Semua Bab Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife: Bab 411 - Bab 420

As soon as his words fell, a cool breeze blew in from the depths of the graveyard.A breeze that meant nothing in particular—but in a place like this, it carried a subtle, eerie weight.Adriana shivered slightly.She wasn’t someone who believed in ghosts or spirits, but sitting in a graveyard among countless lonely souls told a different story.She hadn’t quite caught what Calvin said just then. Only after the chilly wind passed and her attention returned did she ask, “What did you say?”It had been a quiet, self-directed comment—not something he meant for her to hear.So Calvin didn’t repeat it. Instead, he lightly shook the beer in his hand.“Did you and Zara ever drink together?”What had they done together? What little moments did they share that he, as a brother, never got to witness?In his view, friendships between women usually meant shopping, dinner, gossiping, or maybe having a drink to chase away a bad mood.But drinking together—that was only for the truly close ones.Adri

Grand Empire’s control over the project remained the top priority. As long as each step was executed steadily, it would yield long-term profits.Karl didn’t take Calvin’s warning to heart.As he left, he turned back and scoffed coldly, “Calvin, think ahead. A business as large as Grand Empire should never rely on deception. If someone grows arrogant and careless, even a hundred-year-old foundation can be destroyed.”After sending him off, Marshal said quietly, “President, shall we proceed with the plan?”“Keep him happy for a month.”“Yes.”It was around this time that Zara’s death anniversary came.Since yesterday, the deep sorrow in his parents had spread to every corner of the house. His grandfather’s doctor had called earlier to say that his blood pressure had been high for the past few days.That morning, Calvin’s mother had broken down in grief and fainted at home. The doctors sedated her, and she managed to sleep for a few hours.That same day, Calvin had a long-awaited convers

At that moment, Calvin hung up the phone just as the car pulled up in front of the Grand Empire building.Kevin spotted the vehicle and quickly walked over. “President.”Calvin didn’t slow down at all—his steps were light and swift, his slender figure cutting a striking silhouette through the lobby. The sight turned heads; it was a once-in-a-century event to see the president himself walking through the lobby.Calvin’s expression was cold, and the slant of his eyes carried a quiet, dangerous edge. “Did you find out?”Kevin kept pace beside him. Together, the two exuded a powerful presence, practically radiating intensity from all directions.“Yes,” Kevin said. “The junior captain of the security department gave Liam your address and license plate number—in exchange for 100,000 in cash.”The corner of Calvin’s mouth curled into a cold smile. “A mere hundred thousand dollars to sell my personal information.”Kevin pressed the elevator button, and the VIP elevator ascended smoothly and s

“Adriana… You… don’t bully people too much. You…” Baldwin heard her demand him to kowtow a hundred times and immediately felt humiliated—his face twisted with shame. Calvin could kill, but he could not be humiliated. She was deliberately making things difficult, ensuring that he would be completely disgraced and have no way to face the world again.It was torture worse than death.Adriana smiled faintly. Her clear eyes revealed little hostility, but the sharp edge of the dagger lent her a commanding presence. “Is that so? You feel humiliated.”Baldwin’s aged face flushed. He had nowhere to hide. Timidly, he glanced at Calvin, but the man stood by silently, indulging everything without the slightest intention to intervene.“No, that’s not what I meant,” Baldwin stammered. “I just thought… aren’t you short on money right now? As far as I know, your parents are still abroad and unable to return to the country. The assets under my name, if used to pay off your debts, though far less than

Calvin’s incoming call ended automatically a minute later, but Carson’s video invitation continued to buzz persistently.Adriana switched to voice mode. “Deputy Director.”Carson, who had been waiting for a long moment, responded with clear impatience in his tone. “No work updates, no replies to emails, and you don’t answer your phone. What is this—planning a strike? A revolt?”Mona, ever sensible, pursed her lips and silently slipped out of the office like a cat. Clearly, this wasn’t a scene she should be witnessing. For the sake of self-preservation, she wisely withdrew.Since her last escape from Carson’s home, all their work interactions had been online. Adriana never took the initiative to contact him unless necessary, for fear that he might start entertaining thoughts he shouldn't.So she wasn’t surprised to hear the gritted edge in every word he spoke.“The email about the case—once the data is reviewed, I’ve asked Mona to summarize it. You’ll have it by tomorrow. If you need i
