Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 83 Who are you with?
Adriana glanced left and right in shock, afraid Calvin might do something reckless in his fit of anger. “You’re hungry and want to eat? A woman like me isn’t worth your effort!”She backed away in a panic, her movement so rushed that she bumped into the cabinet with a loud thud, the sound breaking the tense atmosphere.Calvin turned toward her, noticing her wince in pain. Without a word, he grabbed a pot, filled it with water, and lit the stove.As the water began to heat, he suddenly asked, “You completed your degree in U.K ?”The abrupt change of topic spanned years, making it feel out of place and out of context.Adriana frowned. Did Calvin’s logic get eaten by a dog?“I’m not like you. I couldn’t just stay there without studying,” she replied sharply.The U.K. didn’t allow long-term residency for foreign citizens without a valid work visa or student visa. Family leave was limited to six months at most. She hadn’t wanted to waste her education, and her parents had always emphasized

After hanging up the phone, Adriana returned to the dining room and saw two steaming plates of dumplings with a dish of vinegar in the center.How to say! Calvin was the kind of person who could make even fast food feel ceremonial. The fork and knife were arranged perfectly according to table etiquette, and the dumplings were placed in a neat circle, looking visibly pleasing.Adriana yanked her chair back. “I didn’t say I wanted to eat.”Calvin dipped a dumpling into the vinegar. “Then don’t eat.”Adriana had been hungry for a long time, and the smell of the food only made her hungrier. She was about to pick up the fork, but when he said that, she froze. So instead, she placed her hands on her lap, thinking, It’s not a big deal. I’ll eat after he leaves.“What did you want to tell me earlier?” Adriana asked.Watching her stubbornly refuse to move her fork irritated him. “You’re not punishing me; you’re punishing your body,” he said sharply. “Starving yourself is just making things har

There’s a big difference between fear and hate.Accordingly, Adriana’s answer would reveal her true attitude toward Calvin. If she feared him, it would stem from the imbalance of power between them. But if it was hate, it would suggest psychological resistance. Either way, their cooperation was hanging by a thread, and Adriana had no intention of digging a hole for herself.“Have you ever seen Party A and Party B eating dumplings at home together?” Adriana asked, her tone light but sarcastic. “You’re so condescending—of course, I’m terrified. If the service isn’t good and the cooperation fails, I’ll be the one crying about it.”Calvin picked up another dumpling and took a bite. Though it had cooled, the texture was still decent.“Is this how you live?” he asked, glancing around. “Your house has nothing in it.”The furnishings were high-end French pieces, but the layout was sparse and cold. It didn’t feel like a home.Adriana shrugged. “I’m just staying here temporarily. It’s easier to

With her back solidly pressed against the wall and her hands pinned above her head, Adriana stared at him with wide, furious eyes. Accusations and objections were written all over her face, but her mouth was not free to curse him.Calvin's lips claimed hers with a force that left her reeling, tasting the sweet, familiar flavor of him. No matter how fiercely her expression resisted, her body betrayed her, trembling in response.To be honest, the moment he hugged her and kissed her, he hadn’t thought at all. But if he had stopped to think for even a second — half a second — he knew he wouldn’t have done it. Yet his instincts had once again overpowered reason.He simply wanted to conquer her.He wanted to punish her.Wanted to make her beg for mercy. Wanted to make her cry.When he finally released her, his grip remained firm on her wrists, preventing her from raising a hand to slap him. His gaze dropped to her red, swollen lips, and he couldn’t help but reach out to trace them with his

Calvin was in a foul mood. He hadn’t slept well the night before, and waking up early only made things worse. Since it was the weekend, he didn’t go to the company. Instead, he sat in his study, scrolling through emails with a frown.That morning, he received a call from his grandfather, George Walker, instructing him to meet with the Blake family.“Since you’ve decided to formalize the relationship, you need to make an effort,” George said firmly. “The Blake family is taking this marriage very seriously, and you need to show them the same respect. Choose a few gifts and visit them. Don’t lower the Walker family’s status.”Calvin’s voice was calm but firm. “The engagement is still up for discussion. There’s no need to rush a decision.”George’s tone immediately sharpened. His health wasn’t great, and Calvin usually tried to keep things light to avoid upsetting him. But this time, his grandfather wasn’t having it.“What are you talking about? Your marriage to Anna Blake is already on t

The luxury shopping area was not crowded, even on weekends, and Calvin breezed to the top floor.Adriana originally thought, ‘Even if I buy slippers, they shouldn’t cost around a hundred dollars, right?’However, when she saw the brand’s gold, glittering label, her heart sank. ‘If Calvin asks me to pay, will I even be able to swipe that much on my card?’ she thought, feeling a pang of anxiety.Calvin had refined taste — he always chose the best of everything, even if it was just house slippers.The salesgirl, unaware of Calvin’s real identity, was already mesmerized by his appearance.“Sir, this is our latest model, perfect for home use…” she said, selecting the pair displayed in window C.“Take out two pairs,” Calvin instructed.Adriana laughed dryly. “It’s just for home wear. I think one pair is enough.”Then, she accidentally noticed the price tag on the bottom of the slippers, and her heart trembled. ‘More than six thousand for a pair of slippers?!’The salesgirl, who kept up with

It seemed he was truly serious about marrying Anna. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen a gift so carefully. Adriana though.Adriana forced down her frustration, reminding herself of the conclusion she had come to after a sleepless night.She and Calvin were just business partners. There was no emotional entanglement, no future between them. From now on, Calvin would be nothing more than a stepping stone for her career—a resource bank, a tool.Her goal was clear: she would leverage the Walker family and Grand Empire to climb to the top of the industry, becoming a renowned connoisseur.One day, she would have enough wealth and influence to help her family get back on their feet.Adriana silently repeated to herself, “Remember, Adriana, your priority is your career. Everything else must take a back seat.”The owner of the antique store carefully brought out a twenty-centimeter-high vase, holding it like a priceless treasure.“This is a rare piece,” he said with pride. “It’s said to be a

The limited space, the lighting, and the elegance of music drifting over from the mall worked together to create a tantalizing effect.Such a four-eyed look was tantamount to dry wood meeting a blazing fire, and even two people who had never met before would become captives of the atmosphere.Calvin’s arm muscle tensed. “It seems you have a lot of guts. You dare to play with me as an agitator. However, good lawyers are all over the place. I’m not obligated to you.”Adriana’s finger was still on his lapel, moving back and forth. She thought, Calvin must still have some feelings for me. Otherwise, he would have kicked me out long ago.So, she boldly provoked him. “Mr. Calvin, your newly purchased slippers—do you still want them? After all, I don’t have any man in my house. So, it’s idle to keep them. Why don’t I throw them away?”Her meaning was clear: Don’t think I don’t know you want to take advantage of me. If that’s the case, let’s make a fair deal. If you want to eat tofu, then you

“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
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 212 Adriana, don't make a scene.
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
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 211 Am I that considerate?
Calvin’s private jet has direct flights to London, so why is he taking a commercial flight?Seeing him appear across the cabin—even in the luxurious interior of first class—Adriana still found it incredulous. “I remember you never traveled on a civilian flight before.”Do you want me to repeat Calvin’s original words?'(I don’t have time to check in, and I’m not in the mood to fight for a mouthful of oxygen with a bunch of good and bad people crammed into a confined space.)Calvin crossed one leg over the other, his entire demeanor effortlessly blending with the seat, exuding just the right amount of elegance. “Charlie Munger never took private planes for work travel. First, because big planes are safer. Second, because you meet all kinds of people and get a better understanding of social dynamics.”Heh! Whether horizontally or vertically, it’s still just him being him.Adrian
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 210 Ever chase a woman?
There was only one person in the office—Calvin—and no sign of Anna.One gone, and the next summoned. Who could beat Calvin in shamelessness?Adriana couldn't help but sneer. “President, what are your instructions?”Calvin had no idea what was going through her mind. He only noticed the impatience in her expression. Leaning back in his chair, he met her gaze with a distant look. “Lawyer Clarke, are you in a bad mood?”Adriana remained standing across from him, unwilling to sit. The less time she spent here, the better. “Personal emotions shouldn’t interfere with work. I remember your reminder well. President, you might as well get straight to the point.”Calvin frowned slightly, noticing the exhaustion beneath her eyes. His tone was neutral as he spoke. “Did my words from yesterday push you to burn the midnight oil, striving for excellence? Geniuses aren’t made overnight.”Adriana couldn’t tell what he meant—was it concern, mockery, or a lecture?“There’s a lot of information in the ca
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 209 Walk her head high
Including Marshal, they all expected Adriana to lose control when she heard the news—or at the very least, for her expression to turn ugly. However, she simply smiled graciously, as if she didn’t take it seriously at all.“It seems that the president has a private jet, so why doesn’t he fly there directly? How is this related to our itinerary?”For an ordinary woman, shouldn’t her first reaction be to question the relationship between Calvin and Anna? Why was she focused on the means of transportation instead?Marshal’s gaze shifted before he chuckled. “Oh, that? We’re not sure about the president’s arrangements. Perhaps he has his own reasons.”Adriana didn’t press for details and maintained her composed smile. “That’s right. How could a subordinate possibly guess the leader’s intentions? Minister Marshal, let’s head to the meeting.”Marshal’s smile remained unreadable. “Okay, let’s go to the meeting.”Walking beside them, Anderson struggled to suppress his irritation. Was Adriana me
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 208 Walking joke
Last night, Calvin moved closer to her ear with a tingling touch. Could it have been a kiss? She didn’t notice anything unusual when she washed up in the morning, nothing behind her ears, just in the blind spot of her vision.“You’re looking at it all wrong. It could just be allergies.”Jenny’s workstation was also in the hall. Now and then, she didn’t listen to Selena’s discussion, but Aidan had strictly reminded everyone not to engage in gossip in the law firm. As the senior member of the firm and Aidan’s most capable assistant, she had always followed his rules. Today, seeing the evidence of the crime on Adriana's body, she only dared to ask a few questions.“Lawyer Clarke, don’t be embarrassed. Your boyfriend sent you a bouquet of flowers a few days ago. He seems to be quite attentive. You’re not living together, are you?”Adriana coughed, “Secretary Jenny, Director Aiden is looking for you.”A slender figure in black walked outside the door, but it wasn’t Aidan. The low, furious

It appeared that it had not been withdrawn.Adriana said truthfully, “I… It’s…”Before she could finish, Calvin interrupted her, “A man’s head. Can you just touch it casually?”It was originally just a virtual operation, not to mention that it had been a simple misclick on her part. But somehow, Calvin’s explanation made it seem more serious than it actually was.To prove that it was just a harmless joke within the small program, Adriana went back to the living room to grab her phone. She then returned to the doorway, blocking Calvin, who had just stepped one foot inside. “You probably haven’t played with it yet, right? You seem to have misunderstood that the ‘pat a pat’ function doesn’t necessarily mean patting someone’s head. You can use it freely.”She tapped on the feature and earnestly demonstrated it to him, as if forcibly proving he was making a big deal out of nothing. “This is Snow.”Then, she opened the emoji function and sent an icon of a bag full of money to herself.
