“Such a coincidence.”

She had just been kicked out of the car and randomly picked this small restaurant to grab a meal. She hadn’t expected to run into Mark here.

Mark flashed a full-toothed smile. He seemed completely at ease, as though this were all perfectly natural. He unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, hung his suit jacket over the back of the chair, and sat down smoothly — making himself at home without feeling the slightest bit out of place.

His movements were fluid and practiced, the kind that could only come from doing this often.

“My office is nearby. Haven’t you been here before?”

Adriana glanced outside and finally took in her surroundings. The nearby high-rise buildings stood tall, and not far away, she spotted a sleek office building with Sterling & Stone prominently displayed on the façade.

Those two words — Sterling & Stone — were names Adriana had long been familiar with. She knew roughly where the firm was located, but with everything on her mind today, she hadn

    “I’m just looking at it from an outsider’s perspective. And of course, as the plaintiff’s attorneys, it’s not our job to determine what’s true or false. Our job is to achieve our client’s goals—to do whatever we can to secure a victory for Crown Group.”Yes. It was a lawyer’s duty to gather every possible piece of evidence to support their client’s position, whether that position was absolutely correct or not.Adriana curled her slender fingers tightly and let out a soft, cold laugh. “That’s right. I’m going to do everything I can to ensure Crown Group triumphs—and make Grand Empire bow their heads and apologize.”Calvin may have played tricks to win the case, but she could fight back using her own methods.It wasn’t yet certain who would get the last laugh.Aidan opened his mouth to respond, but his phone rang. He glanced at the screen and smiled

  • Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 471 Have you been brainwashed by Marshal’s testimony?

    The news of Adriana’s defeat spread like wildfire through the industry, quickly circulating to the pantries of law firms everywhere.The hottest chatter, of course, was at Justice.This even led Aidan to personally barge into the pantry, reprimanding his staff on the spot.“What the hell is this? Drinking company tea and eating company snacks during office hours, and throwing a party in your own backyard?!”At his roar, the group scattered like startled birds and beasts.Just then, Mona burst into his office, her face flushed with urgency. “Brother—”Aidan’s face darkened. “What did you just call me?”Mona immediately corrected herself. “Director… my master lost too unjustly! Grand Empire fabricated everything with strong words and intimidation!”“Do you have any evidence to refute them?”“I… don’t have it right now.”“Then what’s the point of talking to me without evidence? Get the hell out there and find some!”Mona was chastised harshly, but unlike the others—who would have been to

    Calvin looked down at her stiff body. She stared coldly at the door, refusing to give him even a single glance—perhaps too disappointed to speak to him anymore.“I’m equally sorry that someone in the Crown Group is ill, especially the youngest one. The child is still unborn. I don’t want this tragedy to happen any more than you do. But since the damage is already done, all we can do now is try our best to make amends. I’ll allocate some funds from the Grand Empire’s Charitable Foundation—”“No need.” Adriana shrugged off his arm. “Doing something wrong and then trying to fix it with money? That kind of conscience-buying… I suggest you save it.”What’s the difference between this and a corrupt official who donates stolen money to temples or struggling schools?Not out of kindness, but out of guilt and fear of divine punishment.As if doing one good deed with dirty money could buy off the gods and keep you safe from their wrath.Ridiculous! What kind of god would forgive someone for the

    “How dare you drive that fast in a new car? Are you even familiar with it? Aren’t you afraid of getting into an accident? Are you stupid?”The corner of Adriana’s mouth curved into a faint sneer. “You don’t need to worry about that.”Calvin put down his signing pen and looked at her across the president’s desk. “I heard about the trial. I know you’re not satisfied with the result.”Heh!How could he say that so calmly?Adriana opened her briefcase and dumped out a stack of documents—piles of evidence spilling across the desk. “Calvin, are you really this indifferent? To win, you’re willing to turn black into white, ignore the truth—do you not feel even the slightest bit of guilt?”Calvin maintained his usual composed demeanor. He had expected her to be disappointed, even furious, but from where he stood, the lawsuit was already settled.If Blue Star admitted to any wrongdoing, their reputation would be in ruins, and over three hundred partner companies they worked with would suffer de

  • Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 468 Master, is there really justice in the world?

    The court reconvened, but things didn’t get any better. Marshal’s words weren’t as sharp this time—they came out more like a mouthful mutter.However, that didn’t change the fact that she lost the case.As a result of the first trial, all of Crown Group’s claims were dismissed. Unsurprisingly, Blue Star Technology would soon file a retaliatory petition against Crown Group, demanding compensation for reputational damage, litigation costs, lost wages, and various other expenses.When that happened, Crown Group would lose a significant amount of money.Everyone else in the courtroom had already left, but Adriana still sat in her chair in a daze, staring at the bright red flag and golden badge directly in front of her.For a moment, she felt a surge of doubt— Where was this so‑called justice?Do the disadvantaged really have a chance to win it?“Master?”Mona, noticing Adriana wasn’t moving, called out to her worriedly.Adriana asked quietly, “I didn’t perform well today. Do you regret ta

  • Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 467 Seemingly fair world

    Although the case of Blue Star Technology involves two large groups, there are people applying pressure behind the scenes, so the news has not been exposed. The outside world has no idea about the stalemate currently unfolding in court.Standing at the plaintiff’s table, Adriana unfolded the dossier and looked at the bland-faced Marshal. She had to admit, at this moment, she admired him a little. Only years of actual combat could polish that unique confidence and intimidating presence—he didn’t even need to say a word; his very demeanor projected a powerful threat.The gavel fell, and the parties began their presentations.At first, the proceedings felt routine, no different from countless cases before. But less than twenty minutes in, Adriana began to sense something was wrong. Marshal seemed to know all her defense strategies in advance, as if he could anticipate every argument she was about to make. Each time, he countered her with precise suppression and then proposed a revised cl
