Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 53 Henry is gentle than me
Aidan said, “Just say directly that you are free tomorrow.”Snow replied, “Am I not allowed to be euphemistic?”Adriana suggested, “Why don’t we get together tomorrow? I haven’t gone back to New York to look around the neighborhood yet.”Aidan said with disgust, “Your cold is still not over, and your nose has been dripping all night. Do you still want to go out? Stop. Let’s go hiking when you get better to give you some exercise.”Snow looked at Adriana, who had put on light makeup, but it couldn’t hide the gauntness of her eyes. She looked sickly, like she had been abused. “Baby, you’re at least a lawyer, part of the elite class. Can you not be so shabby?”Adriana wore a long spring dress with long sleeves covering the backs of her hands. The skirt was ankle-length, and she stepped on five-centimeter thin heels, which were moderate.Snow could tell that the dress was two seasons out of date.Adriana didn’t want to sell herself short, but she did seem a bit stingy with herself.Previo

She was only twenty years old and had just entered the entertainment industry when a dazzling opportunity beckoned. It was just…She hadn’t even given it to her first boyfriend… was she really going to sell herself for her career?There’s no shortage of people who go out and ‘socialize’ for the sake of getting to the top, but… once you open the floodgates, can you really get out in one piece?Ray took the cell phone back. "You don’t want to? Fine, I’ll have Director Lewis find someone else.""No! I want to!"The girl hugged Ray’s arm, seeming to make a determination. She said, "I am willing to… thank you, Mr. Ray, for giving me the opportunity."Ray replied, "Understand."When Henry arrived, the girl immediately took a seat next to him. She lowered her eyebrows, looking good and docile, like a little dove.Ray commented, "Be careful, it’s her first time."Henry didn’t seem to care much. As for her looks, she wasn’t better than in the photo shoots, but there was something about her unt

The woman’s tearful voice came through the phone. She sounded so aggrieved that it felt as if she could crawl through the screen and cling to his leg. “Ray, I made the sea cucumber soup you like and the strawberry pudding you said you wanted to try last time. I even took cooking classes and learned it from a famous pastry chef just to make it for you. So, come back and eat it, okay?”Ray bent down close to the mirror. A pimple marred his handsome face, sitting stubbornly on his chin. It wasn’t ripe enough to squeeze yet, much to his irritation.“When did I ever say I like sea cucumber soup? Oh… I remember now. But don’t tell me you actually believed that?”The woman was momentarily stunned and didn’t know how to respond. “Don’t you like it?”“Have you forgotten? You told me it was the only dish you knew how to make. Did I have a choice?” Ray replied. His tone dripped with impatience. “Let me be clear—I only said that to humor you. Do you understand?”The woman’s sobs grew louder on th

Agitation didn’t work with Adriana.She ignored it, striding into the women’s restroom.Returning to a familiar city, Adriana knew she would inevitably run into acquaintances. Whether she liked it or not, or if it was awkward, didn’t matter. If she was going to build a career as a lawyer, she would have to deal with a few influential figures.Ray William, Henry Charles, and Calvin Walker are one of them…Only by dealing with them could she gain the wealth she sought.After washing her hands, Adriana caught a handful of water and patted her face. The cold splash jolted her out of the fog caused by an unhealed cold.Looking at her red eyes in the mirror, she muttered to herself: “Adriana Clarke, what’s so noble about you? Can nobility be eaten? Can it bring your mom and dad to the U.S. without them being hunted by creditors or pursued by the law? Are you even qualified to be noble?”She wanted to slap herself to death! More than anything else, she wanted to beat some sense into herself.

His pounding heartbeat and the overwhelming sense of oppression completely overpowered Adriana.She tried to push him away, but his arm was like a bronze wall. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t budge him. “Calvin, don’t tell me you want to kiss me? You said you hated me. So why does it look like you’re obsessed with me? Don’t tell me a man’s heart and body are separate—I don’t believe you can still do this if you truly hate someone.”Calvin didn’t respond to her words. Instead, he continued to imprison her with his absolute superiority. The crystal chandelier’s light reflected in her eyes, which were filled with stubbornness and a self-righteous backbone.“Come with me,” he commanded.Adriana was no match for him. Under his tall frame and overwhelming strength, she was like a powerless rookie. Half-carried and half-dragged, she had no choice but to follow as Calvin pulled her into the Imperial Box.Even as she clung desperately to the doorframe and refused to step inside,

Calvin's hands were all over the place. Even if she did expose that information, it would be suppressed and blocked by him.It wouldn’t work.In front of him, she was nothing more than a paper tiger.Tired, the anger inside her gradually weakened. Adriana picked up the bottle of wine. Without even looking at what it was, she poured a full glass, then looked at Calvin with an attitude of grace and righteousness. Raising her glass, she declared, “Calvin, I’ve spent three years of my life on you. Back then, I was young and energetic, filled with endless enthusiasm. But now, I’m twenty-six years old and no longer have the energy or time to waste. I have parents to feed and need to support myself and them.”“So, I’ll drink this glass of wine to those three years of your ‘care’—to the blood and tears that taught me a valuable lesson. It not only helped me recognize reality but also helped me grow from a naive girl into a mature woman. After today, let’s walk separate paths and never meet ag

Eria had wanted to kill Calvin more than ten or twenty times. Every time Adriana shed tears for him, she felt an uncontrollable urge to grab a wrench and swing it at his head.However, she always stopped herself, blaming her own cowardice. She was afraid of dragging her parents into trouble and terrified that Calvin might retaliate against Adriana even more harshly.Rubbing her messy, sleepy hair, Eria muttered anxiously, “Adria, even if Calvin has his advantages, he doesn’t love you. He’s not worth your tears. In the future, find a man who truly loves you, cares for you, and protects you. The heart of the matter is to live a good life, and the rest is just settling.”Adriana wrapped her arms around Eria and buried her face in her chest, nuzzling against her like a kitten. “Snow, you’re so good to me. You’re my earthly sobriety. If I do something stupid again in the future, scold me until I wake up. I swear, there won’t be a next time.”“The two beautiful ladies—are you up yet? Come e

After more than four hours of light sleep, Calvin’s biological clock woke him at six in the morning.Following his usual routine—morning walk, breakfast, and changing clothes—he drove to the office.Calvin’s morning routine was sharp, brisk, and efficient, with every step seemingly timed with a stopwatch.He would have been in his office at eight o’clock sharp if not for an unexpected encounter on the road.“Calvin Walker, I am going to kill you!”As his car was about to enter the company’s basement, a bucket of red paint suddenly fell from above, splashing the black Rolls-Royce. The entire hood looked as if it had been sprayed with blood. Calvin’s brows tightened.The man who threw the paint screamed and hissed while holding the oil drum, “Calvin, you bully people too much! I am not convinced! Not convinced!”“Are you looking for death? Do you know who he is?”The security team reacted swiftly. Sensing trouble, they quickly rushed over and subdued the perpetrator.

Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 180 Are you looking for death?
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,
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 179 You kissed me
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

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
