Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 18 Don't come over
“You… Shut up!” Naturally, George wouldn’t question his grandson in front of outsiders, so the one in the wrong could only be Adriana.“Have you forgotten how many benefits your family received from the Walker family? Even if you work for your lifetime, you still can’t repay them! And do you think you deserve to say that you owe us nothing!”Adriana laughed bitterly, “Good, good, very good! After being held back for so many years, you finally said it out! What, are you feeling bad?”At this moment, Adriana wanted to say that, what my family had taken from your family, I will return a single penny!But she knew that she didn’t have the strength to do so. Even if her father, brother, and everyone in our family sell their bones and meet to compensate, it will not be enough.“The day we got divorced, we made it clear that from now on there is no longer any relationship between us and we will not interfere in each other lives. If it weren’t for your grandson forcing me to be his lawyer, le

Adriana didn’t remember how she walked out of the Walker family villa and went to the hospital.Sitting on the hospital bed, Adriana tried her best not to shed tears.The nurse who was dressing her wound saw her painful expression and said softly, “The wound is too deep, so it must be painful. If you can’t endure it, you can cry out! It’s okay!”Adriana lowered her head as the tears rolled down from her eyes and fell on her pants. She didn’t make any sound, only her shoulders trembled.Yes, it hurt… the wound hurt.However, the pain in her shoulder was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.Calvin had made her his lawyer, just to take revenge on her. Adriana wanted to stay away from him, but because of the amount of breach of contract, she couldn’t do it. In short, right now she was like a mouse in Calvin’s hand, who could pinch her neck anytime.Calvin was the cruelest person Adriana had met in her life. She hated the day she fell in love with that heartless man.Adriana was rest

Getting a hit from George wasn't that bad, as after that day, Calvin didn’t come to look for her, and she had a few peaceful days.Adriana went to the law firm as usual, looked at the case file, set the date for court, and met the defendant’s lawyer.As expected, Calvin didn’t appear in court himself but sent the head of the technical department of Grand Empire. The man in front of her was in his forties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a formal suit, exuding a noble aura.It was probably the corporate culture of the Grand Empire, as even the few staff sitting in the audience had a noble temperament.According to Calvin’s request, the Grand Empire asked the other party to pay a compensation of $2 million. This figure was much higher than the previous similar lawsuits, so it was rejected.However, Adriana had expected that.After the court, Adriana and the executive briefly chatted. The main reason was that she wanted him to talk to Calvin. If the compensation claim were reduced to the

The female doctor looked at Adriana’s wound and frowned angrily, “You are such a big person, but how can you be even worse than a child? Even children knew that wounds can’t touch water. Aren’t you afraid of infection?”Adriana frowned in pain but didn’t argue with the doctor, “It gets wet while bathing. Please help me apply more medicine to it.”The doctor frowned, “The wound is infected. I will help you deal with it. If you can’t take it for more days, then just stick to two days. Just don’t take a bath for two days. Anyway, it’s not that hot.”Adriana nodded, but in her mind, she thought about what Calvin had said.At that time, they had been married for less than a week. One time, Adriana was busy for a whole day and when she came back, she was so tired that she didn’t want to move from the sofa. She looked at him and said softly, “Today, I am too tired and didn’t want to take a bath.”Calvin looked at her, “Do you still think that you are not dirty enough?”His tone was not jokin

Sitting in the car, Adriana's mind was in a mess.If it were any other person, once Adriana knew his identity, she would certainly go over to thank him personally.But how could it happen to be Calvin?The accident happened to be at night, and the neighborhood she lives in is in the opposite direction of the place where Calvin lives. So, how did he happen to be in her neighborhood?Anyone with a little bit of brain could tell that Calvin was following her.‘But why did he do it? To see how she was doing. To make snide remarks?’‘No! With such a warm and beautiful woman by his side, there was no reason for him to come to look for his ex-wife, by leaving beauty alone at home.’So, after overruling all the impossibilities, the only most believable reason she could think of is that the great Mr. Calvin Walker must have something wrong with his brain.Adriana was about to send him a thank you message, but after thinking for a while, she put her phone back into her bag.Since he does good t

This was his black history and he only told them once when he was drunk.Seeing him in a daze, Mona kicked his leg, “Brother, don’t tell me you are still thinking about her?”Aidan depressingly stuffed the few mouthfuls of food and said, “What’s the big deal about being dumped? Who hadn’t been hurt in love once? Why would I think about her? I don’t even remember her.”Adriana nodded as he handed him a glass of juice, “Right! Who hasn’t fallen out of love once? It’s okay, heartbreaks make people stronger.”Aidan was tired of thinking about the bad things in the past and didn’t want to talk about it again. He drank the juice and asked, “What about you? How many boyfriends do you have?”Adriana smiled, “Let me search the database and do a tally.”Aidan rolled his eyes in strategic contempt of her.Mona became interested as she asked, “Adriana, when was your last relationship? Why did you guys break up? I am sure, it must be you who had dumped the other party.”Mona was Aidan’s cousin and

“Are you busy? Why don’t you buy me a drink?”It’s been already four hours past the end of work time, however, Calvin was still in his office, dealing with a pile of papers in front of him. He always stayed late in his office and worked overtime. He seemed didn’t know what exhaustion was, as he looked at the black and white characters in front of his eyes flying fast alternating.So, after being disturbed by Henry, Calvin was not in a good mood. He said coldly, “There are a lot of oleander downstairs, mashed up, and drink as much as you want.”“Fuck! Calvin, can you not be so toxic? Have you taken your pills? It’s not that I am threatening you, however, if you don’t come to have a drink with me today, then don’t look me for cry if you regret it later?”Calvin didn’t say anything and was ready to hang up the phone.Of course, knowing Calvin’s temper, Henry used his ultimate move and said in a cheeky voice, “By the way, don’t you think Adriana has become even more beautiful than three y

Calvin leaned back against the sofa, folded his long legs, and placed them on the table, exuding a lethargic and wanton air to the extreme. "Where did you meet her?"Although he didn’t mention the name, Henry knew he was talking about Adriana.Henry looked at him mysteriously. "Guess."Calvin said, "Don’t you want to drink more?"Hearing that, Henry quickly picked up the bottle in his hand. "Don’t mind me! I was kidding!"He had only taken a few sips.Fearing that Calvin would really take the bottle away, he quickly poured himself a glass. "Where else could I meet her? Of course, at the hospital. She was injured and came for treatment. I checked her medical records. Blunt force trauma, wounds oozing pus—the injuries were shocking. Even a strong man would flinch at the sight of them."Calvin slid his finger over his cell phone, saying nothing.She got a bruise from Grandpa hitting her with an ashtray. Was it still not healed?Henry paused before continuing in a somber tone. "It’s not e

Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 170 His eyes get inflamed
“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
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 166 He was in love with Adriana
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—
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 164 My people
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
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 163 Lawyer Clarke, are we meeting by chance?
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
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 162 Do you like her?
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
