After 4:00 o’clock, Calvin stepped out of his study and found the living room eerily still.There was no one in sight. The house was silent.The purity of the quiet annoyed him.“Adriana!” he shouted loudly.Adriana, who had been tucked away in the bedroom, was instantly disturbed. “What’s going on now?”She was sitting on the bed, surrounded by a pile of printouts. The documents contained information about the law firms Grand Empire frequently collaborated with. Spread out across half the bed, the mess was undeniable, but she didn’t seem to care.When Calvin walked in, his sharp eyes caught a few key phrases on the scattered pages.He approached and picked up one of the papers. “Are you preparing to apply or jump ship?”Adriana quickly gathered the documents and stacked them into a neat pile. “This has nothing to do with you.”Calvin’s gaze remained on her, unimpressed. “These are all law firms that Grand Empire works with regularly. This isn’t just a coincidence. Is your boss trying

Mark respected her decision and, noticing her reluctance to respond, found an excuse to inform his second uncle that it was inconvenient for her to meet today. This thoughtful gesture spared her the discomfort.One could easily tell that Mark had a good character.Calvin, however, grunted and said with a sullen expression, “Come out and make dumplings.”Adriana felt an instant headache. She really couldn’t understand why Calvin was so obsessed with cooking.Rolling up her sleeves and tying on an apron, Adriana was at a loss for words. “And?” she asked, unenthused.Calvin, standing at the sidelines, began issuing commands as he washed and chopped vegetables.“Chopping vegetables isn’t the same as chopping wood. Start over!”Adriana clenched her teeth so hard her cheeks ached. The leeks, each three centimeters long, were spread neatly across the cutting board. She made an additional cut right in the middle, then looked at him. “How about this?”Calvin, his expression serious, nodded. “C

The elevator doors slid open, and the two of them stepped inside. Seven or eight more people squeezed in behind them, packing the space to the brim.Jessica and Adriana stood shoulder to shoulder, and Jessica, glancing sideways, couldn’t help but notice that her shoulders were a few centimeters narrower than Adriana’s. The realization left her quietly annoyed.Aidan had recently been strutting around the law firm like a peacock in full display, beaming every day as if he couldn’t help but burst into song. “Lawyer Clarke is here! Everyone, give her a round of applause!”The staff clapped along, their faces full of obligatory congratulations, and the office filled with a manufactured sense of cheer.Adriana laughed awkwardly. “It’s just a small lawsuit. Director Aidan is exaggerating.”Jessica, back at her workstation, couldn’t resist a jab. “A case involving Grand Empire, and you’re still calling it a small lawsuit? Lawyer Clarke is the definition of Versailles modesty.”Mona, ever the

Laying down the gauntlet and sending out an attack, Adriana decided it was time to have a proper fight with Ray.Whenever he had an issue with her, he always took it out on her friends and never played fair.Ray, however, had other plans. As he hung up the phone, a sly smile spread across his face, his confidence ignited like a rooster ready for a duel.He had the nerve to call his bluff in a bar, but he didn’t seem to realize how much he’d aged—or how out of touch he’d become.Ray contacted the bar ahead of time, instructing the manager to clear the venue. "Something big is going down tonight," he said, "so get rid of the idle crowd."Later, he barked at his executives in the office, “You can’t even handle such a small matter. Go home and farm for all I care—I don’t need you here. Get lost!”By seven o’clock, Adriana and Snow arrived at the bar.Snow was dressed in punk style—noble, cold, and valiant. With her long legs, small waist, and a pair of sunglasses perched on her face, she

Adriana looked at Nora, her mind flashing back to that her battle with Ray in tent atop the mountain. The memory made her stomach churn. “The money may not be much, but whether or not Ray has the ability to take it—that’s another story.”Ray’s interest was clearly piqued. “Are you challenging me to a bet?”Adriana patted the stack of bills confidently. “That’s right. I’ll use this as my chips—twenty thousand per round. If you win, I’ll do whatever you want. But if you lose, the role goes to Snow.”Ray ran a finger through his hair, visibly on edge. He’d been caught off guard by Adriana before, so this time, he tread carefully. “And what exactly are we playing?”Adriana pulled out a deck of cards and tossed them onto the table. “It’s simple—three cards per person. Whoever has the higher hand wins.”Her calm posture and sharp tone completely stunned Snow.Shit! My friend is a total badass! Snow thought, barely containing her excitement.Ray unwrapped the cards and shuffled them, his mov

“Playing at your level isn’t a small trick. Come on, you first.”Ray shuffled the cards with lightning speed, cutting them in a dazzling display that completely disrupted Adriana’s prearranged setup. At that moment, she really didn’t know where to begin. With no choice, she left it to luck, picked a card at random, and placed it face down.Ray smiled, drew a card, and flipped it open immediately—a King of Hearts.Snow felt the tension radiating from Adriana and quickly realized the situation was dire. Glancing at the cards on the table, her uneasiness deepened.She whispered, “Hehe, how about we find an excuse to retreat? I’m pretty good at faking illnesses. What do you think? A heart attack?”If it were any other occasion, Adriana would’ve laughed, but not today. “He wouldn’t care, even if you pretended to be on your deathbed. Don’t panic. We’re not at the last step yet.”Snow clenched her fists, her thoughts racing. Wait, should I fake an asthma attack instead? And claim I forgot my

Adriana secretly thanked God in her heart, thinking, ‘God has treated me well.’“Ray is bullying me! He’s asking me to play cards with him! Tell me, how can I possibly match his skills?”As she spoke, Adriana pulled Snow closer and introduced her. “This is my best friend, Snow, an excellent young actress. Isn’t she pretty?”To Anaya, Adriana was the most beautiful woman in the world, and no other woman could compare. But since Snow was Adriana’s friend, Anaya nodded politely and said, “Sister Snow, hello!”Snow hadn’t expected to find such an untainted and adorable girl like Anaya in a family like the Walkers. Smiling warmly, she replied, “Hello! You’re so cute, beautiful, and witty.”Anaya, long accustomed to receiving praise, returned a polite smile.Adriana explained, “Your Sister Snow has a role that Ray wants to give to someone else. This isn’t just about cards—it’s a fight for the role. If I lose, the role will go to someone else.”The “someone else” was, of course, the woman si

Snow said, “Mr. Walker, you’re standing at the top of the pyramid and can have any woman you want. So, can you please let Adriana go?”She had witnessed Adriana’s tears far too often and didn’t want her friend to get entangled with Calvin again. If Calvin had even a shred of decency, he wouldn’t put obstacles in her career.Without his favor, even if Adriana sacrificed herself as bait, she would only end up being kicked out, with nothing to show for her pain and sacrifice.Calvin listened calmly to Snow’s words and replied, “Miss Snow, is there anything else?”Snow was stunned. He didn’t hear a single word I said?“Mr. Walker…” she began, but Calvin interrupted her.“You’re already struggling to protect yourself and still need Adriana to step in to seek justice for you. What right do you have to reason with me?”Realizing her soft approach wasn’t working, Snow’s frustration boiled over. She snapped, “I may not have anything, but as long as Adriana needs it, I’ll fight you to the death

The next day, Adriana packed her things and left for work.When she went downstairs, she saw a familiar car.The neighbourhood she rented in was only mid-range to high-end, and it was rare to see such a luxurious car.The high-profile Aston Martin in front of her certainly didn’t fit in with the overall atmosphere.Adriana instinctively knew there was a familiar face inside, so she turned around to leave.Drip!The horn blared, the driver’s window rolled down, and a head peeked out.“I’ve seen it all. Where are you planning to hide?”Adriana knew dodging was pointless, so she switched to a standard, polite smile — the kind an employee would show when greeting their superior.“Deputy Director Carson showing up at his subordinate’s doorstep first thing in the morning — that can’t be a coincidence, right?”The injury on Carson’s face, after a night of settling in, looked even worse. The swelling had intensified, and the bruise had deepened in color. His left eye, the one that had taken t
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 181 I will take care of it
Seeing Calvin and Carson angrily facing each other, it seemed like they were about to start fighting again. Adriana put down what she was holding and sat down with a stern face.“You two can bandage each other up. Since you're both so capable of fighting, you can handle the aftermath just as well.”“No way.”“Never happening.”Surprisingly, they were at least consistent on this point.“Well then, since neither of you wants to do it, bear with it. After this, go home — to whoever you like.”Not wanting to get entangled with either of them any further, Adriana just wanted to leave with a clean slate.Carson tugged at her wrist, his red, swollen face filled with helplessness. “You’re not really going to leave, are you?”Adriana looked down at his hand, then forced him to let go. “I made myself very clear already. No matter what you do, I won’t appreciate it. Whether I’m desperate, heartless, or however you want to see me — it doesn’t matter. You can think of me as a scummy girl if you wa
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 180 Are you looking for death?
Calvin spoke out in shock. Adriana was afraid he would say something else, so she hurriedly advised, “Calvin, let’s just come together and part peacefully. At least let’s leave each other with some dignity. Let’s not make a mess of things until there’s nothing left.”There was a warning in her eyes, and her stance made it clear she was drawing a line with him.Calvin cooperated by lowering his head slightly, and likewise lowered his voice, whispering, “Do you like that playboy so much? Do you even know what kind of person Carson really is?”Adriana glanced at Carson out of the corner of her eye. He appeared calm and composed, not at all embarrassed by being left out, standing there like a clear stream.“What kind of person he is — time will tell,” she replied. “I’ll also keep my eyes wide open to see it for myself. Instead of listening to your version, I’d rather experience it firsthand.”Calvin was thoroughly exasperated by her. “It seems you’re determined to go against me.”“Calvin,

New York is known as one of the most beautiful cities in the country and has been ranked as a highly livable place for several years in a row. Facing the sea and stretching northward, its late spring and early summer evenings are filled with a gentle breeze and bustling traffic—a perfect blend of vibrant life and the relentless struggles of young dreamers.Strolling through the college campus, where students gathered in groups, one could see couples walking arm in arm, hear playful bickering, and catch fleeting glimpses of youthful romance. It was enough to rekindle even the most faded sparks of sentiment.Carson pulled a cigarette case and lighter from his trouser pocket, but just as he was about to light one, he hesitated and put them back. “There’s an observation deck nearby. Want to check it out?”Adriana refused without hesitation. She wasn’t here for a date. Why would she follow the same route as young lovers?“I’m not going.”Carson glanced at a couple embracing in front of the

Looking at the smelly rice noodles bubbling on the table, Adriana wrinkled her eyebrows into two tight knots. “This is refreshing?”Carson, his long fingers stirring the noodles and auxiliary ingredients in the large bowl, looked completely at ease—clearly, he had eaten this many times before. “These rice noodles are made from the shop owner’s authentic recipe. Only his family knows it. Have a try!”Adriana’s expression darkened as she pushed her bowl away. “Deputy Director Carson, you should eat more.”She found it hard to believe that someone like Carson, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, would be good at this.Actually, it was more than just being grounded—it was practically underground.Carson noticed her reluctance and frowned. “Didn’t you used to love this?”Adriana hesitated. “Before? How do you know what I used to eat?”Had their paths ever crossed? Searching her memory, Adriana couldn’t recall.Carson smirked mysteriously. “Eat three bites, and I’ll tell you.”Back in co

Adriana ignored the message alert and pretended not to see it.At the dinner table, Anderson both explicitly and implicitly mentioned that Calvin’s plan for the night was to attend Karl’s birthday party. He even emphasized, “Our president—when has he ever given anyone such an honor? He rarely attends private parties in a year.”The implication was clear: the relationship between the Walker family and the Blake family was extraordinary.His remark was directed at Adriana, who simply smiled.Anderson might have intended to provoke her, but her lack of response left him disinterested, and he didn’t bring it up again.A house call and a banquet—it seemed that things between Anna and Calvin were progressing well.Pretty good.Drip!The sound of a car horn suddenly interrupted her thoughts. Adriana turned toward the road, and her expression darkened instantly.Carson rolled down the window and leaned out, his elbow resting on the window frame as he smiled at her. “What a coincidence!”At tw

Calvin said, “Whether we are falling out or not, Chairman Blake, there’s no need for you to know too much. I didn’t see Albert.”No one could force a word out of him if he didn’t want to speak.Karl, understanding Calvin’s style, knew better than to press the matter. Truth be told, there was no need to ask—Carson had likely crossed a line that Calvin, who couldn’t tolerate even a speck of sand in his eyes, found unforgivable. Perhaps even Albert himself was not worth seeing in Calvin’s view.This is tricky.Karl kept a smile on his face and said, “Carson—that boy lacks determination. Albert has mentioned many times that… well, never mind. Even raising his own son hasn’t been easy for him. It’s clear that mistakes are inevitable in other areas as well. But let’s not dwell on it.”Despite his lighthearted tone, Karl was struggling internally.With his current cash flow issues, he had planned for Albert to meet Calvin tonight, hoping to reinforce his confidence and secure financial suppo

In the evening, the Grand Empire lawyers dined at Savory Spice Heaven.Adriana kept her thoughts to herself—after all, her last traumatic experience had taken place here, and revisiting the same place felt like an emotional wipeout.As they entered the private dining room, Marshal smiled and said, “Lawyer Clarke, this way, please.”Marshal, holding the highest position, rightfully should have taken the seat across from the door. However, he reached out to invite Adriana instead, even offering her the most honorable chair.Wasn’t that cynicism?Adriana politely declined, took a seat on the left side, and pulled out a chair. “Minister Marshal, you are too polite. You are the host, and I am the guest. Where is the reasoning in competing with the host for a seat?”Lawyer Miller smiled. “Lawyer Clarke, with your relationship with the president, why be so modest? Not to mention just a single seat—this entire restaurant must look up to you!”Adriana didn’t show even a hint of anger. She simp

Carson wasn’t blind, nor was he stupid. The lingering redness at the corner of Adriana’s mouth wasn’t from accidentally scraping it while drinking water.“You left too quickly at lunch. I hadn’t finished what I was saying. Busy now?” he asked.Adriana replied calmly, “Just finished work. I was about to head down.”Carson nodded, finally turning his attention to Calvin, who was practically radiating hostility. “Calvin, I’ll be taking my person with me. I wouldn’t want to disturb your office. See you later.”Calvin’s fingers casually brushed over the corner of his mouth. Then, as if savoring the moment, he deliberately glanced at the faint traces left on Adriana’s lips—his traces.“Miss Clarke, seven o’clock—don’t be late.”Adriana’s head buzzed for a moment. Can’t you phrase it more clearly? Now it sounded like they had some private rendezvous.She quickly corrected him. “Of course, Mr. Calvin. The Grand Empire Legal Department is full of industry elites. I’ll be sure to learn from the
