Semua Bab Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife: Bab 201 - Bab 210

He was angry and annoyed, yet he still couldn’t speak firmly.Adriana was grateful, and her tone softened considerably. “Thank you, Deputy Director Carson, for your concern. We will do our best and cooperate fully with the case. As for life—well, I already survived three years in the United Kingdom, didn’t I? So I’ll be fine.”Carson gently stroked the cup, wanting to say something but unable to.Sensing his hesitation, Adriana smirked. “What do you want to say, Deputy Director Carson?”Carson gritted his teeth. “Do you really have a boyfriend?”Adriana thought, Just cut off his hopes completely to avoid any future trouble at the law firm. “Yes. You saw the roses. He sent them.”Inventing this excuse was tantamount to accepting Mark’s opinion. Before she could think of a better solution, she had to choose the lesser of two evils. At least Mark wouldn’t do anything to her in the open, and Carson… what he would do next was unknown.Carson remained silent.The scar on his face had yet to

Sebastian simply responded to Adriana’s explanation, his tone still cold and detached. He kept his distance as much as possible, unwilling to engage with her any more than necessary.Seeing that he was about to leave again, Adriana spoke up once more. “At least I am trying to gain your recognition rather than declaring defeat out of fear after learning about your modus operandi.”This remark struck a nerve in Sebastian. He halted mid-step, his calm gaze locking onto her fearless eyes. “Is it that Lawyer Clarke’s reliance in lawsuits comes from her unflappable tongue and thick skin?”In summary, she was a pest.Years of dealing with Calvin had indeed toughened Adriana’s skin and tempered her resolve. Though clearly outmatched by Sebastian, she remained composed and unruffled. “Not taking shortcuts, not exploiting loopholes in the law— in my opinion, eloquence and resilience are far more worthy of praise. The fact that Deputy Director Sebastian can see through my little tricks at a glan

When Anaya picked up the video call, Ray didn’t make a sound. But now, he knowingly asked her, “Where are you going? Not letting us leave, yet you, the proprietor, are slipping away early.”Anaya pouted, taking on the attitude of a little girl who had been blindfolded. “Brother Ethan is right. I need to interact with more girls and stay away from you guys—especially you, Ray. That little starlet you played with last time seems to be struggling in the industry. You’re so bad. You’ll lead me astray.”Ray was used to hearing people criticize his playboy ways and had no desire to defend his reputation. He simply curled his lips into a smirk and chuckled. “It’s well known that I’m bad. At least I’m open about it. But some people hide their bad side, secretly scheming while putting on the mask of a devoted, good guy. Don’t be too naive about people, especially women.”Calvin patted Anaya’s head and tilted his chin. “Open that bottle of Maotai on the corner of the table for Ray and pour him

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. A mes

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
