25 Chapter 25: pping Serena Jennings in the Face
The suits were bought for him by Serena Jennings, from a brand he wasn’t familiar with, made of wool, very
ssy.1
Caleb Lockwood found all six suits bought for him by Serena Jennings, then made a call to Mr. Miller.
Mr. Miller hurried over to The Jade Pavilion, thinking it was an urgent matter for thepany, only to find
Caleb handing him six suits.
“These clothes are for you, if you don’t like them, you can give them away or throw them out.” Caleb’s tone
was cold; Mr. Miller felt Caleb was suppressing his rage.
The suits looked like luxury items and seemed unworn, so naturally, Mr. Miller wouldn’t throw them away.
Full of doubt, he finally just said to Caleb, “Thank you, President Lockwood.”
After dealing with the annoying suits, Caleb thought he’d feel relieved, but was still anxious enough to want
to smoke.
When he was on his third cigarette, he received a call from his father.
Meanwhile, Serena Jennings, at FY, was about to contact Justin Nash, when several ck–suited men burst
into the conference room.
Serena was taken aback.
She recognized all these men in ck suits.
They were the Lockwood family’s bodyguards.
Two hourster, Serena appeared at Arthur Lockwood’s vi.
Arthur Lockwood was Caleb’s father, hence her father–inw.
In the vi were also her mother–inw Lilian Young, her second aunt Lucy Warren, and Caleb.
“Serena, I, Lilian Young, must have been blind not to realize you were a snake in the grass!” Lilian mmed
her phone on the coffee table in anger.
25 Chapter 25: pping Serena Jennings in the face
The phone screen was on, showing a hot search topic about Serena.
“Tell me, with your poor family background, if it wasn’t for you being Caleb’s lifesaver back then, do you think
I’d have agreed to let you in?”
“Since you married into the Lockwood family, we’ve given you good food and drinks, without needing you to
go out and work, but here you are, not grateful, and daring to cheat, putting a green hat on our Caleb!”
The more Lilian spoke, the angrier she got, pacing around the living room; if not for maintaining her image,
she’d have pped Serena a few times to vent.
“So kids should find a match from families of equal stature. If Caleb had married ire Shaw back then,
wouldn’t this scandal not have happened today?” Lucy chimed in while munching on sunflower seeds.
Though Serena expected criticism from the Lockwood family on her way here, she didn’t expect Caleb to be
present, nor ire to again be used forparison.
Whatever Lilian and the rest said didn’t really matter to Serena; she just silently watched Caleb, wanting to
see his reaction.
But there was none from Caleb.
His cold eyes were as calm as still water, as if it didn’t matter even if she had truly cheated with Justin.
Serena awkwardly averted her gaze, then heard Arthur ask her, “Serena, what’s going on here? Did you really
cheat?”
Serena opened and closed her mouth, debating internally how to respond.
She wanted to divorce Caleb, and if she falsely imed she did, the divorce might actually happen.
But she’d bear the stigma of infidelity forever, which was unfair and to her disadvantage.
Caleb was the one who actually cheated.
Moreover, admitting would negatively impact Justin.
Thinking it over, Serena decided to tell the truth:
“I didn’t cheat; Justin Nash is just a friend. He found a new job, and I wanted to give him a congrattory
gift…”

“Holding hands, yet you call it just friendship?” Lucy interrupted Serena, spitting sunflower seed shells.
Arthur and Lilian’s expressions grew worse.
Beside them, Caleb remained indifferent.
At least his face showed no emotion.
“These marketing ounts fabricate stories from nothing, exaggerating things, starting with one picture and
making up the rest. I was about to slip, and Justin Nash just helped me, that’s all.”
Serena naturally wouldn’t tell the Lockwood family she was absent–mindedly thinking about Caleb when
Justin pulled her away.
After hearing Serena’s words, Arthur felt relieved inwardly.
He actually believed Serena.
The Lockwoods had seen how much Serena loved Caleb.
Back when Caleb had a car ident, Serena not only saved his life but also dropped out of school for him,
became a diligent housewife after marriage, and managed the household–a dutiful and considerate
daughter–inw.
“Even if today’s hot search is fake, as Caleb’s wife, our family’s daughter–inw, it was wrong for you to act
inappropriately and pull with other men outside. Do you know how much the Lockwood Group’s stock fell
because of this hot search?!”
Arthur ced me on Serena which she didn’t understand.
“Dad, no one online knows I’m the Lockwood family’s daughter–inw, so the Lockwood Group’s stock
dropping shouldn’t be my fault.”
Arthur originally just wanted to scold Serena a bit, asserting authority as an elder, but hearing her response
infuriated him.
“You dare talk back! If the stock’s fall isn’t your fault, whose is it? If you were truly beneficial to your husband,
would our stock still fall?!” 1
Serena hadn’t expected Arthur to erupt suddenly.

It seemed Lockwood recently wasn’t doing well, and she’s be the scapegoat.
“Serena really needs discipline; you’ve been too indulgent with her,” Lucy chimed in.
Lilian strongly agreed.
“me Serena’s mom for not guiding her well! Speaking of her mom, who’s had dementia for long and stayed in an upscale nursing home–the expenses are all covered by us, the Lockwoods. Serena and her mom are
both leeches!”
Caleb frowned at these words, just as he called out “Mom,” Serena stepped forward.
“Quite the education indeed, Calebmitted adultery with his mistress, causing his wife’s unborn child to
perish. If you think I’ve drained you financially, great, have your son sign the divorce papers quickly, so I can
move on to my second spring.” 1
Serena’s rapid–fire words stunned Lilian Young.
Beside her, Arthur and Lucy were also dumbfounded.
“Serena!” Caleb couldn’t help but yell.
But at this point, Serena had no reason to hide anything.
“I’ve already asked your son for a divorce, but he’s unwilling.” Serena dered resolutely.
Lilian’s face turned green, “What did you say? You want a divorce from my son? You…you you you…”
Unable to catch her breath, Lilian fainted from
anger.
Serena never expected Lilian to be so easily provoked.
As Caleb shouted “Mom” and rushed over to support the unconscious Lilian, Serena saw the resentment in
Caleb’s eyes directed at her.
Lilian was taken to the nearby eighth hospital by ambnce.
Feeling somewhat responsible, Serena also took a cab over.
In the corridor, as Serena looked for the ward, she happened to see Calebing out, and they faced each
other.

“You have the nerve toe?” Caleb’s voice was icy.
