Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 234 Calvin and Adriana are in the room?
The penthouse suite offered a sweeping view of the city at night. Exotic architecture and a sea of lights stretched endlessly, starkly different from the familiar landscapes of the United States. Every street, every building’s design and orientation, served as a constant reminder—this place was far from home.And Calvin—he was the last person Adriana could afford to offend.Rather than confronting him or escalating tensions, wouldn’t it be wiser to have a calm, rational conversation?Resolving to take the diplomatic route, Adriana took the initiative. “If Mr. Calvin doesn’t have anything urgent to discuss right now, could you give me five minutes? At least let me dry my hair.”She had rushed out after washing it, barely managing to pat it dry. Now, water dripped from the ends, soaking through her clothes and splattering onto the carpet. Knowing Calvin’s obsession with cleanliness, she was sure he’d make an issue of it sooner or later.Calvin opened his mouth, ready with a sharp retort

The blood rushed to his head, and a rumble of plasma seemed to burst in his skull. Fortunately, Calvin had extraordinary self-control. He steadied his tone and said, “Blow-drying your hair—how did you end up in this state?”Adriana’s small face was pale from pain, but as she held her breath to endure it, a flush of red surfaced, creating a contrast that appeared almost like a delicate pink blush.“I fell and hit my tailbone. Now I can’t move, and the floor is so hard—I think I might have cracked a bone.”Calvin’s footsteps faltered. “A bone?”Adriana was in too much pain to manage her expression. Her fingers gripped the ground to brace herself, minimizing any movement in her hips.“I’m not sure. Can you call a doctor for me?”Calvin’s expression darkened, though it was unclear whether it was from anger or something else. Without another word, he bent down, stretching his arms toward her.“If you’re worried about a broken bone, don’t move. Otherwise, it might shift out of alignment.”A

Adriana pulled the corner of her mouth into a strained smile.“It’s… ah!”He was Calvin. A man who could shake the stock market with a mere stomp of his foot. What was money to him? If he wanted, he could rename this hotel every other day just for fun.Meanwhile, the male doctor was left waiting alone in the living room. Inside the bedroom, Calvin—who had no medical experience whatsoever—stepped closer and asked, “How is she?”The moment he entered, the female doctor’s face flushed slightly.“It’s not a fracture,” she explained. “But your wife didn’t cushion her fall properly, and the impact jarred her bones. There’s some ligament and connective tissue damage. She needs rest and recovery. I’ll prescribe both internal and external medications. After three days, she should be able to walk normally.”Lying on her back, Adriana was relieved she didn’t have to show her face. If she did, the expression of utter despair she wore might make the doctor think she had been misdiagnosed.Calvin n

Just as Adriana angled herself halfway up, a sharp pain nearly shattered her defenses. Her vision blurred, and the psychological urge to cry swelled inside her.“Ma’am, let me apply the medicine. May I ask where it hurts?”Hearing the gentle voice of the hotel attendant, Adriana stopped struggling. “Hip.”So… he really ordered room service?After the medicine was applied, Adriana lay back down, waiting for it to take effect.Twenty minutes passed. Calvin was still nowhere to be seen.Did he get another room to avoid suspicion?That would be good. Staying under separate roofs would prevent unnecessary interactions—no more awkward encounters, no more pointless arguments.But an hour later, Adriana wasn’t feeling so optimistic.An internal emergency had crept up on her. She needed to use the restroom.The medicine’s effect was slow. Instead of soothing the pain, it burned—hot and intense—making her break out in anxious sweat. She couldn’t even get out of bed, let alone walk to the bathro

It was time to say something—something that could serve as a final declaration before bed.After thinking for a moment, Adriana chose a safe topic. "The person we were tracking seems to be a bit of a mystery. Before I came here today, Lewis said that he saw him leave in a hurry. It looked like he had something urgent to handle. Lewis followed him and saw him enter a private club. Due to identity restrictions, he couldn't get in for now, but I believe there will be other breakthrough points."In the dim light, Calvin's brow furrowed, and it didn’t relax. One form of tension eased, only for another to take its place. In a low voice, he said, "After all this time, we finally have a bit of a breakthrough."From his tone, it wasn’t praise—it sounded more like dissatisfaction, as if the delay was unacceptable and needed to be reflected upon as a failure under his leadership.Adriana hadn’t expected any words of encouragement from him, so she remained calm. "Our current evidence, along with

The phone turned on, and the blue light reflected off Adriana’s small face. Calvin wondered how she had slept last night. At the very least, she looked well-rested.Unlike him.He had tossed and turned until three in the morning, her even, steady breaths beside him only making it harder to sleep.After taking a shower, Calvin brewed coffee, got to work, and quickly immersed himself in his tasks—so much so that he forgot about the person still lying inside.Meanwhile, Adriana was bombarded with messages. She barely had a moment to rest as she explained why she hadn’t returned to the hotel the night before, listened to a rundown of new evidence, and discussed the latest developments with Lewis regarding the stalking situation.During the video conference, Adriana was the only one who didn’t turn on her camera.Marshal asked, “Where are you Lawyer Clarke?”Adriana replied, “I have an old friend in Manchester. I came to visit but will try to return early. Feel free to contact me if there’

Adriana leaned crookedly on the sofa, propped up by cushions. The handmade embroidery on the fabric pressed uncomfortably against her skin, so she flipped the cushion over and plopped back down.“Many thanks for your praise,” she said. “Whether you’re genuinely complimenting me or subtly undermining me, at least this sentence was nice to hear.”Calvin tugged at the corner of his mouth in a faint smirk. “Are we changing the medicine now?”“Wait until the waiter brings the food. You can change it while you're at it.”For a split second, Calvin’s fingers tightened, but he said nothing.Breakfast arrived, and the waiter turned out to be a man.Adriana buried her face into the cushion in frustration, enduring the pain as she shifted slightly. “That…”The word expediency popped into her mind.Perhaps Calvin’s willingness to help her with the medicine wasn’t driven by ulterior motives but was simply a practical gesture in the given situation. Maybe she had overreacted before.So instead of a

Bright red roses interrupted the moment between them, delivered straight into his line of sight, as if she were offering up her heart.The corner of Calvin’s mouth twitched, forming a faint smile. Taking the rose and placing it back, he said, “I see you’re quite good at making playful gestures. Be practical—stay here for two more days, rest up before you leave. How can you even think of sitting in a car in this condition? Lying down in the back seat?”Adriana widened her almond-shaped eyes in surprise.She had merely given Calvin a flower, and he was suddenly being so considerate?“I was afraid of disturbing you,” she said.Calvin had noticed the red rose out of the corner of his eye. “Just don’t hit me.”People tend to relax when their stomachs are full. Adriana snorted and laughed. “I didn’t realize you had a humorous side.”The curve of Calvin’s mouth remained unchanged. “And what else do you know about me besides the fact that I have a charming face?”“Pfft!”Adriana hadn’t meant

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

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

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
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 306 Wine and Sex
Adriana hurriedly stood up, letting Richard's arms miss her as she fled to the song selection table. She quickly picked a song she was already tired of hearing herself.The prelude began. Adriana sat on a high stool as the disorienting lights flickered and danced, casting her features in shifting patterns of light and shadow. In the haze, her face became half-hidden, half-revealed—mysterious and luminous.As the song started, the room fell silent.Mina, holding her glass of wine, joined a few men in turning their attention to the small stage.There, in the corner, sat a woman like a frightened deer—yet somehow too mesmerizing to be real.Where did she come from?Was she just trying to help out a newcomer, or had she accidentally brought in a job-stealing troublemaker?Fortunately, that lecherous Darren Venzor wasn’t around tonight. If he had been, he would’ve already been seduced by that little fox.Adriana sang with her lips,

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
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 304 Moon Bay Clubhouse
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
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 303 Calvin and I can only be friends
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&
