Chapter 181 I will take care of it

Seeing Calvin and Carson angrily facing each other, it seemed like they were about to start fighting again. Adriana put down what she was holding and sat down with a stern face.“You two can bandage each other up. Since you're both so capable of fighting, you can handle the aftermath just as well.”“No way.”“Never happening.”Surprisingly, they were at least consistent on this point.“Well then, since neither of you wants to do it, bear with it. After this, go home — to whoever you like.”Not wanting to get entangled with either of them any further, Adriana just wanted to leave with a clean slate.Carson tugged at her wrist, his red, swollen face filled with helplessness. “You’re not really going to leave, are you?”Adriana looked down at his hand, then forced him to let go. “I made myself very clear already. No matter what you do, I won’t appreciate it. Whether I’m desperate, heartless, or however you want to see me — it doesn’t matter. You can think of me as a scummy girl if you wa

Chapter 182 Come to deliver breakfast in the morning

The next day, Adriana packed her things and left for work.When she went downstairs, she saw a familiar car.The neighbourhood she rented in was only mid-range to high-end, and it was rare to see such a luxurious car.The high-profile Aston Martin in front of her certainly didn’t fit in with the overall atmosphere.Adriana instinctively knew there was a familiar face inside, so she turned around to leave.Drip!The horn blared, the driver’s window rolled down, and a head peeked out.“I’ve seen it all. Where are you planning to hide?”Adriana knew dodging was pointless, so she switched to a standard, polite smile — the kind an employee would show when greeting their superior.“Deputy Director Carson showing up at his subordinate’s doorstep first thing in the morning — that can’t be a coincidence, right?”The injury on Carson’s face, after a night of settling in, looked even worse. The swelling had intensified, and the bruise had deepened in color. His left eye, the one that had taken t

Chapter 183 I need to meet the defendant

“It’s you!”With no strength left to defend herself, Adriana instinctively took a step back. It was in that moment she saw the man holding a spring-loaded knife in a menacing grip — the very same traffic policeman who had impounded her driver’s license, and also that lady’s own son.The man’s mouth twisted as he gritted his teeth and spat, “Little bitch, what the fuck did you just say? You’re trying to get my mom killed! You’re going to get my whole family killed!”There was no one at the entrance of the courthouse at this moment. The knife in his hand could stab her at any time, completely out of control. Adriana’s top priority was to stabilize him.Forcing herself to stay calm, Adriana said evenly, “I didn’t know she was a mother. That day, I only saw her riding a bicycle alone. I thought it looked difficult and I just wanted to help her.”“Don’t

Chapter 184 He is not a murderer

Since it was Carson’s case, and the subsequent statute, he had also arranged a number of back doors.Aidan took out his phone and sent a message to the Public Security Bureau, and Adriana met the defendant at the detention center that afternoon.Maybe it was the stereotypes, or maybe it was the social opinion. However, no matter how Adriana looked at him, the man in front of her fit the "bad guy" stereotype.The man was about 5'2" tall, or maybe a little taller in actuality. He had a round head, but his body was too fat to complement his head. His round-necked single-layer shirt was covered in floral tattoos stretching across the back of his exposed hands and wrists.The man saw her and grinned, showing his yellow teeth from years of smoking.Adriana thought to herself, “Where did Carson get the courage to plead for him to be not guilty? His dignified appearance in the courtroom would make the entire jury want to smash eggs.”

Chapter 185 Cursing in a roundabout way

She moved a beat slower still, the tingling sensation of skin contact coming from her ankle. When she looked again, a pair of large, clean, slender hands cupped her heels and effortlessly took off her shoes.So Adriana asked a second time, “What are you doing?”But the question in her stomach wasn’t only this one. She also wanted to ask why Calvin had suddenly shown up. Shouldn’t he be at the celebration banquet? Even if he wasn’t planning to attend, he still shouldn’t be meeting her here, at this time.The occasion and atmosphere were bizarre.Only, she didn’t get a reply from Calvin — instead, she was rewarded with a sharp crunching click.Calvin held the high heels in one hand and struck them against the concrete floor with such force that the slender heel snapped off.Adriana opened her mouth in shock and frustration, wanting to curse and lash out. “Calvin, if you’re upset, you

Chapter 186 Tugging his sleeve in a fear

As night fell far from the downtown area, the half-full moon hung behind the clouds, and every gust of wind carried a thick atmosphere of terror.Adriana had never thought of herself as too timid before. But today, standing at the crime scene behind the police cordon, surrounded by lifeless silence, fear crept into her heart, thick and suffocating.Thinking about it during the day hadn’t felt that thrilling, but now, standing here in person at night, she had to admit — she really wasn’t mentally prepared for this.Seeing her uneasiness, Calvin slowed his steps, trying to keep her close to him. “Scared?”Adriana’s body instinctively leaned toward him, though her mouth remained stubborn as usual. “I’m a professional. I’ve experienced this kind of thing before.”Calvin suddenly quickened his pace. With his long legs and large strides, he pulled away in just two or three steps. All that was le

Chapter 187 You really work hard, thank you.

Without any warning, her body was suddenly attacked by a strong force. Adriana reflexively resisted, the bag in her hand smashing against his back — but in an instant, it was snatched away from her with one hand and thrown to the ground with brute force, disappearing somewhere in the darkness.Lips torn apart, her mouth forced open, she couldn’t make a single sound to call for help. There was no time to care about her clothes. The sound of fabric tearing filled her ears as her jacket was ripped off, and the buttons of her shirt were plucked apart by his rough hands, vanishing like they had never existed.Horrified from within, Adriana tried to bite down, but a sharp pain in her jaw made it impossible to close her mouth.Everything happened in just ten seconds or so — but for Adriana, it felt like half a century.She knew the violent man in front of her was Calvin, but the fear spreading from the depths of her heart still crawled over her

Chapter 188 Can you please not mix personal matters with work?

The next day, Adriana arrived at the law firm early in the morning.She analyzed the scene from last night, wrote up a report, and then went to Carson’s office.Carson’s face was still swollen, though better than yesterday. He was still not shy about speaking his mind. He casually remarked, “Did you not sleep well? Why do you look so awful?”Adriana handed over the report. “I’ve seen the scene. There’s some evidence I need to retrieve from the Public Security Bureau. Do you have a way to help me access the remains?”Carson read through the report, his face turning even darker than yesterday. “Wait… How do you know the details about how women are forced— Hold on a minute, don’t tell me you recreated the scene? Who did you reenact it with? A man or a woman?”“Deputy Director Carson, you’re focusing on the wrong point…”Carson tossed the repo

Chapter 189 Meal worth of her living room

Adriana suddenly gained a whole new understanding of the phrase “barely make do.”Carson led the way to a Michelin one-star Japanese restaurant in New York City — the only truly authentic Japanese restaurant in the area. All the ingredients were flown in directly from Japan, and both the chefs and waitstaff were Japanese.The décor perfectly reflected the Japanese artisanal spirit — subtle, exquisite, and upgraded to be even more pleasing to the eye.Adriana smiled politely, though she was crying inside. “Deputy Director Carson, you have excellent taste.”“You’ve only discovered less than one percent of my good qualities.”Yes, yes, except for the scummy parts, Adriana muttered inwardly.Carson was clearly familiar with the place. The waiter immediately recognized him and respectfully led them to a private room, speaking Japanese as he introduced the new seasonal dishes.Carson responded fluently in Japanese, relaxed and casual, as if he were hosting in his own living room.Meanwhile,

Chapter 190 What did Anna do to you?

A standard lunch with a bill showing $13,000 spent.Adriana was starting to seriously worry about herself — the speed at which she made money couldn’t keep up with the way it was disappearing. Yesterday, she lost her shoes and clothes. Today, she was out of food money.As they stepped outside, Carson casually grabbed her wrist and led her forward. Adriana was stunned.“Wait — I haven’t paid the bill yet! Hold on a second.”“What bill? You think I’d actually make you pay when you’re having lunch with me? I’m a member here — it’s directly debited from my card.”Hearing that she didn’t have to pay, Adriana felt a mix of relief and increased anxiety. Asking Carson for help at work was one thing — it could at least be framed as professional cooperation. But accepting his generosity in private settings blurred the line between personal and professional, and that unsettled her.“I owe you for this meal. Next time, it’s on me.”“So much effort just to avoid owing me a favor?”“You want the tr
