28 Chapter 28 : When Will You Get Married As she got closer , she could see that the men were dressed in suits and the women were dressed lavishly . 1 It seemed they were hosting a cocktail party . Some guests at the party noticed Serena because she was the only one wearing a cheap t - shirt and jeans . " Oh my God , Serena , why are you dressed like this ? " Claire Shaw's sharp eyes spotted Serena immediately , and she exclaimed , quickly stepping over in high heels to stand face - to - face with Serena . Today , she wore the latest haute couture from Elie Saab , a nude pink silk strap dress embellished with Swarovski crystals , both graceful and noble . In contrast to Serena in jeans , the difference in class was clear . " Sister - in - law , why bother with her ? " Patrick Rhodes approached Claire Shaw , giving Serena a once - over . " This is such an important cocktail party , and you're dressed like this . You're intentionally trying to embarrass Brother Lockwood , aren't you ? " " Patrick , don't say that . Serena isn't that kind of person ! " Claire Shaw explained in a soft and gentle voice . " She's struggling out there on her own right now , cut off from the Lockwood Family's financial support . How could she afford a gown ! " Claire Shaw's face , made up like a Barbie doll , showed " sincere " concern . She even wanted to take Serena's hand , but Serena dodged it . " Serena , if you ever have difficulties , feel free to talk to me . It's just a dress , after all . Caleb has given me many , you can choose any you like . " Claire Shaw's hypocritical attitude made Serena nauseous . She wanted to leave but was blocked by Patrick . < 28 Chapter 28 : When Will You Get Married " Sister - in - law is treating you so well , and you don't even say thank you . No wonder Brother Lockwood always thinks you lack proper manners ." Among the guests , Peter and Justin Nash were also present . Peter was there representing FY , and Justin Nash was invited as the new president of Starlight Media . Neither of them expected to see Serena here . It might have been manageable if Claire Shaw alone had blocked Serena's way , but now there was Patrick , a large man , too . Peter and Justin Nash simultaneously wanted to help Serena . Patrick was still flaunting in front of Serena when someone suddenly grabbed him by the back of his collar . " Brother Lockwood ? " Seeing Caleb Lockwood coming , Claire Shaw immediately held onto Caleb Lockwood's arm . Caleb Lockwood looked at Serena , sizing her up just like Patrick did , but his gaze was much sharper . " Weren't you planning to divorce me ? Yet , in a setting like this , you show up to play the hostess . " Caleb Lockwood's voice was still indifferent , and his mocking tone was as harsh as ever . " Her ? Hostess ? " Patrick sneered , " She's more like sister - in - law's maid . " Serena couldn't be bothered to acknowledge Patrick . Her clothes were indeed too simple , and could not compete with the well - dressed Claire Shaw . Glancing inadvertently , she noticed Lilian Young . Lilian Young happened to be looking her way too , and as their eyes met , she guiltily turned her face away . The reason Serena came to the old residence today was because Lilian Young called her . Said grandpa wasn't feeling well , and there was no medicine at home, asking her to get some . The old residence had caregivers specifically for grandpa and servants too . But since it was about grandpa , Serena didn't refuse . Now it seemed , Lilian Young did it on purpose . 28 Chapter 28 : When Will You Get Married Intentionally arranged for her to come to the estate at this time , to contrast with the lavishly dressed Claire Shaw . Serena shrugged and smiled , unconcerned . " I just love wearing cheap t - shirts and jeans ; none of you can control me ... Besides , I'm not here for the cocktail party , it's because your mom asked me to bring medicine to grandpa ." Serena explained this to Caleb Lockwood , while Patrick waved his hand dismissively . " Don't use others as an excuse , if you want to see Brother Lockwood just say so , if you can't afford a gown just admit it , this will only make Brother Lockwood dislike you more ." After speaking , Caleb Lockwood chuckled . Caleb Lockwood's alluring smile had never been so heart - wrenching . Serena was speechless , she walked between Caleb Lockwood and Claire Shaw , striding towards the mansion . " This Serena is so cunning , with such a big space not choosing to walk , she intentionally goes between sister- in - law and Brother Lockwood . " Patrick complained indignantly . Lance Lockwood didn't expect Serena to come today . After hearing the background , he realized that Serena had been tricked by Lilian Young . " Serena , what brand of dress do you want ? Grandpa will give you . " Lance Lockwood took out his phone to make a call , " My granddaughter - in - law isn't someone to be belittled by some random people . " Serena quickly stopped him ; she really didn't care about a dress , and she could afford it . She didn't care whether Claire Shaw or Patrick looked down on her . As for Caleb Lockwood ... Serena sighed , changed the subject , inquired about grandpa's recent health , and reminded him to take his medication timely . Upon exiting the mansion , the cocktail party outside hadn't ended . Claire Shaw was holding Caleb Lockwood's arm , surrounded by several people . 28 Chapter 28 : When Will You Get Married These people looked like Claire Shaw and Caleb Lockwood's high school classmates , also quite familiar with Patrick . " When you two broke up after graduation , do you know how distressed we were ? " " Especially Patrick , he wanted to fly abroad to bring Claire back for Brother Lockwood . " " It's all in the past , no point mentioning it . What's important is Claire is back , it's like a broken mirror renewed . " " When do you plan to get married ? You both aren't getting any younger . " Surrounded by envy and blessings from her high school friends , Claire Shaw wore a blissful expression. Knowing Serena was nearby , she purposely said shyly , " I have no objection , it's all up to Caleb ... Others , hearing Claire's words , began to egg them on . " Brother Lockwood , Claire is nudging you ! " " Could it already be in the works ? " " No honest confession , and we won't give a red envelope ! " " Who are you scaring , Brother Lockwood isn't short of that red envelope money , right ? " Serena listened silently as these people nearly set the wedding date for Caleb Lockwood and Claire Shaw , her fingertips growing cold . She and Caleb Lockwood hadn't married secretly . But when they did marry , it wasn't a grand affair - only family relatives and a few friends were aware . Aside from Patrick , most of Caleb Lockwood's high school classmates were abroad helping their families with business , so they didn't know Caleb Lockwood was already married . And Caleb Lockwood's behavior also didn't seem like that of a married man . Serena felt she was pathetic , eavesdropping on this for what ? Elsewhere , Lilian Young approached with a cocktail , joining the conversation . < 28 Chapter 28 : When Will You Get Married " Claire is indeed a good child , just for her buying supplements from The Wellness Pavilion for me while I was hospitalized , she deserves to be my daughter - in - law of the Lockwood Family . " " The Wellness Pavilion ... is that the brand created by the world's top nutritionist ? " Patrick was astounded , " It's said their supplements are not only exorbitantly priced but also limited edition , you can't buy them with money alone !" " Claire , you're incredible ! " The crowd followed suit , praising Claire Shaw . Lilian Young felt proud , as if her daughter - in - law was being praised . " What are you all talking about ? " Suddenly , an elegantly dressed yet conservative lady interrupted : " I have never sold supplements to Miss Shaw . " 1 12 Comment 1 Leave the first comment for this chapter . Vote
