Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 48 Dr. Charles' girlfriend
Meanwhile, the nurse came in to remove the needle, waking Adriana from her sleep.Adriana’s eyes fluttered open, heavy with fatigue. Her body felt limp, her head buzzing. “Can I leave the hospital once the drip is finished?” she murmured.The young nurse, who had checked on her several times to ensure she didn’t miss the time to remove the needle, smiled faintly.She had secretly admired Adriana’s beauty during those moments of quiet observation.Henry, the first male god of the hospital, was a favorite among the nurses and female doctors. They competed to bring him coffee, chocolates, meals, daily necessities, and even clothes.Yet, despite their efforts, it was known that Henry already had a formal girlfriend.Colleagues often speculated: if Dr. Charles were to make his relationship public, how beautiful and extraordinary must the woman be to win his heart?When she saw Adriana, the young nurse understood. Yes, only a woman so beautiful and so temperamental is worthy of Dr. Charles.

Calvin flicked the ash from his cigarette, his expression growing colder and more severe.“Dr. Charles. Lawyer.”The pieces of information formed a clear picture: Henry and Adriana.Calvin yanked the car door open but slammed it shut again before stepping out. His mind churned.Adriana was utterly shameless. She couldn’t even spare her ex-husband’s friends? And she wouldn’t bother clarifying any misunderstandings, even as rumors spread?Was she trying to secure influence over the hospital by cozying up to Henry? Was she so addicted to the power that any man in her orbit became a pawn?Serves her right, he thought bitterly. Falling ill was probably the cleanest way for someone like her to meet their end.Calvin stubbed out his cigarette, but the anger continued to smolder inside him.His phone rang, interrupting his dark thoughts.“Speak,” he snapped, his voice sharp.On the other end, Kevin hesitated, sensing his boss’s foul mood. Gritting his teeth, he pressed on. “President, we’ve d

Kevin pondered, finding it a little difficult to speculate. He said, “Miss Clarke, you helped the Grand Empire win the lawsuit, and your professional ability has been unanimously recognized. To be honest, our company’s legal department is also in need of talents like you. The president is probably trying to recruit you, hoping to find an excellent lawyer like yourself.”Adriana laughed. “The Grand Empire’s Legal Department doesn’t seem to lack excellent lawyers. Not to mention, you already have a fixed pool of talent, and it’s usually law firms scrambling to win Grand Empire’s bids. Are you really worried about a lack of talent?”Kevin replied politely, “Yes, so I’m not entirely sure what the president is thinking. Maybe he simply appreciates your talent, especially since you’re someone he knows from the past. To be honest…”Taking this opportunity, Kevin continued, “The president is usually extremely busy with work. A lot of things go unattended. Just now, we were on the phone discus

Only after completing the discharge procedures, did Adriana sent a message to Henry.Henry, exhausted from a late-night surgery, slept sprawled out. It was half past nine when he saw the message.Grabbing his phone, he ran toward the first floor, “Adriana, where are you?”Adriana was on her way home. She hadn’t changed her clothes from the night before and couldn’t wait to give herself a thorough shower. “You’re awake? I heard from the nurse that you had a several-hour surgery yesterday. Go get some more sleep.”“I’m a grown man; a few surgeries won’t kill me. Why did you leave without telling me? I still wanted to have breakfast with you. There’s a small restaurant in front of the hospital. Their grilled sandwiches and corn soup are very tasty.”Adriana thought to herself, If I’m still eating breakfast with you, won’t your coworkers have even more misunderstandings?“You should explain our relationship to your coworkers so it doesn’t get too awkward,” she said.“They’ve got tongues i

“You bastard! How dare you bully my Adria?”Snow cooperated by chasing after Aidan and beating him up.After the mess, they took their seats.Aidan sat on the stage, humming, just in time to serve as background music for the chatting duo.Snow looked toward Aidan, making sure he couldn’t hear their conversation, and asked, “The lawsuit between you and your ex-husband is over, right? I saw on the news that Grand Empire won the case. Does that mean you won’t have much interaction with him in the future?”Grand Empire attracts attention, and with him, the chicken and dog, the name of Justice Law Firm also holds weight. But as an acting lawyer, Adriana's name wasn’t mentioned by anyone.Adriana picked up a piece of apple, slowly biting into it. “There’s a little bit of finishing work left. Once it’s done, there won’t be any involvement with him. The lawsuit wasn’t as difficult as I imagined, and Grand Empire didn’t make things difficult for me. It was just a false alarm.”Snow said, “That

Aidan said, “Just say directly that you are free tomorrow.”Snow replied, “Am I not allowed to be euphemistic?”Adriana suggested, “Why don’t we get together tomorrow? I haven’t gone back to New York to look around the neighborhood yet.”Aidan said with disgust, “Your cold is still not over, and your nose has been dripping all night. Do you still want to go out? Stop. Let’s go hiking when you get better to give you some exercise.”Snow looked at Adriana, who had put on light makeup, but it couldn’t hide the gauntness of her eyes. She looked sickly, like she had been abused. “Baby, you’re at least a lawyer, part of the elite class. Can you not be so shabby?”Adriana wore a long spring dress with long sleeves covering the backs of her hands. The skirt was ankle-length, and she stepped on five-centimeter thin heels, which were moderate.Snow could tell that the dress was two seasons out of date.Adriana didn’t want to sell herself short, but she did seem a bit stingy with herself.Previo

She was only twenty years old and had just entered the entertainment industry when a dazzling opportunity beckoned. It was just…She hadn’t even given it to her first boyfriend… was she really going to sell herself for her career?There’s no shortage of people who go out and ‘socialize’ for the sake of getting to the top, but… once you open the floodgates, can you really get out in one piece?Ray took the cell phone back. "You don’t want to? Fine, I’ll have Director Lewis find someone else.""No! I want to!"The girl hugged Ray’s arm, seeming to make a determination. She said, "I am willing to… thank you, Mr. Ray, for giving me the opportunity."Ray replied, "Understand."When Henry arrived, the girl immediately took a seat next to him. She lowered her eyebrows, looking good and docile, like a little dove.Ray commented, "Be careful, it’s her first time."Henry didn’t seem to care much. As for her looks, she wasn’t better than in the photo shoots, but there was something about her unt

The woman’s tearful voice came through the phone. She sounded so aggrieved that it felt as if she could crawl through the screen and cling to his leg. “Ray, I made the sea cucumber soup you like and the strawberry pudding you said you wanted to try last time. I even took cooking classes and learned it from a famous pastry chef just to make it for you. So, come back and eat it, okay?”Ray bent down close to the mirror. A pimple marred his handsome face, sitting stubbornly on his chin. It wasn’t ripe enough to squeeze yet, much to his irritation.“When did I ever say I like sea cucumber soup? Oh… I remember now. But don’t tell me you actually believed that?”The woman was momentarily stunned and didn’t know how to respond. “Don’t you like it?”“Have you forgotten? You told me it was the only dish you knew how to make. Did I have a choice?” Ray replied. His tone dripped with impatience. “Let me be clear—I only said that to humor you. Do you understand?”The woman’s sobs grew louder on th

Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 307 If you’re scared, close your eyes, if not, watch closely
Calvin’s cold and clear presence stood out starkly in the room—like a noble eagle trapped among vultures. From the moment he sat down, the atmosphere shifted. It was as if this seedy box suddenly became a royal court, simply because he was in it.Adriana had to admit, deep down, that sometimes it wasn’t the place that mattered—it was the people who entered it.Calvin turned to the man and asked flatly, “Tell me, what kind of dog are you?”“Damn it! Did you just insult me?”Furious, the man raised the wine bottle and swung it toward Calvin’s face.Crash!With a smooth backhand, Calvin caught the bottle mid-air—and in the next second, red liquid flowed down the man’s head. It was a mixture of wine and blood, trailing from the broken shards that remained.The man stood frozen in place, stunned. He clearly hadn’t expected anyone would dare lay a hand on him.&l

Adriana hurriedly stood up, letting Richard's arms miss her as she fled to the song selection table. She quickly picked a song she was already tired of hearing herself.The prelude began. Adriana sat on a high stool as the disorienting lights flickered and danced, casting her features in shifting patterns of light and shadow. In the haze, her face became half-hidden, half-revealed—mysterious and luminous.As the song started, the room fell silent.Mina, holding her glass of wine, joined a few men in turning their attention to the small stage.There, in the corner, sat a woman like a frightened deer—yet somehow too mesmerizing to be real.Where did she come from?Was she just trying to help out a newcomer, or had she accidentally brought in a job-stealing troublemaker?Fortunately, that lecherous Darren Venzor wasn’t around tonight. If he had been, he would’ve already been seduced by that little fox.Adriana sang with her lips,

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
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
