Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 456 Where is your friend?
As soon as Adriana got out of the car, she saw Carson sitting in a wheelchair. He was wearing a Hawaiian-style shirt with an exaggerated floral pattern, bright enough to compete with the surrounding greenery and vibrant red flowers.The most eye-catching detail was the crown on his head.The others around him were dressed casually—not like a meeting, but more like a picnic.Seeing her approach, Carson waved his hand in greeting. “Lawyer Clarke, over here.”Adriana forced a polite smile. “Sorry I’m late.”Lisa, who had taken off her sunglasses and was seated in the main chair, smiled warmly. “Not too late, not too late. We’ve just been drinking tea, chatting, and enjoying the scenery. Join us, Lawyer Clarke—have a seat.”She gestured to a spot beside Carson, slightly apart from the others.Since Adriana was Carson’s assistant, it seemed natural for her to sit near her boss, but the seating arrangement felt vaguely deliberate—perhaps even strategic.As soon as she sat down, Carson leane

He didn’t know any better, so she had to pick her battles.Calvin, as if nothing had happened, said, “Where is it?”He’s still not going to get out of the car after what she said?It was clear this was going to be difficult.“Four Seasons Manor!”“It’s thirty minutes away by car. As a surrogate, you’d better not be late.”“You…”“Drive, or I’ll sit here with you until dawn. Lawyer Clarke prides herself on being hardworking and dedicated—so let me see how dedicated you really are.”Adriana glared at him viciously, then bit her lip.The drive was silent. Adriana vented her anger on the gas pedal, brake, and steering wheel, handling them with as much force as she could muster. Calvin, on the other hand, seemed blind to it all, allowing her to unleash her fury on the new car.The Four Seasons Manor, a property of the Carson Group, was located on the outskirts of the city. It was a comprehensive private estate, integrating fruit and vegetable cultivation, leisure facilities, vacation space

Adriana’s first reaction wasn’t to answer Carson but to dart a glance at Calvin while keeping her eyes on the road.However, the sunglasses completely obscured his eyes, and his terrible temper could only be sensed from the cold air radiating around him.Before Adriana could speak, Carson’s anxious voice came through the phone, “Where are you? Why aren’t you saying anything?”Adriana gritted her teeth. “I’m driving.”“Don’t talk to me if you’re driving. Keep yourself safe. We’ll wait for you.”At that moment, Adriana felt incredibly fortunate that Carson hadn’t said too much—otherwise, she couldn’t imagine what kind of ugly expression Calvin would be wearing again.But before the call had even ended, Calvin spoke up lazily, “Carson.”Adriana froze.There was a moment of dead silence on the other end, then Carson’s voice came through, sharp as ice, “Calvin, you’re in her car?”Adriana instinctively reached for her phone, but Calvin pushed her hand away. “Drive properly.”“Deputy Direct

Payee: Adriana.What a coincidence.The person she had bumped into was actually Carson’s subordinate—or perhaps even the girl he liked?Lisa thought for a moment and then called Carson. “It’s today, right? The meeting with that paralegal of yours?”Carson was already at the venue. When he heard his aunt’s voice, he almost exploded. “Aunty! You’re reliable, right? You haven’t forgotten? Finish up whatever you’re doing and hurry over!”Lisa smiled lazily. “What’s the rush? If you didn’t see her last time, how could you miss her again today? Tell me the truth—do you really like this girl?”Carson scratched his head awkwardly. “Didn’t you hear my parents at the house the other day? Right now, it’s not even about whether I like her or not—it’s that my parents are about ready to cut ties with me over this.”Lisa’s tone softened slightly. “Marriage is something where we should respect our parents’ opinions, yes. But in the end, it’s two people who have to live together. You can’t rely entire

On the other side...Mark stared at the chat box, lost in thought.This was the second time Adriana had told him not to send flowers again.Last time, he’d expressed his feelings in a roundabout way and she hadn’t rejected him outright—she’d given a quiet acquiescence.But this time?Had she developed feelings for someone else?Did she not want him wasting any more of his energy?Or was she trying to suggest there was no chance for them to move forward?Whatever the reason, it stung a little.“What are you thinking about? You haven’t moved a muscle,” came a voice beside him.Startled, Mark quickly put his phone away.“It’s nothing. The verdict just came down. I’m heading back to the law firm,” he replied.Derick, still in his court uniform, had just finished his own hearing. He clapped Mark on the shoulder. “Don’t lie to me. That look in your eyes just now—it’s the same one you had when you were fighting with your girlfriend back in the day. Emotional trouble?”Mark let out a small la

On the way back, Adriana didn’t say a word.Kevin wanted to speak several times to break the silence in the car, but he couldn’t find a suitable topic. In the end, he kept his mouth shut, not wanting to add to the tension.Calvin, for his part, remained as calm as a statue.Adriana stared out the window at the scenery passing by and thought back to what she had said to her brother. In front of Calvin, she refused to reveal her true emotions, choosing instead to wrap her fragile heart in a cold shell.As they approached a fork in the road, Kevin finally broke the silence.“President, where are we going?”To the left was Adriana’s rented apartment. To the right, the Green wick complex.Kevin didn’t dare make a hasty decision.“Drop me off at the intersection,” Adriana said. “I’ll take a taxi home. Don’t delay sending Calvin back.”Calvin’s face, half-shadowed under the streetlights, tightened slightly as he furrowed his brows.“Send Adriana home first,” he said firmly.Now that the sile
