Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 265 Instead of thanking me, you are questioning me?
Calvin was ruthless—but his ruthlessness made her feel a mix of pain, relief, and strange excitement.In the face of evil, mercy only leads to more trouble and deeper wounds. If you want to end it once and for all, you have to be ruthless enough—desperate enough.Maria, her face splattered with blood, forced herself to forget the fear she felt when that first knife went down. Her eyes were dull, hardened. “May I go?”Calvin dropped one word. “Get out.”Maria threw the knife aside and stumbled away.Adriana watched her messy, staggering steps, and all the words she had wanted to say disappeared from her lips.Maria had already been punished. What came next—she would face on her own.With a thud, Maria fell to the ground, scrambled back to her feet, and, in a sorry state, continued running until she disappeared into the darkness of the night.Even without prison, something like cutting off a man’s fingers would be enough to give her nightmares for years.Adriana walked over to Calvin. “

Maybe it was a coincidence—or maybe a deliberate arrangement—but today, Calvin booked the same room as last time.The setup was exactly the same, as if no other guest had ever stayed there since.Adriana had the strange illusion that this room was permanently reserved by Calvin.And perhaps, it truly was.Calvin kicked off his slippers and tossed his dirty leather shoes into the trash can. Then, he took out another pair from the shoe cabinet and threw them at Adriana’s feet.“Change into these.”Adriana hesitated.Calvin walked to the liquor cabinet, reached for a bottle of whiskey, but after a moment’s pause, decided to pour a glass of water instead.“You wanted to bail Bruce out, didn’t you? Without my permission, no matter how many trips you make, you won’t be able to get the paperwork done.”Adriana felt a wave of sadness wash over her—so bitter, so heavy, it numbed her.She changed her shoes and stood beneath the chandelier in the living room.“What do you want?” she asked quietl

It was fine as long as he didn’t point it out, but once he did, Adriana grew visibly uncomfortable. She turned a bit diabolical. “I’ll go change!”Calvin said, “Why are you changing? Are you feeling guilty?”“It’s not that I feel guilty. I’m just afraid you’ll misunderstand.”Calvin replied carelessly, “If your heart is pure, then clothes don’t matter.”Adriana was convinced by his words. Purposefully going to change would only prove she had a guilty conscience. It was better to be generous. “Has the doctor come?”Confirming that Adriana’s appearance wasn’t inappropriate, Calvin called the doctor in—the same female doctor as last time.Upon seeing Adriana again, the doctor’s smile grew noticeably enthusiastic. Her gaze lingered on the two of them with more than a hint of envy. “Ma’am, where would you like to do the examination?”Adriana chose the bedroom.The examination was quick, and because Adriana repeatedly emphasized that she wasn’t feeling well, the doctor didn’t point out that

Maria didn’t dare tell her brother the whole truth. She tried to cover it up with an explanation.“She’s the reason Dad went to jail, and our family ended up like this! Life used to be so good. Now there’s nothing left. I… I just couldn’t help getting angry. I only wanted to scare her a little, to punish her. I didn’t mean to really hurt her.”In James’s heart, although he knew his sister could be a little willful and loved to play around, she hadn’t complained much even though life had become harder in recent years. Given her timid nature, he doubted she would go too far in acting against Adriana. So he tried to comfort her.“Since she wasn’t hurt and was rescued in time, there’s no reason she’d come back to retaliate against you. Besides, our dad’s imprisonment was because of her. She probably feels guilty about what happened to our family.”Hearing her brother explain it that way, Maria’s fragile state of mind began to rebuild itself.Right. Adriana was the guilty one. She had no r

“Finished?”Adriana checked out of the hotel and spotted Calvin standing in the lobby, smoking off to the side.His suave appearance caught the attention of both men and women passing by.People might think he was just standing there casually, but the air around him was practically electric with presence.Adriana was surprised. “Why didn’t you leave?”When he first came, Calvin had said he was just passing by and offered her a ride. Had he come back again after handling his own business—just to pick her up?Calvin said simply, “Let’s go.”Adriana had no idea that just moments earlier, Calvin had still been upstairs. After seeing her safely into the room, he had stood guard outside, holding the room card in his hand—ready to burst in at any sign of trouble.Now, the car had started. Calvin glanced at Adriana sitting in the passenger seat.“You’ve been delayed in the UK for a while. Planning to go back to New York soon?”Adriana thought he might be changing his mind. “My uncle…”“When h

Calvin pulled out the empty chair beside Adriana and settled into it with graceful ease. “You guys chat,” he said.The casual posture was so natural, it made both Adriana and David choke at the same time.From a man’s perspective, the most eye-catching thing was undoubtedly Calvin’s aggressively handsome face—striking no matter the setting. Next was his clothing: unbranded, yet clearly expensive and elegant. When the ten-million-pound watch on his wrist caught the light, David’s pupils shrank slightly in surprise.Even living in the prestigious legal circle, David had never seen a man with such an aura of pride.He tugged at the corner of his mouth awkwardly. “Who is this?”Adriana had just mentioned her friend wasn’t in the UK, and now Calvin had abruptly disrupted that narrative. How could she explain this?“He’s—”Calvin suddenly leaned in close to Adriana. A hint of gentleness shimmered in his reef-like eyes. His lips brushed close to her ear, his breath warm against her skin. “Wh

Calvin straightened his clothes and stood up gracefully, his footsteps as light as his mood.“Go back to the hotel and pack your bags. We are returning to New York this afternoon.”That afternoon, Adriana boarded Calvin’s private plane.The deluxe version of the flight had only the two of them as passengers, in addition to the crew.The spacious cabin was furnished with sofa seats, bathrooms, wine coolers, board games, bookshelves, and other amenities—enough to keep anyone from being bored on a ten-hour flight.But sitting next to Calvin, Adriana felt as though each minute dragged on like a year.Calvin caught up in his busy schedule, read documents for more than two hours after boarding, then moved on to a video conference.Adriana flipped through magazines and novels, trying to avoid crossing paths with him.The plane soared smoothly through the sky. The man inside sat in the clouds, the drifting whiteness outside the windows casting platinum light into the cabin, sculpting his face

In about twenty days, Adriana went away, and Jessica stepped into the limelight—receiving honored guests, taking on cases, traveling between the three directors, and even winning a not-so-small divorce case without incident.Even her relationship with Carson was surprisingly harmonious.Carson shuffled out of the office, his tie askew, one hand in his pocket, his handsome face carrying that same impatience that came with being woken up.“What’s going on? Not going to work?” he asked.The lawyers scattered—some winking at Adriana, others lingering to watch the drama unfold.Adriana felt uncertain. Something had clearly changed at the law firm while she was away.Jessica deliberately slowed her steps as she passed Carson. She didn’t do anything outright, but to the onlookers, it looked suspiciously like a flirtation.“Oh? Lawyer Jessica and Deputy Director Carson seem quite close.”“Now that Adriana's out of the picture, Carson’s heart is drifting back to Jessica.”“Lawyer Clarke still

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.

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
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 291 Did you find something?
Calvin paused for a moment, then said, “So in your mind, I’m just a strong man you can drag around to pave roads for people?”“Extraordinary means for extraordinary times,” Adriana replied. “Besides, this road really isn’t safe for Auntie to walk on. Isn’t doing a good deed during the day a virtue? Did I force you to fix it? Don’t you have a mouth to say no?”Calvin said calmly, “If your wife speaks, you have to listen.”“I’m not your wife!”“You were just now.”Adriana didn’t want to keep arguing over something so pointless. She looked around at the old house. “Where do you think Tony might’ve left something? I’ve looked through most of the place. It’s so bare—there’s nowhere to hide anything unless he dug a hole.”Calvin replied, “Those people knew Tony’s background. They probably searched the place already. Hiding anything in plain sight would’ve been suicide.”He put down the stone in his hand, then bent his knees, half-squatting with his elbows resting on them. He looked out acro

The old woman’s house didn’t have a dining room. In the center of the main hall stood a worn-out table, coated in a layer of old oil that wouldn’t come off no matter how much you wiped. The only option was to turn a blind eye.Adriana could accept all of this. But for cleanliness-obsessed Calvin, it was a bigger challenge.Knowing his fussy temperament, Adriana deliberately teased, “Are you getting used to the farmhouse’s coarse tea and simple meals? You don’t look very hungry. Why don’t you go outside and admire the scenery instead?”Calvin picked up a spoon and examined it. A thin film of oil clung to the surface. His brows furrowed deeply, as if forming a trench. Put it down? Inappropriate. Keep holding it? Uncomfortable.“Which dish did you cook?” he asked.Adriana didn’t answer.The old woman was scooping rice, her face still cold and distant. Clearly, she wasn’t we

The refreshing mountain wind brushed against one side of her face—unusual mountains and fields, looking like an immortal.Avoidance was not an option; she had to go up and greet him. Adriana coughed. “Calvin…”Calvin turned his head just in time. As if that weren’t enough, he stood up. His long legs strode toward her, even with the wind pressing into his ribs. The scent of roses and mint mingled with the smell of mountain marshes.“Here it comes.”Hmm?What did he mean?Before Adriana could ask, a large hand landed on her waist. Calvin wrapped his arm around her, pulling her into him, forcing her to hold on.“This is what I told you. My wife, Adriana.”Adriana angled her head and glared. Two sharp daggers flew from her pupils and landed squarely on the man’s face.“What are you up to?”Calvin ruffled her hair with his other hand. “Looki

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
