Chapter 141 Where are you?
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2025-03-23 13:46:45After 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.

That’s not the point. The point is, digging into this won’t be far from Calvin, Adriana thought. Not to mention, Kevin doesn’t even match the guy in the photo.Calvin trusted Kevin completely.After a moment of consideration, Adriana said, “Public opinion hasn’t fully erupted yet. First, handle the public relations to minimize the impact. Then have the PR and legal teams contact the woman. There’s likely someone supporting her from behind the scenes—she doesn’t seem bold enough to pull this off alone.”Kevin wanted to tell her that the president had already given these orders and they were being carried out, but instead, he simply replied, “Understood. Also, since you’re a key witness, may I trouble you to come to Grand Empire? Our legal department would like to discuss the situation with you in detail and decide on the best approach.”Adriana had no reason to refuse. “Okay, I’ll head over as soon as possible.”Snow appeared from her room, rubbing her head. She saw Adriana hurriedly w

Calvin’s face was dark, a storm cloud hovering over him, ready to erupt at any moment. “At your age, you should have graduated from kindergarten long ago. So, why do you still think like a naïve five- or six-year-old child? Do you really think you can resolve this matter by writing a simple text statement? If it were that easy, wouldn’t lawyers be out of a job?”Adriana felt frustrated and disheartened. She had offered her opinion from a professional perspective, yet not only did Calvin dismiss it, but he also hit back with biting sarcasm. Thankfully, there were no outsiders in the office to witness the scene. She refused to back down. “You’re questioning my professionalism, which means you must have a better plan. So, what’s your solution?”Kevin stood stiffly by the door, like a soldier bracing for a storm. He feared being caught in the crossfire, the fallout enough to ruin his day.Calvin pulled out a document and slammed it onto the table. “This is the indictment prepared by the l

Adriana’s eyes widened as she let out a soulful question. “Why are you holding my driver’s license?”Did you actually steal my driver’s license? she thought suspiciously.Calvin didn’t bother to explain. “I picked it up.”Adriana laughed coldly, the humor not reaching her eyes. “That’s just awesome.”“Not as awesome as you. Someone had to throw it away for me to pick it up.”****At noon, Adriana reluctantly acted as Calvin’s chauffeur. After driving him to the Star Tower, he got out of the car and said curtly, “Wait for me here.”Before Adriana could protest, he turned around and walked away in large strides.It was a long wait—two hours. Once again, Adriana missed her lunch. However, she’d learned her lesson from before. Midway through the wait, she stopped by a convenience store to grab a sandwich and a coffee.“Yogurt for you, pretty lady? And if you buy a second cup, it will be a half price,” the clerk offered.She paused. It was her favorite brand—low fat and low sugar—and the s

Adriana wanted to glance back over her shoulder and laugh, but she held herself back. “What can I do? I’m poor, so I have to be careful with my money,” she said with a small shrug.She was telling the truth—though it was slightly exaggerated.“Saying the word ‘poor’ makes it all make sense, huh?” Calvin replied skeptically.He had never tried food from a convenience store before. Picking up the cold sandwich in his hand, he stared at it for a moment, unsure whether to eat it or not.Seeing Calvin frowning at the sandwich, Adriana deliberately added, “The discounted food is usually close to expiring. So if you’re going to eat it, eat it quickly. It’ll taste even worse if you let it sit for too long.”Calvin’s face darkened further. “You bought me this cheap food on purpose, didn’t you?”Adriana kept her eyes on the road as she drove. She opened the yogurt bottle with her right hand and handed it to him. “This one’s new! I already drunk the one that was about to expire. And yogurt doesn

The person in charge of the engineering department noticed Calvin’s face, and his face paled slightly. Striding over to greet him, the man quickly instructed his assistant to fetch a helmet.Calvin took the helmet and put it on, glancing at the construction scene. “The outer wall tiles will be laid this afternoon. Have the workers come down for now.”The person in charge nodded with a polite smile. “Indeed, indeed. It’s too hot today, and I’ve been worried about the workers getting heatstroke. I’ll send them to work indoors for now.”Adriana, who had also donned a helmet, walked inside alongside Calvin. “I didn’t expect you to actually think about the workers,” she remarked.Calvin checked the site as he walked, his gaze steady and calculating. “The safety of the workers is directly tied to the progress of the project. Rather than taking risks to rush the timeline, it’s better to move steadily. This isn’t kindness; it’s just common sense.”Adriana trailed behind him, catching probing

The person in charge of engineering was too nervous to sleep properly—let alone the person at the helm.The weight of responsibility on Calvin’s shoulders was heavier than anyone else’s. Adriana thought.“Not so much,” he said coldly, offering only three clipped words.His personality was like this, and Adriana had long since grown used to it. “You could try improving your sleep with breathing techniques, adjusting your diet, or practicing yoga and meditation. Those things are helpful for better sleep,” she suggested.Calvin’s phone rang. He answered it quickly, responding with a few curt words: “Good.” “Can.” “Um.” The call lasted less than a minute before he hung up.“You are speaking like as if you are an expert in treating sleep disorders,” he remarked, his tone laced with cold sarcasm.Adriana wasn’t angry at his words or his tone. She was used to his ability to make even the most neutral content sound upsetting. “After Clarke’s accident, my parents struggled with insomnia for a

Henry spent half the day indulging in self-importance, only to uncover the key point at the very end.Could it be that Adriana invited him for coffee because she had something important to ask? he wondered.Does she also have insomnia, like Calvin?Adriana took a sip of her coffee and said casually, without giving it much weight, "It's not me; I slept quite well. It's my friend. He seems to have had sleep problems for quite a long time."Henry didn't think too much of it. After all, these days, insomnia was a common symptom for city dwellers. High-rise buildings were full of late-night wanderers. So, he said, "If it's mild, try melatonin or something to calm the mind. But if it's serious, proper treatment is necessary."Thinking about the medicine Calvin was already taking, Adriana added, "It's serious, and he's also a little depressed."Although, truth be told, she couldn’t quite see where Calvin’s depression lay. Aren’t his subordinates under far more stress than he is? she thought

After some cheeky banter, Adriana asked Snow about her plans for the evening. Snow replied that she would go home and celebrate with a beer."Okay, I’ll call Aidan too," Adriana said.She then headed to the supermarket to buy ingredients for a hot pot at Snow’s place.Meanwhile, Aidan was in agony. “No hot pot, save me! I’ve been kidnapped by my parents for a blind date!”Adriana tossed a pack of hot pot meatballs into her shopping cart. “You’re a grown man, and you’re still afraid of blind dates? It’s just dinner and exchanging numbers. If you both don't hit off, just let it go.”“No. no, this time is different!” Aidan groaned. “The other party’s family is a business partner of mine. To put it bluntly, I’m being sold—practically auctioned off by my parents. Adria, my dear classmate, come save me! You are the only one who can save me!”Aidan sounded as if he were on the verge of tears.Adriana couldn’t help but ask, “Where is it?”Aidan hurriedly gave her the address. “The Red String

“Deputy Director Carson, you can be bold in choosing your rivals, but there’s no need to drag me into the vanguard.” Adriana wrenched her wrist, trying to push the man away.Carson overpowered her effortlessly, not budging. “What’s your relationship with Calvin? Judging by your reaction, it doesn’t seem like you’re in love. What is it? Does he have his eyes on you and want to possess you?”From his words, Adriana could at least be certain that he didn’t know about her past with Calvin. That was a relief.She forced a stubborn smile. “In what capacity is Deputy Director Carson inquiring about my private life?”Carson’s smile widened as if he had just received a long-awaited gift. “What identity would you like me to use? Or maybe you’d rather assign me a new one? Boyfriend would be nice.”People were all different from one another.Adriana clutched her bag in front of her, and for some reason, the image of sleeping in the car with Calvin last night surfaced in her mind. Her cheeks flush
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 169 This sorry, what it is for?
Adriana didn’t really want to talk to Jessica. She didn’t think there was anything worth discussing.“Go ahead.”However, the red veins in Jessica’s tired eyes and her overall haggard appearance stirred a bit of sympathy in Adriana, softening her heart.In the empty conference room, only the two of them remained—one with swollen, tear-filled eyes and the other still trying to sort out the mess in her head and heart. The atmosphere wavered between awkwardness and tension.Jessica sat down by the window, the light casting shadows over her face, making half of it bright while the other half remained dark. Tears welled up in her eyes.“Lawyer Clarke, I’m sorry.”Adriana sat diagonally across from her. The chair had been moved slightly out of place—she didn’t bother adjusting it, only tilting her head to the side as she observed Jessica.“This apology… what is it for?”Was it for talking behind my back? Or for ganging up on me at the firm to isolate me? Adriana wondered.She had already he

Adriana pulled up the neckline of her dress, trying to cover as much skin as possible. "Calvin, you don’t actually want to do something like this here, do you?"What was the point of all their conversations if they led to this?She had already brought up the biggest conflict between them to remind him to stop bothering her. Why didn’t he have any sense at all?Calvin suddenly looked as if he had lost his memory, completely forgetting the tense and somber atmosphere from just a few minutes ago. Instead, his expression darkened with something more dangerous, his gaze sweeping over her. "Wearing such a sexy dress… isn’t it just to attract a man’s attention? Physically speaking, I’d say you made the right choice."He rolled over, about to press down on her, but Adriana braced herself with her hands, pushing against him. Her neck tilted back as far as possible to avoid his mouth. "Calvin, if you do this, I will really have to sue you for harassment! Don’t touch me!"Calvin wasn’t truly try

Calvin’s mother, who had never been impressed with Adriana and looked down on the Clarke family, immediately demanded that the wedding be called off.Desperate, Adriana had begged her father to donate a large sum of money to the temple, hoping to persuade a senior monk to break the so-called curse.The old monk hesitated, his expression troubled, as if altering fate itself was an impossible task. He spoke in riddles, his words elusive and difficult to grasp. But in the end, he told her:"Girl, if you truly wish to marry him… it may lead to death. You must think carefully."He never revealed a way to break the curse.And what happened afterward proved his warning true.As Calvin secured the final wrap of the bandage, his gaze darkened with anger."Adriana, you’ve studied for so many years, even gone abroad for further education, and yet you still believe in this feudal superstition?"Adriana’s moist eyes shimmered, her lips curving into a fragile, almost mechanical smile."You still ho

Calvin bent down to step out of the car, then locked the door behind him.Adriana was flabbergasted. She slapped the car door furiously.“Calvin! What are you doing? Open the door for me!”She took two steps back, then returned, rolling the window down just a crack to let in some air. The door remained locked.“Stubborn, huh? Good. Keep being stubborn,” she muttered.A wave of fear crept in. She knew Calvin was perfectly capable of doing something this absurd—locking her in the car overnight to make her reflect.“Calvin! Come back! Do you hear me? This is illegal imprisonment! Calvin!”His footsteps remained steady, quick, until he disappeared into the lift entrance.Adriana was so angry she collapsed weakly against the passenger seat, frustration twisting inside her.He always had a way of humiliating people.****Meanwhile, the lift shot straight to the top floor.
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 165 Adriana, do you love me?
After the burst of extreme speed, the hostility in Calvin’s body eased slightly, allowing him to finally look calmly at the pale woman in the passenger seat.(To verify if you love her or not will only takes one move.)(How do you feel when she’s with another man? If you’re angry, anxious, and pissed off, then, my friend, congratulations—I am afraid, you’ve been in love with her for a long time.)Suddenly the method given by Henry came into his mind.Calvin hadn’t wanted to try it, but instead of endlessly guessing and dwelling on it, he felt that wasn’t it better to seek a definitive answer?Thus, once again, he lost himself in thought and allowed Kevin to inquire about Adriana’s whereabouts that night.As he drove, his mind replayed the past. His six-year feud with Adriana had long since swallowed up anything resembling love. That so-called love—already on the verge of extinction—

Cold fronts, as sharp as blades, cut through the thick night, and beneath the moonlight, the man’s eyes were colder than steel.His face was clear and emotionless, revealing neither joy nor anger. Yet, the plummeting temperature around him silently warned that he was in no good mood.Adriana was momentarily stunned.How did Calvin end up here? she thought.Was he one of the guests tonight? No, if the head of Grand Empire had been invited, the news would have spread like wildfire at the law firm.Was it just a coincidence?True, this place was home to many powerful tycoons, and the environment was beautiful. But in the middle of the night, Calvin hardly seemed like someone who would be out for a leisurely stroll.Before she could think further, a firm grip wrapped around her arm.With ease, Calvin pulled her out of Carson’s hold, yanking her back. Yet, it wasn’t just an act of pulling her away—his own bod

At the end of the awards ceremony, Adriana held a delicate crystal trophy in her hands. “Aidan, thank you!”Aidan, looking like an old father marrying off his daughter, was on the verge of tears, his emotions overflowing. “You… you! Why pretend to be clueless when you were so well prepared?”Adriana tilted her head and pouted. “I wanted to surprise you too!”Aidan let out a defeated sigh. “Fine, fine. Whatever you say. You always have an excuse.”Mona’s starry eyes practically sparkled with admiration. “Master, I now officially announce that you and Lawyer Clarke are tied for first place!”Adriana playfully tapped the bridge of Mona’s nose. “Didn’t you say that Mark wasn’t a good person, that he was too calculating?”Mona cupped her small hands around her cheeks, blinking mischievously. “Well… when it comes to his promotion, a

Yes, she could call herself his lover, but in truth, she was nothing more than a convenient, long-term bed companion. She had never truly entered Carson’s heart.Carson had made this painfully clear early on: “If you’re with me, I’ll give you whatever you want. But don’t expect me to be single-minded, and don’t even think about marrying into the Collen family.”Despite this, Jessica wasn’t willing to give up. She believed that with enough time, effort, and deeper feelings, she could eventually win Carson over and become irreplaceable.She had been careful and patient, biding her time and putting in painstaking effort. She thought she was finally close to achieving her goal…Snap!Jessica dropped her wine glass in frustration, her hand trembling uncontrollably.“Adriana’s heart is too deep,” she muttered bitterly. “She acts like she’s above everything, like she doesn’t fight for anything. But in reality, she’s secretly taking it all!”Selena gritted her teeth and cast a sharp glance to
