Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 203 Adriana sent him a Emoji
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. A mes

Last night, Calvin moved closer to her ear with a tingling touch. Could it have been a kiss? She didn’t notice anything unusual when she washed up in the morning, nothing behind her ears, just in the blind spot of her vision.“You’re looking at it all wrong. It could just be allergies.”Jenny’s workstation was also in the hall. Now and then, she didn’t listen to Selena’s discussion, but Aidan had strictly reminded everyone not to engage in gossip in the law firm. As the senior member of the firm and Aidan’s most capable assistant, she had always followed his rules. Today, seeing the evidence of the crime on Adriana's body, she only dared to ask a few questions.“Lawyer Clarke, don’t be embarrassed. Your boyfriend sent you a bouquet of flowers a few days ago. He seems to be quite attentive. You’re not living together, are you?”Adriana coughed, “Secretary Jenny, Director Aiden is looking for you.”A slender figure in black walked outside the door, but it wasn’t Aidan. The low, furious

Including Marshal, they all expected Adriana to lose control when she heard the news—or at the very least, for her expression to turn ugly. However, she simply smiled graciously, as if she didn’t take it seriously at all.“It seems that the president has a private jet, so why doesn’t he fly there directly? How is this related to our itinerary?”For an ordinary woman, shouldn’t her first reaction be to question the relationship between Calvin and Anna? Why was she focused on the means of transportation instead?Marshal’s gaze shifted before he chuckled. “Oh, that? We’re not sure about the president’s arrangements. Perhaps he has his own reasons.”Adriana didn’t press for details and maintained her composed smile. “That’s right. How could a subordinate possibly guess the leader’s intentions? Minister Marshal, let’s head to the meeting.”Marshal’s smile remained unreadable. “Okay, let’s go to the meeting.”Walking beside them, Anderson struggled to suppress his irritation. Was Adriana me

There was only one person in the office—Calvin—and no sign of Anna.One gone, and the next summoned. Who could beat Calvin in shamelessness?Adriana couldn't help but sneer. “President, what are your instructions?”Calvin had no idea what was going through her mind. He only noticed the impatience in her expression. Leaning back in his chair, he met her gaze with a distant look. “Lawyer Clarke, are you in a bad mood?”Adriana remained standing across from him, unwilling to sit. The less time she spent here, the better. “Personal emotions shouldn’t interfere with work. I remember your reminder well. President, you might as well get straight to the point.”Calvin frowned slightly, noticing the exhaustion beneath her eyes. His tone was neutral as he spoke. “Did my words from yesterday push you to burn the midnight oil, striving for excellence? Geniuses aren’t made overnight.”Adriana couldn’t tell what he meant—was it concern, mockery, or a lecture?“There’s a lot of information in the ca

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

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

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
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 298 The Little Prince
Calvin’s identity couldn’t be exposed. Once everyone knew he was the president of Grand Empire—the young master of the Walker family—wouldn’t that cause chaos?That was Adriana’s first reaction.Before she could speak, her body had already moved. She stepped in front of Calvin in a flash, blocking him protectively, and said calmly, “I am his personal lawyer. If there are any problems, I’ll handle them.”Calvin looked at Adriana. She was a bit disheveled, but still stunningly beautiful. This wasn’t something they had discussed in advance, and yet she had reacted purely on instinct. If he couldn’t see that she cared, then he wouldn’t be Calvin.A faint smile tugged at his lips, like the first rays of a new sun piercing through the morning mist—just enough to gently light up the dull earth around them.The local cops weren’t used to handling major cases. They hadn’t dealt with many lawyers before, so they didn’t question it much in the moment. Adriana skillfully shifted the focus, removi

She shouldn’t have zoned out on such a special day. Adriana skipped over the topic and looked up at the round patch of sky above her head. “Why hasn’t anyone come yet?”Calvin replied, “The nearest police station is in town. With their efficiency, we’ll be lucky if they arrive before dawn.”Adriana sighed, "Yeah... there are just some things you have to know and accept."“Are you just going to stand there? Planning to turn into a statue?”She patted the dirt next to her, then thought better of it and pulled some hay over to make a rough cushion. “Don’t be shy, big brother. Sit down. Who knows how long we’ll be stuck here?”Scar chimed in, “Those guys are seriously unreliable. Might as well sit and wait.”Hearing a gangster complain about the police made Adriana laugh. “From the sound of it, you’ve had some experience?”Scar scratched his head, embarrassed. “Not too many times…”The cave wasn't big enough to tire Calvin, but sitting beside Adriana and gazing at the sky felt like a mome
