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

    "He doesn’t love you!"Adriana’s face remained as calm as water, but her heart shattered, and the sharp pain cut through to her very bones.If Calvin had truly loved her, he wouldn’t have just stood aside and watched her family go bankrupt. He wouldn’t have stayed silent when the debtors blocked their door, pouring filthy water over her family and dragging their names through the mud. No matter how much she pleaded and cried before him, he had remained indifferent.He just didn’t love her.She still remembered that night—standing outside his door, soaked by the pouring rain for hours, crying until her voice turned hoarse. But no matter how hard she begged, he never opened the door. He didn’t even look at her, let alone say a word.If the butler hadn’t dragged her away, maybe she would have died that night.If her body hadn’t been battered to its limits, she wouldn’t have...The pain in her heart constricted, as though it had been thrown into a blender, shattering and slicing into her

    The case is already over, and they are not partners anymore!Ask her to go over there!Dream on!Adriana didn’t bother and put her phone back into her bag.Except for having a good background, what else does Anna have? Her face didn’t look good, her heart was as back as coal, and she put so much makeup on her face that one couldn’t even see her true skin. Adriana resents this kind of person the most, and she hates Calvin even more who wants to get married to her.Seeing Adriana’s reaction, Calvin raised his eyebrows slightly.****What Adriana had said earlier kept repeating in Anna’s mind like a film and because of this she felt a little strange to be standing with Calvin, “Calvin, where is your car?”They had a little drink in the evening, so she couldn’t drive. Moreover, she hadn’t informed her driver as at a time like this it’s supposed to be the man who takes the woman home.However, Calvin didn’t have self-consciousness at all, “I still have something to do.

  • Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 41 Calvin Walker! What the hell do you want?

    Calvin lifted his arm, and his fingers frivolously slid from her brow bone to her chin. He moved closer to her, shortening the distance between them.Ten centimeters, five centimeters, one centimeter… he didn’t stop until when their lips were only an inch apart from each other. If they moved a little, their lips would touch each other.“A dog wagging its tail begging for mercy from me dares to be compared to a canary raised in a cage. You don’t mind the fishy smell on your body, aren’t you afraid that others will be disgusted that you are dirty?”“Oh, so there are still some things in the world that Calvin Walker is no good at, such as cursing. You should learn from Miss Blake how to curse people without repetition.”No one was around, so Adriana was not worried about being seen by anyone. She stepped on her high heels and took a half step closer to the man’s chest, tilting her head. Although she was short in height, she was not afraid at all. “No, I also feel dirty. When I think of m

    It was the first time Calvin had heard Adriana scold him using his full name.She was so angry that her face stiffened, her forehead bulged with misplaced veins, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with endless fury.His deep, unhurried gaze ran over her face as if he were admiring a small wildcat blowing up in his master’s hand. “What do you think I want? Anyone who betrays me has to pay, and the only thing about you that interests me is your dying breath.”Adriana laughed bitterly, her heart weary, her once-erect posture now wilting feebly. “I didn’t betray you.”But she couldn’t say, ‘I love you with all my heart. I just didn’t think so much would happen behind my back,’ nor did she want to justify the fragmented memories of the past six years.After pausing for a moment, she said, “By the end of next week, after the implementation, you and I will return to our original worlds. Before then, I’ll move out of the Green Wick complex. You lost your money, and I lost six years of my

    His tone was softer, as though he had learned how to listen and care more about others.Indeed, love had the power to change everything. Business marriages might be for show, but the one he had chosen appeared to be his true love.Rose explained, “The bad weather delayed the flight by an hour. Did you have to wait long?”Calvin shook his head. “No.”Adriana couldn’t help but think sarcastically, Of course not! He wasn’t idle for a moment. When you weren’t here, he had both his new lover and old lover to keep him entertained. How lively.Noticing that Calvin didn’t seem ready to leave, Rose said thoughtfully, “You two talk. I’ll wait for you in the car.”Calvin nodded and instructed Eric, “Come along.”Rose smiled at Adriana once more before following Calvin’s lead.Her tall, elegant figure contrasted with Calvin’s composed demeanor, adding

    Adriana sighed. “Don’t give me any blueprints for the future. I’ve got a headache. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up!”“Did you check your temperature? Do you have a fever? If you’re running a fever, you must take medicine. Your brain is your most precious asset—don’t fry it!”Adriana smirked. “Maybe I’ll give Mark a call and tell him I’m ready to accept his offer.”“Don’t you dare! I’m not joking with you! Anyway, I’ll hang up first.”After putting her phone down, Adriana walked back to her bedroom, collapsed onto her bed, and drifted off to sleep again.****When she woke up, the sun was already setting.She had spent the entire day in a daze. Her cold hadn’t improved, and she was certain she had a fever when she felt her forehead. With no choice, she got dressed and prepared to get some medicine.

    He wants to make a deal for dinner?She is just a part B, not a slave.Taking a deep breath, Adriana smiled slightly. “If you’re not hungry, you can stay here and enjoy the scenery. I’ll find a restaurant myself. Don’t tell me every restaurant along the riverbank is on the bayou—if that’s the case, I’ll just have to put up with it.”Calvin followed her, though he despised the idea of chasing after a woman and trying to guess her thoughts. Yet, he still did it.“Stop.”Adriana sighed helplessly, closing her eyes. Her hands hung loosely at her sides, fists forming as if she might swing at him in the next moment. “Alright, say what you need to say.”“For the next week, whatever you hear and see—don’t believe it.”“In what way?”Calvin stepped past her, taking the lead. “You’ll find out.”“Anyth

    Anna’s lips curled slightly. With a woman’s sixth sense, she immediately sensed that Alex had his eyes on Adriana.It would be far easier for him to stir the pot than for her to rack her brain trying to drive Adriana away herself. Perhaps God had finally seen her suffering and decided to show her some mercy.“You mean Lawyer Clarke, huh…”Before she could finish, Calvin interrupted. “Lawyer Clarke will only be in London for half a day and is not involved in this project. There’s no need for you to know her.”Alex looked a little disappointed, his emotions written plainly across his face. “Then I can visit her in New York later.”Calvin’s authoritative aura sharpened, his London-accented voice carrying a weight that even a local like Alex found overwhelming. “No way.”As soon as he spoke, he turned to Anna with an indifferent expression. “Didn’t you wan

    Carson picked up his phone, put it down, then picked it up again. He had lost count of how many times he hesitated, calculating the time difference between New York and London.It was already afternoon over there—more than ten hours of flight time. Adriana can’t still be sleeping… can she?‘Will I disturb her rest?’Tossing and turning, he couldn't sleep. Watching the dawn break, he found himself lost in thought about the law firm. His gaze drifted to Adriana’s forbidden office, the closed door standing like a barrier. His mood felt hollow—like the emptiness of a lost love.The moment Adriana’s message appeared in the work group, he hurriedly called her.His series of movements were so swift that he took his own breath away.The phone connected, but there was only the sound of wind in the background—she was clearly outdoors. Carson immediately followed up, “Are you outside?”

    The exotic flavor of the Thames, combined with the surrounding atmosphere, was extraordinarily charming. Even Calvin’s usually indifferent eyes seemed to hold a hint of tenderness when they landed on Adriana.She figured she probably wasn’t jet-lagged yet—her brain was just on the fritz.Dragging herself back from the deception of poetry, Adriana put on a straight face and said, “One day, when you can’t stand it anymore and want a divorce, I can defend you to increase your chances of winning. You might as well do a good job of property division before the marriage. Try to be as detailed as possible in the prenuptial agreement. Lawyer Marshal would definitely be happy to help draft the contract—after all, he’s a connoisseur in these matters.”Calvin watched her red lips open and close with interest. Such a pretty little mouth—why did every word that came out of it have to be laced with thorns?Unfazed,

    Adriana had never reacted so quickly before. In less than the blink of an eye, she dodged Calvin’s hand, moving swiftly to the door. Composing herself, she casually smoothed her long hair and smiled.“What was the president saying just now? I’ve remembered it. Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to do my job seriously.”Calvin’s fingers lingered in the air for a moment before curling into a fist. He quickly concealed any reaction and responded smoothly, “Then I’ll leave the hard work to Lawyer Clarke.”After their seamless exchange, Adriana turned to Miley and smiled warmly. “Secretary Miley, are the miners organized?”Miley, still in a daze, struggled to process what she had just seen.She could have sworn she saw the president’s hand moving intimately near Lawyer Clarke’s face, as if they were sharing a secret.But now, the mood was completely serious again.H

    “Yeah, maybe it’s just stress?”Anderson coughed, straightened his tie, and said, “Without that diamond, don’t take our porcelain work. Mr. Marshall took such a big risk by making her the vanguard, huh? She better have the ability to back it up.”Miley listened and found his words reasonable. Originally, she had been a subordinate of Marshall, but now the leader had positioned her as a battering ram, essentially demoting her. However, Adriana didn’t seem to care about rankings at all—she neither hesitated nor flaunted herself. She was straightforward.“Lawyer Clarke has a doctorate from Cornell University and has handled many major cases. She should be strong.”“Strength? How much strength does it take to hold down Mr. Marshall, who has over twenty years of courtroom experience? How did you become a secretary when you’re so quick to take someone else’s side?”Miley

  • Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 214 Crying in the washroom

    Anna slowly stretched out her hand, wanting to grab that broad, slender hand. "Falling in love is a matter between two people, but marriage involves two families—especially a prestigious family like the Walkers. Without enough strength to stand shoulder to shoulder with you, sooner or later, one has to leave. Adriana will never enter the Walker family in this lifetime. Grandpa specifically told me that as long as he lives, she will never step foot inside, not even half a step."This was her bottom line, and because of it, she was never afraid of Adriana dangling in front of Calvin’s eyes.Calvin withdrew his hand, avoiding her touch. "And what makes you think you have what it takes to enter the Walker family?"Anna's expression froze in horror.She had thought that as long as her father and the Walker family reached an agreement, nothing could change the marriage. But she had underestimated Calvin’s iron will. Would he really go against

  • Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 213 Your heart ached for her?

    Adriana was confused.Adriana, what?In those six years, it was the first time she had heard Calvin not call her by her full name or surname. His tone, alluring and suggestive, was enough to make anyone's heart waver.It was just a pity that the occasion was wrong, the purpose impure, and there was no tenderness or love—only endless disgust.Was he even a man?Soon to be married to someone else, yet here he was, treating her as if she were nothing but a past amusement. From time to time, he would tease her when he was in a good mood—offering a fleeting moment of sweetness, only to discard her without a second thought.He treated her as if she had no dignity, no pride.Secretly gritting her teeth and taking a shallow breath, Adriana turned her head to look at Calvin, a flawless smile gracing her lips—one worthy of an award-winning actress."Mr. Calvin, haven’t I told you before? Our relationship is now as

    For the rest of the ten-hour long-haul flight, Calvin sat next to Anna. The two of them either spoke in hushed voices, occasionally writing and sketching on documents, or exchanged light smiles.Even during meals, they continued chatting, creating an atmosphere of perfect harmony.Their voices were so low that Adriana couldn’t make out what they were discussing. She tried to focus on her papers, determined not to let irrelevant thoughts distract her.Eventually, she drifted off to sleep, still clutching her documents. When she woke, the cabin was unusually quiet. Most passengers were asleep, the reading lights dimmed by the flight attendants, leaving only a soft, hazy glow in the first-class section.It was then that she noticed Anna leaning against the back of her chair, her head tilted slightly toward Calvin. At first glance, it almost looked as if they were nestled together, sleeping.The seats were adjusted to the perfect recline for rest
