings stared wide-eyed at Peter, her look clearly questioning why Peter would introduce her as his girlfriend to everyone.

Justin Nash, trying hard to maintain composure, could not help but change expressions.

Just days ago, Matthew Lowell had hinted to him that Serena Jennings was already married, and her husband was Caleb Lockwood.

It suggested that Serena Jennings and Caleb Lockwood had not divorced yet.

So, what was going on with Peter now?

Justin Nash silently clenched his fists, wanting to ask but unable to.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Peter casually added, "I’m just kidding, she’s my friend."

Cynthia Fulton glanced at Justin Nash beside her, sensing a wave of relief in him after Peter’s words.

"Justin, aren’t you going to introduce me?"

Prompted by Cynthia Fulton, Justin Nash finally spoke: "This is Cynthia Fulton...my fiancée."

The word "fiancée" shocked Serena Jennings.

However, she quickly realized her reaction was overdone.

Given Justin Nash’s family background, finding a well-matched fiancée made perfect sense.

Justin Nash observed Serena Jennings’ expression.

The surprise on Serena Jennings’ face lasted only a moment.

Other than surprise, there was nothing else, disappointing him as his expectations crumbled.

Meanwhile, Caleb Lockwood was also watching Serena Jennings.

Claire Shaw’s palms were sweating with anxiety.

She could tell that both Peter and Justin Nash had some interest in Serena Jennings.

Although Caleb Lockwood did not like Serena Jennings, men naturally have a competitive streak, and she feared Serena Jennings having new suitors might spark Caleb Lockwood’s possessiveness.

However...

Caleb Lockwood’s dark eyes were as calm as a winter night’s sea, revealing nothing.

Claire Shaw breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Over there, Serena Jennings and Peter continued chatting with Justin Nash and Cynthia Fulton, while Caleb Lockwood had already started walking.

"Weren’t we going to dance?"

Claire Shaw’s attention was drawn by Caleb Lockwood’s voice.

Caleb Lockwood bent his arm, signaling her to take it.

Claire Shaw, in high spirits, took Caleb Lockwood’s arm and headed to the dance floor.

It seemed she was worrying unnecessarily, as Caleb Lockwood truly had no interest in Serena Jennings.

Both Claire Shaw and Caleb Lockwood danced gracefully and magnificently, quickly becoming the center of attention.

"Is that President Lockwood’s girlfriend?"

"I heard President Lockwood is pursuing her."

"She’s pretty and dances well."

"Her background seems good too; she went to high school with President Lockwood and is now a jewelry designer. Even Ronan Ross is impressed with her design philosophy; you know how rare it is for Ronan Ross to praise newcomers. Miss Shaw is truly remarkable."

"A perfect match, made in heaven, talented and beautiful!"

Serena Jennings listened silently to these gossipers, her makeup failing to cover her pallor.

Ultimately, she couldn’t compete with Claire Shaw in love.

Nor in career.
