Semua Bab Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife: Bab 311 - Bab 320

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

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

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

Snow carefully tugged on Adriana’s sleeve, her voice low enough that only the two of them could hear. “Dear, what’s going on? Why are they all showing up together?”Adriana was worried about Snow getting into a big fight with Ray—especially with Calvin’s stern presence here. Provoking him now would only lead to more trouble later. She instructed calmly, “The situation is what you see—a coincidence. But you need to stay composed today. We still have plenty of ways to deal with Ray. Don’t forget the people I arranged for you. So don’t panic. Stay steady.”Snow nodded. She wasn’t afraid of Ray, but she was intimidated by Calvin’s cold, imposing presence in the corridor. “I know today is important. You’re the main focus. I’ll do as you say.”Adriana wordlessly pinched the back of her hand—a gesture of both support and seriousness.Ray’s faint, cli

Aidan’s punch stunned everyone present.Anna covered her mouth tightly, or she would have screamed.Snow’s heart, pulled taut like a string, suddenly snapped, leaving only instinctive fear racing through her mind. It’s over, she thought. She was afraid Aidan’s life would end today because of this.Aidan himself, however, felt no fear at all—not for his life or for what might happen next. Instead, he stared at Calvin with wide, furious eyes. Every word he spoke burned with rage from the depths of his soul.“This punch is for Adriana. I know you have power and status. If you want me dead, I probably won’t live to see the sunrise tomorrow. But remember this—even if you kill me, I’ll still make you pay for what you did to Adriana!”Adriana’s eyes welled with warmth. The uneasiness that had been lingering in her heart began to melt.Aidan knew Calvin’s identity and understood his influence. Yet he still fought for her. His defiance may have been reckless—some might even call it foolish bra
