Adriana pursed her lips. Of course, she didn’t dare to think Calvin would let it go so easily. He was like a drawn knife—once out, it wouldn't return to its sheath without drawing blood.

“To put it bluntly,” she said, “this all started with your engagement to Anna. I helped you expose her, and now she’s teaming up with Ray to retaliate against me, eventually provoking Aidan into fighting. It wasn’t right for him to throw a punch—but don’t you bear some responsibility for what happened?”

Calvin slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a long finger. The vivid red on his skin was glaring.

“This is your idea of pleading for mercy and admitting fault, Miss Clarke?” he asked coldly.

His biting tone made Adriana falter. She instinctively stepped back half a pace to steady herself.

“Well… at least I helped you cancel the engagement,” she offered quietly.

Calvin gave a low, derisive laugh. “Bruce is still in prison. Do you really think you’re in a position to negotiate with me

    Aidan’s punch stunned everyone present.Anna covered her mouth tightly, or she would have screamed.Snow’s heart, pulled taut like a string, suddenly snapped, leaving only instinctive fear racing through her mind. It’s over, she thought. She was afraid Aidan’s life would end today because of this.Aidan himself, however, felt no fear at all—not for his life or for what might happen next. Instead, he stared at Calvin with wide, furious eyes. Every word he spoke burned with rage from the depths of his soul.“This punch is for Adriana. I know you have power and status. If you want me dead, I probably won’t live to see the sunrise tomorrow. But remember this—even if you kill me, I’ll still make you pay for what you did to Adriana!”Adriana’s eyes welled with warmth. The uneasiness that had been lingering in her heart began to melt.Aidan knew Calvin’s identity and understood his influence. Yet he still fought for her. His defiance may have been reckless—some might even call it foolish bra

    “Risk your reputation?” Adriana’s voice was calm. “Indeed, once Miss Blake’s secrets hidden in the dark come to light, it won’t just be you—Phantom Group will be implicated as well.”“So what? At worst, we’ll both go down together! No matter the cost, I’ll take you with me!”Adriana gave a faint smile but said nothing.One thing had led to another, and Anna, thrown off balance by Adriana’s composure, unknowingly fell into her trap.Only after venting her anger did Anna realize her mistake. But there was no going back now.Adriana remained composed. She hadn’t expected Anna to unravel so easily. A pampered young lady who's never faced hardship really can’t handle being cornered. Adriana understood; she had once been the same. Back then, she couldn’t tolerate a single misstep and would rather die than yield. She had suffered deeply in the workplace to learn better.People’s hearts are built on resilience.“If Miss Blake really wants me dead, it’s not that hard,” Adriana said lightly. “T

    Snow carefully tugged on Adriana’s sleeve, her voice low enough that only the two of them could hear. “Dear, what’s going on? Why are they all showing up together?”Adriana was worried about Snow getting into a big fight with Ray—especially with Calvin’s stern presence here. Provoking him now would only lead to more trouble later. She instructed calmly, “The situation is what you see—a coincidence. But you need to stay composed today. We still have plenty of ways to deal with Ray. Don’t forget the people I arranged for you. So don’t panic. Stay steady.”Snow nodded. She wasn’t afraid of Ray, but she was intimidated by Calvin’s cold, imposing presence in the corridor. “I know today is important. You’re the main focus. I’ll do as you say.”Adriana wordlessly pinched the back of her hand—a gesture of both support and seriousness.Ray’s faint, cli

    So this was the so-called "presentiment"—so soon?It had been a long time since she’d seen Ray, and only earlier today had she explained Maria’s outburst. It was almost fortunate, in a way, that she ran into him now.Adriana looked up. Her cool, indifferent gaze was neither friendly nor hostile.“Mr. Ray.”A cold greeting—devoid of warmth or politeness.They were never meant to be allies, and there was no need to keep up appearances. Even if she pretended to be cheerful, it wouldn’t change anything. Ray wouldn’t show her mercy.Ray curled one side of his mouth into a contemptuous smile—blatant enough that it didn’t need interpreting. With one hand in his pocket, he sneered, “Lawyer Clarke, something good happen? You look awfully cheerful.”Adriana replied flatly, “Whether I’m happy or not doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Mr. Ray William.&

    Having lived among New York’s high society for a few years and come into contact with quite a few celebrities and aristocrats, Maria immediately asked, “Global Entertainment’s Ray William? Eastern William’s only son?”“That’s him.”Maria wasn’t sure what Adriana was up to this time, but her instincts told her it would be even more difficult than the last task. She couldn’t help but ask, “Do you have a personal grudge against him?”She remembered Ray was Calvin’s friend. Shouldn’t he be on good terms with Adriana? Then why did Adriana’s expression show such obvious dislike?Adriana never suspected others lightly, never used people carelessly, and never hid the truth from Maria. “He used despicable means to hurt my friend. But the real target… is me. It’s not that I hold a grudge—it’s that he’s prejudiced against me. And if I don’t strike first, he’s going to make his move soon.”Maria nodded instinctively as she listened. She was starting to believe Adriana’s words. Deep down, she felt

    Calvin stood alone in the smoking area, lighting a cigarette and leaning against the parapet.He drew in a deep mouthful of smoke, letting it burn through his lungs.(The young madam even asked me to teach her how to make a fish cake... but it was hard for her. She was a true lady — ten fingers never touching spring water. She burned her fingers, blistered them, but never said a word about the pain.)Fish cakes — such a distant memory.If Emily hadn’t pried open that forgotten gate of memory, perhaps Calvin would never have remembered it again in his life.It had been late — well after 1:00 a.m. — when he returned to New York after a long inspection trip at the England branch.The living room was dimly lit by a single floor lamp.As he put down his luggage, he noticed Adriana curled up on the sofa, asleep.On the table beside her, a plate of fish cakes sat quietly, waiting for him.The next morning, as he passed the dining room, he spotted the plate again and frowned."Why didn’t you

  • Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife   Chapter 313 Did she asked about me?

    There was no need for Calvin to explicitly say anything; certain unspoken rules were already understood — Adriana knew them all.There was no point in going through the usual formalities again, not against someone like Darren, who couldn’t rise to the occasion.Calvin examined the clear light in her eyes and once again understood what Henry had meant when he said Adriana had changed.In the past, she wouldn't have shown such calmness; her gaze would not have carried the wisdom it held now."Keep your co-worker in check and don’t let her do anything reckless. But of course, if you want to use this chance to get rid of an inconvenient opponent, you can just let it slide."Adriana nodded. "I know what to do."The ambiguous tension between them slowly faded as the conversation unfolded. Calvin glanced around the room. "Rest early."He’s letting me off that easily? Adriana thought."Good night," she said, getting up to see him off, without the slightest intention of trying to make anything

    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
