99 Chapter 99: Having Them Work Together
“Since the materials can’t be transported for now, why not… use my design?”
ire Shaw said as she presented her design work.

ire Shaw also designed a seal, about the size of a Jade Seal, which could serve as an actual seal or an ornament.
However, her design features two dragons ying with a pearl, whereas Serena Jennings’s design uses camels and Oashia to symbolize
the Silk Road.
“Director Lowell, what do you think?”
ire handed over a finished product to Director Lowell.
Although it was made of jade, it was several grades lower than the high ice yang green requested by Serena.
As a gift for foreign guests, it’s eptable but not perfect in every aspect.
Director Lowell was also in a dilemma, but as of now, Serena’s designcks the raw materials to produce a finished product, making any
brilliant idea nothing more than empty words.
“I’ll drive there now.”
Serena turned to leave.
“Where are you going?”
Caleb Lockwood had just entered the conference room<b>, </b>only to see Serena moving like a headless fly, almost bumping into him.
“If I drive to the factory over in NY now, I can still make it.”
“Do you know how heavily it’s raining outside?”
Caleb asked.
Serena certainly knew.
“But I must go.”
Meeting Serena’s determined gaze, Caleb shrugged with a smile.
“Are you really that unwilling to use ire’s design?”
This made it seem like Serena was persistently insisting due to some personal grudge. Serena opened her mouth, wanting to retort but
realized it would be endless.
She didn’t have much time to waste right now.
“I was originally nning to go with the <i>car</i>; the jade materials must be personally selected by someone knowledgeable.”
After a simple exnation, Serena threw out one line to everyone: “Contact me anytime if needed.”
Then she bypassed Caleb and walked out of the conference room.
Caleb followed her out.

“Let Mr. Miller take you!”
Serena turned around at the sound.
She saw Caleb holding out his car key, his expression as indifferent as ever.
“It’s slippery when wet; it’s safer if Mr. Miller drives.”
Serena looked at Caleb, unsure if this was his concern for her or his distrust.
“I appreciate the offer.” Serena shook her head, refusing. “Mr. Miller’s driving skills aren’t as good as mine.”
After saying this, she turned and left without looking back.
Just then, Mr. Miller walked over, and Caleb turned to him and said, “Did you hear that?”
Mr. Miller nodded, feeling caught betweenughter and tears.
He considered himself a decent driver; otherwise, he wouldn’t be Caleb’s chauffeur.
“Miss Jennings must be stubborn.” He said ndly.
“You think so too?”
Caleb said, then started walking, following the path Serena took.
Mr. Miller didn’t follow; although he didn’t know where Caleb was going, he had a hunch that Caleb didn’t want him to follow.
Serena had already gotten into her car.
The torrential rain kept pouring; the closer she got to YN, the heavier the rain.
Following the navigation, she drove quickly, entirely focused on driving, unaware of a car consistently following her.
The Lockwood Group.
ire Shaw searched around but couldn’t find Caleb Lockwood in the building.
“Mr. Miller, do you know where Caleb went?”
Mr. Miller shook his head.
He truly didn’t know.
ire felt inexplicably anxious.
Serena was off to get the raw materials, but what about Caleb?
Could he possibly have apanied Serena?
ire shook her head vigorously.
She directly dialed Caleb’s phone.
“Hey Caleb, where are you? <b>I </b>couldn’t find you at thepany.”

“I went out.”
“It’s just… what are you doing out there?”
ire seldom questioned Caleb’s whereabouts, but this time, she couldn’t help it.
“Washing the car.”
Caleb said and hung up right after.
ire was left bewildered.
Washing the car… why not let Mr. Miller do it?
What car was so important that Caleb had to wash it himself?
The emperor blue Bentley sped through the torrential rain.
The heavy rain indeed washed away all the dust from the car.
Caleb was chasing the white BMW 3 Series in front, but the more he chased, the more distance there was.
Caleb hadn’t expected that his car couldn’t catch up with Serena’s.
He also hadn’t anticipated that Serena’s driving skills were so good.
But he didn’t like seeing Serena driving at such high speeds.
To save time, along the way, Serena didn’t book a decent hotel, instead making do with highway service area motels.
In this way, four dayster, Serena arrived at the factory to pick up the raw stones.
The selection of jade raw materials is particrly crucial, and Serena didn’t think this trip was particrly exhausting; she had nned
to travel with the transport vehicle to personally select the raw stones.
After choosing the raw stones and loading them, they could only fit in her car’s trunk.
The rain continued, and Serena’s car wasn’t a professional transport vehicle. Halfway through, the dashboard indicated a malfunction.
Serena had no choice but to park on the highway emergencyne.
Without rain gear in the car, she got out to check and became drenched like a drowned rat.
After the onset of autumn, an autumn rain brought a chill.
The cold rain hit Serena, and goosebumps rose all over her body.
Now her hair and clothes werepletely soaked, raindrops streaming down her forehead, blurring her eyes.
With limited tools in the car, she could only perform simple repairs.
Serena had done her utmost, yet she couldn’t get the car to start.
Even contacting a tow truckpany, what about the raw stones in her car?

As darkness loomed, Serena stood alone on the highway emergencyne, watching vehicles stream past, feeling helpless, as if drowning
in a sea of despair.
Then, headlights suddenly shed at her.
The alternating high and low beams seemed to deliberately irritate her eyes.
Squinting, Serena saw the car slowing down and stopping on the emergencyne alongside hers.
Despite the downpour, the car was unmistakably striking.
Serena’s heart raced when she recognized the emperor blue Bentley in front of her as Caleb’s.
Caleb got out of the car, holding a ck umbre.
Rain sttered loudly on the umbre.
Serena knew the man before her wasn’t a figment of her imagination.
Facing each other, neither spoke.
Serena felt her breathing go slightly awry.
She wanted to ask why Caleb was here.
“Get in the car.”
Before Serena could ask, Caleb spoke first and tilted the umbre over her head.
Instantly, the rain hitting Serena lessened.
Serena noticed Caleb’s suit getting drenched by the rain.
“I need to get the raw stones.”
Serena wasn’t pretentious and epted Caleb’s timely help.
“I’ll get them; you get in the car,”
Caleb held the umbre for Serena, letting her sit inside first before retrieving the jade raw stones from her car trunk,
The raw stones were heavy; back at the factory, Serena had needed assistance from the staff to load them into her car.
Caleb’s help saved her considerable trouble.
When Caleb got into the driver’s seat, his suit was entirely wet.
For a moment, Serena was unsure whether to apologize, so she started with a “thank you.”
Caleb didn’t react, quietly driving.
Serena’s car was towed away, while she and the jade raw stones were in Caleb’s car.
The car remained silent; the Bentley’s soundproofing shut out the heavy rain, making the interior unusually quiet.

“Why are you here?”
Serena couldn’t help but ask.
“Just happened to pass by.” Caleb, eyes on the road, replied.
“I see…”
There was no disappointment in Serena’s voice; she simply found it unbelievable.
Then Caleb took the initiative to ask:
“You don’t think I drove all the way following you to pick you up, do you?”
