All Chapters of Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife: Chapter 451 - Chapter 460

On the way back, Adriana didn’t say a word.Kevin wanted to speak several times to break the silence in the car, but he couldn’t find a suitable topic. In the end, he kept his mouth shut, not wanting to add to the tension.Calvin, for his part, remained as calm as a statue.Adriana stared out the window at the scenery passing by and thought back to what she had said to her brother. In front of Calvin, she refused to reveal her true emotions, choosing instead to wrap her fragile heart in a cold shell.As they approached a fork in the road, Kevin finally broke the silence.“President, where are we going?”To the left was Adriana’s rented apartment. To the right, the Green wick complex.Kevin didn’t dare make a hasty decision.“Drop me off at the intersection,” Adriana said. “I’ll take a taxi home. Don’t delay sending Calvin back.”Calvin’s face, half-shadowed under the streetlights, tightened slightly as he furrowed his brows.“Send Adriana home first,” he said firmly.Now that the sile

Payee: Adriana.What a coincidence.The person she had bumped into was actually Carson’s subordinate—or perhaps even the girl he liked?Lisa thought for a moment and then called Carson. “It’s today, right? The meeting with that paralegal of yours?”Carson was already at the venue. When he heard his aunt’s voice, he almost exploded. “Aunty! You’re reliable, right? You haven’t forgotten? Finish up whatever you’re doing and hurry over!”Lisa smiled lazily. “What’s the rush? If you didn’t see her last time, how could you miss her again today? Tell me the truth—do you really like this girl?”Carson scratched his head awkwardly. “Didn’t you hear my parents at the house the other day? Right now, it’s not even about whether I like her or not—it’s that my parents are about ready to cut ties with me over this.”Lisa’s tone softened slightly. “Marriage is something where we should respect our parents’ opinions, yes. But in the end, it’s two people who have to live together. You can’t rely entire

He didn’t know any better, so she had to pick her battles.Calvin, as if nothing had happened, said, “Where is it?”He’s still not going to get out of the car after what she said?It was clear this was going to be difficult.“Four Seasons Manor!”“It’s thirty minutes away by car. As a surrogate, you’d better not be late.”“You…”“Drive, or I’ll sit here with you until dawn. Lawyer Clarke prides herself on being hardworking and dedicated—so let me see how dedicated you really are.”Adriana glared at him viciously, then bit her lip.The drive was silent. Adriana vented her anger on the gas pedal, brake, and steering wheel, handling them with as much force as she could muster. Calvin, on the other hand, seemed blind to it all, allowing her to unleash her fury on the new car.The Four Seasons Manor, a property of the Carson Group, was located on the outskirts of the city. It was a comprehensive private estate, integrating fruit and vegetable cultivation, leisure facilities, vacation space

Adriana’s head was spinning. Did this aunt and nephew deliberately want to watch her social death?Steadying herself, she didn’t let even a hint of her true emotions show in front of so many people. “The deputy director doesn’t need to trouble himself. It’s not necessary,” she said calmly.She deliberately emphasized “deputy director” to create distance between them and to remind Carson subtly: Don’t cross the line and make things difficult for everyone here.Carson recalled the phone call earlier, when Calvin had been in the car, and how she’d tried to cover it up. He couldn’t help but suspect that this so-called “friend” was actually Calvin. Hearing her say that now only confirmed his suspicion.His thin lips curled into a smirk as he chuckled. “Friendships develop from strangers to acquaintances, from unfamiliarity to closeness. Since he’s here as my guest, I should do my duty as a host. I can’t just leave your friend out in the cold, can I?”Adriana gritted her teeth, resisting th

Adriana thought Calvin would brush off his sleeve and leave her with his impenetrable back, but instead, he took her hand and walked out of the prosperous, opulent manor with the wind at his feet.This time, there wasn’t much strength in his grip, but she had no reason to shake him off.Calvin hadn’t killed Carson, nor had he done anything to hurt him. Although his words had been harsh, Carson was still safe and sound. That alone was enough to make Adriana bellyache for a long time.Once in the car, Adriana settled into the driver’s seat. She fastened her seat belt and glanced at the man beside her.“Why don’t I drive you home?” she offered.Calvin leaned back in his seat, silently watching as she started the engine and drove out the same way they had come.Once on the main road, Adriana asked again, “Where to?”Would Calvin, like the other man, simply say, wherever?“Not angry?” he asked.Adriana let out a soft laugh in her heart. Her face remained calm. “What’s there to be angry abo
