Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 160 Showing off
Adriana was in the United Kingdom for university when she began following her professor to participate in financial litigation cases. At the time, she wasn’t qualified to take the lawyer’s seat and could only observe the battles unfold in court.Her mentor was a renowned legal scholar from Cornell and an authentic Brit. Though he ultimately won the case, the process was fraught with difficulty, as the opposing lawyer, Carson, was both cunning and resourceful.Carson was a master tactician with ample connections and a flair for theatrics in the courtroom. Like a performance artist, he stirred emotions to gain the jury’s sympathy. If not for the strong evidence in the mentor’s favor, even he might have lost to Carson’s skillful maneuvers.After the case concluded, Carson approached Professor Johnson.“Hello, Professor Johnson. I’ve admired your reputation for quite some time. It’s an honor to finally compete with you on the same field. Your defense was extraordinary. I truly admire it!”

“Miss Clarke, hello again!” Carson greeted her at just the right moment. From the moment he entered the room, his eyes had been drawn to Adriana. Under the soft glow of the lamp, she exuded a natural, effortless beauty—bright, clear, and striking without the need for embellishments.His use of the word again subtly shifted the lively atmosphere into something more tense, almost unsettling.Jessica, already irritated by the earlier exchanges, immediately leaned closer to Carson, holding onto his arm with deliberate possessiveness. “You two know each other?” she asked, her tone laced with suspicion.Adriana, wary of Carson’s potential for mischief, was about to answer when he spoke first. “Yes, we met briefly in the United Kingdom. Miss Clarke left a deep impression—her professor, Johnson, is quite the legend in financial litigation.”Adriana, determined to keep the conversation light, took a step closer to Mona and replied casually, “Lawyer Carson has such a remarkable memory. If you h

Yes, she could call herself his lover, but in truth, she was nothing more than a convenient, long-term bed companion. She had never truly entered Carson’s heart.Carson had made this painfully clear early on: “If you’re with me, I’ll give you whatever you want. But don’t expect me to be single-minded, and don’t even think about marrying into the Collen family.”Despite this, Jessica wasn’t willing to give up. She believed that with enough time, effort, and deeper feelings, she could eventually win Carson over and become irreplaceable.She had been careful and patient, biding her time and putting in painstaking effort. She thought she was finally close to achieving her goal…Snap!Jessica dropped her wine glass in frustration, her hand trembling uncontrollably.“Adriana’s heart is too deep,” she muttered bitterly. “She acts like she’s above everything, like she doesn’t fight for anything. But in reality, she’s secretly taking it all!”Selena gritted her teeth and cast a sharp glance to

At the end of the awards ceremony, Adriana held a delicate crystal trophy in her hands. “Aidan, thank you!”Aidan, looking like an old father marrying off his daughter, was on the verge of tears, his emotions overflowing. “You… you! Why pretend to be clueless when you were so well prepared?”Adriana tilted her head and pouted. “I wanted to surprise you too!”Aidan let out a defeated sigh. “Fine, fine. Whatever you say. You always have an excuse.”Mona’s starry eyes practically sparkled with admiration. “Master, I now officially announce that you and Lawyer Clarke are tied for first place!”Adriana playfully tapped the bridge of Mona’s nose. “Didn’t you say that Mark wasn’t a good person, that he was too calculating?”Mona cupped her small hands around her cheeks, blinking mischievously. “Well… when it comes to his promotion, a

Cold fronts, as sharp as blades, cut through the thick night, and beneath the moonlight, the man’s eyes were colder than steel.His face was clear and emotionless, revealing neither joy nor anger. Yet, the plummeting temperature around him silently warned that he was in no good mood.Adriana was momentarily stunned.How did Calvin end up here? she thought.Was he one of the guests tonight? No, if the head of Grand Empire had been invited, the news would have spread like wildfire at the law firm.Was it just a coincidence?True, this place was home to many powerful tycoons, and the environment was beautiful. But in the middle of the night, Calvin hardly seemed like someone who would be out for a leisurely stroll.Before she could think further, a firm grip wrapped around her arm.With ease, Calvin pulled her out of Carson’s hold, yanking her back. Yet, it wasn’t just an act of pulling her away—his own bod

After the burst of extreme speed, the hostility in Calvin’s body eased slightly, allowing him to finally look calmly at the pale woman in the passenger seat.(To verify if you love her or not will only takes one move.)(How do you feel when she’s with another man? If you’re angry, anxious, and pissed off, then, my friend, congratulations—I am afraid, you’ve been in love with her for a long time.)Suddenly the method given by Henry came into his mind.Calvin hadn’t wanted to try it, but instead of endlessly guessing and dwelling on it, he felt that wasn’t it better to seek a definitive answer?Thus, once again, he lost himself in thought and allowed Kevin to inquire about Adriana’s whereabouts that night.As he drove, his mind replayed the past. His six-year feud with Adriana had long since swallowed up anything resembling love. That so-called love—already on the verge of extinction—

Calvin bent down to step out of the car, then locked the door behind him.Adriana was flabbergasted. She slapped the car door furiously.“Calvin! What are you doing? Open the door for me!”She took two steps back, then returned, rolling the window down just a crack to let in some air. The door remained locked.“Stubborn, huh? Good. Keep being stubborn,” she muttered.A wave of fear crept in. She knew Calvin was perfectly capable of doing something this absurd—locking her in the car overnight to make her reflect.“Calvin! Come back! Do you hear me? This is illegal imprisonment! Calvin!”His footsteps remained steady, quick, until he disappeared into the lift entrance.Adriana was so angry she collapsed weakly against the passenger seat, frustration twisting inside her.He always had a way of humiliating people.****Meanwhile, the lift shot straight to the top floor.

Calvin’s mother, who had never been impressed with Adriana and looked down on the Clarke family, immediately demanded that the wedding be called off.Desperate, Adriana had begged her father to donate a large sum of money to the temple, hoping to persuade a senior monk to break the so-called curse.The old monk hesitated, his expression troubled, as if altering fate itself was an impossible task. He spoke in riddles, his words elusive and difficult to grasp. But in the end, he told her:"Girl, if you truly wish to marry him… it may lead to death. You must think carefully."He never revealed a way to break the curse.And what happened afterward proved his warning true.As Calvin secured the final wrap of the bandage, his gaze darkened with anger."Adriana, you’ve studied for so many years, even gone abroad for further education, and yet you still believe in this feudal superstition?"Adriana’s moist eyes shimmered, her lips curving into a fragile, almost mechanical smile."You still ho

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? Then maybe Grandpa gave you a
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 303 Calvin and I can only be friends
A knowing line officially opened the topic of the day.At that moment, both Peter and Leon fell silent—this was not a cold arrow they were prepared to receive.Peter’s peripheral gaze landed on Calvin, who calmly said, “Stocks go up and down all the time. Grandpa has been in the business world most of his life and understands the laws of the market better than I do.”“Don’t blame the market for a malignant result caused by individual behavior. Do you think I don’t watch the news? Or do you think I’m deaf?”The statement was serious, and instantly, the atmosphere in the garden dropped to freezing. Peter and Leon held their breath in unison, not daring to make a sound.Calvin remained calm and composed. “What did Grandpa hear?”George let out a cold grunt, his frowning brows folding into deep, angry lines. His sharp eyes seemed to carry blades.“I haven’t been
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 302 It was a test
If a man cheats on his wife during the marriage, it’s considered a serious breach of marital obligations. The woman can hold him legally accountable, and in the event of a divorce, she may not only receive financial compensation but also have an advantage in gaining custody of the children.Adriana said calmly, “Special circumstances can certainly turn things around.”Jessica curled the corner of her mouth into a smirk. “I’ll find out.”The marriages of successful men often carried the shadow of extramarital affairs. If the defendant’s private misconduct could be uncovered, it would be in the plaintiff’s best interest to investigate thoroughly.After thinking for a moment, Jessica softened her tone and smiled. “Lawyer Clarke, thank you for being willing to help. I thought you didn’t want to get involved.”Adriana replied, “Work and personal life shouldn’t be mixed. And I&

“Thank you for the invitation, but today is obviously not suitable for a door-to-door visit. I’ll treat you to dinner another day as a thank-you for your frequent help over the past two days, whether it’s rare for you or not.”Adriana didn’t give Calvin a chance to respond. Today, she would not set foot in his house again—no matter what.A man and a woman in a closed space—it was easy to make irrational decisions, especially for a woman. The atmosphere could quickly lead to something impulsive. And besides, she wasn’t entirely immune to Calvin’s charm.Calvin stood calmly outside the car door, noting the resistance in her eyes.“Very well. I’ll wait for Lawyer Clarke’s thank-you banquet!”He was testing Adriana’s boundaries little by little, figuring out how to get along with her.The corner of Adriana’s mouth twitched into a polite smile. “Goodbye.”Turning the car around, Adriana gripped the steering wheel. The open window let in fresh air, and the sunlight warmed her face. The most

“Huh?”Kevin thought he’d misheard. “Green Lake Village? The village you went to yesterday, President?”“Yes,” Calvin replied. “Especially the house on the hill—Tony’s place. Fix it up for the old woman. Send some furniture and get everything properly arranged. You can take care of the details.”Adriana glanced at his serious profile as he focused on driving. Her earlier embarrassment vanished in an instant, and her heart gave a subtle flutter.Kevin’s brain short-circuited for a second, then quickly caught up. “Understood, President. I’ll contact a construction team and arrange everything on site.”The call ended, and the car fell silent again.Adriana touched the bridge of her nose. “Um, I’ll thank you on their behalf.”Calvin chuckled. “Is the next thing you’re going to say, ‘You’re a good person’?”Well… that was almost exactly what she was about to say. But saying something like that now? With everything going on? It felt… a bit out of place.Calvin added, “You can say anything y
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 299 An awkward situation
Calvin looked at her as she instinctively reached out, her slender fingers curling with tension, knuckles protruding from the force.“Lawyer Clarke,” he said, “if you want something, just say it straight. There’s no need for adults to play games.”Adriana awkwardly lowered her head and cleared her throat. “Calvin, please watch your words. Can you not always say things that make people misunderstand? Like this morning, and just now—what exactly did you mean? Is there nothing else in your head besides that?”Calvin responded casually, “Which sentence did you misunderstand? Misunderstand what? Lawyer Clarke, please be specific. Maybe I’ll consider changing.”Adriana clenched her teeth and rolled her eyes at him, but couldn’t bring herself to explain further. “In short, it’s uncomfortable to hear.”When they found the car, Adriana was ready to hop into the driver’s seat, but Calvin pulled her toward the opposite side and shoved her gently into the passenger seat.“Be honest—sit. I’ll driv
