Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 24 Ice and Fire
“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

As soon as Adriana walked over, Mona excitedly embraced her arm, “Ma’am, you are so good! When you were talking just now, your whole body was glowing like a goddess. Why don’t you take me as your disciple?”Adriana touched her head, “If you want to be my disciple, graduate successfully first.”“Okay! I will certainly write my thesis and try to graduate early, then I will be your disciple in the law firm!”Adriana looked at her vibrant smiling face and thought about the time when she was same age her.‘What was she doing at that moment?’Adriana went to college two years earlier than her peers and was only twenty years old when she graduated, and that was also the year when she became enamored with Calvin.So in addition to the thesis, she walked around, inquiring about Calvin’s schedule, and studying his preferences. Her mind was only occupied with one thought, ‘TO BECAME Mrs. WALKER.’In a flash, she had wasted the precious six years of youth for that heartless man.‘She was really s

After he said that, Adriana decided not to insist on declining. Not to mention, there were still many people lingering at the entrance of the court—particularly a group of reporters who hadn’t yet dispersed. If they discovered she was representing Grand Empire, she would undoubtedly become a topic of discussion for some time.The thing Adriana feared most in the world was being surrounded by reporters.“Then I’ll trouble Counselor Wilson,” she said, stepping into the car and fastening her seatbelt.With her black robe removed, Adriana was now wearing a simple black suit. Beneath the jacket was a white blouse with a chiffon lining and a black bow tied at the neckline. Her slim waist was accentuated by the fitted outfit. Sitting elegantly in the car, her silhouette—from her jawline to her arms and the curve of her body—formed a graceful, seamless line.Mark broke the silence. “What kind of food does Counselor Clarke enjoy? There’s a local restaurant nearby that’s famous for its sweet di

“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
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 294 Who the hell are you?
“Ahhhh!”The man let out a pig-slaughtering scream.“Scar! Scar, don’t be impulsive—ahhh!”Scar spat out several expletives. “Damn it! Who the hell are you?!”Calvin said coldly, “You don’t deserve to know.”Scar snapped back, “Bullshit! Trying to scare me? Do you even know who I am?!”Adriana’s limbs were exploding with pain, but through the haze, she quietly wiped some of the man’s blood and smeared it on her clothes, keeping the fingerprints. As long as she got out, they’d be able to identify who he was.In the dark, she groped for her cellphone in her pocket, relying on muscle memory. She found the shortcut key and tapped to begin recording…Now all she needed was for her jaw to recover—then she could ask questions and produce testimony.“Mmm! Uhhh!”Adriana struggled to make any sound, her voice warped into strange syllables. It was harder than she thought, but she didn’t care about appearances anymore. Not now.Sensing her distress, Calvin turned his fury into cold viciousness.
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 293 I’ve got your woman
Adriana’s scalp tingled, and she swallowed hard. “That…”She didn’t have claustrophobia, but staring into the depths of a dark pit with no visible bottom was still a little creepy. Who knew what might be lurking down there?And it wasn’t winter anymore—global warming was real. The winter insects were waking up. What if something alive was down there?The hair on the top of her head practically stood on end.“I mean… let me take a look first.”She turned on her phone’s flashlight and leaned over to peer into the hole. But the beam didn’t focus well—it barely cut through the darkness. There was a corner inside, and she couldn’t see anything beyond it.Calvin watched her small, hesitant movements for a moment, silently amused, before saying, “Lawyer Clarke, it’s only right to dedicate yourself for the sake of justice.”Adriana forced a noble look, half-expecting Calvin to go down himself and gallantly let her stay at the top.She really had thought too much.“You tie the rope to the tree
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 292 Heaven knows, you know, I know—this is our secret
Adriana didn’t really read Calvin’s Twitter. But the photo that had gone viral, spreading across WiFi and 4G coverage, was impossible to avoid.At first glance, she recognized it. Yes, she had taken it.She didn’t want to remember, because she didn’t dare. The memory of the person who still tingled her nerves would shatter the fragile faith she had built so easily.Her silence was heavy, her gaze vacant. Calvin couldn’t think of anything to say.Adriana looked out toward the mountain that had gone dark. The last remnants of the sun slipped into the valley, casting its light on the other side of the earth and leaving behind long shadows. The sun had set, the moon had risen, and the stars speckled the sky.The darkness of night always seemed to amplify emotions, making people feel exposed and fragile to the point of vulnerability.His questioning was like a sledgehammer striking her heart, edged with cold steel.“It’s been too long. I can’t remember anymore,” she said.As if he didn’t c
