Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 110 You slept with Calvin
Anger and shame went hand in hand. Adriana was so furious that she could only tremble, unable to utter a single word.She gripped her fork tightly, stabbing the food on her plate piece by piece, as if it were Calvin himself. She itched to cut him into a thousand pieces.Noticing the bruise on her exposed neck, Calvin felt a twinge of regret for being too rough. "Does your body hurt?" he asked.Adriana shot him a fierce glare, her eyes brimming with a murderous aura. "Why don’t you grab a stick and poke yourself to see if it hurts?"Her voice was raw, each syllable laced with restrained rage, as though even her words sought to inflict damage.Seeing her shoulders tremble and her face pale with fury, Calvin raised an eyebrow and remarked, "What’s this? Did you swallow gunpowder?"Adriana refused to dignify him with a response. She lowered her head, continuing to torture the food on her plate.How could he not care? she thought bitterly. How could he conveniently forget?Is he really cap

In the afternoon, Adriana received a call from Mark.After the dinner we had last time, we haven’t spoken. Why is he calling me now? she wondered.“What’s the matter, Lawyer Wilson?” she asked.His tone was serious. “I heard you’re still representing Grand Empire.”Word travels fast enough, she thought.“Yes, it’s still me,” Adriana replied.Mark mused, “Maybe I can help you. We used to have a hostile relationship, but I’ve withdrawn from the case. As for John, I’ve done a detailed analysis on him before. I’ve even visited his old home personally.”Adriana was surprised. So it’s possible to operate like this?“Why are you helping me?” she asked, her voice tinged with suspicion.On the other end of the line, there was the sound of rustling clothes and a door opening. “Let’s talk face-to-face. Buy me a coffee,” Mark said.Both of them were efficient, and within twenty minutes, they were sitting across from each other at a café.Mark was dressed impeccably in a tailored suit of Korean de

For the entire time, Adriana hadn’t had a chance to speak or interject.As they walked out of the Supreme Court, a sudden thought struck Adriana. The presiding judge had the same surname as Mark—Wilson. She turned to him, curious. “He’s your…”“My second uncle,” Mark admitted, cutting her off. “My dad’s real brother. But I’ve never taken advantage of his connections.”Adriana was taken aback, as if struck by a bolt of lightning. “You’re part of the second generation?”Mark shrugged. “The achievements of the previous generation have nothing to do with me, and I don’t want to ride on their coattails. You don’t have to think of me as some privileged ‘second generation.’ I’m just an ordinary lawyer.”Adriana’s confusion deepened. If Mark was married, why was his second uncle so eager for him to have a girlfriend? she wondered. And why would Mark offer to help her when he had such good resources?“Lawyer Wilson,” Adriana said cautiously, “I hope you don’t mind me being direct—I’m not one f

After discussing the final details, Adriana said, “Mr. William, now that the case is over, our contract is automatically terminated. I hope you’ll consider me for future opportunities and provide your support when needed.”It was a polite and necessary remark, though Adriana had no real desire to work with Grand Empire again.William nodded in agreement, but his tone shifted. “Lawyer Clarke, do you know Judge Wilson?”He had teased her about her relationship with Mark before, and this time, Adriana remained nonchalant. “Sort of.”“What about a potential date?”Adriana thought to herself, Grand Empire’s executives seem addicted to gossip. She replied casually, “It’s nothing like that. We’re just getting to know each other.”William wasn’t convinced. Invited to a family dinner doesn’t sound like they’re just acquaintances.Back at Grand

Here we go again!Adriana grabbed her cell phone, and thinking it as Calvin, she flung it onto the sofa. It landed with a bang, disappearing into some crevice.Opening the door with a mix of frustration and resentment, Adriana kneed it for good measure, thinking, Either he goes, or she goes! One thing is for sure—this is the last time I’ll deal with this nonsense from him.“Mr. Calvin, may I ask what’s going on?” she said, her voice strained but polite. Yet, no amount of civility could mask the sharp undertone in her words.If words could take physical form, Adriana thought, her would probably be sharp enough to cut, like knives materialized in 3D.Calvin leaned spin the car keys with one hand, loosening his tie with the other. His handsome face was marred only by the undeniable air of arrogance that clung to him. The raw, untamed confidence in his demeanor was impossible to ignore. His desire to dominate, to control,

Who does she think she is? Why does she always talk to me like this? Calvin thought, his irritation barely concealed.Adriana, on the other hand, swore she had already used up all her patience while talking to him. If it weren’t for the politeness instilled in her since childhood, Calvin would’ve been greeted with a flying slipper instead of words.“Steamed sea bass, braised spare ribs, stir-fried crayfish, sliced meat in return pot, stir-fried pork with asparagus, and congee with snow clams. That’s all for now,” Adriana rattled off with a straight face.Calvin listened quietly, the corner of his mouth curving into a faint smile. “Adriana, are you deliberately picking a fight with me?”“How could I dare?” she replied mockingly. “Mr. Calvin is a chef, after all. Making simple soups and small dishes would be beneath your level. I’m just giving you a stage to showcase your skills. Don’t

Time seemed to stretch into an eternity before Calvin finally said, “Are you familiar with Mark Wilson?”Adriana immediately became cautious. Everything Calvin said lately felt like a trap, especially now that she had only recently learned about Mark’s true identity. “Is there something wrong?”Calvin narrowed his eyes. “Don’t answer questions with questions.”Adriana froze under the weight of his tone, her body stiffening from head to toe.But then, an idea struck her—a way to turn the tables. Mark had asked her to play a role to deceive the elders. Could she not use the same tactic here?“To be honest, I should thank you for assigning me this case,” she said, her tone light but pointed. “If not for you, I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet such an outstanding lawyer as Mark Wilson. Competition aside, we get along well. He’s upright, low-key, and gentle. I admire

Smelling the familiar, dangerous, about-to-break signal, Adriana’s heart raced with anxiety. “I will go to the bathroom first,” she said.However, Calvin tightened his grip on her shoulder, slightly pulling the corner of his lips into a smile. “Can’t you tell the difference between the internal urgency of thirst and others?”Adriana tried her best to find a reason to hurry away to avoid an unmanageable scene. Forcing herself to thicken her skin, she said, “I’ve taken a physiological hygiene class, and I know a fair amount about the structure of the human body. These two aren’t a channel.”Calvin lowered his eyes, smiling.When he smiled like that, Adriana’s scalp went numb, and her whole body tensed. “I am in a hurry. Please let me go first, okay?”Hearing her soft voice, Calvin finally let go of his grip.Adriana saw the opportunity and ran back to the bedroom in a flash.This time, she didn’t come out.The room was quiet for hours.Around three in the morning, Adriana woke from a ni

Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 315 It’s a fair trade. If she’s happy, I’m happy
Having lived among New York’s high society for a few years and come into contact with quite a few celebrities and aristocrats, Maria immediately asked, “Global Entertainment’s Ray William? Eastern William’s only son?”“That’s him.”Maria wasn’t sure what Adriana was up to this time, but her instincts told her it would be even more difficult than the last task. She couldn’t help but ask, “Do you have a personal grudge against him?”She remembered Ray was Calvin’s friend. Shouldn’t he be on good terms with Adriana? Then why did Adriana’s expression show such obvious dislike?Adriana never suspected others lightly, never used people carelessly, and never hid the truth from Maria. “He used despicable means to hurt my friend. But the real target… is me. It’s not that I hold a grudge—it’s that he’s prejudiced against me. And if I don’t strike first, he’s going to make his move soon.”Maria nodded instinctively as she listened. She was starting to believe Adriana’s words. Deep down, she felt
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 314 Fish cake
Calvin stood alone in the smoking area, lighting a cigarette and leaning against the parapet.He drew in a deep mouthful of smoke, letting it burn through his lungs.(The young madam even asked me to teach her how to make a fish cake... but it was hard for her. She was a true lady — ten fingers never touching spring water. She burned her fingers, blistered them, but never said a word about the pain.)Fish cakes — such a distant memory.If Emily hadn’t pried open that forgotten gate of memory, perhaps Calvin would never have remembered it again in his life.It had been late — well after 1:00 a.m. — when he returned to New York after a long inspection trip at the England branch.The living room was dimly lit by a single floor lamp.As he put down his luggage, he noticed Adriana curled up on the sofa, asleep.On the table beside her, a plate of fish cakes sat quietly, waiting for him.The next morning, as he passed the dining room, he spotted the plate again and frowned."Why didn’t you
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 313 Did she asked about me?
There was no need for Calvin to explicitly say anything; certain unspoken rules were already understood — Adriana knew them all.There was no point in going through the usual formalities again, not against someone like Darren, who couldn’t rise to the occasion.Calvin examined the clear light in her eyes and once again understood what Henry had meant when he said Adriana had changed.In the past, she wouldn't have shown such calmness; her gaze would not have carried the wisdom it held now."Keep your co-worker in check and don’t let her do anything reckless. But of course, if you want to use this chance to get rid of an inconvenient opponent, you can just let it slide."Adriana nodded. "I know what to do."The ambiguous tension between them slowly faded as the conversation unfolded. Calvin glanced around the room. "Rest early."He’s letting me off that easily? Adriana thought."Good night," she said, getting up to see him off, without the slightest intention of trying to make anything
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 312 Bite me
She had quite a bit of potential for uttering so many non-repetitive curse words in one night.Calvin caught her hand, not allowing her to leave.Then, right in front of her, he dialed a number.The call connected after just a few rings.“Mr. Walker? Wow, what an honor! What brings you to call me?” the voice on the other end said, half-joking.Calvin said coldly, “Contact Richard. Get him out of there — use whatever excuse you need.”The person on the other side didn’t dare to ask for details. “Yes, understood!”Calvin hung up and turned to look at Adriana, whose eyes were red with rage.“Aren’t you going to thank me?” he said lazily.Adriana tried to shake off his hand but couldn’t.“Calvin, you’re only making things more awkward between us. Please pay attention to boundaries…”Calvin leaned in and said lowly, “If I hadn’t watched my step tonight, you'd be lying on my bed right now, under me, crying for mercy.”Adriana’s face flared with anger.Without hesitation, she raised her foot
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 311
Last time, she had been half-proud of herself for bravely refusing to go home with Calvin — but she didn’t expect to be back here again, in the blink of an eye.Adriana scratched her hair in distress.“To be clear, I’m just borrowing the room,” she muttered.Calvin glanced at her miserable-looking face and said lazily, “I suggest you clean yourself up first. I won’t lay my hands on a female ghost — even if I’m horny.”Adriana rushed into the restroom, only then realizing how horrible she looked with half her makeup removed during the car ride.Come to think of it, Calvin had kept his cool the entire way — not even driving the car into the green belt.His psychological endurance was strong enough, she had to admit.The bathroom was fully stocked with toiletries.After showering, Adriana came out wrapped in a bathrobe, only to find Calvin on the balcony, making a call.He stood near the window, one hand in his pants pocket, his back straight and imposing.“Send someone to keep an eye on
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 310 Are you scaring me?
On what grounds?Because he was Calvin — a character you couldn’t afford to mess with, couldn’t afford to offend.Adriana wanted to answer for him, believing, you don't have a second choice.But Calvin’s actual response was more official and impossible to refuse: “Believe it or not, it’s up to you!”His desire to catch him worked. After a brief moment weighing his options, Darren engaged in a more thorough conversation with Calvin, roughly covering how to help him clean up his act, as well as the cooperation that would follow.The matter was negotiated without Calvin needing to mobilize a single soldier.Darren cheerfully took the initiative to toast, saying, “Since we’re partners now, can you tell us your name?”Calvin didn’t touch his wine glass. “Next time, I’ll naturally let you know.”Kevin crossed over and spoke to Darren: “Mr. Darren, waiting for your good news in three days!”Richard and Liam looked at each other in dismay. Darren was normally a cautious man; otherwise, his bu
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 309 A truly ruthless person never shows it on the surface
Darren was an unfamiliar name to Adriana.But Calvin wouldn't mention someone unrelated for no reason.After thinking for two seconds, Adriana understood: this man, Darren, who hadn't shown his face until now, was probably Scar’s big brother.Scar himself didn’t even know what his Big Brother’s real name was — so how did Calvin just point it out directly?Richard’s face shifted from green to white, little by little.He felt that the worst kind of situation was about to happen.This strange man seemed to know far more about them than he should.And the more this became apparent, the more Richard dared not be careless.He forced a smile and tried to stall: "Darren? Which Darren is Brother referring to?"Not only Richard — even Liam, who was nearly drunk, and Austin Mark, still dizzy from slamming into the wall, were staring at Calvin warily.With their connections in New York City, most powerful people at least had recognizable faces.But this man — no one had any information on him at
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 308 If you don’t know how to drink, then you can learn
Mina’s eyes could see six ways at once; she thought tonight felt unusual. She didn’t know who he was, but she knew she had to serve people because of Liam. If anything went wrong, Darren’s business could be soaked, so she smiled carefully."Two brothers, if there's something to say, let’s say it properly. Roughness can scare people off, you know."Kevin’s skin practically crawled from her flattery, and he snapped, "None of your business."Mina smiled softly and picked up a glass of wine. "Handsome, don’t be angry. Why don’t I have a drink with you?"She drank it all in one go, tilting the glass upside down to show not a single drop remained. "Satisfied, handsome?"Kevin said coldly, "Not satisfied."Mina blushed profusely, tugging awkwardly at the corner of her mouth. "Then, what would satisfy the handsome man?"Kevin kept a stern face and said nothing.Mina circled around the table and half-squatted down, trying to tap Calvin’s leg, but he dodged her with a disgusted look, as if a sl
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 307 If you’re scared, close your eyes, if not, watch closely
Calvin’s cold and clear presence stood out starkly in the room—like a noble eagle trapped among vultures. From the moment he sat down, the atmosphere shifted. It was as if this seedy box suddenly became a royal court, simply because he was in it.Adriana had to admit, deep down, that sometimes it wasn’t the place that mattered—it was the people who entered it.Calvin turned to the man and asked flatly, “Tell me, what kind of dog are you?”“Damn it! Did you just insult me?”Furious, the man raised the wine bottle and swung it toward Calvin’s face.Crash!With a smooth backhand, Calvin caught the bottle mid-air—and in the next second, red liquid flowed down the man’s head. It was a mixture of wine and blood, trailing from the broken shards that remained.The man stood frozen in place, stunned. He clearly hadn’t expected anyone would dare lay a hand on him.&l
