Chapter 131 Run a bath water

Calvin’s home was in the middle of a high-rise building, occupying the top floor. With no buildings in front of it, he never had to worry about prying eyes, even with the windows open. The unobstructed view and luxurious living space made it an excellent place to reside.With two floors to himself and at least a thousand square feet per floor, Adriana couldn’t help but wonder if he had ever played basketball in the living room.Not only was it spacious, but the Scandinavian-style decor was also meticulous—minimalist, refreshing, and distinctly cold. As soon as she stepped inside, she felt the temperature drop a few degrees. It must be an ideal retreat during the summer heat.After quickly scanning the house’s furnishings, Adriana asked, "Where’s the medical kit?"Calvin strode into the living room and sank into the center of a long, straight couch. "Upstairs, storage room—shelf to the right of the restroom."A spiral staircase led to the second floor, with hollow bookshelves lining th

Chapter 132 Unbutton me

With resentment and resignation, Adriana went upstairs to the master bedroom, first spitting into Calvin’s extravagant panoramic bathroom. As the water drained, she stepped into the bedroom to take a look around.Before she could examine his interior design and bedding, her eyes caught sight of a tall, black object near the window. Lifting the screen, she discovered a high-powered telescope with a large lens.Such a telescope was usually meant for stargazing, and knowing Calvin’s bravado, she figured it could probably capture the surface of the moon as well.Curiosity got the better of her, and she padded over to take a look.It wasn’t about what she intended to see—but what actually appeared in her line of sight. To her shock, she was staring at a familiar scene: her own house. The very place where, just half an hour ago, she had engaged in a battle of wits with Calvin!Calvin had set up a telescope in his bedroom to spy on her home?Imbecile! Pervert! Neurotic! she cursed inwardly.

Chapter 133 Open it for me

This scene was too easy to evoke a charming reverie. Even without doing anything, her hands were already dripping with water. What’s more, right in front of her, Calvin stood wearing nothing but his pants. He was like an open-screen peacock.Calvin said, “Wash it for me.”Adriana’s gaze flickered between the bathtub and him in a two-point sweep. “I am sorry, Mr. Calvin, but I am not some bathhouse attendant. I don’t provide this service.”Calvin took her hand and placed it on his belt. “Open it.”‘Damn it! Did he not understand human language? Why did he act as if he were blocking her words?’Adriana curled her fingers stubbornly and said, word by word, “Don’t force me.”Calvin arched a brow. “See for yourself. Can this belt be undone with one hand?”Adriana hesitated before glancing down. Indeed, the belt had a slot-style buckle that required both hands to unfasten before it could be pulled out. It really wasn’t something that could be done with just one hand.Her fingers fumbled awk

Chapter 134 Calvin had depression

There was a limit to how much one could fool people.But Calvin seemed to have none.He ignored Adriana’s hostile attitude and continued, “The executives of Grand Empire’s Chicago branch misappropriated company funds and conspired with the head of finance to falsify accounts. Based on our current information, the missing funds range between fifty and eighty million dollars. That money must be recovered.”Adriana’s brows furrowed. “That’s your problem.”Her voice was still laced with gunpowder.Calvin remained unfazed. “It’s inconvenient for our in-house legal team to intervene, and I don’t have a suitable candidate from other firms at the moment. You happen to have studied international law and have experience with overseas litigation, so there’s no need for me to look elsewhere. Of course…”He finally turned to her, his gaze deep and unreadable beneath the lingering mist.“It’s up to you whether you take it or not.”Ten million.An ungodly agency fee.How many small cases would she h

Chapter 135 Can't you find a place to sleep here?

Placing the medicine bottle back in its place, Adriana couldn’t help but wonder.Calvin has such a strong heart, and he’s always the one bullying and cursing others. Who could possibly put pressure on him?Could it be Grand Empire or something like that? The Walker family had a vast number of personnel, and currently, the chairman of Grand Empire was George. Although Calvin held the position of president, whether he could ascend to the top of the pyramid still depended on George’s intentions.His uncles, cousins, and countless others were all eyeing his position.As for depression…Calvin gave her life-coaching lectures every day—couldn’t he give one to himself?Lost in thought, Adriana made her way downstairs. Still stuck in her pie-in-the-sky brainstorming, she accidentally kicked the leg of the table and stumbled back in pain.From the moment she came downstairs, Calvin noticed her absentmindedness, as if she had left her brain somewhere else. “What are you thinking about?”Adriana

Chapter 136 Anna is here

Who knew that just as she took a step, she would see Calvin coming out of the master bedroom?Her attempt at a padded-toe walk instantly became awkward—by and large, a social death moment.“Ahem! Good morning!” Adriana straightened her back and forced an awkward smile.Calvin, standing with one hand at his side, looked a little worse for wear after sleeping all night. His bandage had come loose, making it look even messier.And yet, even in his just-woken-up, slightly disheveled state, he was still frustratingly good-looking.Before she could figure out what to say, the doorbell rang.Adriana’s eyes widened in alarm, instantly on guard. “Who’s here?”The next moment, she instinctively turned to retreat into her room. But before she could take a step, Calvin grabbed her collar.“What are you hiding for? We didn’t do anything last night.”Yeah, but who would believe that when we both look like this? she thought.Calvin half-wrapped his arm around hers as he led her downstairs, preventin

Chapter 137 Public affection was a little nauseating

As Calvin changed his clothes, he didn’t bother with cufflinks and casually rolled up his shirt sleeves, exposing his sturdy, well-proportioned forearms. While rolling up his left sleeve, he naturally extended his right arm and said, “Help me fold this.”Adriana had just picked up yesterday’s washed clothes. Glancing at his outstretched arm, she chuckled. “Your girlfriend is waiting downstairs. Shouldn’t you give her a chance to show concern? Injuries like yours are perfect for stirring a woman’s heartache—and bringing the two of you closer.”Calvin replied, “You watched me get injured last night and saw everything since. Did that bring us any closer?”Adriana choked for a second before retorting, “I was talking about a boyfriend and girlfriend, not business partners.”Calvin scoffed, full of disdain. As he looked down at Adriana rolling up his sleeves, his gaze lingered on her hands—slender and clean, with neatly trimmed, translucent nails left unpainted, revealing a natural, healthy

Chapter 138 Before or after bedtime?

Anna panicked and quickly grabbed a tissue for him. “Are you okay?”Calvin wiped the corner of his mouth and wordlessly waved his hand, signaling her to sit back down. His coughing fit had left his eyes bloodshot, and even after wiping his mouth, he coughed again, unsure of how much soup he had actually inhaled.Anna tested the temperature of the soup—it wasn’t too hot. How did he choke? she wondered.Then it hit her. No, it wasn’t the soup. It was because of Adriana’s remark.It had been three years since the divorce, filled with endless conflict and resentment. After everything, could he still be affected by her?Suppressing her emotions, Anna forced a smile, though her words carried an unmistakable sharpness. “Lawyer Clarke moves fast. You’ve already met the parents—are wedding discussions next?”She wasn’t about to give Adriana any face. If possible, she wanted to strip aw

Chapter 139 Did you sleep with someone?

Two women addicted to fighting didn’t know that Calvin, afraid of them clashing outside the door, had already gone to watch the battle unfold. Every word of their conversation—he heard it all, not missing a single detail.He knew in his heart how much of Adriana’s words were true and how much were false.Even so, when he heard her say, “Mrs. Walker’s throne is hanging in the air; who can claim it, we shall see,” the corners of his mouth betrayed him, curling upward into a faint smile.This woman—only when quarreling or fighting with Anna would she dare to put her name together with his.As for the supposed feeling of how she felt. He’d like to ask himself how, exactly, she was felt with him?****Back at home, Adriana sat brooding, anger simmering beneath the surface.She was furious—furious at herself for agreeing to cooperate with Calvin once again.Furious at her lack of

Chapter 140 Where is she?

The sampling and blood draw were complete, and Snow grew even more nervous. She clung to Adriana’s arm, her skin pale as death beneath the mask and sunglasses.“Adria,” Snow said, her voice trembling, “if I really… if something did happen, we can’t make a big deal out of it.”Adriana sighed deeply. “You’re worried about your career?”Snow looked disheveled, her thoughts unraveling. “The new movie was just signed. If I lose this opportunity to turn my life around, I might never get another chance. If a scandal breaks out now, even if I win the case, I’ll lose everything. Society’s tolerance for women is so low. I’ll probably be forced to retire from the industry.”Her voice faltered, and she added bitterly, “And the few fans I have left will disappear from the radar, too.”Illegal things happen every day, but most victims choose to stay silent or s
