42 Chapter 42: Make You Hurt Even More
Serena finally saw a smile on Caleb Lockwood’s face, but it was filled with sarcasm. 1
“I didn’t deliberately try to please grandpa…”
“Oh? So that ‘MacDonald‘ Stradivarius wasn’t a gift from you?”
“I..”
Serena’s wrist was suddenly grabbed by Caleb Lockwood.
“That violin is worth billions at the very least, Serena. Where did you get the money? How much more are you
hiding from me?”
Serena felt as though her wrist was about to be crushed by Caleb. With her seatbelt fastened, she found it
difficult to resist.
“Caleb Lockwood, you’re hurting me.”
Before Serena could break free from Caleb’s grip, he unbuckled his seatbelt and pressed closer.
His maic voice was like a snake’s hiss, licking Serena’s ear.
“I can make it hurt even more. Want to try?”
Serena struggled frantically, and the more she moved, the more aggressively Caleb restrained her.
She didn’t understand what madness had overtaken him again.
The two of them wrestled, neither willing to give in.
Serena bit Caleb’s lip hard enough to draw blood, and the metallic taste filled her own mouth.
Just then, a piercing car horn interrupted their struggle,
Approaching the ck Maybach was a shy red Ferrari sports car.
Caleb knew whose car it was.
Unconcerned, he lowered the passenger window and saw none other than Justin Nash sitting in the red

sports car.
Justin saw Caleb pressing against Serena, the two of them not only close but also in an intimate position.
Serena’s clothes and hair were a mess.
Serena never expected to see Justin Nash here.
She hurriedly pushed Caleb away, unbuckled her seatbelt, and tried to get out of the car.
But the door wouldn’t open–it was locked.
At this moment, Caleb, having returned to the driver’s seat, calmly unlocked the car and took out his phone
to call Mr. Miller.
“Mr. Miller, have you taken ire home yet?”
Standing by the now–open car door, Serena stiffened.
She turned to nce at Caleb.
Unlike the furious Justin Nash, Caleb’s expression was calm, even bearing a faint, enigmatic smile on his lip.
“Then take her to The Seaside Vi instead. I’m heading there now.”
Serena knew The Seaside Vi was a property of The Lockwood Family.
After hanging up the call, Caleb looked at Serena without a care and said:
“Go ahead.”
Serena got out of the car and into Justin Nash’s car.
It wasn’t until the red Ferrari drove off with Serena that Caleb’s expression slightly changed. His eyes were darker than the night.
The red sports car raced through the night.
Inside the car, Serena, her nerves finally calming, asked Justin what brought him here.
“I was running some errands and happened to pass by.”
“Are you here for a driving test?”

Justin was amused by Serena’s words.
He knew that Serena, being so smart, wouldn’t believe it, as this area was so deste, and aside from a
driving test, there wasn’t much reason for anyone to be driving here around this time.
So he told the truth.
It turned out that Justin had heard from Lana Xavier that Serena was visiting The Lockwood Family estate
today.
Concerned Serena might be bullied, he had been driving around since 6 PM, hoping to “identally” run into
her.
Serena felt warmth in her heart upon hearing this.
“Thank you. I don’t know what I would’ve done without you tonight…”
Otherwise, who knows what Caleb Lockwood might have done to her.
Justin drove Serena home, all the way to the doorstep, hesitating to leave.
“Is there something else?” Serena asked proactively.
Scratching the back of his neck, Justin turned red.
“I… It’s nothing… Just… If you’re okay with it, I’d like to stay with you tonight…”
The moment those words were out of his mouth, Justin saw a change in Serena’s expression.
“Don’t misunderstand, I don’t mean anything else… It’s just that Caleb Lockwood… I’m afraid he might bother
you again…”
Serena gazed into Justin’s eyes.
His eyes were clear, unlike Caleb’s, like a stream where everything was visible.
So she knew Justin wasn’t lying, not using it as an excuse.
“Don’t worry. Caleb won’te looking for me tonight.”
“How do you know?”

Justin still felt uneasy, while Serena managed a small smile.
“Because he’s gone to find ire Shaw.”
The Seaside Vi.
When Caleb arrived, the vi lights were on.
He had just opened the door when he saw ire Shaw standing at the entrance.
ire had changed into her nightwear, a pale pink silk nightgown that outlined her curvaceous figure
beautifully.
She tiptoed and reached out to help Caleb untie his tie.
At the same time, Caleb actively took off his suit jacket. 1
The next day, Serena arrived at thepany early, waiting outside the president’s office.
She waited until almost noon.
Caleb finally showed up, casting her a lukewarm nce.
“Got something to say?”
Serena followed Caleb into his office, handing over her resignation letter.
Caleb took the resignation letter, tore it into four pieces, and tossed them in the trash.
“Caleb…”
“What did
you
call me?”
Caleb sat down in his boss chair.
Serena corrected herself, “President Lockwood… I’m not resigning impulsively because of you going to find ire Shawst night.”
She genuinely wanted to stay away from Caleb.
Caleb gave a smile without any warmth.
“I don’t care why; I only remember promising not to have Lana detained on the condition that you work at

Lockwood Group. So now you’re going back on your word? Did President Nash offer you a better deal?”
Serena realized Caleb used “President Nash” deliberately, mocking her.
“It has nothing to do with Justin Nash.”
“Then who does it have to do with?”
Serena was at a loss for words and left Caleb’s office dejectedly.
She had lunch in the cafeteria and saw Christine Warren and several colleagues surrounding ire Shaw
with questions.
Apparently, ire had arrived at thepany in Caleb’s car today.
The two were inseparable, and both werete.
“What, what? The Seaside Vi? Oh my god, so romantic…”
ire immediately covered Christine’s mouth, blushing furiously.
“Don’t talk nonsense here at thepany!”
The news spread, and by the afternoon, everyone at Lockwood Group heard that ire Shaw had spent the
night at Caleb’s vi.
“So the president finally got her?”
“Looks like it, right?”
“I heard they’ve been living together for a while now!”
All afternoon, the gossip wouldn’t leave Serena’s ears; she tried to focus on work but found it difficult to
concentrate.
“Where’s my coffee?”
Serena snapped back to reality when someone knocked on her desk, seeing Caleb had appeared beside her at
some point.
“Sorry, I’ll get it right away…”

Serena stood up, remembering Caleb had asked her to make coffee three times.
But she had forgotten.
“No need to trouble Serena.”
At that moment, ire Shaw approached, carrying a steaming cup of coffee.
“I made your favorite Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee.”
“But making coffee for me is Serena’s job.”
Caleb looked at Serena with a gaze full of disappointment.
“I see… So this cup of coffee is wasted then…” ire Shaw lowered her head, looking dejected.
“Who said I wouldn’t drink it?” Caleb took the coffee from ire’s hand with a faint smile.
ire’s eyes lit up again, and she followed Caleb into his office.
Serena watched as the office blinds were pulled down once more. 1
