Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Two

In stark contrast to the exhaustion and helplessness weighing on both her father and Henry, Bella found the condition that she marry Levi to be utterly ordinary. Among the upper class, contract marriages were far from rare no romance, no love, only alliances of interest and the stabilization of power.

According to her father, Levi had once nearly swallowed up the family company, which showed that his influence was far greater than she had imagined. In that case, her marriage to Levi would naturally benefit both the company and herself.

Bella was fairly confident about this. Whether it came to divorce or work, Levi had always been the one to help her, the one who backed her up. Although she could not deny that his personality was abnormal, the good things he had done for her were indeed numerous. He had even been willing to stand behind her and let her do whatever she pleased.

    Chapter One Hundred Thirty-OneHenry shook his head lightly. This was Bella’s private matter, and he truly did not know how to bring it up, nor did he have the standing to interrogate her. He also knew that she did not believe him, and he could tell she was trying to skirt around the issue to deny the relationship between herself and Levi.But seeing the problem did not mean being able to solve it.“Then… Levi, Levi has he done something to our company? Has he caused some kind of trouble?” Bella asked cautiously.Henry shook his head again. He himself did not know the details; he had only heard rumors that the matter was connected to Levi Karter.“Wait for now. After dad finishes his business, we’ll ask him,” Henry said wearily.The atmosphere in the room gradually grew heavy and tense. Bella had never seen Henry like this before, and the words she had intended to say were forced back down her throat. Neither of them spoke another word. Silence enveloped everything, and Bella had neve

  • The Temptation of Adultery 2   Chapter 38

    Chapter One Hundred and ThirtyBella quickly resolved the pressing problem. At the moment, there simply wasn’t enough time to look for new investors. The only person she could think of was Levi, whom she had been unable to contact for more than two months. In fact, she could have discussed this matter with Henry and her father if she said just one word, the two of them would certainly help her.But her pride and competitive nature would not allow her to admit her current difficulties to them. She could have spoken to Levi, because apart from her, no one knew about his involvement in the recent projects. However, since she also wanted to take this opportunity to completely sever ties with Levi and put an end to all their past entanglements, she no longer held any hope that he would return to help her.“The current project is progressing quite well. Bella, you’ve done a great job… The chairman just called and said he couldn’t get through to you,” Assistant Kim said.“My Dad?” Bella quic

    Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-NineBella thought Levi would angrily question her, or at least ask a few things like, “Why are you only coming back now?” or “Who did you go to see?” In her mind, she had already run through every possible question he might ask and had prepared herself to deal with them. But contrary to Bella’s expectations, Levi merely looked at her with a cold, gloomy gaze and said nothing at all.“I…” Sensing the tension in the air, Bella wanted to say a few gentle words to comfort him.Before she could say anything, however, Levi turned and went upstairs. The house fell into the heaviest silence it had ever known. Bella pressed her lips together slightly, unsure how she should react.“I’ll deal with it tomorrow. It’s late anyway… is there really a need to be so petty? I did tell you in advance, didn’t I?” Bella muttered as she returned to the bedroom.It was true that seeing Levi’s expression made her feel a little guilty, but when she thought it over, she felt he w

  • The Temptation of Adultery 2   Chapter 36

    Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-EightBella stared at her phone for a long while, unsure whether she should inform Levi or not. Ever since he moved in, the relationship between the two of them had become somewhat peculiar. Aside from what happened at night, Levi spent most of his time acting like a diligent “wife” at home cooking, cleaning, and waiting for her to return.His sincere attitude and considerate treatment toward her made Bella feel both uneasy and unaccustomed to it. After some thought, she finally sent him a message, telling him that she would be having dinner with business partners that evening and wouldn’t be home for dinner.The message was sent just as the car stopped in front of a Chinese restaurant. Assistant Kim, sitting beside her, reminded her softly, “The two investors this time… it seems they know each other. So this meeting isn’t with just one investor, but both of them together.”Bella switched her phone to silent and turned it off. She curled her lips slightl

  • The Temptation of Adultery 2   Chapter 35

    Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-SevenNo matter how tormented she had been the night before, the next morning, even though she arrived late Bella still dragged her exhausted body to the company. To avoid attracting the curiosity of the staff, she always put on meticulous makeup, wore neat, proper attire, and maintained a serious, professional gaze and demeanor… the only small issue was that her steps were slightly unsteady.She staggered a little as she walked toward the elevator. Because she arrived late, everyone except the receptionist was already in their offices. Before she could even step into the elevator, she ran straight into Henry, who was coming out with his assistant.“Bella? You just got to the office?” Henry looked at her with gentle eyes, his words full of concern.Bella was startled, but quickly composed herself and bowed slightly. “Good morning. I had a personal matter this morning, so I’m late. I’m really embarrassed to let you see me like this.”She felt as though sh
