The warmth of his hand brushed against the skin of her arm, and after a brief moment of tension, an awkwardness settled between them. Adriana instinctively twisted her arm, pulling away from his protective stance.Calvin’s sense of loss was fleeting—so subtle it was almost imperceptible. He furrowed his thick brows and asked, “Aren’t you afraid? Go wait over there.”Afraid? Of course, she was afraid. But Adriana wanted to see for herself how the cockroach would be dealt with. After all, Calvin wouldn’t be here to kill them every day. If another one appeared, wouldn’t she have to face it alone?“I’m fine. They… at least don’t bite.”Calvin glanced at her pursed lips and the way she shrank back slightly. He seemed to guess what she was thinking. Tilting his head slightly, he said, “Move back in. You won’t have to deal with things like this.”Adriana ignored his words and urged in a dry voice, “Hurry up and find it. It’s still in the house, probably hiding in a corner.”“Aren’t you suppo

It appeared that it had not been withdrawn.Adriana said truthfully, “I… It’s…”Before she could finish, Calvin interrupted her, “A man’s head. Can you just touch it casually?”It was originally just a virtual operation, not to mention that it had been a simple misclick on her part. But somehow, Calvin’s explanation made it seem more serious than it actually was.To prove that it was just a harmless joke within the small program, Adriana went back to the living room to grab her phone. She then returned to the doorway, blocking Calvin, who had just stepped one foot inside. “You probably haven’t played with it yet, right? You seem to have misunderstood that the ‘pat a pat’ function doesn’t necessarily mean patting someone’s head. You can use it freely.”She tapped on the feature and earnestly demonstrated it to him, as if forcibly proving he was making a big deal out of nothing. “This is Snow.”Then, she opened the emoji function and sent an icon of a bag full of money to herself. A mes

Last night, Calvin moved closer to her ear with a tingling touch. Could it have been a kiss? She didn’t notice anything unusual when she washed up in the morning, nothing behind her ears, just in the blind spot of her vision.“You’re looking at it all wrong. It could just be allergies.”Jenny’s workstation was also in the hall. Now and then, she didn’t listen to Selena’s discussion, but Aidan had strictly reminded everyone not to engage in gossip in the law firm. As the senior member of the firm and Aidan’s most capable assistant, she had always followed his rules. Today, seeing the evidence of the crime on Adriana's body, she only dared to ask a few questions.“Lawyer Clarke, don’t be embarrassed. Your boyfriend sent you a bouquet of flowers a few days ago. He seems to be quite attentive. You’re not living together, are you?”Adriana coughed, “Secretary Jenny, Director Aiden is looking for you.”A slender figure in black walked outside the door, but it wasn’t Aidan. The low, furious

Including Marshal, they all expected Adriana to lose control when she heard the news—or at the very least, for her expression to turn ugly. However, she simply smiled graciously, as if she didn’t take it seriously at all.“It seems that the president has a private jet, so why doesn’t he fly there directly? How is this related to our itinerary?”For an ordinary woman, shouldn’t her first reaction be to question the relationship between Calvin and Anna? Why was she focused on the means of transportation instead?Marshal’s gaze shifted before he chuckled. “Oh, that? We’re not sure about the president’s arrangements. Perhaps he has his own reasons.”Adriana didn’t press for details and maintained her composed smile. “That’s right. How could a subordinate possibly guess the leader’s intentions? Minister Marshal, let’s head to the meeting.”Marshal’s smile remained unreadable. “Okay, let’s go to the meeting.”Walking beside them, Anderson struggled to suppress his irritation. Was Adriana me

There was only one person in the office—Calvin—and no sign of Anna.One gone, and the next summoned. Who could beat Calvin in shamelessness?Adriana couldn't help but sneer. “President, what are your instructions?”Calvin had no idea what was going through her mind. He only noticed the impatience in her expression. Leaning back in his chair, he met her gaze with a distant look. “Lawyer Clarke, are you in a bad mood?”Adriana remained standing across from him, unwilling to sit. The less time she spent here, the better. “Personal emotions shouldn’t interfere with work. I remember your reminder well. President, you might as well get straight to the point.”Calvin frowned slightly, noticing the exhaustion beneath her eyes. His tone was neutral as he spoke. “Did my words from yesterday push you to burn the midnight oil, striving for excellence? Geniuses aren’t made overnight.”Adriana couldn’t tell what he meant—was it concern, mockery, or a lecture?“There’s a lot of information in the ca

Calvin’s private jet has direct flights to London, so why is he taking a commercial flight?Seeing him appear across the cabin—even in the luxurious interior of first class—Adriana still found it incredulous. “I remember you never traveled on a civilian flight before.”Do you want me to repeat Calvin’s original words?'(I don’t have time to check in, and I’m not in the mood to fight for a mouthful of oxygen with a bunch of good and bad people crammed into a confined space.)Calvin crossed one leg over the other, his entire demeanor effortlessly blending with the seat, exuding just the right amount of elegance. “Charlie Munger never took private planes for work travel. First, because big planes are safer. Second, because you meet all kinds of people and get a better understanding of social dynamics.”Heh! Whether horizontally or vertically, it’s still just him being him.Adrian

For the rest of the ten-hour long-haul flight, Calvin sat next to Anna. The two of them either spoke in hushed voices, occasionally writing and sketching on documents, or exchanged light smiles.Even during meals, they continued chatting, creating an atmosphere of perfect harmony.Their voices were so low that Adriana couldn’t make out what they were discussing. She tried to focus on her papers, determined not to let irrelevant thoughts distract her.Eventually, she drifted off to sleep, still clutching her documents. When she woke, the cabin was unusually quiet. Most passengers were asleep, the reading lights dimmed by the flight attendants, leaving only a soft, hazy glow in the first-class section.It was then that she noticed Anna leaning against the back of her chair, her head tilted slightly toward Calvin. At first glance, it almost looked as if they were nestled together, sleeping.The seats were adjusted to the perfect recline for rest

Adriana was confused.Adriana, what?In those six years, it was the first time she had heard Calvin not call her by her full name or surname. His tone, alluring and suggestive, was enough to make anyone's heart waver.It was just a pity that the occasion was wrong, the purpose impure, and there was no tenderness or love—only endless disgust.Was he even a man?Soon to be married to someone else, yet here he was, treating her as if she were nothing but a past amusement. From time to time, he would tease her when he was in a good mood—offering a fleeting moment of sweetness, only to discard her without a second thought.He treated her as if she had no dignity, no pride.Secretly gritting her teeth and taking a shallow breath, Adriana turned her head to look at Calvin, a flawless smile gracing her lips—one worthy of an award-winning actress."Mr. Calvin, haven’t I told you before? Our relationship is now as

Jessica wiped away her tears and bowed at a neat ninety degrees. “Thank you, Deputy Director, for your guidance. I will repay you with my performance.”Carson waved her off impatiently and pointed toward the door. “Get out.”When Jessica walked out, a dozen pairs of eyes were fixed on her.Having just experienced the most humiliating social defeat of her life, she still managed to keep her composure. “Sorry to disappoint everyone,” she said. “I haven’t been dismissed, and I will not be leaving. We’ll continue to be colleagues. I hope we can separate personal matters from work and carry on professionally.”With that, she walked back to her workstation in long, confident strides, as if she had just won a battle.Jenny was stunned. Selena’s jaw practically hit the floor.Should she curse her—Shameless!—or nod in admiration and say—Crouching bull, hidden shameless queen!?The people in the criminal division were thoroughly embarrassed. One of them offered an apologetic smile. “Lawyer Clar
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 287 You’re resigning. Leave the law firm
Adriana decided not to be merciful anymore. She deliberately straightened her posture and said, “Sorry for what exactly?”Jessica was practically grinding her teeth. She had counted on stepping on Adriana when she was down—kicking her while she was going through a rough patch. But how had things turned out like this?“I was in a bad mood… I couldn’t quite remember, but we did talk about it. Just now, I thought about it… You did encourage me that day, saying you had no interest in Deputy Director Carson. I must have remembered it wrong.”Her voice was low, but Adriana heard it—and so did Carson, who was silently watching.The crowd collectively felt like they’d been doused in a bucket of cold, bloody water.Adriana said, “That’s it? I remember there was more.”Selena, seeing Jessica bow her head and admit fault, snapped, “You’re not in the wrong! Why are you apologizing? Are we not allowed to call out Adriana’s misconduct anymore?”Jessica sharply interrupted her, “Don’t say another wo
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 286 Yes. Rejected by me
Before Adriana arrived, Jessica and Carson’s quarrel had already shocked many people’s views, and the outrageous things that came out of Jessica’s mouth shocked them even more.Selena, who had always seen Adriana as a thorn in her side, naturally wasn’t going to miss the chance to stomp on her while she was down.Now that Adriana’s career was suffering and her emotions were exposed, it looked like she had hit rock bottom and would never recover. How could she still act arrogant and high-minded? In a few days, she might have to pack up her store and leave.Selena straightened her back and laughed coldly. “Lawyer Clarke, you’re not afraid of eating what’s in the bowl while eyeing what’s in the pot? Aren’t you afraid of choking to death? You’re not just secretly hooking up with your boss in the office because your boyfriend can’t see you—you’re also shamelessly digging your claws into Lawyer Carson even though you know he already has a girlfriend!

Unfortunately, Adriana couldn’t see Calvin’s dazzling smile—like a beautiful oil painting—and so the revulsion in her heart didn’t deepen. “Sorry, I’m not as idle as you are.”Calvin pressed his fingers to the tip of his nose, trying to hide the flicker of embarrassment no one could see. “Tell me, what are you planning to do? It’s not easy to set aside an unsolved case—especially one with no proof of death.”Yet deep down, he knew—if she just opened her mouth and asked, even with the softest of words—he would stir up all of New York, uncover the truth, and kneel before her in gratitude.But Adriana no longer pinned her hopes on her ex-husband. She knew full well how powerful Calvin was, but that didn’t matter now. “I’m sorry. I can’t tell you. And thanks to you disrupting the rhythm, I’m afraid I can’t solve it in the timeframe I promised.”“You mean... you’re breaking the agreement?”Adriana paused for two seconds before answering. “I’ll speed up the pace.”Calvin’s lips parted sligh
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 284 How many men out there can really be relied on?
Aidan asked, “How about the specifics? What’s the first step?”Adriana had a rough idea. The detailed operational steps weren’t perfect yet, but the first step was clear.“Of course—it’s complaining, playing the victim, and creating the image of someone being bullied without the power to fight back.”Carson’s mouth twitched, and he shook his shoulders as if trying to shake off goosebumps. “Can you act it out?”Adriana replied, “I don’t have to show my face. Just post on Twitter—write something pathetic—then watch who engages the most and track the IP addresses.”Sebastian didn’t take a side, but he opened Twitter to see what was trending. Normally, he wouldn’t get involved in this kind of thing. But Tony was his client, and he couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.The moment he saw Twitter, his usually blank expression cracked wide open.“I suggest you take a look first.”One by one, the others checked—and saw Calvin’s news dominating the top five trending topics. Adriana’s small inc
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 283 Do as I say
Each of Adriana’s words was like a needle, piercing Calvin one by one.He recalled the moments he'd spent with her and realized that Adriana had always resisted, rejected, and pushed him away. There had been too many misunderstandings between them, too many obstacles that couldn’t be resolved in a moment. But if her heart had been with him, all of it could have been overcome. Even mountains and seas could be crossed.What truly broke Calvin’s heart was the utter indifference in her eyes.Suddenly, he couldn’t feel the warmth of love anymore.That night, Calvin smoked two packs of cigarettes by the window, the dim, secretive glow in his eyes flickering like embers.“Wow!”With a swipe of his arm, he knocked a bottle of pills off the table.What’s the point of taking these anymore?His insomnia had worsened over the past three years, and his mood was deteriorating.As the eastern sky brightened, Calvin changed clothes and went for a ten-kilometer run. After returning and showering, his

Aidan hadn’t contacted Adriana since partying the night before. He was worried she’d feel embarrassed, or that his reaching out might come across as reproach.To be honest, he’d tossed and turned for half the night, just wanting to confirm that her boss—Calvin—had gotten her home safely.After struggling with it all night, Aidan figured he’d call her first thing in the morning under the pretense of work. But before he could even dial, he got hit with unexpected news.Sebastian told him that Tony was dead—and that he was holding a will in which Adriana’s name was mentioned.Tony’s case had already drawn media attention, but his death caused an outright uproar. The will got leaked, and netizens seized on it, amplifying every word.The two words Adriana Clarke quickly became a trending topic—and a heavy one at that.Aidan started calling Adriana like mad, terrified that she’d see the news and spiral. But her phone rang and rang, unanswered. Same with Snow’s.He was nearly scared to death
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 281 Whether you hate it or love it, you will never part from me
Why not?Because of love. Because of faith. Because of the dilemma of being caught between the two. Because reason was festering and emotions were spiraling out of control. Because there was too much he couldn’t manage.But these things, Calvin would never say. He didn’t care to reveal the soft underbelly of his heart to anyone.He simply looked at her firmly, repeating over and over in his mind that this woman—he would never let go of her again.“Whether you hate it or love it, you will never part from me.”And you think you can be happy with someone else?Dream on.Adriana didn’t take Calvin’s car after all. He started the engine alone, the screeching tires kicking up dust and sending her long hair flying.Watching the car disappear into the depths of the night, Adriana felt her heart turn cold.The goodbye had long been overdue. Hesitation and procrastination had only deepened the wounds. It was she who hadn’t handled the relationship well—but not anymore. Not in the future.“Snow,

Empty. Private. Slanderous.A few simple words, but strung together, they exploded with meaning.A huge wave crashed through Rene’s mind.Aidan’s expression shifted immediately. “Did Calvin and Miss Blake…”The supposed informant—Adriana—said nothing. She pinched her fork and got ready to savor the new dish that had just been served as if none of it concerned her.Calvin spoke calmly, “Private matter. No comment.”See? Trying to get Calvin to say something he didn’t want to was harder than going to the moon.Adriana took small, measured bites of her food. This was just how things were. Panicking and stressing wouldn’t change anything—better to handle it with composure.Rene, meanwhile, was reminded of his recent dealings with the Blakes. Not long ago, he had run into Karl at a cocktail party. The man had been glowing—red-faced, all smiles, clearly treating Calvin as a son-in-law already. It felt like Phantom was one step away from soaring to new heights on the back of that marriage al
