Lahat ng Kabanata ng Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife: Kabanata 621 - Kabanata 630

Her phone suddenly rang, snapping Adriana back to reality. She looked down and realized tears had slipped from her eyes, soaking her cheeks.She wiped them away and answered the call.Lisa called from the other end, “Lawyer Clarke, we’re about to start! We’re just waiting for you. Hurry over!”“I’ll be there in two minutes.”After a quick touch-up in the mirror, Adriana hurried toward the location Lisa had sent.She hadn’t expected the first activity to be an adrenaline-pumping rock climb. How pent-up were these lawyers?Adriana looked up at the towering rock wall and felt her resolve waver. With her fitness level, she’d probably fall before reaching the halfway point. She’d be better off cheering from below.Neil held the roster marked with numbers and teams. “Lawyer Clarke, you’re Blue Team, number five. Get ready.”Adriana frowned. “Don’t count me in. I’m not good at this sort of thing.”He frowned. “But we have an even number of people. If you don’t join, Blue Team will be one sho

This was the first time Adriana had seen Calvin dress so meticulously for a private outing.She had wondered about his purpose in leaving, but watching him embrace another woman was excruciating.Adriana stood at the edge of the flowerbed, her gaze icy, the sarcasm at the corner of her mouth deepening.This Rose clearly held considerable weight in Calvin’s heart.Had her own face not been marred by disfiguring scars, Adriana might have deliberately acknowledged him.But right now, it was best to pretend she hadn’t seen a thing.Turning away, she walked off into the distance.Heavenly Garden seemed ill-fated for her; every visit brought misfortune.Rose, still sheltered in Calvin’s arms, breathed in the faint, crisp scent of his skin.It felt as though her entire being had been rinsed clean—a joy she had never known.The embrace she had fantasized about countless times had finally become reality.Just as Calvin began to release her, Rose spotted someone approaching.The figure wore a h

Calvin, muffled beneath the quilt: “…”“Lawyer Clarke, what’s keeping you? It took you forever to open the door!”Lisa walked in cheerfully, carrying a bag of snacks. She glanced around. “Hey? Did you sleep?”Adriana ran a hand through her hair. “Yeah, nothing to do, so I caught up on sleep. Woke up too early this morning—feeling groggy.”“Me too. I got up super early, scared I’d miss the bus.”Adriana pointed at the snacks. “What’s this?”“Oh, I came to chat. The outdoor activities got canceled. They split into different groups—some are playing mahjong, some are swimming, and a few went for spa treatments. I can’t do any of that during my period, so I thought we could have a tea party instead.”“Sounds good. I’m craving snacks too.”“Really? I thought your skin was so flawless because you’re super strict with your diet and never touch junk food. These are all trendy snacks—you should try them all.”Adriana went to boil water for tea while Lisa laid out the snacks.“Lawyer Clarke, wha

Only a thin veil remained unpierced. She didn’t want to make things awkward or add to her own embarrassment.But Calvin? How could he act so entitled?Did he truly believe he could have his cake and eat it too—that all women should flock to him like doves, ready to be commanded at his whim?“How you choose to play is your business, Mr. Calvin. Don’t involve me—I am not fit to be seen in public like this.”Adriana struggled to restrain herself from exploding on the spot, terrified that a single careless outburst would shatter the fragile peace.It was agonizing to hold back.“Is it because I crawled out from under the covers that you are so furious?”“Yes. You humiliated me in front of others, and now rumors will spread endlessly. Our collaboration has only half a month left. How am I supposed to show my face at GE? How am I supposed to face the people in the legal department? Forget it. I won’t go to the legal department anymore. If Mr. Calvin can accept other forms of cooperation, I

Adriana stood at the sink, staring at her own unrecognizable reflection in the mirror. She must have given up on Calvin completely to dare show him such a disfigured face.Fine. Calvin probably wouldn’t be interested in her anymore anyway.Just look at him—leaving after one phone call.“Alright, Mr. Calvin, no need to rush back. I’m locking up and going to bed. Good night.”Calvin wanted to say more, but the sound of running water inside silenced him.Over here.Rose clutched her phone. Calvin’s captivating voice lingered in her ears, yet she didn’t utter another word.If she couldn’t resist answering, she would never see him again.She was gambling—gambling that Calvin wasn’t that ruthless, gambling that, even for Stella’s sake, he would check on her safety.Sure enough, less than ten minutes later, she heard the door creak open.Closing her eyes, Rose sank into a daze.Calvin retrieved a spare key card from the front desk. Upon entering, he saw the neatly made bed illuminated by the
