Carson asked, “How much do you know about Sebastian?”Adriana told the truth. “What I should have known.”“Oh…” Carson touched the cigarette case clamped between his fingers, hesitated, and then put it back. “What I’m about to say might change your perception of justice. Sebastian doesn’t always operate by common sense.”“I understand. I’ve heard some rumors about Professor Sebastian. They say he can saber-rattle and resort to extraordinary means to win. But to me, it just sounds like routine maneuvering—nothing worth making a fuss over.”Hearing Adriana speak so frankly, Carson snorted and laughed. “I was wondering why Sebastian would make an exception and take on your case. You two are quite the pair.”Then, Carson revealed the real reason Tony’s case was won.Sebastian had gone to the detention center to see Tony. No one knew what was said between them, but Tony went completely silent afterward—didn’t speak for three days. On the fourth day, he met with Sebastian again. After that,

Adriana closed the door with a flick of her hand and raised her smiling face.“Director Aidan, what are your instructions?”Aidan saw that she was in a good mood and rubbed the bridge of his nose.“Bold of you. I thought you'd be fighting with Carson.”“How could I? I have to make a living. Hitting the leader would be a death sentence.”“So... are you doing anything tonight?”Aidan, whose head felt like it was about to explode, really couldn’t get out of it. If he didn’t bring Adriana home to deal with the situation, his parents would kill him for not dragging home their 'future daughter-in-law.'Adriana tilted her head. “Another blind date?”“No, no!” Aidan scratched his ear, scrambling for an excuse. “My parents have been wanting to invite you to dinner for a while. Last time, you couldn’t make it, but now they’re really insisting.”Adriana looked confused. “You haven’t explained to them?”Aidan laughed sheepishly. He didn’t want to. If he did, he’d be handed a string of blind dates

Calvin’s phone calls kept coming one after another.Adriana drank half her coffee but gave up waiting—an internal emergency forced her to head to the restroom first.While drying her hands, she happened to run into Nancy coming out of one of the stalls.With a timid expression, Nancy bowed and apologized again. “Thank you, Lawyer Clarke!”Adriana said calmly, “It’s in the past.”Nancy looked around to make sure no one else was nearby, then leaned in a little closer.“Lawyer Clarke, recently there have been rumors spreading in the company. They say you used your uncle just to get close to the president, and that...”Adriana, already expecting the gossip to be far from kind, didn’t react. “What else?”“They’re saying the president has been bribed by you. He and Anna are getting engaged, and you’re just a temporary fling. They even call you a vixen… saying a small-time lawyer like you is trying to steal a man from the daughter of Phantom Group.”Adriana listened with a faint smile, neith

His intentional making of things difficult for her was not a one-time thing. Adriana asked casually, “What else do you want? Just say it.”The sense of distance between them was precise and well-measured. Calvin wanted to throw a fit but couldn’t find a justifiable reason. He simply looked at her, eyes narrowing slightly. “Was it Aidan’s phone?”At the moment, all he knew was that Aidan was her senior back in the country.Adriana was a little worried Calvin might be working behind the scenes to cause trouble for Aidan. Her response was vague, “I just returned to the country and have a lot of work on my plate that isn’t done yet. If there’s nothing urgent, let’s talk another time. Is that okay?”That last question was only out of politeness. She just wanted a yes.Calvin didn’t like to play slow. “In my opinion, no.”Adriana cursed inwardly. How did I not realize before how shameless he could be? “Then what?”After confirming the time, Calvin picked up the car keys from the table. “Go

Adriana recognized the auntie—she lived in the middle household on the same floor. They had met before in the elevator, once when the woman had been carrying heavy things.“Yeah, just renovated,” Adriana said. “Came to check it out.”The auntie glanced at the unfamiliar man standing next to her. Her eyes lit up with curiosity as she smiled and asked, “This handsome young man—is he your boyfriend? You two look good together! He must be at least one meter ninety, right? So tall and handsome.”Adriana quickly explained, “No, he’s not.”Calvin looked at the plainly dressed woman, radiating small-town gossip vibes. Though he rarely smiled, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. “She will be moving in a few months. She’ll be living on her own, so I’ll need to help her out when needed.”The auntie was momentarily shaken by his smile, a little flustered.“Oh, that’s great. She’s such a good girl—helped me carry things once. So pretty and fair-skinned, and kind too. And those legs—my eyes n

Adriana didn’t want Aidan to see her getting out of Calvin’s car, so she asked him to pull over about a hundred meters in advance.How could Calvin not know what she was thinking? But with a quick push of the gas, the car surged forward, roaring past the spot, and stopped steadily at the restaurant’s main entrance.The contrast between the luxurious Rolls-Royce and the modest Western-style restaurant was striking enough to make passersby sigh.Adriana’s fists clenched, her patience wearing thin. “Calvin, is this supposed to be funny?”Calvin’s face was illuminated by the restaurant sign, alternating cold blue and eerie purple lights washing over his features. “Very funny,” he replied.Adriana glanced left and right, making sure Aidan wasn’t in sight, then opened the car door and slipped out from the side facing away from the restaurant.Unexpectedly, Calvin also unbuckled his seatbelt and followed her out, his tall, handsome frame now aligned with the giant billboard above. The popula

Threaten her?Adriana's fingers brushed the leaves of the green plant on the terrace. From the reflection in the glass, she looked at the blurred silhouette of Calvin. He had said it was a dinner date with Henry, yet she hadn't seen a trace of either of them. Was he implying that others dared not treat him unfairly?“It’s fine. Since you know them, it’s only right for you to take the initiative to greet them. After all, they’re elders.”She couldn’t see Calvin’s expression through the glass, but the cold, low laugh that came through the phone was enough for her to imagine that his face didn’t look pleasant.“You and that senior of yours worked so hard to put on a show. Aren’t you afraid I’ll expose you?”Adriana wanted to say, You’re ridiculous.But thinking of the outrageous things he’d done today, she couldn’t predict what he’d do next. She calmed herself and replied, “Both unmarried, both single—why pretend? It's better to explore whether we’re compatible. Whether it works out or n

Empty. Private. Slanderous.A few simple words, but strung together, they exploded with meaning.A huge wave crashed through Rene’s mind.Aidan’s expression shifted immediately. “Did Calvin and Miss Blake…”The supposed informant—Adriana—said nothing. She pinched her fork and got ready to savor the new dish that had just been served as if none of it concerned her.Calvin spoke calmly, “Private matter. No comment.”See? Trying to get Calvin to say something he didn’t want to was harder than going to the moon.Adriana took small, measured bites of her food. This was just how things were. Panicking and stressing wouldn’t change anything—better to handle it with composure.Rene, meanwhile, was reminded of his recent dealings with the Blakes. Not long ago, he had run into Karl at a cocktail party. The man had been glowing—red-faced, all smiles, clearly treating Calvin as a son-in-law already. It felt like Phantom was one step away from soaring to new heights on the back of that marriage al

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
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 295 Are you police?
Scar couldn’t help but feel terrified. Adriana knew he wasn’t a core team member, and she didn’t expect him to hold any key information—but each knock on the door was another ray of hope.Adriana didn’t mince words. “I’m going to ask you a few simple questions. Answer them truthfully. Once we find out you’ve lied, forget saving your life—you won’t even walk out of this place alive.”Scar weighed his options. Based on their words, could they be trusted?However, he had no choice. A good man shouldn’t have to lie—but this woman was right: even if he escaped, his big brother would never trust him again. After a moment, he nodded. “You ask. I’ll tell you everything I know.”Calvin stood diagonally behind Adriana, one hand in his pants pocket, the other ready to protect immediately.The vegetable cellar was cramped and stifling, but Adriana felt as if Calvin’s presence purified the air. Whenever he stood near her, it seemed to grow clear and fresh.“How old are you?”Scar froze. Why is she
