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, “Counselor Clarke, please don’t mind him. He is quite a straightforward person and doesn’t like others' hypocritical behavior. He is a little chivalrously style.”

Mark didn’t think it was chivalry. He put cold arrows everywhere. To be honest, it was very ungentlemanly. “Albany is not too big or a small city and it’s a fate that we can meet. So, why don’t we laugh off the enmity?”

He 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. “I 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, “I’m just saying we can try.”Adriana slowly lowered her head and was about to zap the bowl with frustration.Mark noticed and asked, “Are you okay?”Adriana put down her cutlery, already full of anger. “I’m going to the bathroom.”****“Adriana, it’s been a long time!”She hadn’t expected Anna to follow her.Adriana frowned and asked, “What? Do you want something from me?”Anna put her arm around Adriana’s shoulder and spoke with a smile, “You’re progressing quite fast. By the way, who was the one eating with you just now?”Adriana scowled. “It’s none of your business!”“You’ve been divorced for so long, so it’s normal to find a boyfriend. But you can’t be that desperate and target a married man! Didn’t you see the wedding ring on his finger? Or are you just in a hurry to be the third party?”Adriana shot back, “Confessing your feelings in publ

    "He doesn’t love you!"Adriana’s 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 wouldn’t have just stood aside and watched her family go bankrupt. He wouldn’t 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 didn’t love her.She still remembered that night—standing 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 didn’t even look at her, let alone say a word.If the butler hadn’t dragged her away, maybe she would have died that night.If her body hadn’t been battered to its limits, she wouldn’t have...The pain in her heart constricted, as though it had been thrown into a blender, shattering and slicing into her

    The case is already over, and they are not partners anymore!Ask her to go over there!Dream on!Adriana didn’t bother and put her phone back into her bag.Except for having a good background, what else does Anna have? Her face didn’t look good, her heart was as back as coal, and she put so much makeup on her face that one couldn’t even see her true skin. Adriana resents this kind of person the most, and she hates Calvin even more who wants to get married to her.Seeing Adriana’s reaction, Calvin raised his eyebrows slightly.****What Adriana had said earlier kept repeating in Anna’s mind like a film and because of this she felt a little strange to be standing with Calvin, “Calvin, where is your car?”They had a little drink in the evening, so she couldn’t drive. Moreover, she hadn’t informed her driver as at a time like this it’s supposed to be the man who takes the woman home.However, Calvin didn’t have self-consciousness at all, “I still have something to do.

    Calvin lifted his arm, and his fingers frivolously slid from her brow bone to her chin. He moved closer to her, shortening the distance between them.Ten centimeters, five centimeters, one centimeter… he didn’t stop until when their lips were only an inch apart from each other. If they moved a little, their lips would touch each other.“A dog wagging its tail begging for mercy from me dares to be compared to a canary raised in a cage. You don’t mind the fishy smell on your body, aren’t you afraid that others will be disgusted that you are dirty?”“Oh, so there are still some things in the world that Calvin Walker is no good at, such as cursing. You should learn from Miss Blake how to curse people without repetition.”No one was around, so Adriana was not worried about being seen by anyone. She stepped on her high heels and took a half step closer to the man’s chest, tilting her head. Although she was short in height, she was not afraid at all. “No, I also feel dirty. When I think of m

    It was the first time Calvin had heard Adriana scold him using his full name.She was so angry that her face stiffened, her forehead bulged with misplaced veins, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with endless fury.His deep, unhurried gaze ran over her face as if he were admiring a small wildcat blowing up in his master’s hand. “What do you think I want? Anyone who betrays me has to pay, and the only thing about you that interests me is your dying breath.”Adriana laughed bitterly, her heart weary, her once-erect posture now wilting feebly. “I didn’t betray you.”But she couldn’t say, ‘I love you with all my heart. I just didn’t think so much would happen behind my back,’ nor did she want to justify the fragmented memories of the past six years.After pausing for a moment, she said, “By the end of next week, after the implementation, you and I will return to our original worlds. Before then, I’ll move out of the Green Wick complex. You lost your money, and I lost six years of my

    His tone was softer, as though he had learned how to listen and care more about others.Indeed, love had the power to change everything. Business marriages might be for show, but the one he had chosen appeared to be his true love.Rose explained, “The bad weather delayed the flight by an hour. Did you have to wait long?”Calvin shook his head. “No.”Adriana couldn’t help but think sarcastically, Of course not! He wasn’t idle for a moment. When you weren’t here, he had both his new lover and old lover to keep him entertained. How lively.Noticing that Calvin didn’t seem ready to leave, Rose said thoughtfully, “You two talk. I’ll wait for you in the car.”Calvin nodded and instructed Eric, “Come along.”Rose smiled at Adriana once more before following Calvin’s lead.Her tall, elegant figure contrasted with Calvin’s composed demeanor, adding

    Adriana sighed. “Don’t give me any blueprints for the future. I’ve got a headache. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up!”“Did you check your temperature? Do you have a fever? If you’re running a fever, you must take medicine. Your brain is your most precious asset—don’t fry it!”Adriana smirked. “Maybe I’ll give Mark a call and tell him I’m ready to accept his offer.”“Don’t you dare! I’m not joking with you! Anyway, I’ll hang up first.”After putting her phone down, Adriana walked back to her bedroom, collapsed onto her bed, and drifted off to sleep again.****When she woke up, the sun was already setting.She had spent the entire day in a daze. Her cold hadn’t improved, and she was certain she had a fever when she felt her forehead. With no choice, she got dressed and prepared to get some medicine.

    This time, it was a male doctor with glasses, in his fifties or sixties, with a kind face.Seeing Henry’s panicked expression, he adopted a familiar tone and said, “How old are you? Why are you still fussing like a child? This is a hospital, not a railway station where you rushing to check tickets.”Henry, with a playful smile, used his usual charm reserved for elders, seemingly unfazed by how incongruous it appeared for a man over six feet tall. “Special circumstances call for special treatment,” he replied.The doctor glanced behind Henry and asked, “Changed your girlfriend again?”Adriana opened her mouth to explain, but Henry cut in, “Uncle Smith, let’s not worry about that now. Treating the patient comes first.”He pressed Adriana into the chair and stood slightly to the side. “She has a fever—thirty-nine degrees,” he reported.Smith Jones gave Adriana a brief

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
