Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 259 Did you send him to jail to please Calvin?
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

In the past few days, Calvin’s insomnia had gotten worse. Even sleeping pills couldn’t help him fall asleep. Back home, Adriana's presence lingered everywhere—her shadow seemed to be in every corner.He had moved into the house where Adriana used to live, but it was still filled with her scent, tightly sealed in the air.She had bought three pieces of affordable furniture. Although she neither assembled nor used them herself, Calvin always felt like she was drifting between the cabinets whenever he closed his eyes.His imagination only made him more anxious.Out of sheer boredom, Calvin asked Henry to meet him for a drink at Moonlight.Henry, with the word “lifeless” flashing across his mind, pushed open the door to their private booth. As he walked in, he saw Calvin, surrounded by swirling smoke, and narrowed his eyes with a grin.“Calvin, why are you sitting there like Devdas? Today you look just right for a tragic lead role.”Calvin had his legs folded up on the table. He raised hi

Henry was rubbing the side of his arm, cold and furiously breaking out in goosebumps.Anna smiled and responded carefully, “I was thinking that since you’re familiar with Dr. Henry, you could help me find the best doctor. Also, I’m afraid of going to the hospital alone—probably because of the post-traumatic stress. Seeing a doctor makes me so scared.”Calvin turned on the speakerphone. “Henry is here with me. Talk to him if you have any doubts.”Henry gave a thumbs-up and mouthed, Count on you. “Miss Blake, hello. I’m Dr. Henry!”Anna froze for a moment. “Ah… Dr. Henry! What a coincidence….”Over the next few minutes, Henry briefly explained a few things to her, including who to contact at the hospital the next day.After hanging up the phone, Henry accidentally brushed against the photo album. The first photo showed Adriana in profile, with an English-style building in the background, a black coffee on the table, and a despondent look on her face.“Hey don’t say you stole the picture

What did he mean? Was he asking for her location to meet up?She didn’t want to meet him.“At Mars!” she snapped.Grumpily, Adriana hung up the call. But Calvin’s call had reminded her to open an app and send her location to Aidan—just in case.If Maria really had lured her into a trap, Adriana didn’t want to disappear in a foreign country with no one even able to find her body.“Adriana, help me!”Her spine stiffened instantly, and her eyes shot toward the source of the voice—coming from a patch of greenery nearby.“Maria!”Adriana called out, lunging forward. “I’m here! Don’t be afraid!”Maria’s voice came again, even more desperate. “Adriana! Hurry, save me!”Adriana clutched her bag tightly and rushed toward the sound, but it was so dark she couldn’t see a thing. Her cousin’s location was impossible to pinpoint.She pushed her way through a tangle of uneven plants, following the sound of soft sobs.“Wait for me!” she called.“Adriana!”The voice was close now. Adriana advanced slo

Stunned, but her eyes had already adapted to the darkness, Adriana slowly raised her head and saw Calvin’s cold, hard jawline. He was dressed in black—only his face, paler than usual, stood out against the night.Adriana’s voice was hoarse, her heartbeat completely out of rhythm. In this situation, she didn’t have the mental space to analyze causes and consequences. She simply whispered, “They have knives.”When Maria was being held down on the ground, the man had a knife in his hand. The sharp, cold blade could stab through her belly at any moment. That was why Adriana hesitated to move.Calvin took off his jacket and put it over her. His large hand gently covered her eyes, his broad chest shielding her, as he said, “Don’t look!”Adriana slowed her breathing. The most terrifying moment had passed, and now, surprisingly calm, her small, trembling hand grasped his. “I’m not afraid. I’ll help you.”The man who had crashed into the tree spat to the side, rubbing his back and cursing. “He

Calvin was ruthless—but his ruthlessness made her feel a mix of pain, relief, and strange excitement.In the face of evil, mercy only leads to more trouble and deeper wounds. If you want to end it once and for all, you have to be ruthless enough—desperate enough.Maria, her face splattered with blood, forced herself to forget the fear she felt when that first knife went down. Her eyes were dull, hardened. “May I go?”Calvin dropped one word. “Get out.”Maria threw the knife aside and stumbled away.Adriana watched her messy, staggering steps, and all the words she had wanted to say disappeared from her lips.Maria had already been punished. What came next—she would face on her own.With a thud, Maria fell to the ground, scrambled back to her feet, and, in a sorry state, continued running until she disappeared into the darkness of the night.Even without prison, something like cutting off a man’s fingers would be enough to give her nightmares for years.Adriana walked over to Calvin. “

Maybe it was a coincidence—or maybe a deliberate arrangement—but today, Calvin booked the same room as last time.The setup was exactly the same, as if no other guest had ever stayed there since.Adriana had the strange illusion that this room was permanently reserved by Calvin.And perhaps, it truly was.Calvin kicked off his slippers and tossed his dirty leather shoes into the trash can. Then, he took out another pair from the shoe cabinet and threw them at Adriana’s feet.“Change into these.”Adriana hesitated.Calvin walked to the liquor cabinet, reached for a bottle of whiskey, but after a moment’s pause, decided to pour a glass of water instead.“You wanted to bail Bruce out, didn’t you? Without my permission, no matter how many trips you make, you won’t be able to get the paperwork done.”Adriana felt a wave of sadness wash over her—so bitter, so heavy, it numbed her.She changed her shoes and stood beneath the chandelier in the living room.“What do you want?” she asked quietl

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&
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 301 You women are crazy
“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
