41 Chapter 41 : Let's Get Back Together 41 Chapter 41 : Let's Get Back Together Caleb Lockwood's gaze carried a hint of scrutiny , and Serena Jennings guiltily avoided eye contact.1 Giving the ' MacDonald ' Stradivari in public was indeed a bit flashy , but the opportunity was too good to pass up . For her grandfather's sake , even if Caleb Lockwood suspected the source of the money , she was willing to accept it . Recently , Serena Jennings had received a large sum from Peter . Besides the piano series dividends , there were also design fees for a new series , and the piano series recently caught the attention of the Xylos royal family , becoming their official jewelry , earning a substantial sponsorship fee . Serena had wanted to give her grandfather a violin for many years . Without this large sum , she truly couldn't afford it . Just as the funds were available now , she contacted Dylan Shaw . Although Dylan Shaw was young , he was currently the most popular pianist , considered the top among globally renowned pianists . He was well - connected and influential in the circle . And he- Was Serena Jennings ' apprentice . Eventually , Serena spent fifty million USD , converting to roughly 360 million RMB , to purchase the ' MacDonald ' Stradivari . Now , there's only a few million left in her account , but Serena thought this was enough . Her daily expenses were no different from those of a regular employee ; as long as she had enough to cover medical expenses , it would do . At the birthday banquet , apart from the birthday star himself , Serena and the violin she gifted were the most < 41 Chapter 41 : Let's Get Back Together eye - catching . Claire Shaw's face had already turned ashen like a layer of soot . Initially , Lilian Young and Arthur Lockwood were full of praise for the mutton fat jade piece she gifted . But once Serena's gift appeared , no one mentioned Claire's gift anymore . Claire Shaw was also a discerning person ; even conservatively , the ' MacDonald ' Stradivari must be worth over a hundred million . Where did Serena get so much money ! While angrily watching Serena bask in attention , Claire Shaw feigned indifference while observing Caleb Lockwood . The only consolation for her tonight was that Caleb Lockwood hadn't praised Serena all evening . Even after seeing the billion - worth birthday gift Serena gave , Caleb Lockwood didn't show much reaction . After the birthday banquet ended , Caleb Lockwood was summoned to the study by Lance Lockwood . To Caleb Lockwood , his grandfather's study was a dedicated place for discussing business and serious matters . The last time he was called over was three years ago . Back then , his grandfather had said to him in the study , " Since you and the lady who saved your life , Miss Jennings , are in love , you should start planning for marriage ! " The room was filled with the scent of agarwood as Caleb Lockwood saw Lance Lockwood seated sternly at the desk , watching him . " Grandfather , what do you wish to discuss ? " Caleb Lockwood proactively asked . Lance Lockwood wasn't in a hurry , slowly sipping West Lake Longjing tea , saying , " Not much ... You've grown up , you're an independent adult now , I'm old , and I originally didn't want to interfere with you younger ones ... " 15:56 < 41 Chapter 41 : Let's Get Back Together Lance Lockwood barely began , but Caleb Lockwood already sensed the ending . " Grandfather merely wishes to remind you ... Love , as you age , starts to feel less significant ... Your grandfather might lack many things , but he's still sharp at judging people ... Some people , even if you don't love her , might still be the most suitable for you , suitable to be your wife , capable of bringing you good fortune ... That's called having a ' luck - bringing spouse "." " Yes , I understand your words ." Caleb Lockwood maintained a respectful attitude , yet his gaze remained cold . " You're a clever child , you understand everything grandfather said ... " Lance Lockwood took another sip , this time his tone carried a hint of coercion . " Moreover ... No matter what stage you and Serena reach , that Claire Shaw ... as long as I'm alive , I'll never let her in the family , I hope you're aware of this , don't blame your grandfather for not giving you a heads up . " Outside the Lockwood Estate , Serena Jennings gradually bid goodbye to Lance Lockwood's friends and was about to leave . Claire Shaw stood nearby , seemingly idle , but not leaving . Serena knew she was waiting for Caleb Lockwood . Except for last night when she returned with Caleb Lockwood to prepare ahead for the birthday banquet , the rest of the time , Claire Shaw was always inseparable from Caleb Lockwood . Finally , Caleb Lockwood walked out from the manor ; the sky had already turned dark . Serena initially intended to approach Caleb Lockwood to say goodbye . Today , she was still considered the daughter - in - law of the Lockwood Family , and when leaving , she had greeted Arthur Lockwood and Lilian Young , so she felt it necessary not to leave out Caleb Lockwood . " Caleb Lockwood , I'm leaving ... " " I'll take you ." Serena was taken aback . Caleb's handsome face showed no emotion as he spoke to her , then he turned to Claire Shaw who 15.56 3/0 41 Chapter 41 : Let's Get Back Together approached and said , " Mr. Miller will arrive soon , I'll have him take you home . " Claire Shaw's eyes widened . This incredulous expression lasted only briefly . " Hmm , I understand ... " She bowed her head , unable to hide her disappointment. Even Serena thought that the pitiful Claire Shaw could easily evoke one's protective instinct. " Caleb , I understand you , so I won't make it difficult for you . " Claire Shaw said , lifting her face and gazing affectionately into Caleb's eyes . She guessed that Lance Lockwood must have said something to Caleb . Not long after , Mr. Miller arrived . For the first time , Caleb Lockwood had a car but didn't take Claire Shaw home , instead asking Mr. Miller to do it . Although he didn't take Claire Shaw home , he accompanied her to Mr. Miller's car . Their reluctant farewell fell within Serena Jennings ' sight , making her lose interest in riding with Caleb . It wasn't until Mr. Miller's car drove far that Caleb returned to find Serena . " I can go myself ." " I'll take you Caleb Lockwood calmly emphasized , Serena looked at Caleb's cold expression and knew he wasn't willing to take her ; it was likely her grandfather's request . She sighed inwardly , understanding her grandfather's good intentions , but it wasn't necessary . Neither for her nor Caleb Lockwood . Serena , as always , planned to sit in the back seat , but Caleb insisted she sit in the front . 15:56 475 < 41 Chapter 41 : Let's Get Back Together " I need to talk to you ." After saying this , Caleb opened the passenger door for her . Serena had no choice but to sit in . The black Maybach drove swiftly . Ten minutes had passed without a word from Caleb Lockwood ; the atmosphere inside the car was tense . The air - conditioning made her sneeze . " Let's reconcile ! " Serena , covering her mouth , heard those words and immediately turned to look at Caleb . Caleb was driving , eyes on the road . Serena thought she was hearing things until Caleb suddenly repeated : " Let's reconcile ! " " What did you say ? " Caleb abruptly braked ; Serena , fortunately , had her seatbelt on , or she would have been thrown out . The black Maybach stopped by the roadside . Without the streetlights , it blended with the surrounding darkness . Inside the car , Serena felt scared . The area around the Lockwood Estate was desolate ; now it was late at night , and she was alone with Caleb in a confined space . Moreover , despite his words about reconciling , Caleb's face showed no expression of reconciliation , his aura chillingly cold , " Caleb Lockwood , there's no need for us to reconcile . Let's spare each other and proceed with the divorce formalities quickly ... " " Constantly talking about divorce with me , yet spending big money to curry favor with grandfather , so he'd put pressure on me - Serena , you really know how to play your hand . " 16:56 >
