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

At that moment, the door of the private room opened again, and a handsome man walked in. As he approached, the strong smell of alcohol wafted from his body.Ray hung up the phone and walked familiarly to his exclusive seat—a short sofa on the right. As he settled in, a waiter approached, helping him remove his suit jacket and thoughtfully whispering to ask what he needed.Ray said, "Today, I’ll eat vegetarian."It meant no women.The waiter understood and, without disturbing them further, quietly exited the room.Henry’s hands didn’t stay idle. He touched and teased the woman beside him and asked, "What’s wrong? Are you tired? It’s rare to see you eating veggies."Ray loosened his tie and dropped himself onto the sofa in a disheartened manner, one arm propped up, revealing a Rolex watch. Even his sophisticated attire couldn’t conceal his exhaustion."Don’t ask! I was almost drowned in alcohol by those old cronies tonight."Calvin snorted coldly. "The entertainment industry hasn’t been

In the evening, the Grand Empire lawyers dined at Savory Spice Heaven.Adriana kept her thoughts to herself—after all, her last traumatic experience had taken place here, and revisiting the same place felt like an emotional wipeout.As they entered the private dining room, Marshal smiled and said, “Lawyer Clarke, this way, please.”Marshal, holding the highest position, rightfully should have taken the seat across from the door. However, he reached out to invite Adriana instead, even offering her the most honorable chair.Wasn’t that cynicism?Adriana politely declined, took a seat on the left side, and pulled out a chair. “Minister Marshal, you are too polite. You are the host, and I am the guest. Where is the reasoning in competing with the host for a seat?”Lawyer Miller smiled. “Lawyer Clarke, with your relationship with the president, why be so modest? Not to mention just a single seat—this entire restaurant must look up to you!”Adriana didn’t show even a hint of anger. She simp

Carson wasn’t blind, nor was he stupid. The lingering redness at the corner of Adriana’s mouth wasn’t from accidentally scraping it while drinking water.“You left too quickly at lunch. I hadn’t finished what I was saying. Busy now?” he asked.Adriana replied calmly, “Just finished work. I was about to head down.”Carson nodded, finally turning his attention to Calvin, who was practically radiating hostility. “Calvin, I’ll be taking my person with me. I wouldn’t want to disturb your office. See you later.”Calvin’s fingers casually brushed over the corner of his mouth. Then, as if savoring the moment, he deliberately glanced at the faint traces left on Adriana’s lips—his traces.“Miss Clarke, seven o’clock—don’t be late.”Adriana’s head buzzed for a moment. Can’t you phrase it more clearly? Now it sounded like they had some private rendezvous.She quickly corrected him. “Of course, Mr. Calvin. The Grand Empire Legal Department is full of industry elites. I’ll be sure to learn from the
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 173 Why didn't you answer the phone?
Adriana knocked on the door and entered after receiving Calvin’s permission. “This is—”Before she could finish, Calvin’s landline rang. He gestured for her to come forward while answering the call.“Cancel tomorrow’s appointment with General Manager Park. Is he waiting for my time, or am I waiting for his? Let him think carefully before reaching out again."It seemed like things weren’t going his way over there, and Calvin’s tone was strong.Adriana placed the two documents on her left and right and waited with her head lowered.Calvin answered three calls in a row. Ten minutes passed before he finally freed himself. “What’s this?”“This one is paperwork, and this one is a document the secretary asked me to bring in,” Adriana replied.Calvin wasn’t sure he had heard her correctly. “The secretary told you to bring it in?”“She had an emergency and had to meet someone in the parlor. I just happened to be delivering something to you, so she asked me to bring this along.”Calvin leaned b
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 172 What's with the president today?
The deeper meaning was self-evident—she had been discarded in the divorce, yet now she was being specially invited to participate in an important case for the company.Marshal could see this implication, and the others weren’t foolish either. Sensing the situation, they quickly followed suit, laughing and saying:“Thanks to the president’s appreciation, today’s hardest-working person is Lawyer Clarke. She wrote the entire draft, and it took a great deal of effort.”“Lawyer Clarke is meticulous in her work—a role model for us all.”“Despite her age, Lawyer Clarke considers issues with remarkable depth and a fresh perspective.”Adriana didn’t feel pleased. Instead, she felt immense pressure.These people were experts at reading the room. The moment they sensed Calvin’s attitude toward her, they immediately started singing her praises.She kept her expression neutral and replied modestly, “Compared to all of you, I’m still a novice. I’m grateful that you seniors are willing to guide me d
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 171 Pastry's from Tasty Bites
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
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
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 168 Twisted melon is not sweet
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
