46 Chapter 46 : She Wasn't Wearing Anything The drunken man's name is Dylan Quinn , though he wasn't drunk today , his gaze at Serena Jennings was still so lewd it made her uncomfortable . 1 No matter what , Serena couldn't have imagined he would be the first to make the false accusation . " You were the one harassing me , and that's why I hit you . Officer , there are surveillance cameras in the club , you can pull them up and see for yourself . " Even after hearing that , Dylan Quinn still crossed his arms smugly , confident in his stance . " We've already watched the surveillance ; we didn't see him molest you , we only saw you kick him . " The officer's words stunned Serena . Even if the footage had been tampered with , the police should have been able to investigate and find out . This only proved the police were in cahoots with Dylan Quinn . Serena faced detention , and the officers required her to inform her family . Clutching her phone , Serena's knuckles turned pale with tension . Her family ... Her mother had Alzheimer's and was in a nursing home . Other than that ... The only one left was Caleb Lockwood . Serena really didn't want to inform Caleb Lockwood about her impending detention . This issue would have a massive impact on her career and reputation . Even if she wanted to divorce Caleb Lockwood , she couldn't gamble with her own life . " Mr. Quinn , I think we can settle last night's incident privately . How much medical compensation do you want ? I'll pay ." < 46 Chapter 46 : She Wasn't Wearing Anything Serena took the initiative to approach Dylan Quinn . Clearly , it was Dylan Quinn who was being a creep last night she wasn't in the wrong . But the world isn't just black and white , and Serena couldn't afford to suffer immediate losses . If money could solve it , she wouldn't be stingy . Dylan Quinn looked Serena up and down , grinned , " Then just buy me a meal , once we're done , all accounts . squared ." That simple ? Serena was suspicious . The day they reached the settlement , Serena along with Dylan Quinn went to the restaurant specified by him . It was quite an upscale hotel . No matter how upscale , Serena was confident she could afford it , so she had no objections to whatever Dylan Quinn ordered . This meal was not just the two of them ; it also included the chief of the Nanning police station . Serena guessed Dylan Quinn was probably afraid she'd slip away . Serena could handle her drink , but she wasn't immune to its effects . During the meal , Dylan Quinn knocked back quite a few drinks with her , and knowing his intentions weren't good , she sought to leave before completely losing her senses . " Hey , pretty girl , the meal isn't over yet , you can't leave ! " Dylan Quinn blocked Serena's path , raising his arm to try and grab her waist . Feeling hazy , Serena grabbed the bottle from the table and smashed it down hard onto Dylan Quinn's head . The hotel suddenly erupted into chaos . Serena , her head heavy , took the opportunity to run out , her stomach churning , and could not help but squat by the roadside to vomit . 15:58 217 46 Chapter 46 : She Wasn't Wearing Anything Vomiting , she reached for her phone , intending to call Lana Xavier . The police were untrustworthy , she could only rely on friends . However , foggy - headed from vomiting , she unknowingly dialed Caleb Lockwood's number . Caleb Lockwood was currently dining with Claire Shaw . His phone was on vibrate , buzzing incessantly . " Who is it ? Is it work - related ? " Claire Shaw asked curiously . Caleb Lockwood glanced at the phone , a flicker of emotion crossed his eyes . " Nothing , just a spam call ." Caleb Lockwood hung up the call . In front of the hotel , Serena saw Lana Xavier wasn't picking up , she decided to try getting a taxi by herself . Yet she felt that in her current state , taking a taxi alone wasn't safe . Finding a long bench , she sat down , her body slumping to one side , and unknowingly fell asleep . During this nap , she had an exceptionally chaotic dream . In the dream , Serena was fighting with someone and being chased . She ran desperately but couldn't shake off the pursuer . When she opened her eyes , she was covered in cold sweat . Serene was jolted awake from fright . Memory gaps quickly filled in , Serena remembered she had fallen asleep on an outside bench . But now she was in a room , lying in a bed . This wasn't Lana Xavier's place . Nor was it her own home . However , the familiar ceiling was not foreign to her . 15.68 3/2 < 46 Chapter 46 : She Wasn't Wearing Anything Because that crystal chandelier was chosen by her mother - in - law . This was The Jade Pavilion- The marital home she shared with Caleb Lockwood . Serena's mind struggled to process the current situation . She glanced under the covers . She wasn't wearing anything . " You vomited all over yourself , so I threw away your clothes ." Caleb Lockwood appeared at the master bedroom door , Serena shivered at the sound of his voice . Caleb's dark eyes carried a hint of ink , as he walked in , handing Serena some pajamas . Serena put on the pajamas under the covers , provoking a cold laugh from Caleb Lockwood . " Afraid I'll see ? " Serena didn't answer , she heard Caleb Lockwood snicker once more . She didn't know how she got here . Did Caleb Lockwood bring her back ? Caleb Lockwood said she vomited all over herself , she somewhat remembered . But there was no foul smell on her now , instead she smelled the clean scent of shower gel . The scent was minty . Caleb Lockwood liked using mint - scented shower gel , which was why she always bought it . Did Caleb Lockwood help bathe her when she was drunk ? After all , The Jade Pavilion unlike The Lockwood Family's old manor , had no servants . Serena's cheeks flushed slightly , with a belly full of questions for Caleb Lockwood . But when the words came to her mouth , she didn't know how to ask them . 15:58 414 < 46 Chapter 46 : She Wasn't Wearing Anything In the end , it was Caleb Lockwood who spoke first . " Do you know who the man you hit with the bottle is ? " Serena was startled , she hadn't explained the cause and effect . Since Caleb Lockwood knew about it already , given his influence , he could figure out the details even without her explaining . " I only know his name is Dylan Quinn ." Serena answered truthfully . Caleb Lockwood shrugged with a smile , " Dylan Quinn is the president of Riverbend Properties , which partners with Lockwood Group on a project ... now Dylan Quinn is hospitalized after your encounter , and the project with Lockwood Group is temporarily on hold ..." Serena's face turned increasingly grim . But she saw no blame or reproach in Caleb Lockwood's exceptionally handsome face . Caleb Lockwood didn't linger long in the bedroom . Serena's behavior made him feel she wouldn't come out from the covers while he was there . As he reached the door , he nonchalantly turned back and asked Serena : " Mr. Quinn claims you seduced him . " " Ha ? " Serena laughed with incredulity , retorting to Caleb Lockwood , " Do you believe him ? " Caleb Lockwood shook his head , " I don't believe it . You're bad at other things but you have good taste in men . " This statement didn't feel like a compliment to Serena , only Caleb Lockwood's narcissism . Serena didn't want to stay in this house for too long , After lunch , she went to work . 15.58 617 < 46 Chapter 46 : She Wasn't Wearing Anything Once she reached the company , she overheard Claire Shaw boasting to Christine Warren and the others that Caleb Lockwood had taken her to a very authentic , hard - to - book Sichuan restaurant for lunch . But in Serena's memory , Caleb Lockwood never ate spicy food due to his gastritis . This was something his mother repeatedly warned Serena about . It seemed , Caleb Lockwood could change anything for Claire Shaw . The busy day for the working crowd always ended with the sun sinking to the west . The evening glow bathed the glass curtain walls of The Lockwood Group's office building , changing their color . Serena was busy until nearly the end of the workday when she sensed something unusual . Caleb Lockwood hadn't come out of his office all afternoon , nor had he asked her to make coffee . This made Caleb Lockwood seem rather strange , Serena approached his office , and through the clean frosted glass window , she didn't see a shadow of Caleb Lockwood . " President Lockwood ? " She called from the doorway . There was no response from inside . " President Lockwood ! Are you there ? " Serena knocked strongly . The silence inside remained unchanged , eerily quiet as if no one was there . An inexplicable sense of foreboding rose up , Serena directly pushed the door open .
