All Chapters of The Temptation of Adultery 2: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter One Hundred and FourThe next trial was also the trial of Max. Bella entrusted her lawyer to handle the case, including the divorce, as she felt she had fulfilled her obligations and wouldn’t have much time to concern herself with her ex-husband going forward.She also heard from her lawyer that her ex-husband had been shouting constantly in the holding cell, demanding to see her. He didn’t hesitate to play the pitiful card to try to earn sympathy from those around him.The thing that amused Bella most was that he kept claiming he loved her, blaming her for not letting him touch her and for her illness that prevented her from conceiving. He argued that he was forced to find another woman to bear him a child to “save” their marriage. According to him, he cheated only to preserve their marriage.Bella felt amused, unable to comprehend how he could be so shameless and oblivious to the wrongness of his actions. Even setting aside the infidelity, his plan to take over her father's

Chapter One Hundred and SixAfter that meeting, Levi didn’t call or message her, which made Bella feel relieved. Bella never really knew what this man was thinking or what he would do next, so when he didn’t agree to her proposal, she felt a bit anxious."I thought he might do something… like harassment. I feel so lucky," Bella said as she sat in her new office, specifically the deputy director’s private office.Ever since Pearl was thrown into prison and Max was held in custody, the entire company was in chaos for days; no one could have expected that their director would be detained and soon face imprisonment.Bella brought one surprise after another because most people in the company didn’t know that she was the chairman’s daughter and the legal wife of Director Cooper. They only knew their director was married, but he had a rather ambiguous relationship with his personal secretary.Lauriel was particularly shocked. When she learned Bella’s true identity, her face turned pale, and

Chapter One Hundred and EightBella was still thinking about the court case and didn’t realize there was someone else in her office."Mr. Martin, you should knock before entering," Bella said with a professional smile.Henry chuckled lightly. "I did knock; you just didn’t hear it. How’s work lately? Any difficulties?"Henry’s tone was gentle and friendly, but Bella found it a bit awkward. Ever since Henry returned to the country and took over the position of director, he often came to her office to chat. However, having not seen him for a long time, Bella still felt distant from the man in front of her."No issues. I’ll get used to it soon enough. What brings you here, Mr. Martin?" Bella asked, her tone clearly conveying a sense of distance from Henry."You don’t need to be so formal and serious with me. After all, we’re family…" Henry said lightly but hesitated when mentioning her divorce. "I heard you got divorced…"Bella’s divorce and her lawsuit against her ex-husband and his mist

Chapter One Hundred TenHenry drove Bella home. Throughout the journey, neither of them spoke a word. Henry was deeply curious about the man named Levi—who he was and why both Bella and her father looked so unsettled when the man appeared.Bella remained silent, gazing out the window at the bustling nighttime streets. The vibrant, lively scene contrasted starkly with her pensive and gloomy mood.Her mind kept replaying Levi's cryptic words and her father's pale, worried expression. What had that man done, and why did he choose this particular moment to act?No matter how much Bella speculated, she couldn't figure out why Levi had come to her father's house this evening, coinciding with a time when the entire family was present.“Are you worried about that man, Levi? Do you... know what kind of person he is?” Henry broke the silence, his voice shattering the tension in the car.Bella flinched. She forced a natural-looking smile, her eyes darting away. “I don’t know who he is. We just a

Chapter One Hundred TwelveSince Pearl's trial, Bella hadn't engaged in any intimacy for a while, making every touch from Levi send shivers down her spine and heighten her sensitivity.From the start, their relationship was nothing more than a transaction of physical needs and benefits: he helped her take revenge on the two betrayers, and she satisfied him by becoming his lover—a lover who could fulfill his desires whenever he wanted.Indeed, Bella had always played her role well while the deal was ongoing and never once refused this man. But that was when their deal was still in progress. Now, what meaning did this hold?"What is our relationship now? Tell me. My ex-husband and his mistress have been thrown into prison, so I don’t need your help anymore. If you're doing this just to satisfy your own needs, go find another woman. I don’t want to continue this with you anymore.” A moment ago, Bella had been flustered, but now she spoke with surprising calm.The large hand caressing Bel
