222 Chapter 222: Pushing Serena Jennings Overboard

Caleb Lockwood silently watched Wendy Linton. 1.

Wendy Linton saw her reflection in Caleb Lockwood’s eyes.

“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”

“No…”

Caleb Lockwood shook his head.

“Is it because Wendy is so beautiful that Caleb can’t take his eyes off her!”

Lilian Young stepped in to mediate.

“I just think… you’re different from the impression your name gives.”

Caleb Lockwood said lightly.

“Is it the name that’s better, or am I better?”

Wendy Linton held her chin with one hand, asking Caleb Lockwood with great interest.

Before speaking, Caleb Lockwood first heard Arthur Lockwood clearing his throat next to him.

“Both are good.”

In the end, he answered that way.

This answer clearly pleased Wendy Linton, and the smile in her eyes grew even brighter.

When Caleb Lockwood first heard the name Wendy Linton, he imagined a graceful and intellectualdy of a noble family.

Being adopted, it was natural that her speech and demeanor would be restrained and modest.

Yet, Wendy Linton not only had a mature and enticing figure, she exuded a dazzling confidence.

Caleb Lockwood noticed Wendy Linton was a person with a strong desire to win.

For instance, when he mentioned ire Shaw yed the piano well, Wendy Linton suggested inviting ire Shaw along.

Although she said it was a four–hand performance, anyone could tell Wendy Linton wanted a showdown with ire Shaw.

The confidence and ambition in Wendy Linton’s eyes were clear to see.

Looking at Aaron Linton and Jade Shaw, neither had the temperament of Wendy Linton.

This made Caleb Lockwood curious why they chose Wendy Linton as an adopted daughter?

Did they just want her because she was different from them?

Or…

Was there another person behind the choice of Wendy Linton as an adoptive daughter?

“Have you taken an interest in me?”

Wendy Linton suddenly leaned in to whisper to Caleb Lockwood.

Caleb Lockwood instinctively nced at the next table.

Serena Jennings was chatting happily withn ckwood, Peter, and Prince William.

He smirked and leaned into Wendy Linton’s car, but his gaze remained fixed on Serena Jennings,

“Are you sure the person I’m interested in is you?” 1

The smile on Wendy Linton’s face froze.

Arthur Lockwood and Lilian Young saw Caleb Lockwood whispering with Wendy Linton, and their worries eased a bit.

At this point, the charity banquet was alreadying to an end.

“Minister Linton, Mrs. Linton, shall we go y bridge? Give the two youngsters a chance to be alone, what do you think?”

Upon hearing Arthur Lockwood’s suggestion, Aaron Linton and Jade Shaw exchanged a nce and nodded.

“Wendy, didn’t you say you wanted to experience the starlit cinema on this cruise…”

“Perfect, Caleb, you apany Wendy there!”

Arthur Lockwood continued along with Jade Shaw’s words.

Wendy Linton stood up, and Caleb Lockwood also rose, ncing at the neighboring table and realizing Serena Jennings had already left.

On the deck, the sea breeze was strong, Serena Jennings wrapped a coat over her evening dress.

“Are you hiding here because you’re afraid they’ll find you?”

Serena Jennings heard a familiar voice behind her but didn’t turn around.

Chance Bell came to Serena Jennings’s side.

Having not met for years, Serena Jennings found Chance Bell unchanged, almost as if frozen in time.

“Isn’t it a problem that you’re not by their side?” Serena Jennings asked.

Chance Bell was Aaron Linton’s bodyguard after all.

Chance Bell shrugged at Serena Jennings with a bitter smile.

“Then guess why I’m here?”

Chance Bell’s question made Serena Jennings realize he wasn’t here of his own ord, but sent by Aaron Linton to find her. fn06d7 This update is avable on fin?novel/fn06d7

“Minister Linton feared you wouldn’t want to see him, so he sent me as a mediator.”

Serena Jennings turned to Chance Bell, “What is he trying to persuade me into?” 3.15.29

222 Chapter 222: Pushing Serena Jennings Overboard

“Nothing much… Minister Linton hopes you can understand his decision back then… he was forced by circumstances… he doesn’t want

you to hate him… also… after years seeing you so sessful, he’s very happy…”

“If you have nothing else to say, I’ll find another ce for some fresh air.”

“Wait a minute, wait a minute.”

Chance Bell stopped Serena Jennings.

He knew Serena Jennings likely wouldn’t like hearing these words; he wasn’t good at persuasion, either.

“What I’m going to say next, you’ll definitely be interested in.”

Serena Jennings raised an eyebrow, her gaze at Chance Bell full of doubt.

Chance Bell pulled a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, offering one to Serena Jennings.

“Since when did you switch to slim cigarettes?”

Serena Jennings was surprised, seeing Chance Bell silent but smiling.

This reaction let Serena Jennings understand that this pack of slim cigarettes was probably bought deliberately for her.

“I’ve quit smoking for years…”

“For your health?”

“To save money.”

Serena Jennings showed a bitter smile, borrowed a light from Chance Bell, and lit a cigarette.

The familiar taste of smoke took her back, to the time when she was young but rebellious.

“Alright, what is it that I would like to hear? Is the Linton Family bankrupt?”

Serena Jennings’s joke made Chance Bell cry andugh.

“It’s about that ire Shaw…”

Serena Jennings’s fingers tightened on the cigarette, her expression turning serious.

At the other end of the deck, Caleb Lockwood apanied Wendy Linton in watching a romance film at the starlit cinema.

They walked on the deck, and Serena Jennings’s figure smoking at the bow gradually entered their view.

Caleb Lockwood stopped, his eyes lifting.

This was the first time he saw Serena Jennings smoking.

He didn’t know Serena Jennings smoked.

When did she start?

Before? Or did she learnter?

222 Chapter 222: Pushing Serena Jennings Overboard

“People can’t be judged by appearances! I thought she was a good girl!”

Wendy Linton’s words reminded Caleb Lockwood of the college–era Serena Jennings.

At that time, Serena Jennings indeed was a good girl.

Later, she became a housewife after marrying him, also very well–behaved.

So, did Serena Jennings learn to smoke after their divorce?

Just as Serena Jennings was about to finish her cigarette, Caleb Lockwood saw Cynthia Fulton suddenly appear from nowhere, striding furiously straight towards Serena Jennings from behind.

Cynthia Fulton’s actions clearly intended to catch Serena Jennings off guard and push her overboard.

Caleb Lockwood was about to step forward when his arm was suddenly grasped by Wendy Linton.

Caleb Lockwood turned, ring at Wendy Linton, but she smiled brightly.

“Didn’t you say you weren’t still in love with your ex–wife?”

Caleb Lockwood’s expression changed abruptly.

Facing Caleb Lockwood’s frightening anger, Wendy Linton’s smile remained unchanged.

By the time Caleb Lockwood had shaken off Wendy Linton’s hand, Serena Jennings had already pinned the sneaky Cynthia Fulton against the deck railing.

“Let go of me!”

Cynthia Fulton yelled, “Serena Jennings, what exactly do you want? Haven’t you ruined me enough!”

Serena Jennings gripped Cynthia Fulton’s wrist tightly, sneering: “Good at screaming innocent, you were clearly sneaking up trying to

push me overboard when I wasn’t aware.”

Themotion drew quite a crowd over to watch.

“What’s happening?”

Ian ckwood came to stand before Serena Jennings and Cynthia Fulton.

Cynthia Fulton knew Ian ckwood, as he was the head of Veridian International Education.

“Mr. ckwood, save me, this mad woman is trying to push me overboard!”
