"SIGN IT AND GET THE HELL OUT OF MY LIFE!" Calvin threw the divorce agreement in her face, his voice seething with fury. Adriana Clarke Walker, a well-known heiress and the wife of the richest man in the country and CEO of the Grand Empire Corporation, Calvin Walker, had always believed in the possibility of love. Despite knowing that Calvin didn't love her, she married him with the hope that her patience and devotion would eventually win his heart. But all she received in return was endless pain. Their marriage became a black hole that devoured everything: her happiness, her family's honor, and her security. In an instant, she lost everything—her family shamed, torn apart, and forced into exile. Adriana tried to leave the past behind and build a new life, only to find that Calvin refused to let her go. His pursuit was relentless, and he wasn't willing to set her free...
View MoreThe case is already over, and they are not partners anymore!Ask her to go over there!Dream on!Adriana didn’t bother and put her phone back into her bag.Except for having a good background, what else does Anna have? Her face didn’t look good, her heart was as back as coal, and she put so much makeup on her face that one couldn’t even see her true skin. Adriana resents this kind of person the most, and she hates Calvin even more who wants to get married to her.Seeing Adriana’s reaction, Calvin raised his eyebrows slightly.****What Adriana had said earlier kept repeating in Anna’s mind like a film and because of this she felt a little strange to be standing with Calvin, “Calvin, where is your car?”They had a little drink in the evening, so she couldn’t drive. Moreover, she hadn’t informed her driver as at a time like this it’s supposed to be the man who takes the woman home.However, Calvin didn’t have self-consciousness at all, “I still have something to do. You take a cab to go
"He doesn’t love you!"Adriana’s face remained as calm as water, but her heart shattered, and the sharp pain cut through to her very bones.If Calvin had truly loved her, he wouldn’t have just stood aside and watched her family go bankrupt. He wouldn’t have stayed silent when the debtors blocked their door, pouring filthy water over her family and dragging their names through the mud. No matter how much she pleaded and cried before him, he had remained indifferent.He just didn’t love her.She still remembered that night—standing outside his door, soaked by the pouring rain for hours, crying until her voice turned hoarse. But no matter how hard she begged, he never opened the door. He didn’t even look at her, let alone say a word.If the butler hadn’t dragged her away, maybe she would have died that night.If her body hadn’t been battered to its limits, she wouldn’t have...The pain in her heart constricted, as though it had been thrown into a blender, shattering and slicing into her
Adriana could tell that Anna was pointing at her, alluding to how her marriage with Calvin had ended back then.Anna bowed her head and said, “I’m just saying we can try.”Adriana slowly lowered her head and was about to zap the bowl with frustration.Mark noticed and asked, “Are you okay?”Adriana put down her cutlery, already full of anger. “I’m going to the bathroom.”****“Adriana, it’s been a long time!”She hadn’t expected Anna to follow her.Adriana frowned and asked, “What? Do you want something from me?”Anna put her arm around Adriana’s shoulder and spoke with a smile, “You’re progressing quite fast. By the way, who was the one eating with you just now?”Adriana scowled. “It’s none of your business!”“You’ve been divorced for so long, so it’s normal to find a boyfriend. But you can’t be that desperate and target a married man! Didn’t you see the wedding ring on his finger? Or are you just in a hurry to be the third party?”Adriana shot back, “Confessing your feelings in publ
Adriana knew that he was insulting her and her hands shook with anger.Anna snickered. She thought that Calvin was still in love with Adriana, but now she saw that he simply hated her!Calvin is someone who loves his face so much, however, he still openly ridicules Adriana in front of outsiders. One can see how much hatred he had in his heart for her.Unconsciously, she straightened up, inclined her head to look at the right-hand side, “Counselor Clarke, please don’t mind him. He is quite a straightforward person and doesn’t like others' hypocritical behavior. He is a little chivalrously style.”Mark didn’t think it was chivalry. He put cold arrows everywhere. To be honest, it was very ungentlemanly. “Albany is not too big or a small city and it’s a fate that we can meet. So, why don’t we laugh off the enmity?”He said as he raised his glass.However, no one responded to him.The atmosphere was a little awkward.After a long time, Mark sardonically put down his wine glass. “I was so f
Adriana was speechless. She didn’t want to have anything to do with this Blake family princess, but she had been targeting her at every turn. It was obvious that she was looking for trouble.They had no grudges in the past, and the only common thing they had crossed paths with was Calvin.Now she and Calvin have long been separated and will have nothing to do with each other in the future. However, Anna seems to have been taking her as her imaginary enemy, and Adriana is not very happy with such an incitement. So, she is prickly when she opens her mouth again.Adriana smiled generously as she said, “Being a Lawyer is quite good, as we can see through people. For example, from your temperament I can tell that your identity must not be simple, right? However, everyone is not like you. I had a friend, who was once tricked by a woman. She always put on so much makeup, hiding her true face, looking all vulgar. I don’t know how people get fascinated by it?”Adriana smiled brightly as she sa
It’s been three years, but some people are still spoiled with their stink!Adriana doesn’t understand why some people like to book the whole venue just for a meal. Did they have a lot of money?’Mark turned back only to see a man and woman sitting not far away. The woman had her back towards him, so he couldn’t see her. As for the man, he looks very eye-catching and he can tell from a glance that he was not an ordinary guy. He had met many financial circle tycoons, but he didn’t have any impression of the man sitting in front of him.“Me and my friend just came here to have a simple meal. Don’t worry, we won’t affect them to talk about their love.”This was the first time he had invited Adriana to dinner. If they were kicked out in the middle of the meal, how could he face her in the future?The manager’s face darkened. If it was someone else there might be a room for negotiation, but the other person was Calvin Walker.“I am sorry, I am afraid…”The manager hadn’t been able to comple
Anna knew that George didn’t like childish and ignorant girls, and wanted to find a granddaughter-in-law who understood things and knew what was going on inside and out. So, she smiled in a dignified manner and said, “The restaurant environment is too beautiful. I was just too engrossed in enjoying the scenery and didn’t really care about the time.”Calvin sits across her, crossing his long legs. His body movements are casual. For no reason born out of self-confidence, there are three impetuous, ‘I like this attitude.’Anna picked up the glass of juice with one hand, showing the rose Cartier fine bracelet on her white wrist, and translucent nude pink manicure. All the details are well-matched. Sitting in the carved beams, wearing the dress with Tencel fabric, she showed the beauty of a gentle and soft woman.“Even though I had stayed abroad for a long time and had seen many foreign beautiful things and people, I still couldn’t help but miss our country. For example, the redfish in the
Calvin was too lazy to even glance at the details of the two men. He didn’t know them personally, but he was well-acquainted with their fathers, who still had to greet him politely whenever they met.Kevin noticed the time and gently reminded him, “Sir, shall we leave now?”Calvin hadn’t been paying attention to the clock. It was only the sinking afterglow of the sun outside his window that hinted at the passage of time.“What’s the hurry?” Calvin said nonchalantly. “Let her wait a while and see how sincere the Blake family is about this marriage.”Kevin discreetly glanced at his watch. It was already seven o’clock. Fortunately, the meeting location was only ten minutes away, so the delay wasn’t excessive. Yet, he couldn’t help but feel that his boss’s attitude was typically arrogant, taking things for granted as usual.Whether in work or life, Calvin’s natural authority drew people to flatter and curry favor with him.The two men sat silently in front of the floor-to-ceiling window,
Back in the morning, at Calvin’s office.After finishing a meeting, Calvin was about to open another file when his cell phone rang. He glanced at the screen—it was a call from his grandfather.Sometimes, he suspected his grandfather had planted spies to watch him.“Don’t even think about rejecting me,” his grandfather’s authoritative voice came through. “I’ve arranged a meeting with Anna at seven o’clock. Go and meet her. This matter cannot be delayed any further.”Calvin’s eyes were sore from staring at documents and his computer all day. He pinched his brow, the faint lines on his forehead deepening. “Grandpa, what if she stands me up?”George responded in his usual confident tone, “The Blake family facilitated this meeting, so that won’t happen.”“In that case, why should I hurry?” Calvin asked, his voice calm yet laced with sarcasm. “Grandpa, ever since I was a child, you taught me to always stand tall and never lower myself. And I learned that lesson well.”George chuckled, sensi
Adriana sat in her office chair with her eyes closed.She seemed to be having a nightmare. Her snow-white face was creased with frowns, and cold sweat trickled down her temples."No... Don't take my brother away... He's not guilty...""Mom, Dad, I'm sorry, it was my fault... Please forgive me..."Adriana mumbled, her voice barely audible."Mom..."Suddenly, she cried out, jerking awake. Her breathing was uneven as she opened her eyes.'That nightmare again... No matter how much I try to run from my past, it seems the past isn't going to leave me alone!' she thought.Adriana poured herself a glass of water when suddenly, someone knocked at the door.Knock! Knock! Knock!"Come in!" she called out.The door to her office opened, and Mona, Adriana's assistant, walked in holding some files. Mona looked at Adriana's pale face and asked with concern, "Ma'am, are you alright? You look pale!"Adriana took a sip of water to calm herself and replied, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just didn't sleep w...
