Jessica sidled over and whispered, “Lawyer Clarke, is Eric farting? Is this true?”

Adriana pressed her palms on the documents, her slender fingers clasping her manicured, rounded nails. “Don’t you meet with Peace every day?”

Jessica choked. “Lawyer Clarke, this is not the time to dwell on that. If Eric is telling the truth, we were very passive.”

Adriana said, “Don’t panic. Make your statement first.”

Jessica had asked to be the lead attorney in order to claim a larger share of the attorney’s fee, and Adriana had allowed it.

Jessica stood up, nodded to the people at the table, and unfolded the documents. Because of Eric’s words, she lacked confidence, and when she finished her statement, she saw the presiding judge frowning.

Her heart skipped a beat.

“Just a moment, I would like to add something!”

In the tense atmosphere, Adriana stood up and nodded to the court. “Presiding Judge, Your Honors, Prosecution Counsel, I would like to draw your attention to something.”

    It had been a while since Adriana had seen Mark. She nodded and smiled. “Lawyer Mark is also in court today?”Mark gave a slight nod. “Just finished. Waiting for the verdict. What about you?”There was no excessive expression, no unnecessary movements—just the right amount of detached courtesy, like a spring breeze.Adriana looked a little down and half-jokingly explained, “Lawyer Thompson and I are opponents today. He’s really tough. The case is still in a deadlock and will be adjourned until next week.”Mark listened attentively and nodded. Then he looked at Eric. “Lawyer Thompson is outstanding and a senior figure in the industry. He can teach you a lot—she’s still young, after all.”His tone remained calm and distant, carrying the composed air of someone in a higher position.Eric gave a cold sneer. “Didn’t you once lose a case against her? Are you still

    Jessica was stunned. “You… went to Moon Bay?”“You can go, but I can’t?” Adriana replied matter-of-factly.As a partner, Jessica had absolutely no intention of working side by side with Adriana. She constantly avoided her, kept her out of the loop while gathering evidence, and never communicated progress—clearly isolating her.But Jessica had miscalculated. Even without her, Adriana could still get exactly what she needed.Jessica had already lost her momentum. At this point, all she felt was bitter irony. She had gone through so much trouble—had even considered tricks like baiting law enforcement—yet still lost to the seemingly silent and composed Adriana.“Of course, you can go,” Jessica said stiffly. “I’m just sad that you didn’t disclose anything to me. Director Aidan said we should work together, but I never once felt like we were teammates.”Adri

    Soon, Adriana heard her sister-in-law’s cheerful laughter. “Adria! Our little restaurant is finally going to open! Your brother and I are becoming famous in the community for our cooking!”Adriana’s eyes turned warm. “That must be your influence! My brother never used to cook at home!”Austin overheard his sister’s teasing and chimed in to defend himself. “Don’t talk nonsense! When you wanted lotus egg in the middle of the night, who got up and made it for you? You little heartless brat!”“Hahaha! Brother, you really know how to hold a grudge!”Their mother was then called away by her daughter-in-law to check on something in the kitchen. Austin took over the phone and found a quiet spot. His tone softened.“Adria, tell me the truth. How’s life in New York? Is it really good?”Adriana hated when her brother spoke so seriously—it always poked at her heart and made it harder to hold back tears. “It’s pretty good, really. Brother, don’t you believe me?”“Of course I believe you. But you s

    Calvin’s thin lips seemed to have built a wall—tightly sealed, guarded, and unable to speak freely.She had said thank you. So be it. As long as she was still willing to speak to him at all, it was enough… for now.He watched as Adriana, struggling slightly, put on her clothes and shoes, then walked across the carpeted foyer, nearly disappearing from view.Suddenly, Calvin quickened his pace. “Adriana!”Adriana grabbed her handbag without turning around. “What do you want?”Calvin stood beneath the chandelier—a heavy, ornate French piece that looked as though it might crash down at any moment, weighing on him like the emotions pressing in from all sides.Whirling around, he grabbed a handful of car keys from the key box. Without even bothering to change out of his slippers, he crossed the room in a few strides, unlocked the door, and said, “I’ll take you back. You can’t drive in this condition.”“No need! I can walk. I know the way. It’s not so bad that I can’t even find my own home.”

    He didn’t move, letting her grab his hand. Her slender fingers seemed to have captured the criminal and were inflicting punishment.“Are you awake?”Not a dream. Then she was even more confused.“Why are you in my room? How did you get in?”Calvin frowned. “Huh?”Adriana’s head was still a bit groggy. “I know what I’m talking about. Why are you in my house?”“Know what you’re talking about?” Calvin put down the towel and glanced toward the window. “Look carefully—whose house is this?”Adriana’s mind was dull and sluggish, but her eyes worked fine. She looked at the familiar floor-to-ceiling windows, the black curtains, the large and empty stepped bedroom. It was Calvin’s home.But how did she get here?Calvin saw the doubt in her eyes and assumed she couldn’t remember. “What was Baldwin looking for you for?”At the mention of Baldwin’s name, Calvin’s expression froze, as if he had just been doused in a night of heavy snow and turned into a snowman.Adriana suddenly remembered what had
