16 Chapter 116: Deliberately Transferring Shares to a Competitor
Serena Jennings frowned and refuted seriously, “A former husband doesn’t equal a close friend. 1
Her words were crisp and swift, yet that trace of entanglement and guilt in her eyes didn’t escape Ian ckwood’s gaze.
Ian ckwood smiled coldly and poured another ss of whiskey with ice.
“You’re not worthy of Caleb Lockwood; divorce is a liberation for you.”
“I don’t want to be judged by someone I just met today.”
“Suit yourself.”
After finishing his drink, Ian ckwood drove Serena Jennings back to the Zenith Rehabilitation Center.
Serena Jennings initially thought Ian ckwood wouldn’t get out of the car, but he did, escorting her all the way to the entrance.
“I’m leaving now, offering you a gift as we part.”
Ian ckwood’s elongated eyes formed crescent moons, his smile carrying a genteel warmth.
“I don’t need a gift.”
Serena Jennings now wouldn’t be misled by Ian ckwood’s smile.
.</b><b>” </b>
As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked away the crutch Serena Jennings was leaning on.
Serena Jennings fell to the ground with a thud.
Ian ckwood burst intoughter, doubling over.
“This pose is wonderful; how about it? Surprised by this gift?”
He crouched down, stared into Serena Jennings‘ furious eyes, and his smile gradually faded.
“If you dare to fight ire for a man again, if you dare to covet something you shouldn’t, next time I’ll gouge out your eyes and give them
to you as a gift”
Having said this, Jan ckwood stood up, striding out of the Zenith Rehabilitation Center.
Even from behind, his silhouette still carried a semnce of elegance with a viinous touch.
Serena Jennings finally stood up with the help of the nurse.
Initially, she was resentful of this rehabilitation center, but now she believes it’s okay as long as the advanced equipment here can help her leg recover quickly.
The Lockwood Group.

“I’m sorry, without an appointment, you can’t go in.”
The junior secretary had tried her best to stop the unexpected visitor, but the visitor still kicked open the general manager’s office door.
Caleb Lockwood, sitting inside, raised his eyes to see the man wearing sses with gold rims walk in.
“President Lockwood, I’m sorry, I…
Caleb Lockwood gestured to the junior secretary, who immediately exited, closing the door behind her.
n ckwood, after all these years, you’re still so rude.”
Caleb Lockwood’s face was cold.
“And you still like putting on airs.”
“No smoking in the office.”
Then why is there an ashtray? Are you allowed to smoke but I’m not?”
“Because it’s my office.”
Caleb Lockwood’s retort left Ian ckwood momentarily speechless.
“Speak your business, or I’ll call security to escort you out. Or, I can personally escort you out.”
Ian ckwood knew Caleb Lockwood wasn’t joking.
They’d fought in high school; it was Ian ckwood who had provoked Caleb Lockwood. Each had their victories and losses, but overall,
Caleb Lockwood was superior.
“We’re both grown now; I’m not just a punk who fights.”
After saying this, Ian ckwood took a piece of paper from his trouser pocket and handed it to Caleb Lockwood.
“I’m here to give you this. No need to thank me; I’m just that kind–hearted.”
Caleb Lockwood silently stared at the contents on the paper, his expression unchanged, butn ckwood noticed Caleb Lockwood’s
fingers gripping the paper, knuckles bing more prominent.
“Add this ten percent….guess, will The Lockwood Group’s name change to ckwood?”
Whispering into Caleb Lockwood’s car,n ckwood adjusted his gold–rimmed sses and voluntarily left Caleb Lockwood’s office.
At night, the Zenith Rehabilitation Center was very quiet.
Serena Jennings was in her hospital room, painstakingly embedding sample jewelry for the LD Jewelry Fashion Week.
She waspletely focused, unaware of when Caleb Lockwood appeared behind her.

116 Chapter 116: Deliberately Transferring Shares to a Competitor
It wasn’t until she smelled smoke that Serena Jennings realized someone was behind her.
Caleb Lockwood had arrived silently; even when she turned around to face him, he remained silent.
Serena Jennings noticed Caleb Lockwood holding a cigarette in one hand, his expression looking angry.
But she didn’t understand why Caleb Lockwood was angry.
If anyone should be angry, it should be her.
Because Caleb Lockwood had put her in the rehabilitation center run by ire Shaw’s parents without informing her.
The two stared wordlessly at each other for a long time until Caleb Lockwood spoke, voice cold as ice.
“I’m worried your leg might havesting effects, so I let you stay in the most advanced rehabilitation center…this is how you repay me?”
A paper was thrown on Serena Jennings‘ face.
Serena Jennings looked down; it was the guarantee she had handwritten today.
The contents were her voluntary agreement, post–divorce from Caleb Lockwood, to transfer the ten percent of The Lockwood Group
shares she received to Ian ckwood withoutpensation.
Serena Jennings now wasn’t surprised that this guarantee had ended up in Caleb Lockwood’s hands.
At first, she wasn’t sure how Ian ckwood knew about the contents of her divorce agreement with Caleb Lockwood, but she thought
Ian ckwood’s aim was The Lockwood Group’s shares.
However, upon hearing Ian ckwood’s words when he kicked her crutch away, she realized Ian ckwood was likely sent by ire
Shaw.
The rehabilitation center she’s currently in is run by ire Shaw’s parents.
In other words, it’s also ire Shaw’s enterprise.
For ire Shaw, seeing the contents of her divorce agreement wasn’t too difficult because she never considered the agreement would
hold any value.
ire Shaw indeed cared about that ten percent share, even if she was about to be the new mistress of The Lockwood Group.
As long as Caleb Lockwood knew that she transferred the shares post–divorce, he would surely change his mind.
Serena Jennings guessed right.
Unfortunately, it was toote.
Even if she’d realized earlier, she would have agreed ton ckwood’s demand.
Because she couldn’t stand watching Lana Xavier lose her job because she cared for her.
Originally, she didn’t want The Lockwood Group’s shares.
However, she didn’t want Caleb Lockwood to misunderstand.

“What if I said…ire Shaw sent that man with sses to threaten me with Lana Xavier’s job to write this guarantee?”
Caleb Lockwood’s eyelids lifted slightly.
“Do you have evidence?”
He asked calmly and straightforwardly.
Serena Jennings took a deep breath.
“No.”
Caleb Lockwood sneered.
“Why should I believe something without evidence?”
Caleb Lockwood’s words made sense; Serena Jennings didn’t expect him to believe her.
“Then you can consider it deliberate! Deliberately transferring shares to yourpetitor. Didn’t I ask you at first, what if I sold this ten
percent share to yourpetitor?”
Serena Jennings didn’t actually know whether Ian ckwood was Caleb Lockwood’spetitor, but Caleb Lockwood seemed angry
enough that transferring her ten percent share to Ian ckwood would severely impact The Lockwood Group.
“Even if he threatened you, truly for Lana Xavier, do you understand the value of The Lockwood Group’s ten percent shares? How many
people’s lives and assets are affected?”
Caleb Lockwood took a step forward, closing in on Serena Jennings.
For a moment, Serena Jennings felt a sensation of breathlessness.
Caleb Lockwood’s eyes were as ck as an abyss.
“The entire Lockwood Group…means less to you than Lana Xavier?”
