First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 213

Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Found a New Man

Lilian Young glared fiercely at Serena Jennings.

But the words "unfaithful woman" that were on the tip of her tongue couldn’t come out.

Because Serena had already divorced Caleb Lockwood and was no longer their daughter-in-law in the Lockwood family.

Logically, even if Serena started dating a new boyfriend, it wouldn’t be their concern.

However, Lilian Young just couldn’t get over this hurdle in her heart.

Serena, an ordinary woman from a humble background, marrying into the Lockwood family was a fortune she was blessed with over several lifetimes, it was reaching too high.

Yet Serena, blissfully ignorant of her good fortune, kept insisting on divorcing Caleb Lockwood, causing a lot of trouble and repeatedly bringing inconvenience to the Lockwood family.

And now, divorced, she turned around and found a new man.

Lilian Young just couldn’t stand a woman as fickle as Serena.

She tugged on Arthur Lockwood’s sleeve, signaling for him to say something to Serena, but Arthur Lockwood just glanced at Serena with a look full of discontent.

The gaze of the Lockwood family trio was so sharp that even Peter couldn’t ignore it if he wanted to.

However, Serena was laughing and talking with Peter the whole time, not sparing the Lockwood family trio even a glance.

Both parties’ destinations were the first banquet hall of the Victoria Royal Cruise.

Just as Serena stepped into the banquet hall, her feet suddenly felt weighed down like they were filled with lead and couldn’t move.

Peter, walking beside her, was puzzled. Following Serena’s gaze, he saw three people.

These three people were also a family of three.

Peter blinked.

Although he wasn’t very familiar with Country C, he knew a little about the Linton Family, the largest financial backer behind Country C.

At this moment, the end of Serena’s gaze was that Linton family member.

The man was the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Country C, named Aaron Linton, and the woman was his wife, named Jade Shaw, the nominal chairman of the Linton Group and also an accomplished pianist.

And standing between them, Peter guessed, was the adopted daughter of the Linton Family.

Peter had heard others gossip idly about this adopted daughter of the Linton Family.

Her name seemed to be Wendy Linton.

Since she was standing between Aaron Linton and Jade Shaw and was a young girl, this must be Wendy Linton.

Peter instinctively examined the person.

The person was dressed in a bright red gown embroidered with gold, with a mermaid-tail design that accentuated her voluptuous figure.

Though it was a mermaid dress, it had an extended train, and the red color was already eye-catching enough, covered with golden embroidery. Coupled with her light golden curls and mature makeup, she easily became the focus in the banquet hall.

This attire and demeanor surprised Peter greatly.

Such a bold and confident exhibition didn’t match his usual understanding of an adopted daughter.

Peter couldn’t help but be curious; why would Serena be so attentive to the Linton family when she remained unfazed by the Lockwood family?

Was it because Wendy Linton’s outfit was too striking, making her glance unconsciously linger?

Guests began to enter the banquet hall one after another.

Serena never expected that after visiting Country C several times without bumping into these two people, she would meet them now in Zephyria, on a cruise.

As the other party looked over, Serena withdrew her gaze, originally intending to pull Peter far away.

However, she knew them, but they might not recognize her.

After all, they hadn’t seen her for many years.

Serena suddenly thought of Caleb Lockwood.

Caleb, who had once vowed never to forget her, no matter how long it took or how much she changed, promised he would always recognize her—

but he didn’t recognize her.

She thought Aaron Linton and Jade Shaw probably wouldn’t recognize her either.

Just as Serena turned around, another person entered her field of vision.

"Could it be... is the Lockwood family trying to set up Caleb Lockwood and Wendy Linton?"

As soon as he said this, Peter looked at Serena, worried that his comment might upset her.

Serena’s face remained calm.

Now everything was falling into place.

The reason why Caleb Lockwood was in Country C on Valentine’s Day, and why he attended Wendy Linton’s racing event.

Turns out... Arthur Lockwood and Lilian Young selected the new wife for Caleb Lockwood, and it was actually Wendy Linton?

Serena touched her chin.

Peter had expected that seeing Caleb Lockwood’s interest in Wendy Linton might make Serena feel sad or angry.

But instead, Serena was smiling, smiling with genuine intrigue.

In fact, the relationship between Caleb Lockwood and Wendy Linton indeed piqued Serena’s interest.

If she remembered correctly, hadn’t Caleb Lockwood already promised Claire Shaw that after the divorce he would officialize his relationship with her?

But looking at Arthur Lockwood and Lilian Young, it was clear they already regarded the adopted daughter of the Lin family as their ideal future daughter-in-law.

In such a case, what would become of Claire Shaw?

Hypothetically, if the day came when Caleb Lockwood and Wendy Linton married...

Serena couldn’t help but gleefully imagine Claire Shaw’s reaction.

While Serena was indulging in the scenario of using Wendy Linton to hit back at Claire Shaw, suddenly, Caleb Lockwood turned and caught her gaze.

Caleb Lockwood’s cold face broke into a wicked smile the moment their eyes met.

The meaning of this smile was clear.

Serena understood it well; with Caleb Lockwood’s level of narcissism, he must have mistakenly thought her gaze meant she was feeling jealous of Wendy Linton.

Just as Serena was breaking eye contact, she noticed Aaron Linton and Jade Shaw walking toward her.
