CHAPTER 113: CHAPTER 113: CURSED OUT RIGHT TO CALEB LOCKWOOD’S FACE

Mr. Miller slightly parted his thin lips.

The reason he accompanied Claire to visit Serena today was, of course, because Caleb Lockwood instructed him to.

Although Mr. Miller had been working as an assistant by Caleb Lockwood’s side for years, he didn’t know much about Claire. He only knew she was Caleb’s first love, and in their youth, they had gone through hardships together at the juvenile detention center, life and death intertwined. She was a pure and untouchable memory in Caleb’s heart.

However, Mr. Miller didn’t particularly like Claire Shaw.

Back in the day, Caleb Lockwood and Claire were a match made in heaven, well-known and high-profile in their high school.

Even now, many of Caleb’s classmates still believe that Caleb and Claire are lovers.

In the eyes of outsiders, Caleb was deeply in love with Claire.

In terms of appearance, family background, and personal ability, Caleb was considered top-notch.

Mr. Miller didn’t think Caleb was undeserving of Claire.

Yet, Claire Shaw broke up with Caleb Lockwood.

Mr. Miller wasn’t particularly clear on the details; he heard it had something to do with Caleb’s grandfather.

Caleb’s first and most serious emotional investment suffered a huge blow.

The worst part was, Claire wasn’t decisive in the breakup.

She went abroad yet kept posting on social media to provoke Caleb, hoping he’d chase her overseas to win her back.

In the end, Caleb chose to get married.

Mr. Miller clearly knew Serena was chosen by Lance Lockwood, not by Caleb himself.

Caleb does not love Serena.

But, since he’s already married, Serena is Caleb’s only wife.

From Mr. Miller’s standpoint, he wasn’t qualified to comment on other people’s families, especially his boss’s, but he did personally think Serena was the most innocent victim in this romantic entanglement.

"Mr. Miller? Why aren’t you saying anything?"

Mr. Miller snapped back to reality, seeing the naked pressure in Claire’s seemingly harmless big eyes.

"Well, Miss Jennings refused to accept it because..."

Before Mr. Miller could finish, Claire immediately took back her phone.

"Caleb, do you think I shouldn’t have come to see Serena by myself? Maybe it’d be better if you accompanied me? If you were there, even if Serena disliked my gift, she wouldn’t show it so obviously..."

The more Claire spoke, the more her voice seemed forlorn.

"Did she say something harsh to you?" Caleb’s voice came from the phone.

Claire was silent at first, then nodded after a moment.

"Yeah..."

"Ignore her."

Caleb’s voice was extremely cold from the speaker, making Claire feel secretly pleased.

"Then what about the gift..."

"Just keep it yourself!"

"Hmm, I guess I’ll have to."

Claire looked as if she was in a difficult situation.

She never once told Caleb the gift she gave Serena was a bunch of pink roses, and Caleb never asked.

A few days later, when Caleb finished his business, he appeared in Serena’s hospital room.

There were a few people in Serena’s hospital room:

Lana Xavier, Peter, and Patrick Rhodes were all there.

Everyone’s gaze was on Caleb Lockwood.

The first person Caleb looked at was Patrick.

Under Caleb’s cold steady gaze, Patrick rubbed the back of his neck, feeling like he had been bitten by a snake.

"Brother Lockwood..."

"Uncle Rhodes asked me several times, saying you haven’t been going to the company these days, where have you been hanging out?"

"I told him! I said a friend got into a car accident and is hospitalized, and I went to the hospital to visit. Why doesn’t he believe me?"

"A friend..."

Caleb picked up on the key word, glancing at Serena.

Patrick’s expression was awkward.

He felt like he was caught between a rock and a hard place.

Claire and Serena were rivals in love, and to be honest, he was always in Claire’s camp, so being friends with Serena seemed inappropriate.

"The doctor said Serena needs to rest. If President Lockwood has nothing else, please leave."

Peter couldn’t stand Caleb.

Especially how Caleb’s presence always made Serena uncomfortable.

"I’m Serena’s husband. I didn’t ask you to leave, and you’re hurrying me out?" Caleb stood with his hands in his pockets, looking coldly at Peter.

Peter wasn’t backing down, retorting, "Aren’t you two about to get divorced anyway."

Caleb’s expression didn’t change, but a storm raged in his eyes.

As if the whole world already knew he and Serena were getting a divorce.

"About to get divorced... means not yet divorced. Do I need to teach this logic to Director Peter?"

"And you have the nerve to say you’re not divorced yet!"

Lana couldn’t hold back anymore on the side.

"What kind of husband doesn’t show up when his wife is in a car accident and goes to ICU? How many days has Serena been in the hospital? Where have you been? If you don’t come, at least the money should arrive! If it weren’t for the driver at fault paying up, Serena wouldn’t have even had money for medical bills!"

Lana was so angry her face turned bright red.

"Now Serena’s out of danger, and she’s woken up, and now you know to visit. What were you doing earlier? And you still have the nerve to call yourself Serena’s husband! I’m telling you, Serena’s unluckiest decision in life was marrying you!"

The room fell into a sudden silence.

Even after her outburst, Lana realized she’d been impulsive.

But she had enjoyed venting.

Anyway, since Serena was going to divorce Caleb, she wasn’t afraid he’d take out his anger on Serena.

Serena stayed silent.

Actually, about the medical bills, she didn’t have evidence, but she felt Lana might have misunderstood.

The medical bills this time were certainly considerable. If they were paid by the responsible driver’s side, there should have been issues like insurance claims and so on.

But neither the hospital nor the insurance company had ever troubled her for money.

However, she didn’t analyze this with Lana, because if she did, Lana would 100% misunderstand that she was speaking for Caleb, and it’d be hard for her to not get labeled as being naive in love.

"Finished cursing?" Caleb calmly asked Lana.

"Not yet!" Lana was determined, pointing at Caleb and cursing in front of Serena, Peter, and Patrick about him being disloyal, two-timing, heartless, a playboy, etc. When she ran out of new words, she repeated them until her mouth foamed.

"Alright, let’s pause the cursing for now!" Lana’s voice was hoarse, so she poured herself a glass of water.

Next to her, Patrick observed Caleb’s unimpaired composure and couldn’t help but mentally give him a thumbs-up.

No wonder he’s our Brother Lockwood, his psychological endurance is remarkable!

Peter had intended to criticize Caleb, but compared to Lana, he admitted defeat.

"Does anyone else want to curse at me? Do it all at once." Caleb turned to Peter and Patrick, speaking calmly.

Peter stayed silent, and Patrick waved his hand repeatedly, his expression saying: I wouldn’t dare!

Finally, Caleb looked at Serena lying in the hospital bed and asked:

"What about you?"

Serena shook her head, saying nothing.

"Since everyone who wanted to curse has done so, and those who don’t want to have refrained, please leave now. I wish to speak to my wife alone."

Serena felt it was laughable and sarcastic that Caleb still referred to her as his wife at this moment.
