Serena Jennings couldn’t help but stare at the man’s face, her eyes going wide. 1
Felix Shepherd chuckled.
“Am I really that handsome?”
Serena finally realized she had been rude, and withdrew her gaze.
“I’m sorry…
“You vomited on my shoes like this, and all you have to say is sorry?”
The man’s attitude was unfriendly, and Serena furrowed her brow.
So the famouswyer Felix Shepherd of Tristan City, who had never lost a divorce case, was this kind of person.
“I’m sorry, I drank too much. How much are these shoes? I’ll pay you double.” Serena offered her business card to Felix Shepherd.
Felix took the card, nced at it, and raised an eyebrow lightly.
“No need for you to pay, just kneel down and clean them for me.”
Serena was stunned, sobered up considerably.
“Mr. Shepherd, if you talk like that, I’ll call the police.”
“You know myst name is Shepherd?”
Serena covered her mouth, while Felix Shepherd stood with his hands on his hips, chuckling with triumph.
“Oh, I remember now, you’re the one who came to my firm today seeking advice for divorce litigation, right?”
Indeed, Serena had registered at the front desk earlier that day, but she hadn’t expected Felix to remember.
Felix had returned to the firm and casually nced at the registration book, noticing Serena’s name and phone number.
It matched the contents of the business card Serena had given him.
Felix eyed Serena up and down.
Few peoplee to KTV dressed as if attending an interview, and even fewer with a stunning appearance like Serena.
Felix licked his lips.
“Do you know how many peoplee to me for divorce cases?”
“The front desk said the queue is already up to early next year.”
“Yes,”
Felix walked briskly forward, and Serena instinctively moved back.

The KTV corridor was narrow, and Serena was cornered against the wall.
“Is your husband difficult to deal with?”
Felix took another step closer, nearly pressing Serena against the wall.
Seeing Serena silent, he assumed she tacitly agreed.
“I can make an exception for you.”
“Under what conditions?”
Serena didn’t believe Felix Shepherd was so kind–hearted.
“Sleep with me once.”
Felix said his condition with such conviction that Serena found him unreasonable.
She pushed Felix away.
“Others who want to cut the queue at least sleep with me for a week!”
Felix’s shout echoed behind her, making Serena feel sick.
“You’re not even a virgin anymore, and you’re going through a divorce–what’s this, trying to erect a chastity monument for your ex-
husband?”
Serena couldn’t endure it any longer, turning back around.
Felix thought Serena had agreed to his terms. He began to smile, only to be met with a hard p across the face.
Serena didn’t hold back, using her full strength for the p.
Felix was stunned.
He wiped his mouth with his thumb, which was immediately stained red with blood.
Serena had thought Felix would finally behave, but instead, he took out a business card.
It seemed Felix initially intended to tuck the card into Serena’s chest.
She was wearing a shirt buttoned all the way up from the first to thest button.
Perhaps because he had been pped, or maybe due to Serena’s conservatively buttoned shirt, Felix was left with nowhere to ce the
card.
In the end, he stuck his card on Serena’s purse,
“Come find me if you change your mind–sleep with me once and you can rid yourself of your troublesome husband for life. Oh, and I
<b>can </b>give you a discount on the litigation fees; it’s quite a bargain.”
Serena rolled her eyes internally but didn’t discard Felix Shepherd’s business card.
Though the unpleasant incident with Felix left Serena quite annoyed, she soon became busy with AMS’s orders and put the matter

behind her.
AMS is a high–end fashion brand, and this batch of custom pocket watches for VIP clients could be the key for Serena’s brand J Jewelry
to break into the market.
Serena valued this opportunity dearly and contacted Peter to reach FY’s confidential factory for the Piano Series‘ iy work.
On this end, AMS had just approved the sample Serena submitted, while elsewhere, Peter brought more good news –
The LD Jewelry Fashion Week organizers will hold the first New Star Jewelry Design Competition early next month, and the winner will
qualify to participate in LD Jewelry Fashion Week.
Without consulting Serena, Peter had already signed her up.
Designers backed by one of the world’s top ten jewelry brands could skip the preliminary selection and directly enter the semifinals.
Serena thanked Peter profusely over the phone, eventually inviting him to dinner.
Despite only securing the semifinal qualification, Serena was as happy as if she’d won thepetition.
However, this good mood didn’tst long.
Serena’s studio only had a few employees.
Besides Quentin Xavier, the other two were women, named Sharon Sanders and Nancy Young.
The group often chatted andughed together, creating a rxed work atmosphere.
But just now, the office suddenly went quiet as a mouse.
Serena couldn’t fathom why Caleb Lockwood would appear in her studio.
Caleb came alone.
Neither Mr. Miller nor ire Shaw was with him.
Thest time Serena met Caleb was at The Seaside Vi, where after spending the night together, she had thrown him two hundred dors as payment.
Since then she hadn’t actively contacted Caleb, nor had Caleb sought her out.
Serena thought perhaps she’d offended or upset him with that two hundred dors.
Quentin, Sharon, and Nancy weren’t aware of Serena’s marital rtionship with Caleb.
However, they all knew Caleb was thepetitor CE’s or ire Shaw’spany

backing
The office air conditioning hadn’t changed temperature, but Caleb’s arrival inexplicably made everyone shiver.
Caleb walked straight to Serena’s desk, his gaze ignoring everyone else.
Serena couldn’t discern Caleb’s purpose for visiting.
If it was due to those two hundred dors, she thought Caleb’s reaction time was overly long.

“What brings you here?”
Serena asked business–like, while Caleb replied with a cold chuckle.
“I missed you… How’s that for a reason?”
Serena’s eyes widened.
The three staff members beside her were also stunned.
They all pretended to be busy working but were actually sneaking nces at Serena and Caleb.
“Did you take the wrong medicine today?” Serena asked Caleb.
“Did you take explosives today?” Caleb asked back.
If Caleb’s previous words led Sharon and the others to mistakenly think that he and Serena were romantically involved, their current
demeanor confused them further.
“I heard… you’ve entered the semifinals of the New Star Jewelry Design Competition.”
“That’s correct.”
“Withdraw.”
Caleb’s tone matched exactly when he told her not to open her own studio.
“President Lockwood, you’re an investor in CL, not J Jewelry, so I don’t seem to have any obligation to obey you!”
Seeing Serena opposing him, Calebughed.
“No wonder you’re more confident speaking in your own territory…”
Suddenly, he leaned in to whisper in Serena’s ear:
“Where was that assertiveness on the bed?”
