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

Calvin drank all the wine in his glass and placed the crystal glass on the table with a bang! “Adriana… Adriana… Adriana… Are you her fan? Can you just stop talking about her?”Ray couldn’t help but laugh, “Hahaha… Wow! It seems that only Adriana can make Calvin angry. Henry, don’t stop… don’t stop, let me see his angry face a little longer. I can’t imagine Calvin Walker, who has maintained an expressionless face for the past twenty years, finally showing some emotion.”Calvin ignored his ridicule. “I think you’re quite comfortable recently and have lost water in your brain. Why don’t you go to Africa to sunbathe for a while?”Ray stopped laughing and looked at him flatteringly. “Don’t threaten me. It’s not like I swindled two hundred million from you. What’s more, it’s not decided yet—maybe that project will be able to restart.”Last year, Ray had negotiated with Arab countries to develop an oil field project and pulled Calvin in as a shareholder. However, even after drilling the gro

Adriana, who had an unbearable headache, washed up and lay down before she figured out that Calvin was scolding her.As soon as they met, they would argue.Adriana threw what Henry said out of the window. With Calvin’s attitude towards her, Adriana couldn’t believe that Calvin would risk his life to save her.Thinking about Calvin’s arrogant and disdainful attitude when he spoke to her, she almost overturned her perception.Maybe she is making a fool of herself and Calvin didn’t mean it at all. Maybe it’s purely a coincidence or he did it on a whim.However, it is also good that there is no other meaning. Since it’s just a business, then after the lawsuit is over, they can go their own way.****The next day, Calvin was woken up by a phone call.After that incident, his sleep continued to deteriorate, and he often couldn’t fall asleep till three in the morning. However, because of his biological clock, no matter how late he slept, he still woke up by six or seven o’clock. And it was v

The next continuance date was ten days later. During this time, Adriana met with the Technology Head of Grand Empire to discuss a two-million-dollar compensation. However, the other party refused to back down and instead demanded a compensation of two million dollars along with a public apology.The conditions set by the other party were harsh, but as a lawyer, Adriana was committed to fulfilling her client's requests. In court, she maintained a tough stance and refused to yield. She meticulously analyzed the defendant’s infringement and presented several precedent-setting patent cases involving large overseas corporations to substantiate Grand Empire's compensation claim.The defendant’s lawyer countered by arguing that the compensation amount was excessive. However, Adriana’s strong arguments and rigorous evidence proved unassailable, rendering the defense’s claims weak.Frustrated, the defendant lost his composure in court, accusing Grand Empire of bribing the judges, including the

Adriana sighed. “Don’t give me any blueprints for the future. I’ve got a headache. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up!”“Did you check your temperature? Do you have a fever? If you’re running a fever, you must take medicine. Your brain is your most precious asset—don’t fry it!”Adriana smirked. “Maybe I’ll give Mark a call and tell him I’m ready to accept his offer.”“Don’t you dare! I’m not joking with you! Anyway, I’ll hang up first.”After putting her phone down, Adriana walked back to her bedroom, collapsed onto her bed, and drifted off to sleep again.****When she woke up, the sun was already setting.She had spent the entire day in a daze. Her cold hadn’t improved, and she was certain she had a fever when she felt her forehead. With no choice, she got dressed and prepared to get some medicine.
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 43 Caught a cold
His tone was softer, as though he had learned how to listen and care more about others.Indeed, love had the power to change everything. Business marriages might be for show, but the one he had chosen appeared to be his true love.Rose explained, “The bad weather delayed the flight by an hour. Did you have to wait long?”Calvin shook his head. “No.”Adriana couldn’t help but think sarcastically, Of course not! He wasn’t idle for a moment. When you weren’t here, he had both his new lover and old lover to keep him entertained. How lively.Noticing that Calvin didn’t seem ready to leave, Rose said thoughtfully, “You two talk. I’ll wait for you in the car.”Calvin nodded and instructed Eric, “Come along.”Rose smiled at Adriana once more before following Calvin’s lead.Her tall, elegant figure contrasted with Calvin’s composed demeanor, adding
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 42 He managed his time well
It was the first time Calvin had heard Adriana scold him using his full name.She was so angry that her face stiffened, her forehead bulged with misplaced veins, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with endless fury.His deep, unhurried gaze ran over her face as if he were admiring a small wildcat blowing up in his master’s hand. “What do you think I want? Anyone who betrays me has to pay, and the only thing about you that interests me is your dying breath.”Adriana laughed bitterly, her heart weary, her once-erect posture now wilting feebly. “I didn’t betray you.”But she couldn’t say, ‘I love you with all my heart. I just didn’t think so much would happen behind my back,’ nor did she want to justify the fragmented memories of the past six years.After pausing for a moment, she said, “By the end of next week, after the implementation, you and I will return to our original worlds. Before then, I’ll move out of the Green Wick complex. You lost your money, and I lost six years of my
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 41 Calvin Walker! What the hell do you want?
Calvin lifted his arm, and his fingers frivolously slid from her brow bone to her chin. He moved closer to her, shortening the distance between them.Ten centimeters, five centimeters, one centimeter… he didn’t stop until when their lips were only an inch apart from each other. If they moved a little, their lips would touch each other.“A dog wagging its tail begging for mercy from me dares to be compared to a canary raised in a cage. You don’t mind the fishy smell on your body, aren’t you afraid that others will be disgusted that you are dirty?”“Oh, so there are still some things in the world that Calvin Walker is no good at, such as cursing. You should learn from Miss Blake how to curse people without repetition.”No one was around, so Adriana was not worried about being seen by anyone. She stepped on her high heels and took a half step closer to the man’s chest, tilting her head. Although she was short in height, she was not afraid at all. “No, I also feel dirty. When I think of m
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 40 No longer Party A and Party B
The case is already over, and they are not partners anymore!Ask her to go over there!Dream on!Adriana didn’t bother and put her phone back into her bag.Except for having a good background, what else does Anna have? Her face didn’t look good, her heart was as back as coal, and she put so much makeup on her face that one couldn’t even see her true skin. Adriana resents this kind of person the most, and she hates Calvin even more who wants to get married to her.Seeing Adriana’s reaction, Calvin raised his eyebrows slightly.****What Adriana had said earlier kept repeating in Anna’s mind like a film and because of this she felt a little strange to be standing with Calvin, “Calvin, where is your car?”They had a little drink in the evening, so she couldn’t drive. Moreover, she hadn’t informed her driver as at a time like this it’s supposed to be the man who takes the woman home.However, Calvin didn’t have self-consciousness at all, “I still have something to do. You take a cab to go
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 39 He can't do it
"He doesn’t love you!"Adriana’s face remained as calm as water, but her heart shattered, and the sharp pain cut through to her very bones.If Calvin had truly loved her, he wouldn’t have just stood aside and watched her family go bankrupt. He wouldn’t have stayed silent when the debtors blocked their door, pouring filthy water over her family and dragging their names through the mud. No matter how much she pleaded and cried before him, he had remained indifferent.He just didn’t love her.She still remembered that night—standing outside his door, soaked by the pouring rain for hours, crying until her voice turned hoarse. But no matter how hard she begged, he never opened the door. He didn’t even look at her, let alone say a word.If the butler hadn’t dragged her away, maybe she would have died that night.If her body hadn’t been battered to its limits, she wouldn’t have...The pain in her heart constricted, as though it had been thrown into a blender, shattering and slicing into her
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 38 Admit it, he doesn't love you.
Adriana could tell that Anna was pointing at her, alluding to how her marriage with Calvin had ended back then.Anna bowed her head and said, “I’m just saying we can try.”Adriana slowly lowered her head and was about to zap the bowl with frustration.Mark noticed and asked, “Are you okay?”Adriana put down her cutlery, already full of anger. “I’m going to the bathroom.”****“Adriana, it’s been a long time!”She hadn’t expected Anna to follow her.Adriana frowned and asked, “What? Do you want something from me?”Anna put her arm around Adriana’s shoulder and spoke with a smile, “You’re progressing quite fast. By the way, who was the one eating with you just now?”Adriana scowled. “It’s none of your business!”“You’ve been divorced for so long, so it’s normal to find a boyfriend. But you can’t be that desperate and target a married man! Didn’t you see the wedding ring on his finger? Or are you just in a hurry to be the third party?”Adriana shot back, “Confessing your feelings in publ
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 37 Using you and betraying you
Adriana knew that he was insulting her and her hands shook with anger.Anna snickered. She thought that Calvin was still in love with Adriana, but now she saw that he simply hated her!Calvin is someone who loves his face so much, however, he still openly ridicules Adriana in front of outsiders. One can see how much hatred he had in his heart for her.Unconsciously, she straightened up, inclined her head to look at the right-hand side, “Counselor Clarke, please don’t mind him. He is quite a straightforward person and doesn’t like others' hypocritical behavior. He is a little chivalrously style.”Mark didn’t think it was chivalry. He put cold arrows everywhere. To be honest, it was very ungentlemanly. “Albany is not too big or a small city and it’s a fate that we can meet. So, why don’t we laugh off the enmity?”He said as he raised his glass.However, no one responded to him.The atmosphere was a little awkward.After a long time, Mark sardonically put down his wine glass. “I was so f
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 36 Deep friendship? How deep?
Adriana was speechless. She didn’t want to have anything to do with this Blake family princess, but she had been targeting her at every turn. It was obvious that she was looking for trouble.They had no grudges in the past, and the only common thing they had crossed paths with was Calvin.Now she and Calvin have long been separated and will have nothing to do with each other in the future. However, Anna seems to have been taking her as her imaginary enemy, and Adriana is not very happy with such an incitement. So, she is prickly when she opens her mouth again.Adriana smiled generously as she said, “Being a Lawyer is quite good, as we can see through people. For example, from your temperament I can tell that your identity must not be simple, right? However, everyone is not like you. I had a friend, who was once tricked by a woman. She always put on so much makeup, hiding her true face, looking all vulgar. I don’t know how people get fascinated by it?”Adriana smiled brightly as she sa
