48 Chapter 48 : Marrying a Divorced Woman The body of Serena Jennings stiffened in Caleb's arms . 1 Caleb Lockwood squinted , a smile that was both charming and wicked on his lips . " Isn't that Nash family's eldest son at the door ? " Serena was picked up and thrown onto the bed by Caleb Lockwood . " Clearly in love with me , yet stringing along that innocent young man . Might as well let me break his heart . " His strong body pinned Serena down tightly ; she looked at Caleb in horror , her face pale . " Let him listen to the sounds of our love - making . What do you think , isn't it a good idea ? " Outside the door , Justin Nash paced back and forth until he heard the sound of something shattering from inside . " Serena ! Serena , are you okay ? " He knocked on the door hard . There was no response from inside . Justin panicked and took out his phone intending to call the police. At that moment , the door opened , and Caleb Lockwood stood at the entrance , his lip bleeding . Justin noticed Caleb was shirtless , only a towel wrapped around his waist , and his anger flared up instantly . " What the hell did you do to Serena ! " Caleb nonchalantly smiled at Justin . " I'm her husband . I can do whatever I want with her , it's none of your business ." In the bedroom , Serena quickly tidied her clothes and ran out , only to find Caleb and Justin already fighting . Unable to separate them , she had no choice but to call the police . The three of them ended up at the police station together . < 48 Chapter 48 : Marrying a Divorced Woman ( 6 ) Although Justin was beaten the worst , he was the one who had started the fight , so he was responsible . " Caleb Lockwood , it's all my fault . Can't you not hold Justin responsible ? " Seeing Serena humble herself for Justin , Caleb sneered . " No. " " Serena , don't beg him . I'm fine . I just regret not beating him to death ." Justin continued to talk tough , but Serena couldn't bear to see him left with a criminal record because of her . " If I don't mention divorce anymore and move back to The Jade Pavilion , will you let Justin off ? " After Serena said that , the police station fell silent . Justin looked at Serena incredulously . He knew Serena was prepared to file for divorce after two years of separation , and if she went back now , it would all be for nothing . Just as he was about to persuade Serena , Caleb spoke first : " You really think you're that important ." Caleb's voice was calm , but the impact on Serena was immense . She looked at Caleb , whose deep eyes were cold enough to scrape off frost . " Am I afraid of you getting a divorce ? Are you deluded enough to think you can leverage it against me ... " Serena lowered her head in embarrassment . At that moment , people from both the Lockwood and Nash families arrived , along with Claire Shaw , crowding the police station instantly . Lilian Young was the most emotionally unstable of them all . One moment lamenting Caleb's injuries , the next cursing Serena for being a jinx , bringing nothing but trouble . Arthur Lockwood and Nolan Nash stood together , seemingly chatting pleasantly despite the circumstances . 15:50 2/6 < 48 Chapter 48 : Marrying a Divorced Woman Claire Shaw stayed by Caleb Lockwood's side , shedding tears as if she were the one beaten up . Serena left the police station . With Justin's mother . This was Serena's first meeting with Justin's mother , a dignified and graceful woman . " I'm sorry ... it's all my fault that Justin got involved ... " Serena apologized proactively . " This isn't your fault , it's Justin who's too impulsive . " Feeling comforted , Serena was a bit surprised . The two walked outside the police station for a while , and Iris Irving found a bench to sit on . Serena knew the other party had something to say to her . " Miss Jennings , I hope you won't have any more contact with Justin in the future ." Iris's voice was gentle , her demeanor kindly . However , Serena was acutely aware that she had no choice but to comply . " I'm aware of your relationship with President Lockwood ; as a married woman , your affairs with your husband shouldn't involve a third party . Even if one day you get divorced , I wouldn't be able to allow Justin to marry a divorced woman ... do you understand ? " Seeing Serena's face change subtly, Iris further comforted her : " Don't blame me for being blunt , for Justin is still young and immature ; as parents , we all wish our children avoid the hard road ... Miss Jennings , you are beautiful and compassionate, I'm sure you can empathize with my feelings ... of course , I'm also deeply grateful to Miss Jennings for helping Justin return to inherit the family business ... " Serena saw Iris take out a bank card from her purse . " Since Miss Jennings is President Lockwood's wife , offering too little for gratitude would seem insincere . " She handed the card to Serena . " There are fifty million here , Miss Jennings , rest assured that this money has been notarized at the notary 15.50 318 < 48 Chapter 48 : Marrying a Divorced Woman office as a personal gift to you , unrelated to President Lockwood . " In other words , this fifty million didn't count as marital property . Serena never expected Justin's mother , despite her serene appearance , to be so astutely calculating . What she feared was Serena pestering Justin after a divorce . " Don't worry , I won't see Justin anymore ." Serena felt like she'd swallowed bitter medicine . After all , Justin was a sincere friend she'd made . " But the money isn't necessary , " she declined . " Well , it still is ." Iris insisted , " I won't be at ease unless you accept it ? " " Alright , I'll take it . " To buy her reassurance , Serena didn't refuse any further . By the time they returned to the police station , Justin had already been taken away by Nolan Nash . Serena didn't even get the chance to say goodbye , feeling a sense of loss . Beside her , Caleb Lockwood's expression was unkind . Yet, given the nature of their circles , there wasn't much he could do to Justin in the end . Arthur Lockwood at least managed to secure tangible benefits for Lockwood Group through all this , not a total loss . Caleb's gaze fell on Serena's face . It wasn't hard to guess what Justin's mother said to Serena . Seeing Serena's desolate expression , he turned to Claire and asked , " Want to go fishing at sea ? " Claire looked surprised , " Now ? " " Yes ." 15.59 416 < 48 Chapter 48 : Marrying a Divorced Woman " But your injury ... " " It's okay , I'm in a good mood now . " " Alright then ! " Claire smiled brightly , clasping Caleb's arm , and walked past Serena . But Serena didn't notice , remaining trapped in the inevitable grief of losing Justin as a friend . Outside the police station , Caleb drove with Claire in silence , a fact Claire found unusual . Justin was brought home and informed by his mother that Serena had accepted fifty million from their family , as compensation for severing ties . Justin didn't believe it and made a fuss wanting to see Serena , but was guarded at home , with bodyguards monitoring him all day for reflection . Despite feeling reluctant , Serena deleted Justin from her social media . Lana Xavier , upon hearing the news , cursed both the Lockwood and Nash families all night . " That's why none of the rich are good people ! " Serena thought the rich were innocently implicated . " Not necessarily ? " " Then tell me , which rich person is good ? " Serena thought of herself . With tens of millions in savings and annual dividends in the millions , she was considered wealthy , right ? After chatting with Lana Xavier , she felt better , but her good mood didn't last long before it was shattered by a job transfer notification . 15.59
