Calvin was in a foul mood. He hadn’t slept well the night before, and waking up early only made things worse. Since it was the weekend, he didn’t go to the company. Instead, he sat in his study, scrolling through emails with a frown.

That morning, he received a call from his grandfather, George Walker, instructing him to meet with the Blake family.

“Since you’ve decided to formalize the relationship, you need to make an effort,” George said firmly. “The Blake family is taking this marriage very seriously, and you need to show them the same respect. Choose a few gifts and visit them. Don’t lower the Walker family’s status.”

Calvin’s voice was calm but firm. “The engagement is still up for discussion. There’s no need to rush a decision.”

George’s tone immediately sharpened. His health wasn’t great, and Calvin usually tried to keep things light to avoid upsetting him. But this time, his grandfather wasn’t having it.

“What are you talking about? Your marriage to Anna Blake is already on t

    The luxury shopping area was not crowded, even on weekends, and Calvin breezed to the top floor.Adriana originally thought, ‘Even if I buy slippers, they shouldn’t cost around a hundred dollars, right?’However, when she saw the brand’s gold, glittering label, her heart sank. ‘If Calvin asks me to pay, will I even be able to swipe that much on my card?’ she thought, feeling a pang of anxiety.Calvin had refined taste — he always chose the best of everything, even if it was just house slippers.The salesgirl, unaware of Calvin’s real identity, was already mesmerized by his appearance.“Sir, this is our latest model, perfect for home use…” she said, selecting the pair displayed in window C.“Take out two pairs,” Calvin instructed.Adriana laughed dryly. “It’s just for home wear. I think one pair is enough.”Then, she accidentally noticed the price tag on the bottom of the slippers, and her heart trembled. ‘More than six thousand for a pair of slippers?!’The salesgirl, who kept up with

    It seemed he was truly serious about marrying Anna. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen a gift so carefully. Adriana though.Adriana forced down her frustration, reminding herself of the conclusion she had come to after a sleepless night.She and Calvin were just business partners. There was no emotional entanglement, no future between them. From now on, Calvin would be nothing more than a stepping stone for her career—a resource bank, a tool.Her goal was clear: she would leverage the Walker family and Grand Empire to climb to the top of the industry, becoming a renowned connoisseur.One day, she would have enough wealth and influence to help her family get back on their feet.Adriana silently repeated to herself, “Remember, Adriana, your priority is your career. Everything else must take a back seat.”The owner of the antique store carefully brought out a twenty-centimeter-high vase, holding it like a priceless treasure.“This is a rare piece,” he said with pride. “It’s said to be a

    The limited space, the lighting, and the elegance of music drifting over from the mall worked together to create a tantalizing effect.Such a four-eyed look was tantamount to dry wood meeting a blazing fire, and even two people who had never met before would become captives of the atmosphere.Calvin’s arm muscle tensed. “It seems you have a lot of guts. You dare to play with me as an agitator. However, good lawyers are all over the place. I’m not obligated to you.”Adriana’s finger was still on his lapel, moving back and forth. She thought, Calvin must still have some feelings for me. Otherwise, he would have kicked me out long ago.So, she boldly provoked him. “Mr. Calvin, your newly purchased slippers—do you still want them? After all, I don’t have any man in my house. So, it’s idle to keep them. Why don’t I throw them away?”Her meaning was clear: Don’t think I don’t know you want to take advantage of me. If that’s the case, let’s make a fair deal. If you want to eat tofu, then you

    Calvin, already the picture of elegance, managed to elevate his presence further by changing into a proper suit.Now, as he walked in shiny leather shoes, the sound of each step on the cobblestones created a rhythmic melody that seemed to light up the atmosphere.He had always walked with one hand casually in his pants pocket, his back straight and erect — truly living up to the phrase “orchid and jade tree.”The moment Adriana’s eyes met his, she quickly looked away.Calvin sat in the passenger seat, buckled his seatbelt, and twisted his head toward her. “What? Don’t dare to look at me?”Adriana smirked. “Yes, I don’t dare. I’m afraid I’ll be mesmerized by you and end up crashing the car.”The corners of Calvin’s mouth twitched. When he turned his head back to his right, the twitch became a brief laugh — so fleeting that even he didn’t notice it himself.As the car drove toward the villa area, Adriana fell silent.Calvin, immersed in his phone, focused on handling his work. He didn’t

    An hour had passed, but the door was still closed, and there was no news from Calvin.Lunchtime had passed, and Adriana's stomach rumbled.There was no food in the car. She wanted to drive to the neighborhood to eat, but she worried that if Calvin came out and didn't see anyone, he might take advantage of the situation.After waiting for more than two hours, she finally couldn't help but fall asleep in the car.Three hours later, Calvin resigned from Anna’s family and walked out. When he saw the car parked under the shade of a tree, he felt a mix of anger and annoyance.He was about to knock hard when his eyes fell on the sleeping figure in the driver's seat.Through the crack of the open window, he could see Adriana resting her head against the window, deeply asleep.Her outstretched hand hung by the glass, and the wind swept past, pushing strands of hair from the back of her hand to her face.She was quiet and serene as she slept. Her thick eyelashes fluttered as if the cicada's win

    When had Calvin ever been lectured like this? His face darkened.Adriana laughed inwardly. “Very good! Serves you right!”With a stern expression, Calvin handed Adriana the car keys. “Give them to me.”The cashier caught a glimpse of the car key’s logo, and her eyes widened. A Rolls-Royce?And the keychain was clearly a men’s style. Driving such an expensive car and still making someone else pay for groceries? What’s wrong with him?Despite his sour mood, Calvin moved efficiently, packing the ingredients with meticulous care. His movements weren’t rushed, yet he quickly organized everything into two large bags.He grabbed the bags and walked out without a word. Adriana followed behind — empty-handed.The cashier, now thoroughly confused, thought to herself, Well... at least he’s doing the heavy lifting. Not completely scummy.****Back at home, Adriana carefully

    The food and soup were both inedible and ended up in the trash.The alternative was boiled dumplings.Calvin propped up one side of his head, not wanting to comment on the layer of white, floury dumplings on his dinner plate. “Lawyer Clarke, when treating guests, at least show some hospitality. Letting guests eat dumplings twice doesn’t seem very gracious, does it?”‘What kind of guest are you? If you don’t want to eat, leave!’ Adriana wanted to say these words aloud.However, after reminding herself three times of the “cooperation case,” she said with a smile on her face, “How could it be? This time it's different. Last time it was pork and scallions, but this time it's pork and mushrooms, without scallions.”It made Calvin so angry that he almost choked on his words.After dipping the dumplings in vinegar, Adriana burped.Calvin furrowed his brows. “You have quite the

    At first, Adriana was nervous, afraid he might suddenly do something. But when he fell asleep, she gradually settled down. Once she relaxed, she also drifted off into sleep.Calvin usually didn’t sleep well, so even a nap would only last twenty minutes or so. However, when he woke up today, two hours had already passed.His arm shifted, feeling numb and stiff, and he frowned when he saw the woman sleeping against it.Adriana was still sound asleep. Her head tilted slightly, using his arm as a pillow, her legs curled up on the sofa. Her thin frame was tucked into a tiny ball, half of her body leaning against him. Her long hair cascaded down softly, revealing her delicate nose and pointed chin.The setting sun bathed her in a warm, orange glow, making her look peaceful and serene.Calvin continued to lie there, unmoving, leaving his arm beneath her.“You’re awake?”Adriana’s voice was soft as she blinked he

    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

    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.

    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
