Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 131 Run a bath water
Calvin’s home was in the middle of a high-rise building, occupying the top floor. With no buildings in front of it, he never had to worry about prying eyes, even with the windows open. The unobstructed view and luxurious living space made it an excellent place to reside.With two floors to himself and at least a thousand square feet per floor, Adriana couldn’t help but wonder if he had ever played basketball in the living room.Not only was it spacious, but the Scandinavian-style decor was also meticulous—minimalist, refreshing, and distinctly cold. As soon as she stepped inside, she felt the temperature drop a few degrees. It must be an ideal retreat during the summer heat.After quickly scanning the house’s furnishings, Adriana asked, "Where’s the medical kit?"Calvin strode into the living room and sank into the center of a long, straight couch. "Upstairs, storage room—shelf to the right of the restroom."A spiral staircase led to the second floor, with hollow bookshelves lining th

With resentment and resignation, Adriana went upstairs to the master bedroom, first spitting into Calvin’s extravagant panoramic bathroom. As the water drained, she stepped into the bedroom to take a look around.Before she could examine his interior design and bedding, her eyes caught sight of a tall, black object near the window. Lifting the screen, she discovered a high-powered telescope with a large lens.Such a telescope was usually meant for stargazing, and knowing Calvin’s bravado, she figured it could probably capture the surface of the moon as well.Curiosity got the better of her, and she padded over to take a look.It wasn’t about what she intended to see—but what actually appeared in her line of sight. To her shock, she was staring at a familiar scene: her own house. The very place where, just half an hour ago, she had engaged in a battle of wits with Calvin!Calvin had set up a telescope in his bedroom to spy on her home?Imbecile! Pervert! Neurotic! she cursed inwardly.

This scene was too easy to evoke a charming reverie. Even without doing anything, her hands were already dripping with water. What’s more, right in front of her, Calvin stood wearing nothing but his pants. He was like an open-screen peacock.Calvin said, “Wash it for me.”Adriana’s gaze flickered between the bathtub and him in a two-point sweep. “I am sorry, Mr. Calvin, but I am not some bathhouse attendant. I don’t provide this service.”Calvin took her hand and placed it on his belt. “Open it.”‘Damn it! Did he not understand human language? Why did he act as if he were blocking her words?’Adriana curled her fingers stubbornly and said, word by word, “Don’t force me.”Calvin arched a brow. “See for yourself. Can this belt be undone with one hand?”Adriana hesitated before glancing down. Indeed, the belt had a slot-style buckle that required both hands to unfasten before it could be pulled out. It really wasn’t something that could be done with just one hand.Her fingers fumbled awk

There was a limit to how much one could fool people.But Calvin seemed to have none.He ignored Adriana’s hostile attitude and continued, “The executives of Grand Empire’s Chicago branch misappropriated company funds and conspired with the head of finance to falsify accounts. Based on our current information, the missing funds range between fifty and eighty million dollars. That money must be recovered.”Adriana’s brows furrowed. “That’s your problem.”Her voice was still laced with gunpowder.Calvin remained unfazed. “It’s inconvenient for our in-house legal team to intervene, and I don’t have a suitable candidate from other firms at the moment. You happen to have studied international law and have experience with overseas litigation, so there’s no need for me to look elsewhere. Of course…”He finally turned to her, his gaze deep and unreadable beneath the lingering mist.“It’s up to you whether you take it or not.”Ten million.An ungodly agency fee.How many small cases would she h

Placing the medicine bottle back in its place, Adriana couldn’t help but wonder.Calvin has such a strong heart, and he’s always the one bullying and cursing others. Who could possibly put pressure on him?Could it be Grand Empire or something like that? The Walker family had a vast number of personnel, and currently, the chairman of Grand Empire was George. Although Calvin held the position of president, whether he could ascend to the top of the pyramid still depended on George’s intentions.His uncles, cousins, and countless others were all eyeing his position.As for depression…Calvin gave her life-coaching lectures every day—couldn’t he give one to himself?Lost in thought, Adriana made her way downstairs. Still stuck in her pie-in-the-sky brainstorming, she accidentally kicked the leg of the table and stumbled back in pain.From the moment she came downstairs, Calvin noticed her absentmindedness, as if she had left her brain somewhere else. “What are you thinking about?”Adriana

Who knew that just as she took a step, she would see Calvin coming out of the master bedroom?Her attempt at a padded-toe walk instantly became awkward—by and large, a social death moment.“Ahem! Good morning!” Adriana straightened her back and forced an awkward smile.Calvin, standing with one hand at his side, looked a little worse for wear after sleeping all night. His bandage had come loose, making it look even messier.And yet, even in his just-woken-up, slightly disheveled state, he was still frustratingly good-looking.Before she could figure out what to say, the doorbell rang.Adriana’s eyes widened in alarm, instantly on guard. “Who’s here?”The next moment, she instinctively turned to retreat into her room. But before she could take a step, Calvin grabbed her collar.“What are you hiding for? We didn’t do anything last night.”Yeah, but who would believe that when we both look like this? she thought.Calvin half-wrapped his arm around hers as he led her downstairs, preventin

As Calvin changed his clothes, he didn’t bother with cufflinks and casually rolled up his shirt sleeves, exposing his sturdy, well-proportioned forearms. While rolling up his left sleeve, he naturally extended his right arm and said, “Help me fold this.”Adriana had just picked up yesterday’s washed clothes. Glancing at his outstretched arm, she chuckled. “Your girlfriend is waiting downstairs. Shouldn’t you give her a chance to show concern? Injuries like yours are perfect for stirring a woman’s heartache—and bringing the two of you closer.”Calvin replied, “You watched me get injured last night and saw everything since. Did that bring us any closer?”Adriana choked for a second before retorting, “I was talking about a boyfriend and girlfriend, not business partners.”Calvin scoffed, full of disdain. As he looked down at Adriana rolling up his sleeves, his gaze lingered on her hands—slender and clean, with neatly trimmed, translucent nails left unpainted, revealing a natural, healthy

Anna panicked and quickly grabbed a tissue for him. “Are you okay?”Calvin wiped the corner of his mouth and wordlessly waved his hand, signaling her to sit back down. His coughing fit had left his eyes bloodshot, and even after wiping his mouth, he coughed again, unsure of how much soup he had actually inhaled.Anna tested the temperature of the soup—it wasn’t too hot. How did he choke? she wondered.Then it hit her. No, it wasn’t the soup. It was because of Adriana’s remark.It had been three years since the divorce, filled with endless conflict and resentment. After everything, could he still be affected by her?Suppressing her emotions, Anna forced a smile, though her words carried an unmistakable sharpness. “Lawyer Clarke moves fast. You’ve already met the parents—are wedding discussions next?”She wasn’t about to give Adriana any face. If possible, she wanted to strip aw

A knowing line officially opened the topic of the day.At that moment, both Peter and Leon fell silent—this was not a cold arrow they were prepared to receive.Peter’s peripheral gaze landed on Calvin, who calmly said, “Stocks go up and down all the time. Grandpa has been in the business world most of his life and understands the laws of the market better than I do.”“Don’t blame the market for a malignant result caused by individual behavior. Do you think I don’t watch the news? Or do you think I’m deaf?”The statement was serious, and instantly, the atmosphere in the garden dropped to freezing. Peter and Leon held their breath in unison, not daring to make a sound.Calvin remained calm and composed. “What did Grandpa hear?”George let out a cold grunt, his frowning brows folding into deep, angry lines. His sharp eyes seemed to carry blades.“I haven’t been
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 302 It was a test
If a man cheats on his wife during the marriage, it’s considered a serious breach of marital obligations. The woman can hold him legally accountable, and in the event of a divorce, she may not only receive financial compensation but also have an advantage in gaining custody of the children.Adriana said calmly, “Special circumstances can certainly turn things around.”Jessica curled the corner of her mouth into a smirk. “I’ll find out.”The marriages of successful men often carried the shadow of extramarital affairs. If the defendant’s private misconduct could be uncovered, it would be in the plaintiff’s best interest to investigate thoroughly.After thinking for a moment, Jessica softened her tone and smiled. “Lawyer Clarke, thank you for being willing to help. I thought you didn’t want to get involved.”Adriana replied, “Work and personal life shouldn’t be mixed. And I&
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 301 You women are crazy
“Thank you for the invitation, but today is obviously not suitable for a door-to-door visit. I’ll treat you to dinner another day as a thank-you for your frequent help over the past two days, whether it’s rare for you or not.”Adriana didn’t give Calvin a chance to respond. Today, she would not set foot in his house again—no matter what.A man and a woman in a closed space—it was easy to make irrational decisions, especially for a woman. The atmosphere could quickly lead to something impulsive. And besides, she wasn’t entirely immune to Calvin’s charm.Calvin stood calmly outside the car door, noting the resistance in her eyes.“Very well. I’ll wait for Lawyer Clarke’s thank-you banquet!”He was testing Adriana’s boundaries little by little, figuring out how to get along with her.The corner of Adriana’s mouth twitched into a polite smile. “Goodbye.”Turning the car around, Adriana gripped the steering wheel. The open window let in fresh air, and the sunlight warmed her face. The most

“Huh?”Kevin thought he’d misheard. “Green Lake Village? The village you went to yesterday, President?”“Yes,” Calvin replied. “Especially the house on the hill—Tony’s place. Fix it up for the old woman. Send some furniture and get everything properly arranged. You can take care of the details.”Adriana glanced at his serious profile as he focused on driving. Her earlier embarrassment vanished in an instant, and her heart gave a subtle flutter.Kevin’s brain short-circuited for a second, then quickly caught up. “Understood, President. I’ll contact a construction team and arrange everything on site.”The call ended, and the car fell silent again.Adriana touched the bridge of her nose. “Um, I’ll thank you on their behalf.”Calvin chuckled. “Is the next thing you’re going to say, ‘You’re a good person’?”Well… that was almost exactly what she was about to say. But saying something like that now? With everything going on? It felt… a bit out of place.Calvin added, “You can say anything y
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 299 An awkward situation
Calvin looked at her as she instinctively reached out, her slender fingers curling with tension, knuckles protruding from the force.“Lawyer Clarke,” he said, “if you want something, just say it straight. There’s no need for adults to play games.”Adriana awkwardly lowered her head and cleared her throat. “Calvin, please watch your words. Can you not always say things that make people misunderstand? Like this morning, and just now—what exactly did you mean? Is there nothing else in your head besides that?”Calvin responded casually, “Which sentence did you misunderstand? Misunderstand what? Lawyer Clarke, please be specific. Maybe I’ll consider changing.”Adriana clenched her teeth and rolled her eyes at him, but couldn’t bring herself to explain further. “In short, it’s uncomfortable to hear.”When they found the car, Adriana was ready to hop into the driver’s seat, but Calvin pulled her toward the opposite side and shoved her gently into the passenger seat.“Be honest—sit. I’ll driv
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 298 The Little Prince
Calvin’s identity couldn’t be exposed. Once everyone knew he was the president of Grand Empire—the young master of the Walker family—wouldn’t that cause chaos?That was Adriana’s first reaction.Before she could speak, her body had already moved. She stepped in front of Calvin in a flash, blocking him protectively, and said calmly, “I am his personal lawyer. If there are any problems, I’ll handle them.”Calvin looked at Adriana. She was a bit disheveled, but still stunningly beautiful. This wasn’t something they had discussed in advance, and yet she had reacted purely on instinct. If he couldn’t see that she cared, then he wouldn’t be Calvin.A faint smile tugged at his lips, like the first rays of a new sun piercing through the morning mist—just enough to gently light up the dull earth around them.The local cops weren’t used to handling major cases. They hadn’t dealt with many lawyers before, so they didn’t question it much in the moment. Adriana skillfully shifted the focus, removi
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 297 What's your name?
She shouldn’t have zoned out on such a special day. Adriana skipped over the topic and looked up at the round patch of sky above her head. “Why hasn’t anyone come yet?”Calvin replied, “The nearest police station is in town. With their efficiency, we’ll be lucky if they arrive before dawn.”Adriana sighed, "Yeah... there are just some things you have to know and accept."“Are you just going to stand there? Planning to turn into a statue?”She patted the dirt next to her, then thought better of it and pulled some hay over to make a rough cushion. “Don’t be shy, big brother. Sit down. Who knows how long we’ll be stuck here?”Scar chimed in, “Those guys are seriously unreliable. Might as well sit and wait.”Hearing a gangster complain about the police made Adriana laugh. “From the sound of it, you’ve had some experience?”Scar scratched his head, embarrassed. “Not too many times…”The cave wasn't big enough to tire Calvin, but sitting beside Adriana and gazing at the sky felt like a mome
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 296 The so-called “520.”
Calvin listened as Adriana half‑chatted, half‑joked, half‑bluffed—effortlessly weaving her way into Scar’s mind and pulling out all his secrets. He couldn’t help but be impressed again.Was the girl he used to know really Adriana?He spoke calmly. “Where’s the rope?”Adriana looked around carefully and had to admit the truth. “The rope was yanked away.”In the darkness, she couldn’t clearly see Calvin’s expression—but she didn’t need to. He was probably frowning. That was one of his little habits. Maybe he hadn’t noticed it himself, but whenever he was annoyed or in a bad mood, he always squeezed his eyebrows together—and the depth of that crease depended on the seriousness of the situation.Scar cursed under his breath. “Son of a bitch! Bunch of assholes!”Adriana glanced up at the cave’s entrance, eyeballing its height, then turned to Calvin.“Can you fly up there?”Scar stared in disbelief. “You… can fly?”Calvin frowned. “No.”Adriana pursed her lips. Her body was exhausted—there
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 295 Are you police?
Scar couldn’t help but feel terrified. Adriana knew he wasn’t a core team member, and she didn’t expect him to hold any key information—but each knock on the door was another ray of hope.Adriana didn’t mince words. “I’m going to ask you a few simple questions. Answer them truthfully. Once we find out you’ve lied, forget saving your life—you won’t even walk out of this place alive.”Scar weighed his options. Based on their words, could they be trusted?However, he had no choice. A good man shouldn’t have to lie—but this woman was right: even if he escaped, his big brother would never trust him again. After a moment, he nodded. “You ask. I’ll tell you everything I know.”Calvin stood diagonally behind Adriana, one hand in his pants pocket, the other ready to protect immediately.The vegetable cellar was cramped and stifling, but Adriana felt as if Calvin’s presence purified the air. Whenever he stood near her, it seemed to grow clear and fresh.“How old are you?”Scar froze. Why is she
