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

It was fine as long as he didn’t point it out, but once he did, Adriana grew visibly uncomfortable. She turned a bit diabolical. “I’ll go change!”Calvin said, “Why are you changing? Are you feeling guilty?”“It’s not that I feel guilty. I’m just afraid you’ll misunderstand.”Calvin replied carelessly, “If your heart is pure, then clothes don’t matter.”Adriana was convinced by his words. Purposefully going to change would only prove she had a guilty conscience. It was better to be generous. “Has the doctor come?”Confirming that Adriana’s appearance wasn’t inappropriate, Calvin called the doctor in—the same female doctor as last time.Upon seeing Adriana again, the doctor’s smile grew noticeably enthusiastic. Her gaze lingered on the two of them with more than a hint of envy. “Ma’am, where would you like to do the examination?”Adriana chose the bedroom.The examination was quick, and because Adriana repeatedly emphasized that she wasn’t feeling well, the doctor didn’t point out that

Maria didn’t dare tell her brother the whole truth. She tried to cover it up with an explanation.“She’s the reason Dad went to jail, and our family ended up like this! Life used to be so good. Now there’s nothing left. I… I just couldn’t help getting angry. I only wanted to scare her a little, to punish her. I didn’t mean to really hurt her.”In James’s heart, although he knew his sister could be a little willful and loved to play around, she hadn’t complained much even though life had become harder in recent years. Given her timid nature, he doubted she would go too far in acting against Adriana. So he tried to comfort her.“Since she wasn’t hurt and was rescued in time, there’s no reason she’d come back to retaliate against you. Besides, our dad’s imprisonment was because of her. She probably feels guilty about what happened to our family.”Hearing her brother explain it that way, Maria’s fragile state of mind began to rebuild itself.Right. Adriana was the guilty one. She had no r

“Finished?”Adriana checked out of the hotel and spotted Calvin standing in the lobby, smoking off to the side.His suave appearance caught the attention of both men and women passing by.People might think he was just standing there casually, but the air around him was practically electric with presence.Adriana was surprised. “Why didn’t you leave?”When he first came, Calvin had said he was just passing by and offered her a ride. Had he come back again after handling his own business—just to pick her up?Calvin said simply, “Let’s go.”Adriana had no idea that just moments earlier, Calvin had still been upstairs. After seeing her safely into the room, he had stood guard outside, holding the room card in his hand—ready to burst in at any sign of trouble.Now, the car had started. Calvin glanced at Adriana sitting in the passenger seat.“You’ve been delayed in the UK for a while. Planning to go back to New York soon?”Adriana thought he might be changing his mind. “My uncle…”“When h

Calvin pulled out the empty chair beside Adriana and settled into it with graceful ease. “You guys chat,” he said.The casual posture was so natural, it made both Adriana and David choke at the same time.From a man’s perspective, the most eye-catching thing was undoubtedly Calvin’s aggressively handsome face—striking no matter the setting. Next was his clothing: unbranded, yet clearly expensive and elegant. When the ten-million-pound watch on his wrist caught the light, David’s pupils shrank slightly in surprise.Even living in the prestigious legal circle, David had never seen a man with such an aura of pride.He tugged at the corner of his mouth awkwardly. “Who is this?”Adriana had just mentioned her friend wasn’t in the UK, and now Calvin had abruptly disrupted that narrative. How could she explain this?“He’s—”Calvin suddenly leaned in close to Adriana. A hint of gentleness shimmered in his reef-like eyes. His lips brushed close to her ear, his breath warm against her skin. “Wh

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

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

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
