Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 134 Calvin had depression
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

Two women addicted to fighting didn’t know that Calvin, afraid of them clashing outside the door, had already gone to watch the battle unfold. Every word of their conversation—he heard it all, not missing a single detail.He knew in his heart how much of Adriana’s words were true and how much were false.Even so, when he heard her say, “Mrs. Walker’s throne is hanging in the air; who can claim it, we shall see,” the corners of his mouth betrayed him, curling upward into a faint smile.This woman—only when quarreling or fighting with Anna would she dare to put her name together with his.As for the supposed feeling of how she felt. He’d like to ask himself how, exactly, she was felt with him?****Back at home, Adriana sat brooding, anger simmering beneath the surface.She was furious—furious at herself for agreeing to cooperate with Calvin once again.Furious at her lack of

The sampling and blood draw were complete, and Snow grew even more nervous. She clung to Adriana’s arm, her skin pale as death beneath the mask and sunglasses.“Adria,” Snow said, her voice trembling, “if I really… if something did happen, we can’t make a big deal out of it.”Adriana sighed deeply. “You’re worried about your career?”Snow looked disheveled, her thoughts unraveling. “The new movie was just signed. If I lose this opportunity to turn my life around, I might never get another chance. If a scandal breaks out now, even if I win the case, I’ll lose everything. Society’s tolerance for women is so low. I’ll probably be forced to retire from the industry.”Her voice faltered, and she added bitterly, “And the few fans I have left will disappear from the radar, too.”Illegal things happen every day, but most victims choose to stay silent or s
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-23Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 141 Where are you?
After taking a shower and coming out of the bathroom, Calvin looked at the opposite building again. It was still dark, and it didn’t seem like anyone had returned.Over the past two days, he had been sleeping a little better than before. Last night, Calvin slept for more than five hours, which was already a huge improvement compared to the past. Determined to maintain this good habit, Calvin decided on the mantra: out of sight, out of mind.After adjusting the telescope to a different direction, he lay down to brew some sleep.Calvin tried to close his eyes and rest his mind. He attempted to empty his brain and meditate, cycling through all the hypnotic techniques Rose had taught him.But by two or three in the morning, his eyes snapped open again.His mind was so clear that he could recite fifty digits of pi. If he were to take the college entrance exam right now, he thought, a perfect math score wouldn’t be an issue.Getting ou

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
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 294 Who the hell are you?
“Ahhhh!”The man let out a pig-slaughtering scream.“Scar! Scar, don’t be impulsive—ahhh!”Scar spat out several expletives. “Damn it! Who the hell are you?!”Calvin said coldly, “You don’t deserve to know.”Scar snapped back, “Bullshit! Trying to scare me? Do you even know who I am?!”Adriana’s limbs were exploding with pain, but through the haze, she quietly wiped some of the man’s blood and smeared it on her clothes, keeping the fingerprints. As long as she got out, they’d be able to identify who he was.In the dark, she groped for her cellphone in her pocket, relying on muscle memory. She found the shortcut key and tapped to begin recording…Now all she needed was for her jaw to recover—then she could ask questions and produce testimony.“Mmm! Uhhh!”Adriana struggled to make any sound, her voice warped into strange syllables. It was harder than she thought, but she didn’t care about appearances anymore. Not now.Sensing her distress, Calvin turned his fury into cold viciousness.
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 293 I’ve got your woman
Adriana’s scalp tingled, and she swallowed hard. “That…”She didn’t have claustrophobia, but staring into the depths of a dark pit with no visible bottom was still a little creepy. Who knew what might be lurking down there?And it wasn’t winter anymore—global warming was real. The winter insects were waking up. What if something alive was down there?The hair on the top of her head practically stood on end.“I mean… let me take a look first.”She turned on her phone’s flashlight and leaned over to peer into the hole. But the beam didn’t focus well—it barely cut through the darkness. There was a corner inside, and she couldn’t see anything beyond it.Calvin watched her small, hesitant movements for a moment, silently amused, before saying, “Lawyer Clarke, it’s only right to dedicate yourself for the sake of justice.”Adriana forced a noble look, half-expecting Calvin to go down himself and gallantly let her stay at the top.She really had thought too much.“You tie the rope to the tree
