CHAPTER 295: CHAPTER 295: LOOK WHO’S DOWN ON THEIR LUCK NOW

Over the weekend, Serena Jennings arrived at the Kelton District to attend the opening ceremony of Faye Finch’s new store.

The Wellness Pavilion, Faye Finch’s store, has chosen a large venue this time in Kelton District, spanning three floors, quite impressive.

The emperor blue Bentley stabilized in the parking lot, and the first person to get out of the car was Caleb Lockwood.

At this moment, there were also other invited guests around, all of whom were either wealthy or of noble status.

Upon seeing Caleb Lockwood, without exception, they were all surprised.

Caleb Lockwood was declared to leave with nothing in the divorce case, handing over the entire Lockwood Group to Serena Jennings, and this matter quickly spread throughout the business circle.

However, even though Lockwood Group was lost, the other industries of The Lockwood Family were still there. They weren’t surprised by Caleb Lockwood’s presence here.

What surprised them was Caleb Lockwood’s attire.

Caleb Lockwood was dressed in a black suit, but it was an affordable one, and he was wearing a pair of snow-white gloves.

He did not look like the owner of a Bentley.

More like the driver of the owner.

And Caleb Lockwood’s next move confirmed their guess even more.

Caleb Lockwood actively walked to the other side of the car, gentlemanly and respectfully opening the car door, inviting the person inside to get out of the car.

Many people around did not rush into The Wellness Pavilion but stood by their cars looking at the emperor blue Bentley, as if the one about to get out was a major star.

Serena Jennings stepped out of the car and immediately felt the gazes shooting from all around.

However, she couldn’t tell whether these gazes were for her or for Caleb Lockwood.

Caleb Lockwood walked alongside her, but not shoulder to shoulder; instead, he was slightly behind, like a bodyguard ensuring her safety.

"Could the rumors be true?"

Nearby, a bystander couldn’t help but whisper.

"I heard Caleb Lockwood is now Serena Jennings’ assistant."

"Really?"

"Look at the way they are now, it’s most likely true."

"The Lockwood Family can’t be like that, right? Even without the Lockwood Group, Caleb Lockwood doesn’t need to be his ex-wife’s assistant!"

"Are you stupid? Can’t you see Caleb Lockwood is trying every possible way to win back his ex-wife?"

"But The Lockwood Family wanted Caleb Lockwood to marry the daughter of the Minister of Country C, didn’t they?"

"Now that the assets of The Lockwood Family have evaporated, the Linton Family might not consider them anymore!"

"But I heard the daughter of the Linton Family really likes Caleb Lockwood."

"With a face like Caleb Lockwood’s, anyone would like him."

Serena Jennings listened to the murmurs around her and instinctively glanced at Caleb Lockwood.

Caleb Lockwood was now her assistant, quite professional, and since becoming her assistant, he hadn’t worn a single branded piece of clothing, and he specially wore white gloves, fearing others wouldn’t mistake him for a driver.

Yet even so, Caleb Lockwood’s inherent nobility still made him stand out among the wealthy and noble guests.

With Caleb Lockwood escorting her, Serena Jennings walked into The Wellness Pavilion, countless eyes trailing her.

"Actually, you didn’t have to come with me."

Serena Jennings said flatly.

Faye Finch has always had a wide network, and for today’s grand opening, she must have invited many prominent figures from various industries.

And those people all knew Caleb Lockwood.

Now that Caleb Lockwood had become her assistant, appearing in front of these people as an assistant would only become a topic for idle gossip.

"Thank you for being so considerate of me."

Caleb Lockwood’s magnetic voice slipped into Serena Jennings’ ears, like a stream flowing straight to her heart.

Serena Jennings’ face turned cold as she glared at Caleb Lockwood.

"You’re overthinking it."

Even after being glared at, Caleb Lockwood’s elegant smile did not change, instead, it grew deeper.

Serena was genuinely considerate of him.

Even after divorcing him, and despite no longer loving him, she still didn’t want him to be ridiculed.

Caleb Lockwood’s heart began to race a little.

Inside The Wellness Pavilion, the room was filled with elegantly dressed guests.

Faye Finch’s opening ceremony took place in the ground floor banquet hall, where guests were invited to sample The Wellness Pavilion’s health supplements.

A waiter carrying water nearly collided with Serena Jennings, and Caleb Lockwood promptly pulled Serena Jennings’ hand, bringing her into his embrace.

This scene pierced like a nail into the eyes of a few people.

"Serena!"

Ethan White strode over and slapped Caleb Lockwood’s hand away.

Caleb Lockwood’s hand stung fiercely, indicating how angry Ethan White was.

"I didn’t know Faye also invited you."

"Hmm, I didn’t know you were coming either."

Serena Jennings said honestly.

Ethan White didn’t know she was the biological daughter of The Linton Family, and Faye Finch had a good relationship with The Linton Family; even if she wasn’t the new head of Lockwood Group, Faye would have invited her.

Ethan White was here on behalf of their unit this time, so he didn’t ask Serena Jennings to be his date.

He knew about Caleb Lockwood now being Serena’s assistant.

He had frequently cursed Caleb Lockwood privately for being a ghost that wouldn’t go away.

Ethan White naturally held Serena Jennings’ back, heading with her to greet Faye Finch.

Caleb Lockwood walked behind like a follower, only able to watch the backs of Serena and Ethan walking side by side.

"Never thought you’d see a day like this, huh?"

Turning towards the voice, Caleb Lockwood saw Ian Blackwood pushing his gold-rimmed glasses and walking towards him.

The schadenfreude in Ian Blackwood’s smile was unmistakably evident.

Yet Caleb Lockwood didn’t mind much.

"I’m doing pretty well now, even earning a monthly salary of twenty-five hundred!"

Ian Blackwood paused at Caleb Lockwood’s words, then waved his hand.

"You’ve got it wrong... When I said ’a day like this,’ I wasn’t referring to you being an assistant."

Those familiar with The Lockwood Family knew that even without Lockwood Group, as long as Lance Lockwood was alive, The Lockwood Family wouldn’t collapse.

Whether Caleb Lockwood was a CEO or an assistant, it didn’t affect his status as the young master of The Lockwood Family.

"What I meant by ’a day like this’... was that you would also have a day when you’d go to great lengths, lowering your status to chase after someone... and still not succeed, that’s truly something to celebrate."

Retorted by Ian Blackwood, Caleb Lockwood unperturbedly replied:

"As if you’ve succeeded yourself, has Serena ever looked at you even once?"

Both Ian Blackwood and Caleb Lockwood directed their gazes towards Serena Jennings.

Serena was engaged in chitchat with Faye Finch, standing beside Ethan White.

The two of them looked like a perfect match, a couple made in heaven.

The eyes behind Ian Blackwood’s gold-rimmed glasses turned cold and sharp.

"So, is Ethan the one Serena loves now?"

Caleb Lockwood’s expression changed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he answered:

"I don’t know."

Ian Blackwood glanced at Caleb Lockwood, then smiled, "Anyway, it’s definitely not you that Serena loves now, and that makes me happy."

Caleb Lockwood immediately glared at Ian Blackwood.

Ian Blackwood, despite his seemingly gentle appearance, had an extremely nasty personality, especially enjoying seeing him take a hit.

"Serena..."

Ian Blackwood called out to Serena straightforwardly and walked over.

"So is Dr. Page really your boyfriend?"

Bluntly, Ian Blackwood asked in front of Faye Finch.

Serena opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Ethan White answered for her:

"Yes."

Ethan White said just this one word, his tone firm and resolute.

Receiving this response, Ian Blackwood instead curled his lips, turning to glance at Caleb Lockwood.
