2025-04-19 13:54:24Before Adriana entered the conference room, she overheard Anderson, who was sitting near the door, say, "I have heard that the Blake family has been interacting with George very frequently these days, and he has even loosely offered a lot of facilities to the Phantom Group."
Over the past two days, Adriana had also picked up some inside information indirectly.
Alex messaged her from time to time, chatting about random things and occasionally asking if she had time to go out for a walk. In the process, he would inadvertently mention Anna and Calvin:
"Calvin is with Anna. How could he have time to hang out with me? If you're not busy, why don't we meet in Manchester?"
"Calvin and Anna make a great couple. They’re exactly what people mean when they talk about a talented man and a beautiful woman together."
"So boring—Calvin is with Anna again. Oh, and by the way, Anna’s parents are in London. Now I can’t even see Calvin’s

Adriana wanted to laugh, but the corner of her mouth barely moved. How could she smile naturally? “The funds he transferred were quite substantial. According to British law, not only would he have to return them, but he could also face jail time. You’re a financial officer—you know the relevant laws. Didn’t you remind him?”Bruce saw her circling around the main topic, avoiding it. So, he cut straight to the point. “Grand Empire has investigated me, haven’t they?”Adriana’s eyes burned as she looked at her uncle’s weathered face. “We suspect that you’re the one orchestrating all of this behind the scenes.”Bruce replied, “Cases rely on evidence, not guesses.”Adriana stared into his eyes and asked, enunciating each word carefully, “Uncle, did you do it?”Instead of answering directly, Bruce smiled at her with affection. “Do you remember what

It had been half a month since Adriana last spoke to Calvin. She hadn’t taken the initiative to contact him again, nor had she heard any directives from Grand Empire’s senior management through Marshal or the others.It looked like they were prepared to follow the law.Bruce’s character was upright. He had retaliated against Grand Empire, yet he must have known he would have to pay the legal price. Even if Calvin accepted a settlement, her uncle would never agree. Not to mention, Grand Empire had no intention of letting this go.Adriana ran her fingers through her hair in frustration. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her mood swings were worsened by irritability and anxiety. She hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in three days.Miley knocked on the door and stepped inside, only to be shocked by Adriana’s appearance. “Lawyer Clarke, are you sick? You look terrible.”Adriana held her coffee cup tightly. &ldquo

Seeing the name on the screen clearly, an indescribable sense of loss took over his heart.Calvin picked up the phone. “Dad.”Damian said, “I heard the news from the UK side. It seems your choice of Adriana to charge into battle was a good one. Hmph! However, whether she can maintain that pathetic sense of justice in critical moments is hard to say.”The irony and disdain in his father’s words made Calvin’s brow furrow. In a cold voice, he replied, “Adriana’s adherence to the principles of the law proves that she is a qualified lawyer who does what is right.”Damian scoffed. “Don’t underestimate a woman’s mind. Unless I see Bruce go to prison with my own eyes, everything is still up in the air.”Calvin pinched the bridge of his nose between his long fingers. “Dad, is there anything else you wanted to say?”“You think I contacted you just because of Adriana? She’s not important enough to trouble me. Dinner at your grandfather’s place tonight. Be there early.”Calvin’s expression darken

At five in the afternoon, Stella called her son again, once more emphasizing the importance of the evening and insisting that he return home early.Calvin replied in annoyance, “The company has an emergency. I can’t get away.”“I already asked your secretary about your schedule today. The evening event was canceled. I’ve sent a driver to pick you up—he’s downstairs. The Blake family will be here soon. Are you planning to make the guests wait? Where’s your sense of decency?”Calvin scoffed. “Does Mom really see them as guests?”Stella snapped, “Even if you don’t marry Anna, we will find another suitable woman for you—but never Adriana. Delay all you want. The worst that will happen is your grandfather falling ill from anger or deciding to appoint another heir to take over the company. Then we’ll see what you do. Do you want to be accused of being disloyal and unfilial?”But what Adriana was enduring now—that was true disloyalty and unfilial behavior.Calvin wondered how she was doing.

Calvin couldn’t help but tug at his tie. Standing under the crystal chandelier, his mood remained heavy and oppressive. “Why didn’t you contact me?”On the other end, a clear female voice responded, carrying even a hint of an offhand smile. “Is Mr. President dissatisfied with our work, or do you have additional requirements?”“You know what I mean.”Adriana replied coolly, “How would I know what’s on your mind? I wouldn’t dare to speculate on the thoughts of those in high positions.”Every word pushed him further away, her distant and polite tone thoroughly unsettling him.“The money wasn’t enough for me to cause a scene in court.”Adriana’s cold smile vanished. “Then what exactly do you want to do? If you didn’t want to go to court, why did you sign a contract with a proxy lawyer? And why insist on sending the defendant to jail while also adding a clause banning him from setting foot in New York? Did I misunderstand your intentions, or do your words and actions contradict each other—

“I…” Anna’s eyes were wet as she avoided Calvin’s gaze. Her fingertips twitched and stirred together as if trying to push out words stuck in her throat—words she didn’t want to say.If she gave Calvin the answer he wanted, could she still have hope?But if she said nothing, what would he do to her?As the thought weighed on her, a bright idea sparked in Anna’s mind. She spoke politely. “I think Calvin is right. Marriage is a lifelong commitment. Once you become a family, you shouldn’t want to be separated. So it’s best to marry for mutual affection, to truly love each other—not just out of obligation.”She looked at Stella gently, her eyes full of admiration and warmth. “Aunty, your kindness to me—I’ve always remembered it. Even if we can’t become mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, in my heart, you are the most caring and gracious elder I know.”Stella didn’t show any clear reaction. These high-society ladies had been trained well; every word they spoke was carefully measured.George

The team’s scheduled return was the day after the trial verdict, and everyone except Adriana had already boarded the flight back to New York.There was no longer the pressure of war-like preparation, no longer the torment of choosing sides—yet Adriana felt no relief. Guilt and anger haunted her constantly. Persistent neurasthenia left her sleepless through the night. And even when she did manage to fall asleep, she was shaken awake by nightmares.In her dreams, her uncle stretched out his arm to accuse her: “I loved you in vain all these years. You turned against me. Ungrateful girl!”Other times, her cousins would take turns yelling at her, strangling her, forcing her to apologize to her uncle.The hardest dream of all was the one with her mother.Her mother stood before her, eyes brimming with tears, her voice breaking: “Adria, I’m so disappointed in you. For Calvin, you betrayed your uncle.You don’t deserve to be my daughter. I have no daughter like you!”Then her mother would beg

Adriana had spent the entire night going through information, searching for a way to secure her uncle’s bail.According to the British legal system, several strict conditions must be met for someone to be released on bail. None of them were easy, and the procedures were complicated and demanding.Even if he applied for medical parole, her uncle couldn’t return to his home country or go to Germany—he would have to remain in the UK.Both of her cousins were in Germany, running businesses. Who was going to take care of him?Questions piled up in her mind, and a sharp pain shot through her head.At six o’clock in the morning, Adriana’s phone rang.“Adriana, why aren’t you in bed yet?”Aidan yawned. “I just finished working. It’s morning over there, right? Did I wake you?”Adriana pressed her fingers against her eyes. She didn’t need a mirror to know how terrible she looked.“I haven’t slept all night. My eyes are nearly blind from staring at documents. If you have good news, please just g

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&

“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
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 299 An awkward situation
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
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 297 What's your name?
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
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 296 The so-called “520.”
Calvin listened as Adriana half‑chatted, half‑joked, half‑bluffed—effortlessly weaving her way into Scar’s mind and pulling out all his secrets. He couldn’t help but be impressed again.Was the girl he used to know really Adriana?He spoke calmly. “Where’s the rope?”Adriana looked around carefully and had to admit the truth. “The rope was yanked away.”In the darkness, she couldn’t clearly see Calvin’s expression—but she didn’t need to. He was probably frowning. That was one of his little habits. Maybe he hadn’t noticed it himself, but whenever he was annoyed or in a bad mood, he always squeezed his eyebrows together—and the depth of that crease depended on the seriousness of the situation.Scar cursed under his breath. “Son of a bitch! Bunch of assholes!”Adriana glanced up at the cave’s entrance, eyeballing its height, then turned to Calvin.“Can you fly up there?”Scar stared in disbelief. “You… can fly?”Calvin frowned. “No.”Adriana pursed her lips. Her body was exhausted—there
