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

    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

    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

    “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.

    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

    Adriana sat in her office chair with her eyes closed.She seemed to be having a nightmare. Her snow-white face was creased with frowns, and cold sweat trickled down her temples."No... Don't take my brother away... He's not guilty...""Mom, Dad, I'm sorry, it was my fault... Please forgive me..."Adriana mumbled, her voice barely audible."Mom..."Suddenly, she cried out, jerking awake. Her breathing was uneven as she opened her eyes.'That nightmare again... No matter how much I try to run from my past, it seems the past isn't going to leave me alone!' she thought.Adriana poured herself a glass of water when suddenly, someone knocked at the door.Knock! Knock! Knock!"Come in!" she called out.The door to her office opened, and Mona, Adriana's assistant, walked in holding some files. Mona looked at Adriana's pale face and asked with concern, "Ma'am, are you alright? You look pale!"Adriana took a sip of water to calm herself and replied, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just didn't sleep w

    Adriana stared at him for a long time, but no words came out. It had been three years since she last saw him, yet he hadn't changed a bit. He was still as handsome as ever."Adriana, don't tell me you've fallen in love with me again?" Calvin's low, deep voice broke the silence.Adriana snapped out of her daze. As her eyes met his, she saw traces of disgust and mockery in them.She clenched her fists and replied, "I'm not blind anymore."With that, she turned to leave. But before she could take a step, Calvin spoke again."Where are you going?"Adriana paused but didn't turn around. "I don't think it has anything to do with you, Sir," she said coldly."Of course, it has everything to do with me," he replied, a smug smile forming on his lips.Adriana's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean?" she asked, a bad feeling creeping over her."Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm the client you're waiting for, Calvin Walker," Calvin said, pulling out a chair and sitting down.Adriana froze.

    “YOU ARE THE ONE who betrayed our marriage.”The biting reproach brought back the painful memories, Adriana had desperately tried to forgot, which rushed back to her mind like a flood.(FLASHBACK)Three years earlier, Adriana had been the daughter of the Clarke family and the wife of the wealthiest man in the country, Calvin Walker, CEO of Grand Empire.

    Seeing Adriana squatting down like this, Calvin couldn't help but frown. He thought that she was just pretending to be weak to gain his sympathy."Adriana, you don't have to pretend in front of me, I know you well! Just get the hell out of here! I can't stand your hypocrisy. It made me feel disgusted!" Calvin said coldly.Hearing his words, Adriana felt as if someone had stabbed a knife in her heart. She wanted to stand up and leave, but the weight of those memories was too much for her to bear.Adriana felt that as if her legs got weak, and all her energy of her body had been drained out. No matter how hard she tried to stand up, she couldn't."Calvin?"Just then a sweet woman's voice came, breaking the tension.Adriana looked up, only to see a beautiful woman walking towards them.The woman was wearing a white shirt and black skirt, with delicate, fair skin. Her long black hair cascaded down her back, making her look even more beautiful."Rose! What are you doing here?" Calvin asked

    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

    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
