125 Chapter 125: He’s Afraid of Divorce
Ian ckwood turned around, adjusting his gold–rimmed sses to look at Serena Jennings. 1
Serena stood in front of him, looking serious.
“The emerald ne you broke was designed by one of my employees, not me. You have to give them an exnation”
He shrugged with a smile, turned back around,pletely ignoring Serena’s words.
Serena sighed softly.
“It seems you’re not just targeting me, you’re simply a person of poor character and rude.”
Ian paused his steps, nced back with a smile.
As if tacitly agreeing with Serena, while also mocking her for being annoyed but unable to do anything to him.
Serena, catching Ian off guard, suddenly grabbed his wrist and cor.
Ian had no time to react before Serena performed a beautiful shoulder throw, mming him onto the ground.
Sharon Sanders and Nancy Young were dumbfounded, speechless.
Was he just… thrown by a weak girl like Serena?
Ian blinked, his vision blurry.
Because his sses had fallen off.
Inn’s memory, he’d been in countless fights and had been hit before, but being shoulder–thrown by a woman was a first for him.
Ian found it quite novel, lying on the ground with a grin,ughing more and more, his shoulders trembling withughter.
Serena watched quietly, contemting whether to call an ambnce.
But she remembered from her martial arts training that this move wasn’t fatal to the head;n shouldn’t be brain–damaged from
her throw!
Ianughed foolishly for a while before getting up on his own, at which point he vaguely saw someone handing him his sses.
Once he put on his sses, Serena’s figure became clear in his vision.
“Who is the employee that designed the ne I broke?”
Serena didn’t answer, just turned her head to nce at Sharon Sanders and Nancy Young
ording to Patrick Rhodes,n was known to be aggressive, seemingly indiscriminate when it came to physical confrontations, and

Serena only wanted to get justice for Sharon Sanders, not forn to harass her.
Ian somewhat guessed Serena’s concerns from her reaction.
He strode over to Sharon and Nancy.
“I’m sorry…
Hearingn apologize, both Sharon and Nancy were stunned.
Serena was also full of surprise.
Ian didn’t care who among the two employees designed the ne he broke; he just apologized sincerely.
After apologizing, as he brushed past Serena, he whispered:
“That shoulder throw was quite impressive.”
After Ian left, Sharon and Nancy gathered around Serena, asking curiously:
“Serena, who is that guy really?”
Serena looked towards the door and answered tly, “…He’s a patient.”
The Lockwood Group.
Wyatt Coleman was called into Caleb Lockwood’s office.
As the chiefwyer of Caleb’s legal team, he believed himself to be quite capable; otherwise, he wouldn’t havested so long at the
Lockwood Group.
However…
“This still won’t do, take it back and redo it.”
Caleb casually tossed a document in front of Wyatt.
Wyatt didn’t need to ask what the document was, nor how it needed to be modified.
Because he’d already asked several times before, and if he made Caleb repeat himself, he might as well pack up and leave.
Most of the time, Caleb was a good boss.
His instructions were clear and decisive, never dragging things out, and he was never capricious.
Wyatt used to enjoy working with Caleb.
But this time, it was really tough for him.
This was the seventy–first version of the divorce agreement he and the legal team had revised.
And yet…
It still didn’t pass.

125 Chapter 125: He’s Afraid of Divorce
Initially, when Caleb told Wyatt the original divorce agreement was void and needed to be redone, he wasn’t surprised or felt it was difficult.
Because Caleb had clearly stated to remove the use about transferring ten percent of the Lockwood Group’s shares.
Wyatt did as instructed, and that’s when the nightmare began.
For the next half month, he worked with the entire legal team amending the divorce agreement.
Submit one version, rejected, returned for revision.
Submit another, still rejected, keep revising, over and over.
Now, this was the seventy–first version.
And it still didn’t work.
The problem was, Wyatt had no idea what was wrong with it.
Caleb wouldn’t tell him exactly what needed fixing either.
Wyatt had asked, but Caleb just told him to figure it out himself.
Sometimes Wyatt couldn’t help but wonder if Caleb really didn’t want to divorce Serena Jennings.
Whether it was the 30–billion–dorpensation or the ten percent shares of the Lockwood Group, maybe he just wanted Serena
change her mind and not mention divorce again.
However, Wyatt didn’t dare say or ask this question.
Even from a logical standpoint, it didn’t make sense.
Who was Caleb Lockwood?
Did he fear divorce?
Especially when he had ire Shaw as an avable substitute.
Wyatt couldn’t figure it out.
That evening, he submitted the seventy–second version, and it still didn’t pass.
Wyatt wasn’t discouraged anymore, as he had be ustomed to it.
Caleb wasn’t deliberately making things hard for Wyatt.
Though from Wyatt’s perspective, it seemed like genuine hassle.
He nced at his custom watch; it was nearly ten o’clock at night, but Caleb still hadn’t left his office.
He was waiting for his divorce agreement.
The night was silent, and the lights were few in the sparsely upied new neighborhood.

The nearby yground would have a lot of kids ying in the summer, but now that it was nearly December, it was deserted.
Tonight was an exception.
Jan didn’t expect ire Shaw to ask to meet him here.
He wore a thick, midnight blue wool coat, sitting on a narrow children’s swing, which was actually ufortable.
n!”
ire Shaw arrived fashionablyte, waving at Ian.
She was intentionallyte, partly to dress up, partly to demonstrate her worth.
Jan looked at ire Shaw, his eyes behind gold–rimmed sses filled with tenderness.
ire Shaw was still dressed in a sweet, pastel style, as if her age was forever fixed at high school.
Clearly, this pure and sweet look was his favorite, yet for some reason, tonight, seeing ire, he didn’t feel the electric shock he used to.
Ian inexplicably thought of Serena Jennings.
Serena’s style was theplete opposite of ire’s.
Serena dressed simply and modestly, with clean, sharp tailoring, paired with light makeup, giving a refreshing impression.
Ian couldn’t help but chuckle.
Because he thought of himself being flipped over by Serena earlier today.
Seeing Ianugh, ire deliberately posed in front of the swing.
Since being suspected by Caleb Lockwoodst time, she dared not meetn in bars anymore.
So she chose this location.
But it wasn who initiated the meeting.
“You asked me out… is there something you wanted to discuss?”
