Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 11 Cut his hand personally
The crushing pain in her stomach intensified, and Adriana clenched her fists tightly. Her hands were slick with sweat.“What is it?” she asked, her voice strained.Calvin exhaled a puff of smoke, his demeanor casual. “Even though you won the lawsuit and earned fifty thousand dollars in legal fees, you also got into an accident and nearly lost your life. Don’t you want to know who’s behind it?”“The police are still investigating…” Adriana paused, suddenly suspicious. “Did you investigate me?”“Of course. You’re my legal counselor, so I had to evaluate your business abilities. I didn’t expect you to be a lawyer who lacks basic common sense,” he said, his tone sharp. “I really don’t know how you managed to get your bar license twice.”“I…” Adriana was momentarily at a loss for words.Calvin extinguished his cigarette on the lid of a nearby trash can and said, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to meet someone.”Thinking it was a work-related matter, Adriana didn’t ask too many questions and got i

Sitting in the car, Adriana felt a chill running down her spine. The scene of the dagger chopping off the man’s hand replayed in her mind like a movie.This man is too dangerous! His work was so clean that even if he killed a hundred people, no one would find out. What’s more, even if he wanted to do something, he didn’t even need to do it himself.Just like in the past.“Calvin, Carl said something wrong! Why didn’t you point him?”“What?”Adriana pointed at herself, saying, “He said that I am your wife! But I am not your wife anymore! We are already divorced!”Calvin looked at her coldly, “What’s the difference between what I have used, before and after?”For a while, Adriana didn’t know what to say, so she shut up! Calvin also didn’t say anything else.“Where are you going before?”Suddenly, the man sitting in the driver's seat spoke. His voice was low and mellow, like soothing music.“Huh?”“I asked, where are you going so late?”Only then did Adriana remember that she was going t

Calvin looked at the advertisement expressionlessly.The sales girl took out two boxes and settled the bill together, “It’s a new model and very popular!”Calvin didn’t refuse and said, “Help me make a cup of ginger tea, thank you!”Adriana went to the bathroom to do the aftermath. When she looked at her pants, she frowned. It was ruined completely. Then, Calvin’s car would be also ruined, right?’Adriana's face darkened as she stood outside the car, feeling embarrassed to get in. “Well, I will take a taxi, you can go by yourself!”Calvin rolled down the passenger seat window and sneered coldly, “After dirtying mine car, you also want to dirty others.”Adriana wanted to laugh, but she couldn’t. He is worthy of the title of King of Hell. His words were always cold and ruthless.As soon as Adriana got in the car, Calvin handed her a cup of hot ginger tea, “Drink it!”Adriana looked at him suspiciously, thinking, ‘Where did he get it?’“What? You don’t want to drink? Then throw it away!

Adriana looked at him calmly and said, “In that case, please go ahead. I am not going to invite you in. Please excuse me.”Calvin said coldly, “Adriana, you have changed a lot.”Hearing his sarcastic remarks, she smiled back, “Really? By the way, you also have changed a lot. After all, with your temper before, I am afraid Carl’s brother-in-law would not have just lost an arm.”Calvin smiled coldly, looking at Adriana without blinking. He just opened his mouth slightly, showing his porcelain white teeth.Objectively speaking, Adriana is very beautiful. She had smooth white skin and with perfect and exquisite figure.The number had times Calvin had intimate contact with her body was not much, but he still remembered her dazzling body.However, it was a pity that her heart was even more poisonous than a snake and scorpion.Thinking about the betrayal she did to him, Calvin clenched his fists tightly and his face was filled with the coldness.“What? Are you feeling bad for him?”Adriana w

“Adriana?”The maid recognized her and greeted her.Looking at the person in front of her, Adriana breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “Maria, long time no see!”Maria is a woman in her fifties. She is George’s nanny, in charge of his food and living. Maria is a clean and tidy lady. Even after so many years, she hadn’t changed much. She is still as gentle as before.Maria is the only person who treats Adriana well in this house.Maria looked around before taking a few steps forward. “Have you had a good time these past few years? Why did you lose so much weight?”Adriana and Calvin’s divorce was unknown to the outside world. Even the maids of the house didn’t know about it. They had inadvertently learned about it from their master’s conversation a few months later. Then things about the netting of the family and the sweeping of their reputations came to their ears one after the other.Other people discussed privately that Adriana was kicked out of her house, some say that the Clarke

Only when George stopped scolding, Calvin opened his mouth, “Grandpa!”The servant who had been scolded like an amnesty, stood at the door holding the tea tray. Looking at Calvin, he greeted, “President!”Seeing Adriana behind Calvin, he was dumbfounded.‘How did the president bring Adriana back?’George also didn’t expect to see Adriana again in this life. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Adriana coldly, “Outsiders are not welcome here?”Hearing this, Adriana was overjoyed. She couldn’t wait to go away.However, before she could move, Calvin pulled her wrist and said, “I am the one who asked her to come here.”George sat on the sofa angrily. His body was surrounded with a murderous aura, “Do you think you have a lot of money and asked her to spend for you? But let me tell you, even if you have a mountain of gold and silver, some people are still able to empty them!”Hearing his words, Adriana's ears turned red, feeling uncomfortable in her heart. Her eyes sank downward.Calvin said

“What do you mean by this?”“It’s simple, feelings will disappear, but assets can be always there. If she wants to marry into our Walker family, first I have to see how much money Karl can afford to put down. If we get married, Walker's family can give them the resources they can’t even imagine. So, I also want to know what can I get from them. To put it bluntly, I have what he has, and I also have what he doesn’t have. So, it is him who needs to flatter me, not me!”George appreciates Calvin’s wisdom and strategy, so he is the most valued among his many descendants. However, when he used this wisdom against him, he didn’t like it.Calvin added, “Anna's looks are also normal and she didn’t look like a fairy. I also don’t need their wealth to lead the Grand Empire as it had been already in the top for a hundred years and I don’t think anyone would be able to shake it. So, in this deal, no matter how you look, I am at a loss.”Adriana listened from the sideline and her outlook was const

“You… Shut up!” Naturally, George wouldn’t question his grandson in front of outsiders, so the one in the wrong could only be Adriana.“Have you forgotten how many benefits your family received from the Walker family? Even if you work for your lifetime, you still can’t repay them! And do you think you deserve to say that you owe us nothing!”Adriana laughed bitterly, “Good, good, very good! After being held back for so many years, you finally said it out! What, are you feeling bad?”At this moment, Adriana wanted to say that, what my family had taken from your family, I will return a single penny!But she knew that she didn’t have the strength to do so. Even if her father, brother, and everyone in our family sell their bones and meet to compensate, it will not be enough.“The day we got divorced, we made it clear that from now on there is no longer any relationship between us and we will not interfere in each other lives.

Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 288 Love’s like a damn addiction
Jessica wiped away her tears and bowed at a neat ninety degrees. “Thank you, Deputy Director, for your guidance. I will repay you with my performance.”Carson waved her off impatiently and pointed toward the door. “Get out.”When Jessica walked out, a dozen pairs of eyes were fixed on her.Having just experienced the most humiliating social defeat of her life, she still managed to keep her composure. “Sorry to disappoint everyone,” she said. “I haven’t been dismissed, and I will not be leaving. We’ll continue to be colleagues. I hope we can separate personal matters from work and carry on professionally.”With that, she walked back to her workstation in long, confident strides, as if she had just won a battle.Jenny was stunned. Selena’s jaw practically hit the floor.Should she curse her—Shameless!—or nod in admiration and say—Crouching bull, hidden shameless queen!?The people in the criminal division were thoroughly embarrassed. One of them offered an apologetic smile. “Lawyer Clar
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 287 You’re resigning. Leave the law firm
Adriana decided not to be merciful anymore. She deliberately straightened her posture and said, “Sorry for what exactly?”Jessica was practically grinding her teeth. She had counted on stepping on Adriana when she was down—kicking her while she was going through a rough patch. But how had things turned out like this?“I was in a bad mood… I couldn’t quite remember, but we did talk about it. Just now, I thought about it… You did encourage me that day, saying you had no interest in Deputy Director Carson. I must have remembered it wrong.”Her voice was low, but Adriana heard it—and so did Carson, who was silently watching.The crowd collectively felt like they’d been doused in a bucket of cold, bloody water.Adriana said, “That’s it? I remember there was more.”Selena, seeing Jessica bow her head and admit fault, snapped, “You’re not in the wrong! Why are you apologizing? Are we not allowed to call out Adriana’s misconduct anymore?”Jessica sharply interrupted her, “Don’t say another wo
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 286 Yes. Rejected by me
Before Adriana arrived, Jessica and Carson’s quarrel had already shocked many people’s views, and the outrageous things that came out of Jessica’s mouth shocked them even more.Selena, who had always seen Adriana as a thorn in her side, naturally wasn’t going to miss the chance to stomp on her while she was down.Now that Adriana’s career was suffering and her emotions were exposed, it looked like she had hit rock bottom and would never recover. How could she still act arrogant and high-minded? In a few days, she might have to pack up her store and leave.Selena straightened her back and laughed coldly. “Lawyer Clarke, you’re not afraid of eating what’s in the bowl while eyeing what’s in the pot? Aren’t you afraid of choking to death? You’re not just secretly hooking up with your boss in the office because your boyfriend can’t see you—you’re also shamelessly digging your claws into Lawyer Carson even though you know he already has a girlfriend! Lawyer Jessica and Deputy Director Carso
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 285 The word Zara is a Taboo
Unfortunately, Adriana couldn’t see Calvin’s dazzling smile—like a beautiful oil painting—and so the revulsion in her heart didn’t deepen. “Sorry, I’m not as idle as you are.”Calvin pressed his fingers to the tip of his nose, trying to hide the flicker of embarrassment no one could see. “Tell me, what are you planning to do? It’s not easy to set aside an unsolved case—especially one with no proof of death.”Yet deep down, he knew—if she just opened her mouth and asked, even with the softest of words—he would stir up all of New York, uncover the truth, and kneel before her in gratitude.But Adriana no longer pinned her hopes on her ex-husband. She knew full well how powerful Calvin was, but that didn’t matter now. “I’m sorry. I can’t tell you. And thanks to you disrupting the rhythm, I’m afraid I can’t solve it in the timeframe I promised.”“You mean... you’re breaking the agreement?”Adriana paused for two seconds before answering. “I’ll speed up the pace.”Calvin’s lips parted sligh
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 284 How many men out there can really be relied on?
Aidan asked, “How about the specifics? What’s the first step?”Adriana had a rough idea. The detailed operational steps weren’t perfect yet, but the first step was clear.“Of course—it’s complaining, playing the victim, and creating the image of someone being bullied without the power to fight back.”Carson’s mouth twitched, and he shook his shoulders as if trying to shake off goosebumps. “Can you act it out?”Adriana replied, “I don’t have to show my face. Just post on Twitter—write something pathetic—then watch who engages the most and track the IP addresses.”Sebastian didn’t take a side, but he opened Twitter to see what was trending. Normally, he wouldn’t get involved in this kind of thing. But Tony was his client, and he couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.The moment he saw Twitter, his usually blank expression cracked wide open.“I suggest you take a look first.”One by one, the others checked—and saw Calvin’s news dominating the top five trending topics. Adriana’s small inc
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 283 Do as I say
Each of Adriana’s words was like a needle, piercing Calvin one by one.He recalled the moments he'd spent with her and realized that Adriana had always resisted, rejected, and pushed him away. There had been too many misunderstandings between them, too many obstacles that couldn’t be resolved in a moment. But if her heart had been with him, all of it could have been overcome. Even mountains and seas could be crossed.What truly broke Calvin’s heart was the utter indifference in her eyes.Suddenly, he couldn’t feel the warmth of love anymore.That night, Calvin smoked two packs of cigarettes by the window, the dim, secretive glow in his eyes flickering like embers.“Wow!”With a swipe of his arm, he knocked a bottle of pills off the table.What’s the point of taking these anymore?His insomnia had worsened over the past three years, and his mood was deteriorating.As the eastern sky brightened, Calvin changed clothes and went for a ten-kilometer run. After returning and showering, his

Aidan hadn’t contacted Adriana since partying the night before. He was worried she’d feel embarrassed, or that his reaching out might come across as reproach.To be honest, he’d tossed and turned for half the night, just wanting to confirm that her boss—Calvin—had gotten her home safely.After struggling with it all night, Aidan figured he’d call her first thing in the morning under the pretense of work. But before he could even dial, he got hit with unexpected news.Sebastian told him that Tony was dead—and that he was holding a will in which Adriana’s name was mentioned.Tony’s case had already drawn media attention, but his death caused an outright uproar. The will got leaked, and netizens seized on it, amplifying every word.The two words Adriana Clarke quickly became a trending topic—and a heavy one at that.Aidan started calling Adriana like mad, terrified that she’d see the news and spiral. But her phone rang and rang, unanswered. Same with Snow’s.He was nearly scared to death
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 281 Whether you hate it or love it, you will never part from me
Why not?Because of love. Because of faith. Because of the dilemma of being caught between the two. Because reason was festering and emotions were spiraling out of control. Because there was too much he couldn’t manage.But these things, Calvin would never say. He didn’t care to reveal the soft underbelly of his heart to anyone.He simply looked at her firmly, repeating over and over in his mind that this woman—he would never let go of her again.“Whether you hate it or love it, you will never part from me.”And you think you can be happy with someone else?Dream on.Adriana didn’t take Calvin’s car after all. He started the engine alone, the screeching tires kicking up dust and sending her long hair flying.Watching the car disappear into the depths of the night, Adriana felt her heart turn cold.The goodbye had long been overdue. Hesitation and procrastination had only deepened the wounds. It was she who hadn’t handled the relationship well—but not anymore. Not in the future.“Snow,

Empty. Private. Slanderous.A few simple words, but strung together, they exploded with meaning.A huge wave crashed through Rene’s mind.Aidan’s expression shifted immediately. “Did Calvin and Miss Blake…”The supposed informant—Adriana—said nothing. She pinched her fork and got ready to savor the new dish that had just been served as if none of it concerned her.Calvin spoke calmly, “Private matter. No comment.”See? Trying to get Calvin to say something he didn’t want to was harder than going to the moon.Adriana took small, measured bites of her food. This was just how things were. Panicking and stressing wouldn’t change anything—better to handle it with composure.Rene, meanwhile, was reminded of his recent dealings with the Blakes. Not long ago, he had run into Karl at a cocktail party. The man had been glowing—red-faced, all smiles, clearly treating Calvin as a son-in-law already. It felt like Phantom was one step away from soaring to new heights on the back of that marriage al
