Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife 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

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

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

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

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

After taking a shower and coming out of the bathroom, Calvin looked at the opposite building again. It was still dark, and it didn’t seem like anyone had returned.Over the past two days, he had been sleeping a little better than before. Last night, Calvin slept for more than five hours, which was already a huge improvement compared to the past. Determined to maintain this good habit, Calvin decided on the mantra: out of sight, out of mind.After adjusting the telescope to a different direction, he lay down to brew some sleep.Calvin tried to close his eyes and rest his mind. He attempted to empty his brain and meditate, cycling through all the hypnotic techniques Rose had taught him.But by two or three in the morning, his eyes snapped open again.His mind was so clear that he could recite fifty digits of pi. If he were to take the college entrance exam right now, he thought, a perfect math score wouldn’t be an issue.Getting ou

That’s not the point. The point is, digging into this won’t be far from Calvin, Adriana thought. Not to mention, Kevin doesn’t even match the guy in the photo.Calvin trusted Kevin completely.After a moment of consideration, Adriana said, “Public opinion hasn’t fully erupted yet. First, handle the public relations to minimize the impact. Then have the PR and legal teams contact the woman. There’s likely someone supporting her from behind the scenes—she doesn’t seem bold enough to pull this off alone.”Kevin wanted to tell her that the president had already given these orders and they were being carried out, but instead, he simply replied, “Understood. Also, since you’re a key witness, may I trouble you to come to Grand Empire? Our legal department would like to discuss the situation with you in detail and decide on the best approach.”Adriana had no reason to refuse. “Okay, I’ll head over as soon as possible.”Snow appeared from her room, rubbing her head. She saw Adriana hurriedly w

Calvin’s face was dark, a storm cloud hovering over him, ready to erupt at any moment. “At your age, you should have graduated from kindergarten long ago. So, why do you still think like a naïve five- or six-year-old child? Do you really think you can resolve this matter by writing a simple text statement? If it were that easy, wouldn’t lawyers be out of a job?”Adriana felt frustrated and disheartened. She had offered her opinion from a professional perspective, yet not only did Calvin dismiss it, but he also hit back with biting sarcasm. Thankfully, there were no outsiders in the office to witness the scene. She refused to back down. “You’re questioning my professionalism, which means you must have a better plan. So, what’s your solution?”Kevin stood stiffly by the door, like a soldier bracing for a storm. He feared being caught in the crossfire, the fallout enough to ruin his day.Calvin pulled out a document and slammed it onto the table. “This is the indictment prepared by the l

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

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

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

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

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

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

Adriana hurriedly stood up, letting Richard's arms miss her as she fled to the song selection table. She quickly picked a song she was already tired of hearing herself.The prelude began. Adriana sat on a high stool as the disorienting lights flickered and danced, casting her features in shifting patterns of light and shadow. In the haze, her face became half-hidden, half-revealed—mysterious and luminous.As the song started, the room fell silent.Mina, holding her glass of wine, joined a few men in turning their attention to the small stage.There, in the corner, sat a woman like a frightened deer—yet somehow too mesmerizing to be real.Where did she come from?Was she just trying to help out a newcomer, or had she accidentally brought in a job-stealing troublemaker?Fortunately, that lecherous Darren Venzor wasn’t around tonight. If he had been, he would’ve already been seduced by that little fox.Adriana sang with her lips,

Interesting. Things were getting more and more intriguing.If she could catch evidence of Richard cheating, she could kill two birds with one stone today.“Good… Good!”Adriana’s red lips curved into a subtle smile, though no one could see the sharp calculation flickering beneath her eyes. She extended her long, slender legs. Her clothes weren’t particularly revealing, but her confident stride and graceful movements hinted at an understated allure.It wasn’t delicate, but it was undeniably captivating.Richard smiled, his eyebrows raised, and patted the seat beside him. “Sit next to me!”The woman on his lap let out a reluctant grunt and clung to his neck. “Richard, don’t you love me anymore?”Richard slid his hand along her leg and said, “Be good. Wait for me.”Obediently, the woman moved to the side, vacating the seat, and shot Adriana a venomous glare.Adriana leaned over and sat down, still catching her breath, when

A few moments later, Anna wiped her tears and walked out of the parlor—no one came to see her off.Leon spotted her first. “Brother, Anna’s here!”“Sit tight. I’m going out.”Peter got up quickly and followed her, gently offering a handkerchief.Anna kept her head down as she walked, not looking around. Suddenly, the appearance of a handkerchief and a dark figure startled her—she mistook it for Calvin and instinctively smiled,“Calv—”She stopped mid-word, realizing it wasn’t him.“Peter?”Peter stood there with his arms folded, his black suit crisp and sharp. A faint smile played on his lips; he looked like a knight in polished armor.“Did Calvin bully you? I’ll straighten him out if he did.”Anna clutched the handkerchief, shaking her head. “No…”“Oh?
