First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Beating Caleb Lockwood Without Giving Him a Chance to Fight Back

Serena Jennings answered the phone with some confusion and wariness.

Caleb Lockwood’s voice came through the phone:

"Mr. Miller, I’m on Anqian Road..."

The abrupt mention of "Mr. Miller" left Serena dumbfounded.

But soon, Serena realized that Caleb had dialed the wrong number.

The call wasn’t meant for her; it was meant for Mr. Miller.

Though Serena listened intently to what Caleb said next, she still couldn’t hear clearly.

The voice coming through was intermittent, and Serena felt that something was off with Caleb; his voice seemed to be trembling.

The white BMW 3 Series restarted under the night sky, speeding off.

Anqian Road.

There were few people on this road at this time.

Serena initially thought Caleb would be hard to find because she didn’t catch his specific location clearly.

However, she underestimated the powerful presence of the royal blue Bentley.

As soon as she drove onto Anqian Road, she spotted the conspicuous Bentley.

The Bentley was parked on the roadside with its hazard lights flashing.

After parking her car, Serena walked over to the royal blue Bentley and knocked on the driver’s side window.

"Caleb?"

No one responded, so Serena directly opened the car door.

A strong smell of alcohol hit her in the face.

Serena coughed twice from the irritation.

Caleb was sitting inside, leaned against the seat back, with his eyes closed.

Whether he neglected to use the seat belt or had already undone it, Caleb was not wearing one.

His suit was rumpled, the tie had been yanked off, and even a few buttons on his shirt were missing, exposing elegantly shaped collarbones and a trembling Adam’s apple.

Caleb appeared not to be asleep, even though his eyes were closed.

Serena noticed Caleb’s face was extremely red, unusually so, and he was sweating profusely, looking as if he were soaked.

He frowned, his lips slightly parted as he breathed with difficulty.

In any case, Caleb’s current state seemed abnormal, leaving Serena momentarily unsure of what to do.

"Caleb, can you recognize me? It’s Serena..."

"..."

"You dialed the wrong number and reached me. I called Mr. Miller afterward, but he didn’t answer..."

Serena softly explained the reason she was there when suddenly, her collar was fiercely grabbed by Caleb.

She didn’t have time to react; Caleb had already pulled her over.

A warmth spread over her lips as Caleb kissed her.

The kiss was intense from the start; Serena felt as if Caleb wanted not to kiss her but to devour her.

Serena wasn’t resisting, yet Caleb’s kiss was still rough.

Before Serena could push Caleb away, he had already shoved her aside.

Once pushed away, Serena belatedly noticed Caleb’s wounded hand.

Caleb’s palm was covered in blood, staining her clothes.

"Caleb, what’s going on with you?"

Serena saw Caleb stagger out of the car, his gaze like that of a starved beast finally finding its prey.

In Serena’s impression, Caleb had never looked at her with such eyes.

Caleb had strong desires, but even when they hadn’t divorced, he’d never craved her so fiercely.

Serena’s skin prickled with goosebumps.

She felt scared.

Caleb approaching her now was clearly unusual and not fully conscious.

Yet she couldn’t just leave Caleb like this.

Serena didn’t have much time to hesitate before Caleb grabbed her head again and forcefully kissed her.

Serena struggled, but the more she struggled, the rougher Caleb became.

The metallic taste spread in her mouth, and Serena realized Caleb had bitten her lip.

"Caleb, have you gone mad?"

Serena had barely pushed Caleb away when he grabbed her shoulder forcefully.

The more he suppressed it, the more desperately he wanted to release the burning desire inside.

He tightened his hand, pierced by shattered glass.

The pain brought a moment of clarity.

At this moment, someone pulled him up and punched him in the face.

Serena hurriedly got up and widened her eyes.

In front of her was Ian Blackwood, who had appeared unknown to her.

Ian was hitting Caleb, leaving Caleb powerless to fight back.

Anqian Road was a route Ian had to take to get home.

But it wasn’t a necessary route for Caleb or Serena.

Today, Ian had been busy with business until late, not expecting to encounter familiar faces on this road.

What first caught his attention was the royal blue Bentley.

The license plate with four sevens was too conspicuous.

Ian knew it was Caleb’s car.

Out of curiosity, he parked his car nearby and approached Caleb’s car on foot to investigate.

As a result, the first person he saw was Serena.

Serena was pinned under Caleb, struggling in distress.

Ian didn’t even need to think; he immediately intervened physically.

But he soon realized something was wrong.

Caleb didn’t retaliate at all.

When Ian paused, Serena immediately went to Caleb to check his injuries.

Ian felt his heroic rescue had turned into a joke.

Serena supported the staggering Caleb without explaining anything to Ian.

She knew Ian and Caleb didn’t get along; their relationship was bad, and their families and companies were rivals.

So she believed Ian couldn’t know about Caleb being drugged.

Just as Serena was helping Caleb back to the car, Ian suddenly snatched Caleb from her.
