Calvin’s phone calls kept coming one after another.Adriana drank half her coffee but gave up waiting—an internal emergency forced her to head to the restroom first.While drying her hands, she happened to run into Nancy coming out of one of the stalls.With a timid expression, Nancy bowed and apologized again. “Thank you, Lawyer Clarke!”Adriana said calmly, “It’s in the past.”Nancy looked around to make sure no one else was nearby, then leaned in a little closer.“Lawyer Clarke, recently there have been rumors spreading in the company. They say you used your uncle just to get close to the president, and that...”Adriana, already expecting the gossip to be far from kind, didn’t react. “What else?”“They’re saying the president has been bribed by you. He and Anna are getting engaged, and you’re just a temporary fling. They even call you a vixen… saying a small-time lawyer like you is trying to steal a man from the daughter of Phantom Group.”Adriana listened with a faint smile, neith

His intentional making of things difficult for her was not a one-time thing. Adriana asked casually, “What else do you want? Just say it.”The sense of distance between them was precise and well-measured. Calvin wanted to throw a fit but couldn’t find a justifiable reason. He simply looked at her, eyes narrowing slightly. “Was it Aidan’s phone?”At the moment, all he knew was that Aidan was her senior back in the country.Adriana was a little worried Calvin might be working behind the scenes to cause trouble for Aidan. Her response was vague, “I just returned to the country and have a lot of work on my plate that isn’t done yet. If there’s nothing urgent, let’s talk another time. Is that okay?”That last question was only out of politeness. She just wanted a yes.Calvin didn’t like to play slow. “In my opinion, no.”Adriana cursed inwardly. How did I not realize before how shameless he could be? “Then what?”After confirming the time, Calvin picked up the car keys from the table. “Go

Adriana recognized the auntie—she lived in the middle household on the same floor. They had met before in the elevator, once when the woman had been carrying heavy things.“Yeah, just renovated,” Adriana said. “Came to check it out.”The auntie glanced at the unfamiliar man standing next to her. Her eyes lit up with curiosity as she smiled and asked, “This handsome young man—is he your boyfriend? You two look good together! He must be at least one meter ninety, right? So tall and handsome.”Adriana quickly explained, “No, he’s not.”Calvin looked at the plainly dressed woman, radiating small-town gossip vibes. Though he rarely smiled, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. “She will be moving in a few months. She’ll be living on her own, so I’ll need to help her out when needed.”The auntie was momentarily shaken by his smile, a little flustered.“Oh, that’s great. She’s such a good girl—helped me carry things once. So pretty and fair-skinned, and kind too. And those legs—my eyes n

Adriana didn’t want Aidan to see her getting out of Calvin’s car, so she asked him to pull over about a hundred meters in advance.How could Calvin not know what she was thinking? But with a quick push of the gas, the car surged forward, roaring past the spot, and stopped steadily at the restaurant’s main entrance.The contrast between the luxurious Rolls-Royce and the modest Western-style restaurant was striking enough to make passersby sigh.Adriana’s fists clenched, her patience wearing thin. “Calvin, is this supposed to be funny?”Calvin’s face was illuminated by the restaurant sign, alternating cold blue and eerie purple lights washing over his features. “Very funny,” he replied.Adriana glanced left and right, making sure Aidan wasn’t in sight, then opened the car door and slipped out from the side facing away from the restaurant.Unexpectedly, Calvin also unbuckled his seatbelt and followed her out, his tall, handsome frame now aligned with the giant billboard above. The popula

Threaten her?Adriana's fingers brushed the leaves of the green plant on the terrace. From the reflection in the glass, she looked at the blurred silhouette of Calvin. He had said it was a dinner date with Henry, yet she hadn't seen a trace of either of them. Was he implying that others dared not treat him unfairly?“It’s fine. Since you know them, it’s only right for you to take the initiative to greet them. After all, they’re elders.”She couldn’t see Calvin’s expression through the glass, but the cold, low laugh that came through the phone was enough for her to imagine that his face didn’t look pleasant.“You and that senior of yours worked so hard to put on a show. Aren’t you afraid I’ll expose you?”Adriana wanted to say, You’re ridiculous.But thinking of the outrageous things he’d done today, she couldn’t predict what he’d do next. She calmed herself and replied, “Both unmarried, both single—why pretend? It's better to explore whether we’re compatible. Whether it works out or n

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

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,

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

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
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 288 Love’s like a damn addiction
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!

Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 285 The word Zara is a Taboo
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
