Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 242 She saved you
As soon as she finished speaking, Anna blacked out, slipping completely into darkness.Calvin looked down and saw her covered in blood. His brows furrowed into a deep, cold line. “Anna, wake up!”The woman in his arms remained unresponsive, unconscious from severe blood loss. Her face and lips had turned frighteningly pale.Rushing to the nearest hospital, Calvin watched as Anna was wheeled into the operating room. He stood outside in the corridor, his expression frozen, his presence as cold as zero degrees.During the tense wait, Calvin contacted his subordinates in the UK, issuing orders with unwavering authority. “Calm the situation at the construction site immediately. The one who attacked her—send him to the police station first. Wait for my further instructions.”Meanwhile, Alex had struggled to pacify the rowdy crowd, but a new group of men arrived from behind and quickly dispersed them.He didn’t fully grasp how it happened, but within half an hour, the mob had dispersed on it

Adriana buried her chin into the pillow, her spine tingling with an eerie chill, as if countless unseen eyes were watching her. Lying in the room Calvin had booked, she felt an unsettling sense of restraint, as though she were sitting on pins and needles.“I’ll listen to you and won’t do anything foolish,” she murmured.Maxwell patted his daughter’s head, the warmth of his touch cutting through the distance between them. “You’re my daughter, and I’ve never let you suffer any injustice since you were a child. Now, even though our family can’t provide you with the same material security as before, as long as I’m here, I won’t let you be wronged again.” His voice grew more serious. “We’re not afraid of anything else—we’re afraid that Calvin will deceive you with sweet words and take advantage of you. He’s too cunning, too unpredictable. Even I could be outmaneuvered by him, let alone you.”His unwavering concern, layered with tenderness, broke Adriana’s last shred of composure. Tears wel

Before the Blake family arrived in London, Calvin had someone watch Anna closely at the hospital and instructed them to contact the doctor immediately if there was any change in her condition.Even the usually straightforward Alex sensed his resistance this time. After dinner, he considered heading to the hospital’s VIP room. Knocking on the door, he called out, “Calvin?”Calvin, reading a document, glanced slightly toward the door. “Something wrong?”Alex gently closed the door, not daring to get too close. He sat on the farthest couch, yet even from there, he could still feel the icy air surrounding Calvin. “Anna hasn’t woken up yet. You’re worried about her, aren’t you?”Calvin shot him an icy look.It clearly meant: Which one of your eyes saw me worrying?“And?”Alex continued, “Anna likes you a lot and cares about your feelings. She almost died trying to save you today. Aren’t you two engaged? She’s your fiancée, right? That means she truly loves you.”What Alex called true love,

The attending physician nodded. “Mr. Calvin, the patient has awakened. Would you like to see her?”Calvin gave a slight nod and stepped forward.In the ICU, Anna slowly opened her eyes. Blood loss had left her face pale, her lips devoid of color. Her pupils were unfocused at first, taking a long moment to adjust. When she finally saw the group of doctors in white coats standing beside a familiar figure, the pain in her body seemed to momentarily fade. A faint smile appeared on her lips.“Calvin…”Before she could say more, Calvin interrupted her. “The doctor said you’re still weak and shouldn’t exert yourself. If you have something to say, save it for later.”Anna’s eyes welled up with tears, touched by his concern.To be able to trade an injury for Calvin’s care and affection—it was worth it.“Alright, I’ll do as you say.”She was obedient, soft, like a submissive woman in the throes of deep love.Calvin frowned slightly before turning to speak with the doctor.The doctor explained A

Whether Marshal was being an alarmist or simply preparing for the worst, Calvin considered his words carefully. But deep down, he knew Adriana was not that kind of person.Was she really lying in wait, plotting to bring down Grand Empire to avenge her family and Clarke Group?That soft, stubborn woman—was she really capable of such a grand scheme?Calvin shook his head. No. Adriana wouldn’t do that.“Do your job. The rest is out of your hands.”Marshal knew better than to push any further. He had already said enough to warn his boss without overstepping. “Understood, President. I will cooperate with Lawyer Clarke on the lawsuit.”After hanging up the phone, Calvin found himself unable to settle. Marshal’s words—scandal and debt—kept echoing in his mind.At first, when he had finally cut ties with that “scheming woman,” he had felt an overwhelming sense of relief. But now, when he recalled her reddened eyes and unsteady footsteps as she left his office that day, something within him st

Tonight, Adriana walked slowly to the bedroom by herself without asking Calvin for help, but as she lay on the bed, she felt immense pressure and shame.Calvin went to take a bath. He would certainly see the dirty clothes inside. And his question—if someone had come and she said no—was no different from saying, No, I am wearing nothing inside.As a divorced woman, what hadn’t she experienced? What hadn’t she seen?She shouldn’t have been shy, shouldn’t have acted with such delicate posturing, but the word ex-husband was there, easily breaking down her defenses.Adriana pulled the covers up, wrapping herself tightly from head to toe.Not long after, a freshly washed Calvin walked in. He blow-dried his hair, and his body radiated heat from the bath, raising the temperature of the room.Adriana pretended to be asleep, but her toes were already tense, curling one by one, her arches about to straighten out.Last night, she had been so exhausted and hurt that she slept soundly until morning

Calvin smiled but didn’t laugh. “It was a matter of expediency. Miss Clarke, you said so yourself. What? Were you planning to lecture me about the law in that moment? Sue me for indecent assault?” He leaned back slightly, his tone casual. “Go ahead. I’ll wait for your lawyer’s letter.”Adriana was furious, shooting him a vicious glare.Calvin glanced at the time. He had to leave for London soon, and Karl’s plane was scheduled to arrive at the airport in a few hours. “Consider it a medical expense. I didn’t do anything else. You didn’t lose out.”Adriana’s hands trembled as she pressed her fingers to her temples. She was seriously afraid she wouldn’t be able to resist punching Calvin’s handsome face.“When it comes to being a shameless rogue, you’re at a textbook level,” she snapped. “If you ever wrote a book called How to Train a Hooligan, it would be a bestseller worldwide.”Calvin smirked. “How can an exclusive skill like mine be outsourced?”Adriana’s mouth twitched. She had alread

The man was holding a glass of red wine, his dark hair standing out.He had his back to the window and was talking to someone, looking subdued yet at ease.“Bring me the picture you take.”Lewis flipped through a few photos, some close-ups and some taken from afar. “Here.”Adriana held the binoculars and focused her gaze on the photo. In terms of body type and overall presence, the two were exactly the same person.When she looked at the photo alone, Adriana hadn’t felt anything off, but now, facing the three-dimensional, living person, an overwhelming wave of oppression crashed over her. It was as if an invisible hand was squeezing her throat, suffocating her.She was stunned for half a second before speaking. “Are you sure it’s him?”Lewis didn’t understand the dazed look in her eyes and answered carefully, “These past few days, while I was tracking him, this was the only person Henry met with mysteriously. Every time they met, they were extra cautious and chose a highly secretive l

“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
