Getting a hit from George wasn't that bad, as after that day, Calvin didn’t come to look for her, and she had a few peaceful days.

Adriana went to the law firm as usual, looked at the case file, set the date for court, and met the defendant’s lawyer.

As expected, Calvin didn’t appear in court himself but sent the head of the technical department of Grand Empire. The man in front of her was in his forties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a formal suit, exuding a noble aura.

It was probably the corporate culture of the Grand Empire, as even the few staff sitting in the audience had a noble temperament.

According to Calvin’s request, the Grand Empire asked the other party to pay a compensation of $2 million. This figure was much higher than the previous similar lawsuits, so it was rejected.

However, Adriana had expected that.

After the court, Adriana and the executive briefly chatted. The main reason was that she wanted him to talk to Calvin. If the compensation claim were reduced to the

    Five Years LaterParis, FranceA black Rolls-Royce eased to a stop in front of an elegant apartment building.As the rear window lowered, the sharp planes of a man’s face emerged—dark brown eyes, sword-straight brows, a jaw carved from ice.It was Calvin.It had taken him five long years to reach this street.The day Adriana left, he had wanted to follow her immediately.But fate intervened. A catastrophic explosion ripped through the New Jersey construction site he was inspecting, leaving him in a coma for three years. Recovery demanded another grueling six months.While Calvin lay unconscious, the world he built began to splinter. George, already frail, assumed control of GE Group, but the shock of Calvin’s accident shattered his health and clouded his memory. Peter’s blunders worsened the chaos, and his demotion to CEO’s assistant fueled his resentment.Peter allied himself with Anna—newly returned from Korea after a plastic surgery transformation—and together they plotted a marria

    He even recalled the first time he met Adriana.Back then, she wore a white dress, light and lively, her sweet smile tinged with flattery. She deliberately drew near him, yet timidly avoided his notice. But every time he turned to look, those moist eyes were fixed on him.He remembered their wedding six years ago, when she skipped happily, arm hooked through his, radiant as if she possessed the entire world.He remembered the day of their divorce three years ago, when she stared at him unblinkingly, asking, word by word, “Did you... truly never love me?”He remembered encountering her again just months ago. Back then, his heart was filled with hatred, with resentment.She had lain half-naked with another man in bed, cuckolding him, yet denied everything with lies. She colluded with her father and older brother to embezzle over sixty billion yuan from GE’s subsidiary, causing losses exceeding two hundred billion yuan. GE’s stock price plummeted by 0.2 percentage points, and he was impe

    Soon, Calvin’s car arrived at S&S Law Firm.Without announcing himself at the front desk, he barged straight into Mark’s office.Mark was assigning tasks to Jessica when he saw Calvin, radiating a murderous aura. He paused slightly, then said with forced calm, “Calvin…”“Thud!”Calvin’s fist struck out—fast and vicious—knocking Mark flat on the floor.His body radiated a fierce intensity. Bloodshot, weary eyes fixed on Mark, who was propping himself on one knee. Calvin grabbed his arm. “Where is she?”Mark glanced at Jessica. “Go out first. Don’t let anyone else in.”She froze, stunned. Who was this stranger? He had come in and immediately started throwing punches—how rude!But even in the face of such danger, she couldn’t help but notice his handsomeness. Tall, straight-backed, features sculpted, and an aura that rivaled Mark’s entirely.“Get out!” Mark snapped again. Jessica snapped back to her senses and hurried away, clutching her pounding heart.Mark seized Calvin’s wrist and twi

    Inside the aircraft, Davis Wilson held a military newspaper when he looked up and saw his son and Adriana.Standing side by side, smiling, they looked at first glance like a couple deeply in love.He recalled his younger brother’s words: “Big brother, Adriana is a perfect match for Mark! If he misses out, he will regret it for the rest of his life.”After his daughter-in-law’s unexpected death, the family had introduced countless potential partners to Mark, but he consistently refused. Even when he reluctantly tried, Peace disliked the new aunt, crying and unhappy. Adriana, however, possessed an inexplicable charm that endeared her to both his son and granddaughter.Just the other day, Peace had thrown a tantrum at home, demanding to call the lovely Aunt Clarke.But Davis had secretly investigated Adriana’s family background. It was simply incompatible with the Wilson family. Could his son suffer another heartbreak? He hadn’t revealed Adriana’s true identity, hoping Mark would give up

    After finalizing her departure date, Adriana packed only the essentials.There wasn’t much to take. She couldn’t return to her apartment for the rest, so she simply asked Aidan to move her things out.“Did you contact my brother?” she asked.Aidan stayed tense, his voice edged with bitterness. “I did. I told him you’re heading to France in a couple of days. Family together is the whole world. There’s nothing to fear anymore.”Adriana rested her chin on her hand, her eyes dreamy. “No matter how old I get, I always want to be with Mom and Dad. Aidan, maybe you should spend some time with Uncle and Aunt, too.”“Fine, I’ll go on the blind date. It won’t kill me.” He hesitated, then blurted, “Calvin has practically dug up the entire city looking for you these past few days. He’s bombarded Snow and me with calls. Plainclothes security are stationed at the law firm every day. I even snuck by your family home—it’s crawling with his people. Wherever you are right now, he’d find you within thre

    Stella sneered coldly. “Of course he wasn’t. He was too busy!”Who knew which woman’s arms her “dear husband” had been curled up in that night!Calvin’s lips twitched numbly. “I won’t disturb your rest. I’m leaving.”With that, he turned and left.Perhaps, he thought, the reason he didn’t know how to love someone was because he had never witnessed true affection.His parents had been a cautionary tale for more than two decades—a daily performance of superficial harmony, each wearing a thick mask.They clung to each other for the sake of convenience and shared interests.Neither was happy, yet neither would let go.He had never believed in lasting, pure marriages; to him, they were nothing more than alliances of mutual benefit.Stepping out of the villa compound, Calvin immersed himself in the boundless night.He had to find Adriana. He needed to explain everything that had happened that day, to apologize, to tell her that all the past mistakes were entirely his own.But after a night
