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

    Agitation didn’t work with Adriana.She ignored it, striding into the women’s restroom.Returning to a familiar city, Adriana knew she would inevitably run into acquaintances. Whether she liked it or not, or if it was awkward, didn’t matter. If she was going to build a career as a lawyer, she would have to deal with a few influential figures.Ray William, Henry Charles, and Calvin Walker are one of them…Only by dealing with them could she gain the wealth she sought.After washing her hands, Adriana caught a handful of water and patted her face. The cold splash jolted her out of the fog caused by an unhealed cold.Looking at her red eyes in the mirror, she muttered to herself: “Adriana Clarke, what’s so noble about you? Can nobility be eaten? Can it bring your mom and dad to the U.S. without them being hunted by creditors or pursued by the law? Are you even qualified to be noble?”She wanted to slap herself to death! More than anything else, she wanted to beat some sense into herself.

    His pounding heartbeat and the overwhelming sense of oppression completely overpowered Adriana.She tried to push him away, but his arm was like a bronze wall. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t budge him. “Calvin, don’t tell me you want to kiss me? You said you hated me. So why does it look like you’re obsessed with me? Don’t tell me a man’s heart and body are separate—I don’t believe you can still do this if you truly hate someone.”Calvin didn’t respond to her words. Instead, he continued to imprison her with his absolute superiority. The crystal chandelier’s light reflected in her eyes, which were filled with stubbornness and a self-righteous backbone.“Come with me,” he commanded.Adriana was no match for him. Under his tall frame and overwhelming strength, she was like a powerless rookie. Half-carried and half-dragged, she had no choice but to follow as Calvin pulled her into the Imperial Box.Even as she clung desperately to the doorframe and refused to step inside,

    Calvin's hands were all over the place. Even if she did expose that information, it would be suppressed and blocked by him.It wouldn’t work.In front of him, she was nothing more than a paper tiger.Tired, the anger inside her gradually weakened. Adriana picked up the bottle of wine. Without even looking at what it was, she poured a full glass, then looked at Calvin with an attitude of grace and righteousness. Raising her glass, she declared, “Calvin, I’ve spent three years of my life on you. Back then, I was young and energetic, filled with endless enthusiasm. But now, I’m twenty-six years old and no longer have the energy or time to waste. I have parents to feed and need to support myself and them.”“So, I’ll drink this glass of wine to those three years of your ‘care’—to the blood and tears that taught me a valuable lesson. It not only helped me recognize reality but also helped me grow from a naive girl into a mature woman. After today, let’s walk separate paths and never meet ag

    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

    Last time, she had been half-proud of herself for bravely refusing to go home with Calvin — but she didn’t expect to be back here again, in the blink of an eye.Adriana scratched her hair in distress.“To be clear, I’m just borrowing the room,” she muttered.Calvin glanced at her miserable-looking face and said lazily, “I suggest you clean yourself up first. I won’t lay my hands on a female ghost — even if I’m horny.”Adriana rushed into the restroom, only then realizing how horrible she looked with half her makeup removed during the car ride.Come to think of it, Calvin had kept his cool the entire way — not even driving the car into the green belt.His psychological endurance was strong enough, she had to admit.The bathroom was fully stocked with toiletries.After showering, Adriana came out wrapped in a bathrobe, only to find Calvin on the balcony, making a call.He stood near the window, one hand in his pants pocket, his back straight and imposing.“Send someone to keep an eye on

    On what grounds?Because he was Calvin — a character you couldn’t afford to mess with, couldn’t afford to offend.Adriana wanted to answer for him, believing, you don't have a second choice.But Calvin’s actual response was more official and impossible to refuse: “Believe it or not, it’s up to you!”His desire to catch him worked. After a brief moment weighing his options, Darren engaged in a more thorough conversation with Calvin, roughly covering how to help him clean up his act, as well as the cooperation that would follow.The matter was negotiated without Calvin needing to mobilize a single soldier.Darren cheerfully took the initiative to toast, saying, “Since we’re partners now, can you tell us your name?”Calvin didn’t touch his wine glass. “Next time, I’ll naturally let you know.”Kevin crossed over and spoke to Darren: “Mr. Darren, waiting for your good news in three days!”Richard and Liam looked at each other in dismay. Darren was normally a cautious man; otherwise, his bu

    Darren was an unfamiliar name to Adriana.But Calvin wouldn't mention someone unrelated for no reason.After thinking for two seconds, Adriana understood: this man, Darren, who hadn't shown his face until now, was probably Scar’s big brother.Scar himself didn’t even know what his Big Brother’s real name was — so how did Calvin just point it out directly?Richard’s face shifted from green to white, little by little.He felt that the worst kind of situation was about to happen.This strange man seemed to know far more about them than he should.And the more this became apparent, the more Richard dared not be careless.He forced a smile and tried to stall: "Darren? Which Darren is Brother referring to?"Not only Richard — even Liam, who was nearly drunk, and Austin Mark, still dizzy from slamming into the wall, were staring at Calvin warily.With their connections in New York City, most powerful people at least had recognizable faces.But this man — no one had any information on him at

    Mina’s eyes could see six ways at once; she thought tonight felt unusual. She didn’t know who he was, but she knew she had to serve people because of Liam. If anything went wrong, Darren’s business could be soaked, so she smiled carefully."Two brothers, if there's something to say, let’s say it properly. Roughness can scare people off, you know."Kevin’s skin practically crawled from her flattery, and he snapped, "None of your business."Mina smiled softly and picked up a glass of wine. "Handsome, don’t be angry. Why don’t I have a drink with you?"She drank it all in one go, tilting the glass upside down to show not a single drop remained. "Satisfied, handsome?"Kevin said coldly, "Not satisfied."Mina blushed profusely, tugging awkwardly at the corner of her mouth. "Then, what would satisfy the handsome man?"Kevin kept a stern face and said nothing.Mina circled around the table and half-squatted down, trying to tap Calvin’s leg, but he dodged her with a disgusted look, as if a sl

    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
