192 Chapter 192: Reduced to a Cripple
Caleb Lockwood’s eyelids slightly lifted. 1
This result shouldn’t have surprised him.
Since that day in Meridia, after he showed Serena Jennings the divorce certificate, it was as if she had removed him from her life.
So the night she got the divorce certificate, Serena left the hotel and lingered with Justin Nash.
And now<b>… </b>
Serena’s side was now apanied by Ethan White.
Ethan White saw Caleb Lockwood’s hands tightly clenched into fists at his sides.
“Mr. Lockwood, when visiting a patient, naturally their wishese first. Please leave!”
Caleb Lockwood didn’t say another word, turned around, and left.
In the middle of winter, he broke out in a sweat.
The result was that he met with a closed door.
For the first time, Caleb Lockwood felt like an idiot.
In the hospital room, Serena was lying on the bed, with just a casual nce able to catch a view of the scenery downstairs-
Caleb Lockwood was strutting towards his imperial blue Bentley.
Ethan White opened the door to find Serena just pulling her gaze back from the window.
“Apples, strawberries, mangoes, grapes… which one do you want to eat?”
“Hmm… the apple, I guess!”
Ethan White picked up a washed apple, about to peel it.
“I’ll do it myself!<b>” </b>
Serena stretched out her hand to Ethan White.
“Your hand is wrapped in a bandage!”
With Ethan White’s reminder, Serena looked at her hand wrapped like a rice dumpling and gave a bitter smile: “Right, I’m a patient now.”
Just as Serena was hospitalized, ire Shaw immediately joined forces with Cynthia Fulton to host a reception.
This reception entertained all of Serena’s clients.
Currently, all of Serena’s clients came from the banquet Queen Elizabeth attended, so connecting with them through Cynthia Fulton was
not difficult.

At the reception, ire Shaw exined to all the guests, saying that she was set up by Serena at the banquet, that Serena secretly
swapped her designed crown with a children’s crown.
Of course, without evidence, the guests couldn’t immediately believe just her words.
“Ladies and gentlemen, rest assured…”
ire Shaw stood on stage, holding a mic, radiant.
This feeling of being in the limelight hadn’t urred in a long time.
This was how it should be…
ire Shaw wore a confident smile.
She hadn’t invited Caleb Lockwood to this reception.
Because it wasn’t yet time.
“The day after tomorrow, I’ll have a showdown with Serena onsite, to restore antique jewelry for the Xylos Museum… By then, it will be
clear who possesses genuine talent and who is a counterfeit.”
“In front of industry insiders, I’ll make Serena convincingly lose.”
ire Shaw bragged boldly, already envisioning her victory.
Cynthia Fulton initially wanted to get back at Serena for the humiliation of the wedding day, but ire Shaw hadn’t seen Cynthia Fulton
make a move.
So she proactively contacted Cynthia Fulton, probing her intentions.
Cynthia Fulton originally intended to hire a bunch of thugs to assault Serena.
But just that was insufficient for ire Shaw.
If they’re going to do it, why not be more thorough?
She knew that Serena, through a client’s referral, had won an opportunity to restore antique jewelry for the Xylos Museum.
Serena’s career was restarting, and she had a protector by her side, while ire’s career and love life were all in decline.
ire Shaw felt Serena absorbed her good fortune, stealing the light that was supposed to belong to her. <fn78c2> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? FιndNovel</fn78c2>
So she told Cynthia Fulton to instruct those thugs not only to assault Serena but to also ruin her hands, to break her fingers one by one.
Doesn’t Serena have high craft skills?
Now disabled, she wanted to see how Serena would restore antique jewelry.
ire Shaw herself contacted the Xylos Museum, and eventually, they agreed to let her and Serena perform restorations on–site and would choose whoever did better.
ire Shaw wanted Caleb Lockwood to witness Serena’s thorough defeat.

A woman with crippled hands, unable to fend for herself, wouldn’t attract a second nce from someone like Caleb Lockwood.
This time, she wanted to ensure Serena would never get back up!
After the reception, nearly half of the guests became ire Shaw’s new clients, and she was confident that the remaining half would be
won over after the restoration of the antique jewelry.
By then Serena would have nothing left.
As for Ethan White, ire Shaw would rather he serve Serena hand and foot once her hands were crippled.
If the two of them were inseparable, then Serena wouldn’t pursue her Caleb Lockwood.
The Lockwood Group.
Mr. Miller could tell Caleb Lockwood wasn’t in a good mood, but he still had to report what needed to be reported.
“President Lockwood, those thugs have been found… their hands are crippled and they’ve been jailed…”
Caleb Lockwood was silent.
“Also, the orthopedic doctor you contacted… was chased away by Miss Jennings.”
Caleb Lockwood, sitting at his desk, suddenly raised his eyes.
Mr. Miller shuddered.
It had been a long time since he’d seen that look from Caleb Lockwood.
“When did I find an orthopedic doctor?”
Mr. Miller’s mouth twitched wildly.
If you didn’t instruct, why would I bother finding an orthopedic doctor?
“Then what about those medicines…”
“Throw them out.”
Caleb Lockwood ordered.
“Yes, I’ll do it right away.”
Before Mr. Miller could leave the office, Caleb Lockwood called him back.
“Return them before throwing them out.”
Mr. Miller<b>: </b>…
You knew they’d be returned and still sent them?
“Yes, I’ll do it right away.”
Mr. Miller personally delivered the medicine to the hospital, only to see them all returned, as expected.

However, this time he met Serena in person.
“President Lockwood, I think Miss Jennings looks and feels quite good.”
Back at thepany, Mr. Miller reported honestly to Caleb Lockwood.
“Of course she’s fine withpany.”
“What?”
Mr. Miller didn’t hear Caleb Lockwood’s mutter clearly.
Caleb Lockwood’s face darkened.
“I said there’s no need to keep reporting on Serena’s matters to me. She’s got a fractured hand, it’s not like she has cancer…”
The more he spoke, the harsher Caleb Lockwood’s tone became.
“Even if she dies… it has nothing to do with me.”
After coldly saying this, Caleb Lockwood dismissed Mr. Miller from the general manager’s office.
Mr. Miller returned to his workstation, unable to help but sigh:
“These days… work is getting harder and harder!”
City A Commercial Exhibition Center.
Tonight, the annual Entrepreneur Award Ceremony of City A was being held here.
It goes without saying Caleb Lockwood was present, and ire Shaw was also on the guest list.
Moreover, ire Shaw received the Top Ten Emerging Entrepreneurs Award.
Of course, she had obtained this award through connections.
Winning the award was never her purpose.
But only by winning would she have the qualification to sit beside Caleb Lockwood,
“Congrattions.”
Caleb Lockwood raised his ss to ire Shaw.
Among so many guests, he wasn’t the first to congratte ire Shaw.
“Thank you…”
ire Shaw clinked sses with Caleb Lockwood and took a sip of champagne.
Caleb Lockwood had nothing more to say, as if his initiative just now was merely amonce social interaction.
ire Shaw secretly gritted her teeth.
This time, she had no choice but to be more proactive.
