25 Chapter 25 : Slapping Serena Jennings in the Face The suits were bought for him by Serena Jennings , from a brand he wasn't familiar with , made of wool , very classy.1 Caleb Lockwood found all six suits bought for him by Serena Jennings , then made a call to Mr. Miller . Mr. Miller hurried over to The Jade Pavilion , thinking it was an urgent matter for the company , only to find Caleb handing him six suits . " These clothes are for you , if you don't like them , you can give them away or throw them out . " Caleb's tone was cold ; Mr. Miller felt Caleb was suppressing his rage . The suits looked like luxury items and seemed unworn , so naturally , Mr. Miller wouldn't throw them away . Full of doubt , he finally just said to Caleb , " Thank you , President Lockwood . " After dealing with the annoying suits , Caleb thought he'd feel relieved , but was still anxious enough to want to smoke . When he was on his third cigarette , he received a call from his father . Meanwhile , Serena Jennings , at FY , was about to contact Justin Nash , when several black - suited men burst into the conference room . Serena was taken aback . She recognized all these men in black suits . They were the Lockwood family's bodyguards . Two hours later , Serena appeared at Arthur Lockwood's villa . Arthur Lockwood was Caleb's father , hence her father - in - law . In the villa were also her mother - in - law Lilian Young , her second aunt Lucy Warren , and Caleb . " Serena , I , Lilian Young , must have been blind not to realize you were a snake in the grass ! " Lilian slammed her phone on the coffee table in anger . 25 Chapter 25 : Slapping Serena Jennings in the face The phone screen was on , showing a hot search topic about Serena . " Tell me , with your poor family background , if it wasn't for you being Caleb's lifesaver back then , do you think I'd have agreed to let you in ? " " Since you married into the Lockwood family , we've given you good food and drinks , without needing you to go out and work , but here you are , not grateful , and daring to cheat , putting a green hat on our Caleb ! " The more Lilian spoke , the angrier she got , pacing around the living room ; if not for maintaining her image , she'd have slapped Serena a few times to vent . " So kids should find a match from families of equal stature . If Caleb had married Claire Shaw back then , wouldn't this scandal not have happened today ? " Lucy chimed in while munching on sunflower seeds . Though Serena expected criticism from the Lockwood family on her way here , she didn't expect Caleb to be present , nor Claire to again be used for comparison . Whatever Lilian and the rest said didn't really matter to Serena ; she just silently watched Caleb , wanting to see his reaction . But there was none from Caleb . His cold eyes were as calm as still water , as if it didn't matter even if she had truly cheated with Justin . Serena awkwardly averted her gaze , then heard Arthur ask her , " Serena , what's going on here ? Did you really cheat ? " Serena opened and closed her mouth , debating internally how to respond . She wanted to divorce Caleb , and if she falsely claimed she did , the divorce might actually happen . But she'd bear the stigma of infidelity forever , which was unfair and to her disadvantage . Caleb was the one who actually cheated . Moreover , admitting would negatively impact Justin . Thinking it over , Serena decided to tell the truth : " I didn't cheat ; Justin Nash is just a friend . He found a new job , and I wanted to give him a congratulatory gift ... " < 25 Chapter 25 : Slapping Serena Jennings in the Face " Holding hands , yet you call it just friendship ? " Lucy interrupted Serena , spitting sunflower seed shells . Arthur and Lilian's expressions grew worse . Beside them , Caleb remained indifferent . At least his face showed no emotion . " These marketing accounts fabricate stories from nothing , exaggerating things , starting with one picture and making up the rest . I was about to slip , and Justin Nash just helped me , that's all ." Serena naturally wouldn't tell the Lockwood family she was absent - mindedly thinking about Caleb when Justin pulled her away . After hearing Serena's words , Arthur felt relieved inwardly . He actually believed Serena . The Lockwoods had seen how much Serena loved Caleb . Back when Caleb had a car accident , Serena not only saved his life but also dropped out of school for him, became a diligent housewife after marriage , and managed the household - a dutiful and considerate daughter - in - law . " Even if today's hot search is fake , as Caleb's wife , our family's daughter - in - law , it was wrong for you to act inappropriately and pull with other men outside . Do you know how much the Lockwood Group's stock fell because of this hot search ?! " Arthur placed blame on Serena which she didn't understand . " Dad , no one online knows I'm the Lockwood family's daughter - in - law , so the Lockwood Group's stock dropping shouldn't be my fault . " Arthur originally just wanted to scold Serena a bit , asserting authority as an elder , but hearing her response infuriated him . " You dare talk back ! If the stock's fall isn't your fault , whose is it ? If you were truly beneficial to your husband , would our stock still fall ?! " 1 Serena hadn't expected Arthur to erupt suddenly . 13:30 3/5 25 Chapter 25 : Slapping Serena Jennings in the Face It seemed Lockwood recently wasn't doing well , and she's become the scapegoat . " Serena really needs discipline ; you've been too indulgent with her , " Lucy chimed in . Lilian strongly agreed . " Blame Serena's mom for not guiding her well ! Speaking of her mom , who's had dementia for long and stayed in an upscale nursing home - the expenses are all covered by us , the Lockwoods . Serena and her mom are both leeches ! " Caleb frowned at these words , just as he called out " Mom ," Serena stepped forward . " Quite the education indeed , Caleb committed adultery with his mistress , causing his wife's unborn child to perish . If you think I've drained you financially , great , have your son sign the divorce papers quickly , so I can move on to my second spring ." 1 Serena's rapid - fire words stunned Lilian Young . Beside her , Arthur and Lucy were also dumbfounded . " Serena ! " Caleb couldn't help but yell . But at this point , Serena had no reason to hide anything . " I've already asked your son for a divorce , but he's unwilling . " Serena declared resolutely . Lilian's face turned green , " What did you say? You want a divorce from my son ? You ... you you you ... " Unable to catch her breath , Lilian fainted from anger . Serena never expected Lilian to be so easily provoked . As Caleb shouted " Mom " and rushed over to support the unconscious Lilian , Serena saw the resentment in Caleb's eyes directed at her . Lilian was taken to the nearby eighth hospital by ambulance . Feeling somewhat responsible , Serena also took a cab over . In the corridor , as Serena looked for the ward , she happened to see Caleb coming out , and they faced each other . 13.30 415 25 Chapter 25 : Slapping Serena Jennings in the Face " You have the nerve to come ? " Caleb's voice was icy .
