First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 308

Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Detained by Her Grandfather

"Serena, I was wrong! I let you down... but... but I really didn’t mean to harm you..."

Lana Xavier grabbed Serena Jennings’ arm tightly.

Serena lowered her gaze, seeing Lana’s knuckles tense, her hand trembling.

Seeing Serena’s silence, Lana continued to explain:

"It was Julian... he said that after you became wealthy, you disregarded patients’ safety for profit... I feared the system might have flaws... Yes, I admit I also wanted to please Julian, to help him... but I also didn’t want you to go down the wrong path. I thought... as long as I secretly shut down the system, you would only lose a little money, at least not cause fatalities... Plus, I could help Julian..."

Lana knew whatever she said now was hindsight, but she couldn’t stop talking.

Under the night sky, the two stood by a white BMW 3 Series, one talking incessantly, the other silent.

"Well, congratulations on achieving your goal, I indeed lost money."

"Serena..."

Lana knew Serena blamed her.

Serena indeed had the right to blame her.

She had caused Serena much more than a minor financial loss.

Leaking customer information, especially such highly private health information, is a major incident in any industry.

Lana knew that now The Lockwood Group’s stock price was plummeting, the market value had shrunk significantly, facing the most serious trust crisis in history.

These...

All because she inserted that USB drive into Serena’s laptop.

Lana knew in her heart she had done something to Serena that couldn’t be undone.

Even if Serena refused to forgive her, it would be her own fault.

Yet, she still hoped Serena could forgive her.

Because she truly was unaware.

Looking at Lana’s agonized expression, Serena sighed.

She knew very well that Lana was used by Julian.

From Julian’s early resignation and his phone number becoming invalid, she could infer Julian had prepared for this day.

Serena even suspected that when Julian agreed to date Lana, it was for this day.

However, rationally she understood Julian was the mastermind.

But emotionally, it was hard not to blame Lana.

Serena gazed at Lana, seeing the naked guilt and remorse on her face, feeling like her heart was stabbed, bleeding without cease.

She had thought Lana came with a homemade cake to reconcile.

She had been full of anticipation and confidence, believing their friendship was indestructible, capable of withstanding any test.

Yet...

It was all an illusion.

It was one-sided.

"Lana..."

Serena took a deep breath, calmly saying to Lana:

"I know... you were deceived and used by Julian."

"Serena..."

"But when Julian unilaterally said the FZZL System had flaws, claiming I was greedy and disregarded patients’ lives... why didn’t you even come and ask me?"

"I..."

Lana was tongue-tied.

She blinked at Serena, seeing the disappointment overflowing in Serena’s beautiful eyes. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"You didn’t even try to verify, just fully believed and accepted Julian’s words... even if I really had changed, becoming greedy and indifferent to right and wrong... shouldn’t you first come and question me?"

"..."

Lana was flustered by Serena’s questioning.

She was at a loss for words, only able to lower her head.

Why didn’t she seek verification from Serena?

Because she never thought about it.

She trusted Julian.

Because she liked him.

She loved him.

She just wanted to help Julian achieve what he wanted, and conveniently correct Serena’s mistakes.

She thought she was just doing good.

Doing good doesn’t need verification.
