“Shit! How dare you accuse me?” Eria yelled, caught red-handed. She lashed out, tearing and slapping. The girl in front of her turned into a cowering weakling in the blink of an eye.

Eria’s movements were so fast and urgent that Adriana didn’t have time to stop her. By now, they were surrounded by onlookers, and countless cell phones were recording the scene. At that moment, a thought flashed across Adriana’s mind: “We’re doomed!”

The three of them were taken to the police station to give their statements. The girl, beaten beyond recognition, sat crying in a corner.

Eria’s body had no visible injuries, which gave her an edge. However, the situation was far from ideal. Despite Adriana’s testimony that the other girl had started the fight, the police were not inclined to listen. Swearing and verbal provocation, after all, cannot be used as concrete evidence in court.

The girl covered her scratched face, sobbing, “I’ll make sure you end up in jail!”

Eria scoffed, “Who’s afraid of you?”

    Adriana left Eria’s house and took a taxi to the law firm. As soon as she entered, she noticed the strange, gossip-filled glances of her colleagues.Ignoring them, she headed straight to her office and called Ray.The phone rang for nearly a minute before the other party answered, his tone mocking. “Well, well, a rare guest! I never thought I’d live to see Lawyer Clarke take the initiative to call me.”Adriana’s voice was steady. “The person you want to deal with is me—it has nothing to do with Snow. Drop the charges against her, and let’s settle this privately.”Ray lounged in his office, his long legs propped on the desk, swaying rhythmically. “That doesn’t sound like the proud Lawyer Clarke I know.”Having known him for years, Adriana was no longer intimidated. Despite his reputation, she knew Ray wasn’t unreasonable enough to ruin a young woman’s future. “This doesn’t sound like Young Master William either,” she countered. “Loving to play around is one thing, but venting your emot

    The car drove straight to the Moonlight Clubhouse, and Adriana instantly recognized the flamboyant sports car parked outside the entrance as Ray’s ride for the day.In the Imperial Box, Ray leaned back on the sofa, a cigar pinched diagonally between his fingers. Beside him, Gloria snuggled close.Gloria's face was colorful — without makeup but purposefully revealing a bruise. Her hair was neatly combed, and she wore a halter-style long dress. The new Hermès bag in her hand was particularly eye-catching.Adriana greeted them, “Mr. William. Miss White.”“Ho! Look who’s here! The renowned Lawyer Clarke from New York City!” Ray clapped his hands in mock applause. “It’s a great honor for someone as busy as you to take time out of your schedule to meet a little person like me!”Adriana’s blood boiled with anger. If she hadn’t mastered self-control, she wouldn’t have been able to endure such provocative taunts.Gloria obediently followed Ray’s lead, clapping along as she said casually, “Lawy

    Ray treated her like a little princess at the clubhouse, explicitly humiliating her.He just wanted to observe what kind of person Adriana, who could act and pretend, truly was once she peeled off her mask.Essentially, she was no different from the women here—bitchy to the bone.Adriana still stood straight, the light casting shadows on her pale face. Her clear gaze was cold. She was warm and lovely when she smiled, but cold and valiant when serious.There was smoke in the air and a million horses.“Not happy?”Ray crossed one leg and patted the table. “It’s fine if you don’t want to. I’m the most easy-going person and never force myself on people!”His eyes held a clear mix of irony and threat. “What’s the name of that movie? Oh, Dynasty, right? They say several producers spent nearly 200 million dollars on it. A big production of the year, and they’re just waiting for the melon to ripen to recoup their money. How bad must it be for those people?”As he spoke, his hands weren’t idle

    The last time Calvin and Anna had a meal together, both the Walker family and the Blake family kept a close eye on the progress of their interaction. Anna's proactive and enthusiastic approach left the Walker family very satisfied.After all, if someone wants to marry into the Walker family, they must be active and positive in their pursuit. ‘Should their son be the one doing all the chasing? Of course not!’With that thought, George decided to invite Anna to the house for dinner."Don't be nervous," he said. "It's just the three of us today. Calvin's parents are traveling in Switzerland."Anna was flattered by George's invitation and excitedly shared the good news with her parents and elder brother, one by one. She carefully selected a gentle and elegant long dress and asked a stylist to create a hairstyle appropriate for meeting Calvin's family.With a polished, warm, sensible, and skillful appearance, Anna presented herself in front of George."Thank you, Grandpa, for inviting me t

    Adriana was wary, but she pretended to be relaxed, appearing calm, languid, and alluring.Ray stroked his chin, his gaze moving from her brow to her lips. “Eh, Adriana, if you hadn’t done what you did to Calvin, maybe I could have given you a second look.”Adriana leaned back, swinging one leg over the other, drawing closer to Ray. Her smile was cold. “Then I beg you not to look at me! You’re not my type. You ruin my appetite.”Ray deliberately teased her. “So, Calvin is your type? That ice-cold face that never changes expression? And when he’s angry, he’s no different from a walking glacier. That’s what attracts you, right?”Adriana’s tone remained steady. “Women are drawn to cold, domineering men. The kind who stands at the top, giving orders while a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals obey him. It’s the unique charm of the strong.”“Oh, so you’re someone with masochistic tendencies,” Ray sneered.Adriana cursed silently. ‘Psychopath!’Time dragged on as Adriana awkwardly cha

    Adriana's heart snapped in half. ‘Did Calvin hate her so much that he didn’t care about his own face?’Ray happily shook his leg. “That’s fine! I will do it!”After a wave of operation, Adriana had entered a group called “Wave Rise,” with a total of five people.Adriana had disconnected from them when she left New York, but tacitly hadn’t deleted them. It was just that everyone belonged to a group of senior zombies who never posted updates. They didn’t deliberately check their address book or interact much—everything could be ignored.Adriana didn’t post updates, didn’t use the WhatsApp status function, and didn’t like anything, giving people the feeling that she had abandoned the number.Ray sent a group message: (Gather, Adriana is going to sing for everyone.)Adriana: ….Calvin’s didn’t say anything.Adriana stayed silent as well.Henry was the first to reply: (What’s the situation? Is today some Special day?)Ray: (She’s in a good mood and wants to sing “Unholy” to everyone.)Adri

    Henry’s face came close to the camera. “Adriana, you’re an expert! Once you opened your mouth, those mediocre singer of Moonlight won’t be able to survive!”Adriana’s heart rate still hadn’t returned to normal. She couldn’t forget Calvin’s judgmental eyes. Once again, she had disgraced herself in front of him. The persona she had tried to establish was crumbling, piece by piece.If only I could love whoever and whatever I wanted without holding back... but I can’t.Henry shouted again, “Ray! From now on, those female artists under your management need to be trained to Adriana’s standards — charisma, posture, and that voice…”They were still bantering and joking when Adriana picked up her bag. “I have something to do. You guys carry on.”The song was already over, and she didn’t have the emotional strength to stay in the same room with the “living King of Hell.” She also believed Ray wouldn’t continue to make things difficult for Snow.Just as she reached the door, Calvin lifted his ar

    “Don’t pretend to be dumb. I don’t find it interesting at all.”“Your friend beats my woman, and you want to resolve it with one song? Isn’t that too cheap?”Having seen Ray’s manipulative antics, Adriana could only patiently play along to deceive him. “The conditions were set by you, so aren’t you afraid of losing face by going back on your word like this? Oh, right — a man who encourages his girlfriend to pick fights probably doesn’t care about face anyway.”Ray turned to Calvin with a complaining tone. “Calvin, did you hear that? Adriana is scolding me.”Adriana felt annoyed, thinking, I should have guessed that Ray had me on speakerphone.Calvin, sitting there in his usual calm style — as if nothing in the world could faze him — replied, “Don’t you have a mouth? If you have the guts to talk back, then do it. If you don’t, just hold it in.”“Really? You won’t step in if I yell at her? You’re just going to let me handle it?” Ray asked, his tone full of villainous intent.Calvin rema

    “Thank you for the invitation, but today is obviously not suitable for a door-to-door visit. I’ll treat you to dinner another day as a thank-you for your frequent help over the past two days, whether it’s rare for you or not.”Adriana didn’t give Calvin a chance to respond. Today, she would not set foot in his house again—no matter what.A man and a woman in a closed space—it was easy to make irrational decisions, especially for a woman. The atmosphere could quickly lead to something impulsive. And besides, she wasn’t entirely immune to Calvin’s charm.Calvin stood calmly outside the car door, noting the resistance in her eyes.“Very well. I’ll wait for Lawyer Clarke’s thank-you banquet!”He was testing Adriana’s boundaries little by little, figuring out how to get along with her.The corner of Adriana’s mouth twitched into a polite smile. “Goodbye.”Turning the car around, Adriana gripped the steering wheel. The open window let in fresh air, and the sunlight warmed her face. The most

    “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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    “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.

    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
