Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 32 She is not quite simple
Back in the morning, at Calvinâs office.After finishing a meeting, Calvin was about to open another file when his cell phone rang. He glanced at the screenâit was a call from his grandfather.Sometimes, he suspected his grandfather had planted spies to watch him.âDonât even think about rejecting me,â his grandfatherâs authoritative voice came through. âIâve arranged a meeting with Anna at seven oâclock. Go and meet her. This matter cannot be delayed any further.âCalvinâs eyes were sore from staring at documents and his computer all day. He pinched his brow, the faint lines on his forehead deepening. âGrandpa, what if she stands me up?âGeorge responded in his usual confident tone, âThe Blake family facilitated this meeting, so that wonât happen.ââIn that case, why should I hurry?â Calvin asked, his voice calm yet laced with sarcasm. âGrandpa, ever since I was a child, you taught me to always stand tall and never lower myself. And I learned that lesson well.âGeorge chuckled, sensi

Calvin was too lazy to even glance at the details of the two men. He didnât know them personally, but he was well-acquainted with their fathers, who still had to greet him politely whenever they met.Kevin noticed the time and gently reminded him, âSir, shall we leave now?âCalvin hadnât been paying attention to the clock. It was only the sinking afterglow of the sun outside his window that hinted at the passage of time.âWhatâs the hurry?â Calvin said nonchalantly. âLet her wait a while and see how sincere the Blake family is about this marriage.âKevin discreetly glanced at his watch. It was already seven oâclock. Fortunately, the meeting location was only ten minutes away, so the delay wasnât excessive. Yet, he couldnât help but feel that his bossâs attitude was typically arrogant, taking things for granted as usual.Whether in work or life, Calvinâs natural authority drew people to flatter and curry favor with him.The two men sat silently in front of the floor-to-ceiling window,

Anna knew that George didnât like childish and ignorant girls, and wanted to find a granddaughter-in-law who understood things and knew what was going on inside and out. So, she smiled in a dignified manner and said, âThe restaurant environment is too beautiful. I was just too engrossed in enjoying the scenery and didnât really care about the time.âCalvin sits across her, crossing his long legs. His body movements are casual. For no reason born out of self-confidence, there are three impetuous, âI like this attitude.âAnna picked up the glass of juice with one hand, showing the rose Cartier fine bracelet on her white wrist, and translucent nude pink manicure. All the details are well-matched. Sitting in the carved beams, wearing the dress with Tencel fabric, she showed the beauty of a gentle and soft woman.âEven though I had stayed abroad for a long time and had seen many foreign beautiful things and people, I still couldnât help but miss our country. For example, the redfish in the

Itâs been three years, but some people are still spoiled with their stink!Adriana doesnât understand why some people like to book the whole venue just for a meal. Did they have a lot of money?âMark turned back only to see a man and woman sitting not far away. The woman had her back towards him, so he couldnât see her. As for the man, he looks very eye-catching and he can tell from a glance that he was not an ordinary guy. He had met many financial circle tycoons, but he didnât have any impression of the man sitting in front of him.âMe and my friend just came here to have a simple meal. Donât worry, we wonât affect them to talk about their love.âThis was the first time he had invited Adriana to dinner. If they were kicked out in the middle of the meal, how could he face her in the future?The managerâs face darkened. If it was someone else there might be a room for negotiation, but the other person was Calvin Walker.âI am sorry, I am afraidâĶâThe manager hadnât been able to comple

Adriana was speechless. She didnât want to have anything to do with this Blake family princess, but she had been targeting her at every turn. It was obvious that she was looking for trouble.They had no grudges in the past, and the only common thing they had crossed paths with was Calvin.Now she and Calvin have long been separated and will have nothing to do with each other in the future. However, Anna seems to have been taking her as her imaginary enemy, and Adriana is not very happy with such an incitement. So, she is prickly when she opens her mouth again.Adriana smiled generously as she said, âBeing a Lawyer is quite good, as we can see through people. For example, from your temperament I can tell that your identity must not be simple, right? However, everyone is not like you. I had a friend, who was once tricked by a woman. She always put on so much makeup, hiding her true face, looking all vulgar. I donât know how people get fascinated by it?âAdriana smiled brightly as she sa

Adriana knew that he was insulting her and her hands shook with anger.Anna snickered. She thought that Calvin was still in love with Adriana, but now she saw that he simply hated her!Calvin is someone who loves his face so much, however, he still openly ridicules Adriana in front of outsiders. One can see how much hatred he had in his heart for her.Unconsciously, she straightened up, inclined her head to look at the right-hand side, âCounselor Clarke, please donât mind him. He is quite a straightforward person and doesnât like others' hypocritical behavior. He is a little chivalrously style.âMark didnât think it was chivalry. He put cold arrows everywhere. To be honest, it was very ungentlemanly. âAlbany is not too big or a small city and itâs a fate that we can meet. So, why donât we laugh off the enmity?âHe said as he raised his glass.However, no one responded to him.The atmosphere was a little awkward.After a long time, Mark sardonically put down his wine glass. âI was so f

Adriana could tell that Anna was pointing at her, alluding to how her marriage with Calvin had ended back then.Anna bowed her head and said, âIâm just saying we can try.âAdriana slowly lowered her head and was about to zap the bowl with frustration.Mark noticed and asked, âAre you okay?âAdriana put down her cutlery, already full of anger. âIâm going to the bathroom.â****âAdriana, itâs been a long time!âShe hadnât expected Anna to follow her.Adriana frowned and asked, âWhat? Do you want something from me?âAnna put her arm around Adrianaâs shoulder and spoke with a smile, âYouâre progressing quite fast. By the way, who was the one eating with you just now?âAdriana scowled. âItâs none of your business!ââYouâve been divorced for so long, so itâs normal to find a boyfriend. But you canât be that desperate and target a married man! Didnât you see the wedding ring on his finger? Or are you just in a hurry to be the third party?âAdriana shot back, âConfessing your feelings in publ

"He doesnât love you!"Adrianaâs face remained as calm as water, but her heart shattered, and the sharp pain cut through to her very bones.If Calvin had truly loved her, he wouldnât have just stood aside and watched her family go bankrupt. He wouldnât have stayed silent when the debtors blocked their door, pouring filthy water over her family and dragging their names through the mud. No matter how much she pleaded and cried before him, he had remained indifferent.He just didnât love her.She still remembered that nightâstanding outside his door, soaked by the pouring rain for hours, crying until her voice turned hoarse. But no matter how hard she begged, he never opened the door. He didnât even look at her, let alone say a word.If the butler hadnât dragged her away, maybe she would have died that night.If her body hadnât been battered to its limits, she wouldnât have...The pain in her heart constricted, as though it had been thrown into a blender, shattering and slicing into her

Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 304 Moon Bay Clubhouse
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
âThank you for the invitation, but today is obviously not suitable for a door-to-door visit. Iâll treat you to dinner another day as a thank-you for your frequent help over the past two days, whether itâs rare for you or not.âAdriana didnât give Calvin a chance to respond. Today, she would not set foot in his house againâno matter what.A man and a woman in a closed spaceâit was easy to make irrational decisions, especially for a woman. The atmosphere could quickly lead to something impulsive. And besides, she wasnât entirely immune to Calvinâs charm.Calvin stood calmly outside the car door, noting the resistance in her eyes.âVery well. Iâll wait for Lawyer Clarkeâs thank-you banquet!âHe was testing Adrianaâs boundaries little by little, figuring out how to get along with her.The corner of Adrianaâs mouth twitched into a polite smile. âGoodbye.âTurning the car around, Adriana gripped the steering wheel. The open window let in fresh air, and the sunlight warmed her face. The most

âHuh?âKevin thought heâd misheard. âGreen Lake Village? The village you went to yesterday, President?ââYes,â Calvin replied. âEspecially the house on the hillâTonyâs place. Fix it up for the old woman. Send some furniture and get everything properly arranged. You can take care of the details.âAdriana glanced at his serious profile as he focused on driving. Her earlier embarrassment vanished in an instant, and her heart gave a subtle flutter.Kevinâs brain short-circuited for a second, then quickly caught up. âUnderstood, President. Iâll contact a construction team and arrange everything on site.âThe call ended, and the car fell silent again.Adriana touched the bridge of her nose. âUm, Iâll thank you on their behalf.âCalvin chuckled. âIs the next thing youâre going to say, âYouâre a good personâ?âWellâĶ that was almost exactly what she was about to say. But saying something like that now? With everything going on? It feltâĶ a bit out of place.Calvin added, âYou 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.âLawyer Clarke,â he said, âif you want something, just say it straight. Thereâs no need for adults to play games.âAdriana awkwardly lowered her head and cleared her throat. âCalvin, please watch your words. Can you not always say things that make people misunderstand? Like this morning, and just nowâwhat exactly did you mean? Is there nothing else in your head besides that?âCalvin responded casually, âWhich sentence did you misunderstand? Misunderstand what? Lawyer Clarke, please be specific. Maybe Iâll consider changing.âAdriana clenched her teeth and rolled her eyes at him, but couldnât bring herself to explain further. âIn short, itâs uncomfortable to hear.âWhen they found the car, Adriana was ready to hop into the driverâs seat, but Calvin pulled her toward the opposite side and shoved her gently into the passenger seat.âBe honestâsit. Iâll driv
Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 298 The Little Prince
Calvinâs identity couldnât be exposed. Once everyone knew he was the president of Grand Empireâthe young master of the Walker familyâwouldnât that cause chaos?That was Adrianaâs 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, âI am his personal lawyer. If there are any problems, Iâll handle them.âCalvin looked at Adriana. She was a bit disheveled, but still stunningly beautiful. This wasnât something they had discussed in advance, and yet she had reacted purely on instinct. If he couldnât see that she cared, then he wouldnât be Calvin.A faint smile tugged at his lips, like the first rays of a new sun piercing through the morning mistâjust enough to gently light up the dull earth around them.The local cops werenât used to handling major cases. They hadnât dealt with many lawyers before, so they didnât 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 shouldnât 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. âWhy hasnât anyone come yet?âCalvin replied, âThe nearest police station is in town. With their efficiency, weâll be lucky if they arrive before dawn.âAdriana sighed, "Yeah... there are just some things you have to know and accept."âAre you just going to stand there? Planning to turn into a statue?âShe patted the dirt next to her, then thought better of it and pulled some hay over to make a rough cushion. âDonât be shy, big brother. Sit down. Who knows how long weâll be stuck here?âScar chimed in, âThose guys are seriously unreliable. Might as well sit and wait.âHearing a gangster complain about the police made Adriana laugh. âFrom the sound of it, youâve had some experience?âScar scratched his head, embarrassed. âNot too many timesâĶâThe 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 â520.â
Calvin listened as Adriana halfâchatted, halfâjoked, halfâbluffedâeffortlessly weaving her way into Scarâs mind and pulling out all his secrets. He couldnât help but be impressed again.Was the girl he used to know really Adriana?He spoke calmly. âWhereâs the rope?âAdriana looked around carefully and had to admit the truth. âThe rope was yanked away.âIn the darkness, she couldnât clearly see Calvinâs expressionâbut she didnât need to. He was probably frowning. That was one of his little habits. Maybe he hadnât noticed it himself, but whenever he was annoyed or in a bad mood, he always squeezed his eyebrows togetherâand the depth of that crease depended on the seriousness of the situation.Scar cursed under his breath. âSon of a bitch! Bunch of assholes!âAdriana glanced up at the caveâs entrance, eyeballing its height, then turned to Calvin.âCan you fly up there?âScar stared in disbelief. âYouâĶ can fly?âCalvin frowned. âNo.âAdriana pursed her lips. Her body was exhaustedâthere
