First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Customers Who Prefer Disabled Goods

The Imperial Dynasty Grand Hotel is a property of The Lockwood Group’s subsidiary company.

When Claire was taken away by The Lockwood Family’s bodyguards, she didn’t know where they were taking her.

"Where’s Caleb? Please, I’m begging you, let me see Caleb, just one more time..."

Claire’s voice was trembling, full of sobs.

Nevertheless, none of The Lockwood Family’s bodyguards paid her any attention.

Finally, as she was escorted out of the elevator, she saw a familiar man—

Mr. Miller.

"Mr. Miller!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Claire stretched her neck out like she was grasping for a lifeline and shouted at Mr. Miller: "Mr. Miller! Where’s Caleb? Caleb is here to see me, isn’t he? I knew he wouldn’t abandon me..."

Claire’s anxious cries echoed in the hotel corridor.

Mr. Miller, hands in pockets, calmly approached Claire.

For the first time, Claire saw Mr. Miller’s expression so cold and disdainful.

"You think you have the right to call President Lockwood by his name?"

With that, he handed a room key card to the leading bodyguard.

"It’s room 4078; the person is already waiting inside. Just take her in."

After hearing what Mr. Miller said to the bodyguard, Claire’s face suddenly changed color.

"Who’s waiting inside? Isn’t it Caleb? Who are you handing me over to?"

The more Claire asked, the more uneasy she felt, her expression growing increasingly terrified.

Neither Mr. Miller nor The Lockwood Family’s bodyguards answered Claire’s questions.

Mr. Miller didn’t even follow them; he just stood at the end of the hallway, silently watching as The Lockwood Family’s bodyguards took the struggling Claire to room 4078.

Then they swiped the card to open the door and shoved Claire inside.

Bam!

The hotel room door closed behind her, giving Claire no chance to escape. Inside, a man grabbed her hair and dragged her into the suite.

Inside, it was the leader of The Wyrmfang Gang.

"Draven..."

Claire trembled uncontrollably, her face as pale as if her blood had been drained.

"Claire, we meet again."

Draven smoked a cigar, beckoning Claire with his finger.

Claire didn’t dare move forward, knowing how cruel Draven was.

"No... please don’t..."

Suddenly, Claire turned and shouted towards the room entrance: "Send me to prison! I was the one who wanted to hurt Serena; you have to let Caleb put me in prison!"

Mr. Miller in the hallway could actually hear Claire’s screams.

But he just shook his head.

Mr. Miller wasn’t completely devoid of sympathy for Claire’s plight.

Claire was forced to make AV films for The Wyrmfang Gang in Meridia, after all.

Yet, finding pity for Claire was difficult.

Because it was Claire herself who initially decided to head to Meridia alone.

Through investigation, Mr. Miller had learned—

Claire wasn’t even Caleb Lockwood’s long-cherished first love.

It was a lie from the start, and she dared use it to threaten Caleb into abandoning his grandfather. Ultimately, Claire’s situation was self-inflicted.

If Claire hadn’t foolishly chosen to break up with Caleb back then, perhaps she could have become the mistress of The Lockwood Group by now.

Mr. Miller understood Caleb Lockwood.

Every action Claire took had pressed against Caleb Lockwood’s boundaries.

Thus, Caleb intentionally didn’t send Claire to prison.

Going to prison would be a relief for Claire now.

Therefore, Caleb ordered Mr. Miller to contact The Wyrmfang Gang.

"I was serious about you back then..."

"You were seriously trying to take advantage of every client."

Repeatedly rebuffed by Serena, Felix looked aggrieved.

"It was mutual benefit... only you aren’t swayed by my looks."

Serena couldn’t help but laugh.

Felix had good looks, and despite having such complicated relationships with clients, no client ever badmouthed him after their cases were over.

"I’m more moved by your skills than your looks."

"So you’re here today to ask me to handle your divorce case again?"

Felix guessed her intentions, and Serena nodded, keeping a straight face.

Given Caleb’s current attitude towards her, getting a divorce by agreement might not be possible.

She could only pursue litigation.

And this time, she certainly didn’t plan to leave empty-handed.

Serena briefly outlined her demands to Felix, but saw him shake his head apologetically.

"I’m sorry, Serena... even if you agree to date me now, I can’t handle this divorce case for you."

"Why?"

Serena was puzzled.

"Because President Lockwood just hired me as the legal advisor for The Lockwood Group... the contract stipulates I can’t handle your divorce case."

Serena: "..."

She never imagined Caleb Lockwood would act so quickly.

After leaving Felix’s law firm, she sought out three more firms, and each one rejected her because Caleb had preemptively spoken to them.

It was almost lunchtime, but Serena wasn’t hungry at all, filled with anger.

As she walked towards her car, an imperial blue Bentley slowly pulled up beside her, and the window rolled down.
