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

Miles away in New York City, Calvin sat in his office. In front of him, a high-definition computer screen displayed a live video feed from Manchester.The brightest spot in the frame was Henry’s villa, where a silent orgy was unfolding.Across the road, by the woods, Adriana sat on the ground, trembling, curled into herself like a fragile rag doll that might break at the slightest touch.Calvin’s heart clenched, a sharp pain tearing through him, so deep it left him numb.“Adriana, listen to me.”Adriana slowly lifted her head, her gaze fixed on the villa.“Mr. Calvin, we have only an employment relationship,” she said, her voice distant. “So please, call me Lawyer Clarke.”She stared straight into the camera, as if forcing her cold, pained eyes into Calvin’s field of vision, making sure he saw the bitterness, the accusation in them.Calvin had never felt such deep regret and self-reproach.How had he even thought of letting Adriana take this case in the first place?Back then, she had

Adriana calmly stepped out of the car and said, “Hard work.” to Lewis before walking into the hotel lobby.Lewis wasn’t sure what was wrong with her.She had been silent and withdrawn ever since watching the man they had been following. On the way back, she hadn’t said a single word.Having never been in love, Lewis didn’t understand a woman’s heart and wasn’t sure if Adriana’s reaction counted as heartbreak.Adriana moved like a ghost through the elevator exit, pulled out her room card, and swiped it.“Lawyer Clarke…”Miley had been waiting for her for a long time. The moment she heard movement next door, she called out just in time.Adriana’s expression remained unreadable, but the red in her eyes betrayed her exhaustion. “What’s wrong?”Miley had been about to say something, but upon seeing Adriana’s face, she swallowed her words

Before Adriana entered the conference room, she overheard Anderson, who was sitting near the door, say, "I have heard that the Blake family has been interacting with George very frequently these days, and he has even loosely offered a lot of facilities to the Phantom Group."Over the past two days, Adriana had also picked up some inside information indirectly.Alex messaged her from time to time, chatting about random things and occasionally asking if she had time to go out for a walk. In the process, he would inadvertently mention Anna and Calvin:"Calvin is with Anna. How could he have time to hang out with me? If you're not busy, why don't we meet in Manchester?""Calvin and Anna make a great couple. They’re exactly what people mean when they talk about a talented man and a beautiful woman together.""So boring—Calvin is with Anna again. Oh, and by the way, Anna’s parents are in London. Now I can’t even see Calvin’s

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
