29 Chapter 29: Mistress and Paramour
Patrick Rhodes originally wanted to retort with “Who are you?“, but seeing the other person’s exceptional
attire, he dared not speak carelessly. 1
Lilian Young saw that thisdy was also unfamiliar and took the initiative to ask, “May I ask who
<b>you </b>are…”
“I am Faye Finch, the owner of The Wellness Pavilion.”
Upon hearing this, ire Shaw’s expression instantly changed, but with so many people around, she dared
not show any signs of guilt.
“All the supplements from The Wellness Pavilion are my proprietary form and aren’t sold to just anyone. In
the past month, I’ve only sold them to Serena Jennings.”
Upon hearing Serena Jennings‘ name, Lilian Young was the most surprised one.
Caleb Lockwood’s chiseled face, however, revealed little emotion.
“Serena Jennings said a friend’s mother was hospitalized due to a fright and needed some calming, health-
boosting supplements. I didn’t expect it was referring to Mrs. Lockwood.”
The mention of “a friend” by Faye Finch stirred waves in Caleb Lockwood’s deep eyes.
His grip on the wine ss tightened.
Lilian Young forced a smile, “Those supplements are indeed effective, truly living up to the reputation of a
global brand.”
At this moment, Arthur Lockwood came over, proudly saying, “Ms. Finch, Serena is our Lockwood family
daughter–inw, she is so filial.”
Only when they heard this from Mr. Lockwood did Caleb Lockwood’s high school ssmates realize he was already married.
“Eh?” Faye Finch raised an eyebrow, “Then is this Miss Shaw the mistress President Lockwood found
outside?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s gaze at ire Shaw immediately turned strange.
29 Chapter 29: Mistress and Paramour
ire Shaw tried her best to remain calm, her palms painfully wed by her own nails.
“Ms. Finch’s words are rather harsh.” Caleb Lockwood coldly exined, “ire is my high school ssmate.”
Seeing Caleb Lockwood speak up for her, ire Shaw’s smile regained some confidence.
“I’m sorry, that was a misunderstanding on my part. Faye Finch apologized verbally, but her face showed no
sign of regret, “Mainly because, in my understanding, married men shouldn’t be overly intimate with other
women, so it’s not my fault for misunderstanding.”
Caleb Lockwood opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Arthur Lockwood took over the conversation,
“Ms. Finch is right, it’s all Caleb’sck of propriety, it’s my failure in teaching him right.”
Although Faye Finch is just a nutritionist, her family background is quite extraordinary, and she is well-
connected in the business circle. Arthur Lockwood considered it a great fortune to have invited Faye Finch
today.
Faye Finch originally did not want toe.
But knowing Serena Jennings was the Lockwood family’s daughter–inw, she thought she might see Serena
there.
Serena Jennings was quite surprised to see Faye Finch at The Lockwood Estate.
She was about to leave, but seeing Faye Finch made her stay a little longer.
After perfunctorily talking to Arthur Lockwood, Faye Finch immediately went over to find Serena Jennings.
The two of them walked to a spot away from the party for a private conversation, and from an outsider’s
perspective, they seemed very familiar with each other.
“Are you really not nning to go back to see your parents? They said they miss you.” Faye Finch advised
earnestly, a stark contrast to her earlier confrontation with Caleb Lockwood.
Serena Jennings‘ expression was colder than ever.
She was silent for a long time, then gave a mocking smile.
“I have only one mother, and she is in a nursing home that I often visit.”
Faye Finch hesitated before changing the subject.

“That Caleb Lockwood…”
“I’m filing for divorce with him.”
Noticing Serena Jennings didn’t want to discuss Caleb Lockwood further, Faye Finch gave Serena’s shoulder a
pat, like a caring elder.
Since realizing Faye Finch knew Serena Jennings, ire Shaw noticed the frequency and length of Caleb
Lockwood’s gazes toward Serena Jennings increased.
“Caleb…” she clung to Caleb Lockwood’s arm with both hands, “I’m sorry… while at the hospital, I didn’t know
those supplements were from Serena. She didn’t leave a name. Although I suspected it might be her, Aunt
Lilian was angry and frail then. I was afraid that mentioning Serena would upset her more. Caleb, you won’t
me me, will you?”
With reddened eyes, ire Shaw lowered her head.
“You even lost your job to care for my mom, how could I possibly me you? I’m grateful to you instead.”
With those words from Caleb Lockwood, ire Shaw rested her head on his arm, relieved.
“But Serena is really capable, to be acquainted with the owner of The Wellness Pavilion. I heard The Wellness
Pavilion has recently gotten quite close to the Nash Group, maybe it was introduced by the new president of
Starlight Media!”
Listening to ire Shaw, Caleb Lockwood noticed Serena Jennings, having finished her chat with Faye Finch,
was now proactively seeking out Justin Nash and began a conversation with him.
Caleb Lockwood used his thumb to rub the base of his wine ss.
After a moment, he gave ire Shaw an alluring smile and said, “Would you like to dance?”
On the other side, when Serena Jennings proactively approached him, Justin Nash was ttered.
After their rumors hit the trending searches, he was so busy he ran himself ragged. Eventually, the rumors
were rified, and the attention died down.
Justin Nash hadn’t dared to meet Serena Jennings personally; he feared she would me him for deliberately
hiding his identity.
29 Chapter 29: Mistress and Paramour
Serena Jennings had received Justin Nash’s exnatory message on WeChat on the night the hot search
appeared.
Justin Nash confessed to her that he was the eldest son of The Nash Group.
He originally had a younger brother, but hemitted suicide during his rebellious youth, envious of Justin’s
future inheritance of the family business.
Justin Nash felt very guilty, so he abandoned his identity as a Nash heir.
He volunteered at juvenile detention centers, hoping to help wayward youths and make up for his inability to
help his brother.
Now, his return to Nash Group was indeed sparked by meeting Serena Jennings.
To Justin Nash, only with sufficient status and position could he possibly win Serena away from Caleb
Lockwood.
Otherwise, Serena would forever see him as an immature kid.
Serena Jennings still wasn’t quite used to Justin Nash in a suit and slicked–back hair, although the new look
indeed made him much more handsome than before.
“Let’s go, let’s dance.”
Justin Nash took Serena’s hand and led her into the dance floor, but Serena halted.
Following her gaze, he saw Caleb Lockwood elegantly dancing a waltz with his arm around ire Shaw’s
waist.
“Forget it, let’s not dance.”
Knowing Justin Nash cared about her feelings, Serena Jennings shook her head with a smile, “It’s alright, let’s
just dance.”
She took the initiative to hold Justin Nash’s hand, and his face turned red immediately.
Caleb Lockwood, while holding ire Shaw in his arms as they danced, subtly observed Serena Jennings.
He never knew Serena could dance, and quite well at that.

Beside them, Lucy Warren sidled up to Lilian Young and whispered, “Isn’t Serena behaving too improperly? At a party full of big shots today, some of whom know she’s Caleb’s wife, she dares to openly dance with another man. And recently, wasn’t there gossip about her with that man too? In my opinion, that gossip must be true.
Lilian, you can’t ignore this!”
Lilian Young’s face turned ugly, ring at Serena with malice.
The Lockwood Group managed to regain some stock value through the business deals secured at this party.
At FY, Serena Jennings has now been promoted to the team leader of the PO series, with Heather Monroe
having been dismissed by Peter.
ire Shaw was fired due to absenteeism, and Chantelle Stone and Megan Ross, who originally sided with
her, could only keep quiet and bear the oue.
Today, Peter brought Serena Jennings big news.
“The Lockwood Group has officially entered the jewelry industry,unching a new brand called LC to directly
Even before this news was officially announced, Serena Jennings had already heard the gossip at the
It was said that the CEO of the Lockwood Group founded the new jewelry brand to court a woman.
