32 Chapter 32 : Begging the One She Least Wants to Beg 32 Chapter 32 : Begging the One She Least Wants to Beg Serena and Justin didn't even change their clothes and headed straight to the police station . As soon as they entered the room , Serena saw Lana sitting obediently in front of the desk with a black eye . " Lana ! " Serena rushed over and hugged Lana tightly . " How did you end up getting beaten like this ! " Serena's eyes were blazing with anger . She already learned from the police that Lana had been in a fight . And coincidentally , the opponents were Lily and Owen . As the saying goes , enemies are bound to meet . After work , when Lana was taking a walk and shopping , she overheard Lily and Owen badmouthing Serena behind her back , using incredibly harsh words . Unable to hold back , she confronted them , and the argument escalated into a physical fight . The police brought all three back to take statements , but it was Lana who threw the first punch . Seeing Serena clenching her fists , Lana couldn't help but laugh , " Don't say I didn't warn you , this is the police station . " She knew Serena practiced martial arts and wasn't usually impulsive , but when she was , she was scarier than anyone . " Don't worry , those two bitches are more hurt than I am ." Serena , who initially didn't believe Lana , thought Lana was just trying to comfort her . But when Lily and Owen came out , Serena almost burst into laughter . " You did quite a number on them , turned them into pigs . " Receiving praise , Lana felt proud , even with a panda eye . 13.34 Claim 1 Fast Pass reward at the Mission Contert " Lily ! Owen ! " Wants to Beg Suddenly , a familiar shout made Serena and Lana simultaneously stop laughing . Claire entered the police station , followed by Caleb . Caleb wasn't surprised to see Serena . When Claire told him that Lily and Owen had been beaten by Lana , he had guessed he'd see Serena there . However , he hadn't expected Justin to be there too . Caleb's gaze lingered between Justin and Serena . The other day , when he first saw Justin with Serena at the sushi restaurant , he knew Justin was the eldest Nash son . Their circle was so small , everyone knew who was who even if they hadn't met . He even knew Justin was having conflicts with his family at the time . So , Justin dressed like an ordinary college student , rarely wearing suits . Now , although he had regained his upper - class status , the formal tailcoat he wore today was clearly for a special occasion- Like a date . Looking at Serena again , Caleb's gaze became more intense . Caleb had never seen this black sequined dress on Serena before , it wasn't something he had bought her . He always bought her pink clothes , and Serena never bought clothes for herself . The reason Caleb always bought pink was because he was used to giving Claire pink clothes back in high school . He didn't understand women's fashion , he only knew Claire's preferences . He assumed all women loved wearing pink . So ... 13:34 32 Chapter 32 : Begging the One She Least Wants to Beg Does Serena like black ? This question lingered in Caleb's mind for just a few seconds . Serena's black dress was not only a color she didn't usually wear , its style was rare too . Deep V and backless - if Serena dressed like this before , her mom would have definitely scolded her for being inappropriate . Yet , on Serena , it exuded a sexy elegance . Being stared at by Caleb made Serena uncomfortable , forcing her to turn away . Caleb noticed that even with heavy makeup , Serena couldn't hide her swollen eyes . As long as Justin wasn't blind or stupid , he should be able to guess what Serena and he did last night . Caleb smiled faintly , feeling better . Beside him , Claire , seeing Lily and Owen's pig - headed state , cried pitifully . Caleb took out a tissue and gently wiped her tears away . " Caleb , Lily and Owen are my best friends , you have to stand up for them ! " Claire sobbed as she held Caleb's hand . " In public , you're holding the hand of someone else's husband , have you no shame ? " Lana had long wanted to snap at Claire , and she finally got the chance . Serena immediately tugged on Lana's sleeve , shaking her head . Now wasn't the time to offend Claire ; behind her was Caleb , and the Lockwood Group was influential . She didn't want Lana to end up with a criminal record because of her . Claire bit her jelly - like lips , trying to pull her hand back , but Caleb gripped it tightly . " Jerk ! " Lana couldn't help but mutter . Caleb held Claire's hand while talking to the police , but his eyes remained on Serena . " Sergeant Lee , lock this person up . " 19:34 < 32 Chapter 32 : Begging the One She Least Wants to Beg " You can't lock her up ! " Serena was anxious , " Officer , we can pay to settle this ..." " How much can you pay ? " Caleb asked Serena with a smile , " Whose money are you using ? " " Certainly not yours . " Justin slapped a Black Card on the table . Lana didn't dare to make a sound beside them , her previous bravado gone . She was from an ordinary family , if Caleb really demanded a hefty amount , selling both her kidneys wouldn't suffice . As for Serena , she'd been a housewife for years , spending only Caleb's money . As for Justin , he had money , but his interest lay with Serena . Lana knew Serena currently had no such feelings for Justin and didn't want Serena owing him any favors . Serena bent down , returned the Black Card to Justin , then calmly told Caleb , " I've already mailed back all the money and things you gave me before . Now , none of the money I spend is yours ... Name your price , how much for a settlement ... Whatever you ask , I'll pay . " The police station suddenly fell silent . Everyone was staring at Serena . Including Caleb . He furrowed his brows slightly , feeling Serena wasn't just putting up a front . Serena was calculating in her mind . Her bank account balance was in the millions - a fortune for ordinary people , but not even a minor target for Caleb . If Caleb really demanded billions for a settlement ... Serena gritted her teeth . She'd have to turn to the person she least wanted to beg . After a long silence , Caleb let out a soft laugh , then asked Claire beside him , ༦༢༢༢I < 32 Chapter 32 : Begging the One She Least Wants to Beg " What do you think ? I'll go with your decision . " Claire delicately wiped her tears and told Caleb , " We don't lack money . I just want the perpetrator to receive the punishment they deserve . " This righteous statement pleased Caleb , and Serena saw the admiration in Caleb's eyes for Claire . " That's right , we don't accept a settlement , no matter the amount ." " Caleb ... " " Serena , stop . If being jailed is the decision , so be it . Who says I'm scared ?! " Lana stopped Serena . But Serena still wanted to try one more time . " Caleb , locking Lana up won't benefit you at all . Aren't businessmen supposed to seek returns ? " As Lana was about to be taken away by the police , Serena picked up her phone . But before she could make the call , Caleb's low , indifferent voice came from behind . " I don't have to lock her up unless ... " The first ray of morning sunlight awakened City A , as white - collar workers began another busy day . The Lockwood Group . CEO's office . Patrick was sitting across Caleb , sipping coffee . " I say , Brother Lockwood , aren't you afraid of pissing off your wife by bringing that old hag into the company ? " Comment 0 12:25
