Chapter One Hundred Thirty-Eight

Being tough didn’t work, and being gentle didn’t work either. Every single moment, Bella was thinking of ways to contact her father or at least get some news about the company.

After trying every soft and hard approach without success, Bella even thought of asking Mrs. Wong for help, and she did try… but not only did the old woman refuse to help, she gave a strange, eerie smile and said,

“You remind me of the previous madam. This feeling… it’s so familiar, as if

    Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-NineIt wasn’t that Bella had never seriously thought about their married life. Aside from signing those documents that day and living under the same roof with Levi, everything before and after their marriage was unlike that of ordinary couples. There was no luxurious and grand wedding like she had imagined, no romantic proposal, no rings, no jewelry, no expensive outfits, no honeymoon.Neither she nor he went out much; they spent most of their time making love. Every corner of this villa carried traces of their intimacy.As a woman, even though this marriage was somewhat… unusual, Bella could not help but care about it. At first, she had felt it was something fresh and exciting, but later both her mind and body seemed to be slowly crushed bit by bit, until she could hardly breathe.Sometimes Bella felt as if this was not a marriage at all, but merely the same relationship of mutual benefit they had before. She stayed by his side as the woman who satisfi

    Chapter One Hundred Thirty-EightBeing tough didn’t work, and being gentle didn’t work either. Every single moment, Bella was thinking of ways to contact her father or at least get some news about the company.After trying every soft and hard approach without success, Bella even thought of asking Mrs. Wong for help, and she did try… but not only did the old woman refuse to help, she gave a strange, eerie smile and said,“You remind me of the previous madam. This feeling… it’s so familiar, as if I’ve gone back thirty years.”Bella had always felt that this housekeeper was not normal, so she neither understood nor cared about what she said. What mattered to her was hearing news from the outside, though she hadn’t expected much from the woman anyway.“These two lunatics…” Bella muttered softly.It had been a month since she signed those marriage terms. A whole month without hearing or seeing any news from the outside no phone, no computer, no television. Anything that could connect her t

    Chapter One Hundred Thirty-SevenBella knew very well that the fragile, pitiful appearance she was showing now would surely soften Levi’s heart and make him agree to her request. After all, he loved her so much, there was no way he could resist this kind of coquettish pleading from her.Bella sniffled while acting spoiled, her voice sweet yet mixed with grievance and sadness. Inwardly, she couldn’t stop admiring herself. Even she felt moved by her own tone, let alone the man standing in front of her.But contrary to Bella’s expectations, although Levi did not push her away, there was not the slightest hint of a smile on his face. He silently looked at her for a long time, as if observing the behavior of an experimental subject.Under that pair of deep, pitch-black eyes, Bella felt as though he were trying to pierce into the deepest part of her heart. Feeling uneasy and embarrassed, she leaned against him and lowered her gaze to avoid Levi’s knife-like stare.“Please… I’m really very w

    Chapter One Hundred Thirty-Six“Have a good day, Mr. William.”After seeing the bank director out, Mr. William gazed into the void with dark, helpless eyes. The moment the bank director personally came to his house, he had already known what had happened. But standing between his career, the many employees depending on him, and his only daughter, he could choose only one. Or rather, he had been pushed into a fait accompli by his daughter and that dangerous man, he was allowed to choose only one.Henry also understood what was going on, but in this situation, what could he possibly do? He sat across from his father, yet neither of them spoke. The gloomy, heavy atmosphere was filled with nothing but sighs.“Henry, do you think this is really okay?” Mr. William kept his head lowered; at this moment, he did not even have the strength to lift his teacup. He truly wanted an answer different from what was unfolding before them.Henry knew what his father was thinking. But with his own abilit

    Chapter One Hundred Thirty-FiveRight after Bella finished speaking, the entire room fell into silence. The gloom in the air made her already tense mood grow even heavier. When Levi didn’t respond, she looked up at him in confusion only to meet his unblinking stare.The man’s eyes were dark and unfathomable, his face utterly devoid of emotion. There was no surprise, no amusement, no provocation. He was like a meticulously sculpted statue, carved without a trace of feeling.Bella felt the fine hairs on her body stand on end. She had never seen Levi in such a strange state before. With no emotion reflected on his face, she had no way of guessing what he was thinking.“W-What?” Bella asked hesitantly, avoiding his eerie and abnormal gaze.Only then did Levi’s eyes shift. A faint smile curved on his lips, as if he were very satisfied with Bella’s blunt answer. He stood up, walked to his desk, retrieved a stack of documents, and handed them to her. Though she had no idea what they were, sh

    Chapter One Hundred Thirty-FourWhen Bella first arrived, she was full of confidence and determination. But the moment she stepped through those grand doors, all her bravado drained away. A chill spread through her body, and she felt uneasy and restless.“This is my second time here… what should I call you?” Bella tried to make conversation to ease her own tension and the heavy atmosphere.The housekeeper did not turn around. Her cold, emotionless gaze remained fixed ahead, yet she replied respectfully, “Madam may call me Wong. I have been the housekeeper here… for many years.”“My name is Bella. You can just call me by my name,” Bella said, feeling that the elderly housekeeper’s form of address was overly formal and polite.Bella’s words were merely casual courtesy, but the housekeeper did not take them that way. She stopped walking and turned to look at Bella, making her slightly uneasy.“Madam, I cannot address my master by her name directly. That would be disrespectful and against

Among the upper class, contract marriages were far from rare no romance, no love, only alliances of in

He also knew that she did not believe him, and he could tell she was trying to skirt around the issue to deny

    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 mat

    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 t
