Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 300 I don't take good guy card
“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

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. People had envied her for having him as her husband, but Adriana was the only one who truly knew the reality of their relationship.Despite knowing that Calvin didn’t love her, she had married him, believing that as long as she loved him, he would eventually fall in love with her.But Adriana’s belief had been nothing more than wishful thinking. In their three years of marriage, the number of times she had seen him could be counted on one hand.Although Calvin treated her coldly, Adriana, like a stubborn fool, had tried to warm his heart.Then, that rainy night changed everything.Adriana opened her eyes and felt her head spinning. She

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

Adriana had just got into the car, took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, and the phone in her bag rang –Beep, beep, beep…Adrianalooked at her phone. It was a call from her assistant, Mona."Hello?" she answered the phone."Ma'am, where are you? It's already one o'clock, why haven't you arrived at the court yet?"Only then did Adriana remember that today was the final hearing of the White family case in court. Because of Calvin, she almost forgot about it."Mona, prepare all the documents related to the case and wait there for me. I will be there in twenty minutes," she said.The case wasn't very complicated. It was an appeal case on behalf of a victim of school violence.By the time the trial ended, it was already five o'clock.The defense lawyer had tried to use the minor protection law to help his client get off, but Adriana had presented twenty cases to testify. As a result, the judge sentenced the defendant to ten years in prison and one year of probation.Adriana was ab

Early the next morning, hospital, office.Henry Charles, Calvin's private doctor and longtime friend, examined the wound on Calvin's thigh with a dark expression. "Calvin, you can't leave today too. The injury on your thigh needs proper care. If it isn't treated correctly, it'll leave a scar."Calvin shrugged indifferently. "It's on my thigh. Who's going to see it?""Your wife! The one lying on the 14th floor who just out of danger," Henry retorted sharply.Calvin, who had been buttoning his shirt, paused for a moment. His expression hardened. "Stop talking nonsense. We've been divorced for a long time."Henry sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. Their circle of friends and family was well aware of Calvin and Adriana's story, from its beginnings to its bitter end."Is that so? Then why did you risk your life to charge into the explosion site yesterday? I saw the surveillance footage. You screamed like a desperate Romeo losing his Juliet."When the explosion happened, most onlooker

When Adriana slowly opened her eyes, the sharp smell of disinfectant was the first thing that hit her. She was lying face down on a pillow, her back still aching from the wounds caused by shattered glass. Everything around her confirmed that the attack she had experienced was no illusion.Thankfully, by the grace of God, she was still alive."Ah! Ma'am, you're finally awake! You scared me to death!"Mona threw herself at Adriana, who was still hooked up to an IV drip. Her tears and snot smeared across Adriana's hospital gown as she sobbed uncontrollably."The doctors said if you'd been just an inch closer to the car, you might… you might…" Mona choked up, unable to finish her sentence. "I TOLD YOU I SHOULD'VE DRIVEN YOU HOME!"Adriana frowned at the sudden pressure on her weak body. Dizzy from the hug, she barely had the strength to think but instinctively tried to console the clearly frightened Mona."Mona, calm down! You're getting snot and tears all over my clothes!""Oh, I'm so so

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
