Chapter Seventy-TwoIt wasn't that Max didn't think about becoming a reliable son-in-law in Mr. James's eyes. However, over the past four years, even getting a private meeting with his father-in-law had been tough, let alone gaining his trust.Aside from the project to build a shopping center on the outskirts of the city, Max hadn't undertaken any large projects before this. But how could he make James truly trust in his abilities? It wasn't that he didn't try; Max often felt that no matter how much effort he put in, into Mr. James, Max was merely an accessory to his daughter.Max was sick of having to bow to his father-in-law's whims, he hated the feeling of having to submit to someone. Clearly, he could outperform anyone in the company, but Mr. James never entrusted him with significant projects, or important documents, or allowed him to voice his opinions at critical meetings.Pearl's suggestion wasn't bad, given that Bella was Mr. James's beloved daughter. If Bella couldn't get pr

Chapter Seventy-FourBella blushed instantly. She thought he hadn't noticed, but she just accidentally glanced down without meaning to. She was about to explain herself when she felt Levi's gaze, and the words she intended to say got swallowed because she knew any explanation would be pointless.It was the first time Bella saw a man masturbating right in front of her, and he was staring at her while doing it. Her mind went blank, unable to think of anything, as she watched his hand move up and down without pause. Besides Levi's panting, the atmosphere was extremely awkward, or rather, Bella was the only one who felt that way.While Bella was still bewildered and didn't know what to do, the speed of his hands became faster, and before long, white semen shot out, he even deliberately shot it on Bella's lower abdomen. That milky white liquid flowed from Bella's lower abdomen down to her other sensitive place, this scene was extremely erotic and lascivious.“AAA… You… you…” Bella stammer

Chapter Seventy-SixBella didn't know what method Max used last night and this morning to make Pearl leave so obediently. She and Pearl had once been close friends until she discovered Pearl's betrayal, and of course, Bella knew that Pearl was not the type to easily follow others' orders.Moreover, how could a woman like Pearl sit idly by while her man was intimate with another woman? But what amused Bella most was that Pearl seemed more like Max's wife than Bella.In fact, with Pearl gone, Bella should have felt relieved, but she was somewhat disappointed—she had thought Pearl would insist on staying. That was the Pearl she knew; this easy compliance felt unusual to Bella.Because Pearl left, Bella had to think of a way to avoid having to be with Max.But to relieve what she considered this pressure, Bella happily went shopping. After all, the goal for this morning was to buy a lot of expensive brands and spend a lot of her husband's money. I don't know why, but Bella really wanted t

Chapter Seventy-EightBella also guessed Max's discomfort, but she thought that her husband would be angry and loudly scold her, which would start an argument between the two. Bella will use that as an excuse to return and not continue to stay in the same place with Max anymore.That was the idea she had come up with as soon as Max handed her the card to use. However, Bella hadn't thought that her husband would actually feel remorseful and guilty about abandoning her last night.Max's humility and patience surprised Bella quite a bit because it didn't align with what she had previously thought; someone like Max wouldn't usually show deference to someone weaker.When Max saw Bella return without anything, he immediately asked, "So, where are the things you bought?"Bella let go of him, excitedly saying, "I gave the address to the staff, so in a few days, the items I bought today will be delivered."As she spoke, she secretly observed Max's facial expression, seeing his face turn ashen

Chapter EightyBella shuddered slightly and immediately became silent, not daring to struggle or make any noise. But this made her even more scared. The sound of Max’s footsteps outside grew closer, making Bella’s heart race.However, it seemed Max didn’t notice anything unusual. He slowly walked into the kitchen to get a drink of water. After a few minutes in the kitchen, Max went back to his room without realizing another man was in the house.Only when they heard Max’s door close did Bella dare to breathe a sigh of relief, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.As soon as Levi let her go, Bella immediately pushed him away. His recent actions and words made her extremely dissatisfied and uncomfortable. If it weren’t for Max being half-asleep and simply wanting to go to the kitchen for a drink of water, they would have surely been discovered in a shady position.The recent incident terrified Bella, and for the first time, she felt extreme discomfort and diss
