Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 239 Are you busy?
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

As soon as she finished speaking, Anna blacked out, slipping completely into darkness.Calvin looked down and saw her covered in blood. His brows furrowed into a deep, cold line. “Anna, wake up!”The woman in his arms remained unresponsive, unconscious from severe blood loss. Her face and lips had turned frighteningly pale.Rushing to the nearest hospital, Calvin watched as Anna was wheeled into the operating room. He stood outside in the corridor, his expression frozen, his presence as cold as zero degrees.During the tense wait, Calvin contacted his subordinates in the UK, issuing orders with unwavering authority. “Calm the situation at the construction site immediately. The one who attacked her—send him to the police station first. Wait for my further instructions.”Meanwhile, Alex had struggled to pacify the rowdy crowd, but a new group of men arrived from behind and quickly dispersed them.He didn’t fully grasp how it happened, but within half an hour, the mob had dispersed on it

Adriana buried her chin into the pillow, her spine tingling with an eerie chill, as if countless unseen eyes were watching her. Lying in the room Calvin had booked, she felt an unsettling sense of restraint, as though she were sitting on pins and needles.“I’ll listen to you and won’t do anything foolish,” she murmured.Maxwell patted his daughter’s head, the warmth of his touch cutting through the distance between them. “You’re my daughter, and I’ve never let you suffer any injustice since you were a child. Now, even though our family can’t provide you with the same material security as before, as long as I’m here, I won’t let you be wronged again.” His voice grew more serious. “We’re not afraid of anything else—we’re afraid that Calvin will deceive you with sweet words and take advantage of you. He’s too cunning, too unpredictable. Even I could be outmaneuvered by him, let alone you.”His unwavering concern, layered with tenderness, broke Adriana’s last shred of composure. Tears wel

Before the Blake family arrived in London, Calvin had someone watch Anna closely at the hospital and instructed them to contact the doctor immediately if there was any change in her condition.Even the usually straightforward Alex sensed his resistance this time. After dinner, he considered heading to the hospital’s VIP room. Knocking on the door, he called out, “Calvin?”Calvin, reading a document, glanced slightly toward the door. “Something wrong?”Alex gently closed the door, not daring to get too close. He sat on the farthest couch, yet even from there, he could still feel the icy air surrounding Calvin. “Anna hasn’t woken up yet. You’re worried about her, aren’t you?”Calvin shot him an icy look.It clearly meant: Which one of your eyes saw me worrying?“And?”Alex continued, “Anna likes you a lot and cares about your feelings. She almost died trying to save you today. Aren’t you two engaged? She’s your fiancée, right? That means she truly loves you.”What Alex called true love,

The attending physician nodded. “Mr. Calvin, the patient has awakened. Would you like to see her?”Calvin gave a slight nod and stepped forward.In the ICU, Anna slowly opened her eyes. Blood loss had left her face pale, her lips devoid of color. Her pupils were unfocused at first, taking a long moment to adjust. When she finally saw the group of doctors in white coats standing beside a familiar figure, the pain in her body seemed to momentarily fade. A faint smile appeared on her lips.“Calvin…”Before she could say more, Calvin interrupted her. “The doctor said you’re still weak and shouldn’t exert yourself. If you have something to say, save it for later.”Anna’s eyes welled up with tears, touched by his concern.To be able to trade an injury for Calvin’s care and affection—it was worth it.“Alright, I’ll do as you say.”She was obedient, soft, like a submissive woman in the throes of deep love.Calvin frowned slightly before turning to speak with the doctor.The doctor explained A

Whether Marshal was being an alarmist or simply preparing for the worst, Calvin considered his words carefully. But deep down, he knew Adriana was not that kind of person.Was she really lying in wait, plotting to bring down Grand Empire to avenge her family and Clarke Group?That soft, stubborn woman—was she really capable of such a grand scheme?Calvin shook his head. No. Adriana wouldn’t do that.“Do your job. The rest is out of your hands.”Marshal knew better than to push any further. He had already said enough to warn his boss without overstepping. “Understood, President. I will cooperate with Lawyer Clarke on the lawsuit.”After hanging up the phone, Calvin found himself unable to settle. Marshal’s words—scandal and debt—kept echoing in his mind.At first, when he had finally cut ties with that “scheming woman,” he had felt an overwhelming sense of relief. But now, when he recalled her reddened eyes and unsteady footsteps as she left his office that day, something within him st

She had quite a bit of potential for uttering so many non-repetitive curse words in one night.Calvin caught her hand, not allowing her to leave.Then, right in front of her, he dialed a number.The call connected after just a few rings.“Mr. Walker? Wow, what an honor! What brings you to call me?” the voice on the other end said, half-joking.Calvin said coldly, “Contact Richard. Get him out of there — use whatever excuse you need.”The person on the other side didn’t dare to ask for details. “Yes, understood!”Calvin hung up and turned to look at Adriana, whose eyes were red with rage.“Aren’t you going to thank me?” he said lazily.Adriana tried to shake off his hand but couldn’t.“Calvin, you’re only making things more awkward between us. Please pay attention to boundaries…”Calvin leaned in and said lowly, “If I hadn’t watched my step tonight, you'd be lying on my bed right now, under me, crying for mercy.”Adriana’s face flared with anger.Without hesitation, she raised her foot

Last time, she had been half-proud of herself for bravely refusing to go home with Calvin — but she didn’t expect to be back here again, in the blink of an eye.Adriana scratched her hair in distress.“To be clear, I’m just borrowing the room,” she muttered.Calvin glanced at her miserable-looking face and said lazily, “I suggest you clean yourself up first. I won’t lay my hands on a female ghost — even if I’m horny.”Adriana rushed into the restroom, only then realizing how horrible she looked with half her makeup removed during the car ride.Come to think of it, Calvin had kept his cool the entire way — not even driving the car into the green belt.His psychological endurance was strong enough, she had to admit.The bathroom was fully stocked with toiletries.After showering, Adriana came out wrapped in a bathrobe, only to find Calvin on the balcony, making a call.He stood near the window, one hand in his pants pocket, his back straight and imposing.“Send someone to keep an eye on
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 310 Are you scaring me?
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
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 307 If you’re scared, close your eyes, if not, watch closely
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

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

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
