Chapter 163 Lawyer Clarke, are we meeting by chance?
Last Updated:
2025-03-29 17:00:00At 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

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

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—

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.

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

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

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

“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

Frequent in and out of Grand Empire, Adriana is considered a familiar face. The front desk does not repeatedly confirm her visit time—just a simple inquiry, and then they let her through.Adriana took the lift to the Legal Department and went straight to the conference room.Marshal Cooper, the head of the Legal Department, was the first to stand up and greet her. “Lawyer Clarke, this way, please.”Adriana recognized some of the people from the Grand Empire Legal Department. After all, they were the ones who had drafted the divorce agreement between her and Calvin back then.Take Marshal, for example—the legendary pickpocket. If he was involved in a case, the opposing party would either lose layers of skin or pay a hefty fine.She had personally experienced it.But nowadays, everyone pretended not to know each other.Adriana nodded and sat down in the seat marked with her name tag, thinking to herself that Grand Empire was indeed a rigorous and sophisticated corporation. Even for a sm

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&

“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
