Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 200 I believe everything you say
After an unhappy breakup with Calvin, Adriana contacted Grand Empire’s Legal Department to discuss the final prosecution agreement and then confirmed the flight time with the secretary.It was the day after tomorrow.In light of this, the criminal proceedings in her hands would have to be handed over to someone else.Towards the end of the day, Carson called her over the intercom. “Come to my office.”His cold tone made it sound as if she owed him tens of millions.Adriana adjusted her mindset and, with several pairs of eyes on her, knocked on Carson’s office door. She could feel people watching her, their gazes full of gossip.“Come in.”Adriana did as she was told, and then she heard him say, “Close the door.”As she shut the door, she deliberately paid attention to the movement outside. Everyone appeared to be working seriously, as if they hadn’t noticed her at all.What good actors, she thought.Carson, holding a printed document in his hand, tapped it on the table. “They stayed u

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

Adriana understood now. So he was a university professor—no wonder the abstinence theory wasn’t surprising.“Deputy Director Carson took the initiative to contact him, didn’t he?”Otherwise, how would the case have been handed over?Aidan put down his hand and looked at the woman behind the pile of documents with a penetrating gaze. “Adriana, did you and Carson reach some kind of agreement that you can’t say out loud? That guy has a neck as stiff as a toilet seat. I’ve known him for more than ten years, and I’ve never seen him voluntarily lower his head.”Under his sharp stare, Adriana felt slightly guilty. She flipped through the file and replied, “Deputy Director Carson isn’t a three-year-old child. Can he really afford to bring personal emotions into work?”“Forget it! With his temper… Never mind his past nonsense. But even though he contacted Sebastian, Sebastian still doesn’t want to take the case.”Adriana was worried about causing trouble for the law firm. If no one took over t

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

Looking at the emoji, Calvin’s subconscious mind associated it with a head. Since ancient times, a man’s head had not been freely touched by the opposite sex.What was Adriana thinking? After their unhappy parting during the day, had she gone back and reflected on her words and actions, finally realizing her mistake? Or was she simply too embarrassed to admit her fault to him?Heh!Anaya had no idea what her brother was thinking as he stared at his phone motionlessly, his expression focused, a hint of soft light in his eyes.Calvin put down his phone and said flatly, “What time does it end?”Anaya pouted unhappily. “It’s only just started, and you’re already asking when it ends? You’re such a buzzkill! There are so many games we haven’t played yet. Besides, this is my first party since coming back to the country, and I’m not going home until I’ve had a good time.”Calvin glanced at his wristwatch—it was 10 o’clock. Given Anaya’s playful temperament, they wouldn’t be leaving before two

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

The warmth of his hand brushed against the skin of her arm, and after a brief moment of tension, an awkwardness settled between them. Adriana instinctively twisted her arm, pulling away from his protective stance.Calvin’s sense of loss was fleeting—so subtle it was almost imperceptible. He furrowed his thick brows and asked, “Aren’t you afraid? Go wait over there.”Afraid? Of course, she was afraid. But Adriana wanted to see for herself how the cockroach would be dealt with. After all, Calvin wouldn’t be here to kill them every day. If another one appeared, wouldn’t she have to face it alone?“I’m fine. They… at least don’t bite.”Calvin glanced at her pursed lips and the way she shrank back slightly. He seemed to guess what she was thinking. Tilting his head slightly, he said, “Move back in. You won’t have to deal with things like this.”Adriana ignored his words and urged in a dry voice, “Hurry up and find it. It’s still in the house, probably hiding in a corner.”“Aren’t you suppo

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.

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
