Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 31 Enemies truly have a way of crossing paths
After he said that, Adriana decided not to insist on declining. Not to mention, there were still many people lingering at the entrance of the court—particularly a group of reporters who hadn’t yet dispersed. If they discovered she was representing Grand Empire, she would undoubtedly become a topic of discussion for some time.The thing Adriana feared most in the world was being surrounded by reporters.“Then I’ll trouble Counselor Wilson,” she said, stepping into the car and fastening her seatbelt.With her black robe removed, Adriana was now wearing a simple black suit. Beneath the jacket was a white blouse with a chiffon lining and a black bow tied at the neckline. Her slim waist was accentuated by the fitted outfit. Sitting elegantly in the car, her silhouette—from her jawline to her arms and the curve of her body—formed a graceful, seamless line.Mark broke the silence. “What kind of food does Counselor Clarke enjoy? There’s a local restaurant nearby that’s famous for its sweet di

Back in the morning, at Calvin’s office.After finishing a meeting, Calvin was about to open another file when his cell phone rang. He glanced at the screen—it was a call from his grandfather.Sometimes, he suspected his grandfather had planted spies to watch him.“Don’t even think about rejecting me,” his grandfather’s authoritative voice came through. “I’ve arranged a meeting with Anna at seven o’clock. Go and meet her. This matter cannot be delayed any further.”Calvin’s eyes were sore from staring at documents and his computer all day. He pinched his brow, the faint lines on his forehead deepening. “Grandpa, what if she stands me up?”George responded in his usual confident tone, “The Blake family facilitated this meeting, so that won’t happen.”“In that case, why should I hurry?” Calvin asked, his voice calm yet laced with sarcasm. “Grandpa, ever since I was a child, you taught me to always stand tall and never lower myself. And I learned that lesson well.”George chuckled, sensi

Calvin was too lazy to even glance at the details of the two men. He didn’t know them personally, but he was well-acquainted with their fathers, who still had to greet him politely whenever they met.Kevin noticed the time and gently reminded him, “Sir, shall we leave now?”Calvin hadn’t been paying attention to the clock. It was only the sinking afterglow of the sun outside his window that hinted at the passage of time.“What’s the hurry?” Calvin said nonchalantly. “Let her wait a while and see how sincere the Blake family is about this marriage.”Kevin discreetly glanced at his watch. It was already seven o’clock. Fortunately, the meeting location was only ten minutes away, so the delay wasn’t excessive. Yet, he couldn’t help but feel that his boss’s attitude was typically arrogant, taking things for granted as usual.Whether in work or life, Calvin’s natural authority drew people to flatter and curry favor with him.The two men sat silently in front of the floor-to-ceiling window,

Anna knew that George didn’t like childish and ignorant girls, and wanted to find a granddaughter-in-law who understood things and knew what was going on inside and out. So, she smiled in a dignified manner and said, “The restaurant environment is too beautiful. I was just too engrossed in enjoying the scenery and didn’t really care about the time.”Calvin sits across her, crossing his long legs. His body movements are casual. For no reason born out of self-confidence, there are three impetuous, ‘I like this attitude.’Anna picked up the glass of juice with one hand, showing the rose Cartier fine bracelet on her white wrist, and translucent nude pink manicure. All the details are well-matched. Sitting in the carved beams, wearing the dress with Tencel fabric, she showed the beauty of a gentle and soft woman.“Even though I had stayed abroad for a long time and had seen many foreign beautiful things and people, I still couldn’t help but miss our country. For example, the redfish in the

It’s been three years, but some people are still spoiled with their stink!Adriana doesn’t understand why some people like to book the whole venue just for a meal. Did they have a lot of money?’Mark turned back only to see a man and woman sitting not far away. The woman had her back towards him, so he couldn’t see her. As for the man, he looks very eye-catching and he can tell from a glance that he was not an ordinary guy. He had met many financial circle tycoons, but he didn’t have any impression of the man sitting in front of him.“Me and my friend just came here to have a simple meal. Don’t worry, we won’t affect them to talk about their love.”This was the first time he had invited Adriana to dinner. If they were kicked out in the middle of the meal, how could he face her in the future?The manager’s face darkened. If it was someone else there might be a room for negotiation, but the other person was Calvin Walker.“I am sorry, I am afraid…”The manager hadn’t been able to comple

Adriana was speechless. She didn’t want to have anything to do with this Blake family princess, but she had been targeting her at every turn. It was obvious that she was looking for trouble.They had no grudges in the past, and the only common thing they had crossed paths with was Calvin.Now she and Calvin have long been separated and will have nothing to do with each other in the future. However, Anna seems to have been taking her as her imaginary enemy, and Adriana is not very happy with such an incitement. So, she is prickly when she opens her mouth again.Adriana smiled generously as she said, “Being a Lawyer is quite good, as we can see through people. For example, from your temperament I can tell that your identity must not be simple, right? However, everyone is not like you. I had a friend, who was once tricked by a woman. She always put on so much makeup, hiding her true face, looking all vulgar. I don’t know how people get fascinated by it?”Adriana smiled brightly as she sa

Adriana knew that he was insulting her and her hands shook with anger.Anna snickered. She thought that Calvin was still in love with Adriana, but now she saw that he simply hated her!Calvin is someone who loves his face so much, however, he still openly ridicules Adriana in front of outsiders. One can see how much hatred he had in his heart for her.Unconsciously, she straightened up, inclined her head to look at the right-hand side, “Counselor Clarke, please don’t mind him. He is quite a straightforward person and doesn’t like others' hypocritical behavior. He is a little chivalrously style.”Mark didn’t think it was chivalry. He put cold arrows everywhere. To be honest, it was very ungentlemanly. “Albany is not too big or a small city and it’s a fate that we can meet. So, why don’t we laugh off the enmity?”He said as he raised his glass.However, no one responded to him.The atmosphere was a little awkward.After a long time, Mark sardonically put down his wine glass. “I was so f

Adriana could tell that Anna was pointing at her, alluding to how her marriage with Calvin had ended back then.Anna bowed her head and said, “I’m just saying we can try.”Adriana slowly lowered her head and was about to zap the bowl with frustration.Mark noticed and asked, “Are you okay?”Adriana put down her cutlery, already full of anger. “I’m going to the bathroom.”****“Adriana, it’s been a long time!”She hadn’t expected Anna to follow her.Adriana frowned and asked, “What? Do you want something from me?”Anna put her arm around Adriana’s shoulder and spoke with a smile, “You’re progressing quite fast. By the way, who was the one eating with you just now?”Adriana scowled. “It’s none of your business!”“You’ve been divorced for so long, so it’s normal to find a boyfriend. But you can’t be that desperate and target a married man! Didn’t you see the wedding ring on his finger? Or are you just in a hurry to be the third party?”Adriana shot back, “Confessing your feelings in publ

Calvin spoke out in shock. Adriana was afraid he would say something else, so she hurriedly advised, “Calvin, let’s just come together and part peacefully. At least let’s leave each other with some dignity. Let’s not make a mess of things until there’s nothing left.”There was a warning in her eyes, and her stance made it clear she was drawing a line with him.Calvin cooperated by lowering his head slightly, and likewise lowered his voice, whispering, “Do you like that playboy so much? Do you even know what kind of person Carson really is?”Adriana glanced at Carson out of the corner of her eye. He appeared calm and composed, not at all embarrassed by being left out, standing there like a clear stream.“What kind of person he is — time will tell,” she replied. “I’ll also keep my eyes wide open to see it for myself. Instead of listening to your version, I’d rather experience it firsthand.”Calvin was thoroughly exasperated by her. “It seems you’re determined to go against me.”“Calvin,

New York is known as one of the most beautiful cities in the country and has been ranked as a highly livable place for several years in a row. Facing the sea and stretching northward, its late spring and early summer evenings are filled with a gentle breeze and bustling traffic—a perfect blend of vibrant life and the relentless struggles of young dreamers.Strolling through the college campus, where students gathered in groups, one could see couples walking arm in arm, hear playful bickering, and catch fleeting glimpses of youthful romance. It was enough to rekindle even the most faded sparks of sentiment.Carson pulled a cigarette case and lighter from his trouser pocket, but just as he was about to light one, he hesitated and put them back. “There’s an observation deck nearby. Want to check it out?”Adriana refused without hesitation. She wasn’t here for a date. Why would she follow the same route as young lovers?“I’m not going.”Carson glanced at a couple embracing in front of the
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 178 Do you know me before
Looking at the smelly rice noodles bubbling on the table, Adriana wrinkled her eyebrows into two tight knots. “This is refreshing?”Carson, his long fingers stirring the noodles and auxiliary ingredients in the large bowl, looked completely at ease—clearly, he had eaten this many times before. “These rice noodles are made from the shop owner’s authentic recipe. Only his family knows it. Have a try!”Adriana’s expression darkened as she pushed her bowl away. “Deputy Director Carson, you should eat more.”She found it hard to believe that someone like Carson, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, would be good at this.Actually, it was more than just being grounded—it was practically underground.Carson noticed her reluctance and frowned. “Didn’t you used to love this?”Adriana hesitated. “Before? How do you know what I used to eat?”Had their paths ever crossed? Searching her memory, Adriana couldn’t recall.Carson smirked mysteriously. “Eat three bites, and I’ll tell you.”Back in co

Adriana ignored the message alert and pretended not to see it.At the dinner table, Anderson both explicitly and implicitly mentioned that Calvin’s plan for the night was to attend Karl’s birthday party. He even emphasized, “Our president—when has he ever given anyone such an honor? He rarely attends private parties in a year.”The implication was clear: the relationship between the Walker family and the Blake family was extraordinary.His remark was directed at Adriana, who simply smiled.Anderson might have intended to provoke her, but her lack of response left him disinterested, and he didn’t bring it up again.A house call and a banquet—it seemed that things between Anna and Calvin were progressing well.Pretty good.Drip!The sound of a car horn suddenly interrupted her thoughts. Adriana turned toward the road, and her expression darkened instantly.Carson rolled down the window and leaned out, his elbow resting on the window frame as he smiled at her. “What a coincidence!”At tw
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 176 A Tight Embrace
Calvin said, “Whether we are falling out or not, Chairman Blake, there’s no need for you to know too much. I didn’t see Albert.”No one could force a word out of him if he didn’t want to speak.Karl, understanding Calvin’s style, knew better than to press the matter. Truth be told, there was no need to ask—Carson had likely crossed a line that Calvin, who couldn’t tolerate even a speck of sand in his eyes, found unforgivable. Perhaps even Albert himself was not worth seeing in Calvin’s view.This is tricky.Karl kept a smile on his face and said, “Carson—that boy lacks determination. Albert has mentioned many times that… well, never mind. Even raising his own son hasn’t been easy for him. It’s clear that mistakes are inevitable in other areas as well. But let’s not dwell on it.”Despite his lighthearted tone, Karl was struggling internally.With his current cash flow issues, he had planned for Albert to meet Calvin tonight, hoping to reinforce his confidence and secure financial suppo

In the evening, the Grand Empire lawyers dined at Savory Spice Heaven.Adriana kept her thoughts to herself—after all, her last traumatic experience had taken place here, and revisiting the same place felt like an emotional wipeout.As they entered the private dining room, Marshal smiled and said, “Lawyer Clarke, this way, please.”Marshal, holding the highest position, rightfully should have taken the seat across from the door. However, he reached out to invite Adriana instead, even offering her the most honorable chair.Wasn’t that cynicism?Adriana politely declined, took a seat on the left side, and pulled out a chair. “Minister Marshal, you are too polite. You are the host, and I am the guest. Where is the reasoning in competing with the host for a seat?”Lawyer Miller smiled. “Lawyer Clarke, with your relationship with the president, why be so modest? Not to mention just a single seat—this entire restaurant must look up to you!”Adriana didn’t show even a hint of anger. She simp

Carson wasn’t blind, nor was he stupid. The lingering redness at the corner of Adriana’s mouth wasn’t from accidentally scraping it while drinking water.“You left too quickly at lunch. I hadn’t finished what I was saying. Busy now?” he asked.Adriana replied calmly, “Just finished work. I was about to head down.”Carson nodded, finally turning his attention to Calvin, who was practically radiating hostility. “Calvin, I’ll be taking my person with me. I wouldn’t want to disturb your office. See you later.”Calvin’s fingers casually brushed over the corner of his mouth. Then, as if savoring the moment, he deliberately glanced at the faint traces left on Adriana’s lips—his traces.“Miss Clarke, seven o’clock—don’t be late.”Adriana’s head buzzed for a moment. Can’t you phrase it more clearly? Now it sounded like they had some private rendezvous.She quickly corrected him. “Of course, Mr. Calvin. The Grand Empire Legal Department is full of industry elites. I’ll be sure to learn from the
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 173 Why didn't you answer the phone?
Adriana knocked on the door and entered after receiving Calvin’s permission. “This is—”Before she could finish, Calvin’s landline rang. He gestured for her to come forward while answering the call.“Cancel tomorrow’s appointment with General Manager Park. Is he waiting for my time, or am I waiting for his? Let him think carefully before reaching out again."It seemed like things weren’t going his way over there, and Calvin’s tone was strong.Adriana placed the two documents on her left and right and waited with her head lowered.Calvin answered three calls in a row. Ten minutes passed before he finally freed himself. “What’s this?”“This one is paperwork, and this one is a document the secretary asked me to bring in,” Adriana replied.Calvin wasn’t sure he had heard her correctly. “The secretary told you to bring it in?”“She had an emergency and had to meet someone in the parlor. I just happened to be delivering something to you, so she asked me to bring this along.”Calvin leaned b
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 172 What's with the president today?
The deeper meaning was self-evident—she had been discarded in the divorce, yet now she was being specially invited to participate in an important case for the company.Marshal could see this implication, and the others weren’t foolish either. Sensing the situation, they quickly followed suit, laughing and saying:“Thanks to the president’s appreciation, today’s hardest-working person is Lawyer Clarke. She wrote the entire draft, and it took a great deal of effort.”“Lawyer Clarke is meticulous in her work—a role model for us all.”“Despite her age, Lawyer Clarke considers issues with remarkable depth and a fresh perspective.”Adriana didn’t feel pleased. Instead, she felt immense pressure.These people were experts at reading the room. The moment they sensed Calvin’s attitude toward her, they immediately started singing her praises.She kept her expression neutral and replied modestly, “Compared to all of you, I’m still a novice. I’m grateful that you seniors are willing to guide me d
