Anderson coughed, straightened his tie, and said, “Without that diamond, don’t take our porcelain work. Mr. Marshall took such a big risk by making her the vanguard, huh? She better have the ability to back it up.”
Miley listened and found his words reasonable. Originally, she had been a subordinate of Marshall, but now the leader had positioned her as a battering ram, essentially demoting her. However, Adriana didn’t seem to care about rankings at all—she neither hesitated nor flaunted herself. She was straightforward.
“Lawyer Clarke has a doctorate from Cornell University and has handled many major cases. She should be strong.”
“Strength? How much strength does it take to hold down Mr. Marshall, who has over twenty years of courtroom experience? How did you become a secretary when you’re so quick to take someone else’s side?”

It was really hard to tell who the winner would be.More importantly, it was still a toss-up whether Xavier was even willing to sell.Calvin said bluntly, “I’ll invite you to throw in a handful of soil at the groundbreaking ceremony, so don’t be in such a hurry.”Carson cursed under his breath. “The more you run your mouth, the worse you’ll end up. You think you can take meat out of that old fox’s mouth just because of the Grand Empire name? It didn’t work before. Bringing a female secretary won’t change anything.”Calvin replied calmly, “We’ll see.”Adriana, caught in the middle of their standoff, interrupted, “I’m hungry. Can we eat now?”Even choosing lunch turned into another battleground, with the two men nearly arguing again. Finally, Adriana had to raise her voice. “I just want to eat Northwest cuisine! You guys can go eat Japanese or French food if you want. Let’s split up.”In the end, the two men—with both the best looks and highest status—ended up following Adriana to a Nor

Adriana smiled and thanked him, sitting down as she was told. Noticing Xavier’s teacup, she asked, “Mr. Hamper, do you like Fuding White Tea?”Xavier raised his brows in surprise. “Oh? You know about tea?”She couldn’t say she was an expert—just that her father loved tea, and over time she had picked up a few things by watching and learning from him.Adriana replied, “May I smell it?”Xavier noticed she had brought two tea brushes with her and handed them over.“Then tell me—can you guess which one this is?”Adriana held the cup about a dozen centimeters from her nose, fanned the aroma gently toward herself with her hand, and took a few measured sniffs. “Fuding White Tea. Snow Buds, roasted over charcoal—the scent is quite distinctive. The best leaves come from Tai Mo Fangjia Mountain, a tiny region. The genuine mountain-grown White Pine-pressed Silver Needle is top-grade—so rare that even with money, you may not be able to find or drink the real thing.”Xavier had thought she might k

“Mr. Hamper, I’m really sorry for being late!”The sound of laughter nearby snapped Adriana’s attention in that direction. Just a moment ago, she had hated Calvin’s proximity—and now, she desperately wished he would come closer, preferably pulling her into his arms and hiding her away.Calvin had said that Xavier had an appointment with someone, but he hadn't mentioned that the appointment was with Carson.How could she justify herself if her identity were revealed on the spot?She feared that when the time came, not only would she fail to achieve her goal for Calvin, but she might also provoke Xavier into hostility.When cooperating, honesty and sincerity were essential. If they couldn't even manage that, how could they expect Xavier to work with them?Her mind was in disarray, thousands of thoughts racing through her head. But Calvin, standing behind her, seemed completely unmoved.Adriana asked in a low voice, “You didn’t know at first either?”He wouldn’t have let her play secreta
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 342 Taking advantage of the situation
Calvin wore a white duck-bill cap, a black polo shirt, and matching black pants. His stride was relaxed and confident, stretching easily between the green grass and the blue sky—as if the entire field belonged to him and everyone else was just passing through.Xavier gripped the club with both hands but paused at the sound of footsteps. Without even looking closely, the familiar aura told him exactly who it was—Calvin.Xavier understood the purpose of his visit immediately. He straightened up with a smile and said, “Mr. Calvin, what wind blew a big person like you all the way here?”Calvin gazed out at the vast, unseen edges of the course. His eyes were calm and thoughtful, his mood lifted by the sweeping view of sea and sky. “A good place like New Jersey—I think I’ll start coming more often.”Xavier caught the hidden meaning behind his words but maintained the cordial tone of a host. “It’s an honor that Mr. Calvin is willing to visit our little place. I’ve always said, the sky in New

Calvin walked in front with his head held high, and Adriana followed behind. They headed to the sportswear section, steering clear of leisurewear brands. Without explaining why, Calvin simply picked out a few sets of seasonal sportswear, then looked back at Adriana, who was still frowning."Do you want me to pick it out for you?" he asked.Adriana said, "We’re going to meet him dressed like this?"Calvin replied, "Xavier is playing golf with someone outdoors this morning and heading to Fisherman’s Wharf for a swim in the afternoon."What he mean is that they are buying bathing suits too?Adriana didn’t choose much—just two sets of sportswear, a pair of lightweight sneakers—and then went next door to the outdoor mall to buy a golf sweatshirt and a duck-billed cap. It had been a few years since she last played golf, and she wasn’t sure how many strokes she could manage now. Still, she hoped she wouldn’t embarrass Calvin.After swiping his card, Calvin looked down at the paper bags on th

Thinking about her work assignment the next day, Adriana lay on the large bed in the ocean-view room, her mind spinning.Xavier’s public profile painted him in a grandiose light. According to the official information, he was a philanthropist, a successful entrepreneur, and a respected figure in New Jersey—carrying all kinds of honorable titles. A true gentleman, at least on paper.But the way Calvin described him was starkly different. There wasn’t a shred of goodness in his portrayal. In Calvin’s eyes, Xavier was ruthless, with blood on his hands—anything but innocent.Naturally, Adriana trusted Calvin’s version more.As for what to say or do at tomorrow’s meeting… she’d just have to take it as it came.One good thing: tonight, Calvin hadn’t made any unreasonable demands. She could rest peacefully in her suite.After tossing and turning several times, she finally drifted off to sleep.****Meanwhile, in the suite next door, Calvin lay awake, one hand under his pillow, unable to close

"You want to return the favor, don’t you? Then do it now."An hour later, Calvin’s words were still echoing in Adriana’s mind. Sitting in his car, her emotions felt like a roller coaster—especially when she realized Calvin was driving out of New York City.The car passed through a toll station and merged onto the highway. Adriana glanced at Calvin, whose face remained dark and unreadable behind the wheel. He didn’t even spare her a proper glance.“Where are we going?” she asked.Calvin stared coldly at the road ahead. The car surged to 102 miles per hour, hugging the leftmost lane. The vehicles ahead and behind were far in the distance.It was as if the spinning tires were the only outlet for the emotions he hadn’t yet released.“It’s too late for regrets. Sit tight,” he snapped.Adriana wasn’t regretting anything—but she was terrified. Calvin always acted unpredictably. Who knew what he was planning this time?“I just want to make sure we’ll be stopping at the service area to refuel,

When Henry heard Ray’s miserable screams, the cold sweat on his back made his hairs stand on end. He blurted out, “Calvin, isn’t that a bit too ruthless?”Calvin let out a soft laugh without saying a word.That smile alone was enough for Henry to remember for the rest of his life.A man in love… You really can’t afford to mess with him.Henry silently vowed never to use Adriana as a shield again. Blind dates were better than losing his life.Outside the hospital’s main entrance, Adriana caught up with Calvin’s fast and furious pace.“Calvin.”Why are you walking so fast? Are you planning to launch yourself like a rocket?Adriana, you’re getting addicted to playing someone’s girlfriend. One Aidan wasn’t enough—now you’re teaming up with your ex-husband’s best friend?Calvin kept that thought buried in his chest. It didn’t hurt less for being unsaid—but at some point, he planned to confront her properly. He needed to make her understand she couldn’t keep taking the blame for others’ rom

Henry pretended not to notice her eyes and smiled, "Calvin, how can you come to visit a patient empty-handed? Look at how thoughtful Adriana is—people are bringing flowers.”Calvin's gaze swept across the coffee table, where sunflowers and other blooms sparkled in the sunlight, pleasing to the eye. “Is one bunch not enough? Should I bring a full meal instead?”Ray's body ached, and his heart was filled with anger. The fires burning both inside and out seemed to scorch the soles of his feet. He let out a cold snort. “Are you here to visit me, or just to laugh at my misfortune?”Calvin stood at the end of the bed, looking at Ray’s miserable posture with a hint of disdain. “You’re the one who didn’t act carefully, and now you want to blame others?”Ray was struck speechless and clenched his teeth in frustration. “Don’t push me too far!”Calvin replied coldly, “People who often walk by the river will eventually get their shoes wet. Be more careful next time, especially in a place like a h
