All Chapters of The Temptation of Adultery 2: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chapter One Hundred Twenty-FourNo one knew exactly when the café near Bella’s company had become their usual meeting place. It was still the same table tucked away in the corner, where a refined man, exuding an aura of noble aloofness, sat waiting. Bella saw him through the glass before entering. She paused briefly, trying to suppress the tremble in her body.“You arrived thirty minutes early. You must have plenty of free time,” Bella teased, appearing nonchalant on the outside, though inside she was trying to conceal her unease.Levi slightly raised an eyebrow and smiled gently at her. “You came early too. I arrived early because I missed you terribly. So, what’s your reason?”The smile on Bella’s face instantly stiffened. She couldn’t possibly say that she had come early to mentally prepare herself for the conversation. After all, what she was about to say wasn’t something easily spoken.“Haha… of course because I’m a professional. I can’t let the other party wait,” Bella replied w

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-SixInitially, Bella still felt a bit guilty because the investment money for both this project and the last one came from Levi, and he hadn't accepted a single penny of profit, only requesting to live with her.Bella knew he was wealthy, even though to this day she still wasn't clear about his job. But that didn't matter because Levi fundamentally came from an illustrious and long-established wealthy family; even if he didn't work, he still had luxury cars, villas, material possessions, and plenty of money."Why should I feel guilty? These are all things he did voluntarily," Bella wrapped a towel around herself and stepped out of the bathtub.She just didn't know how long she could enjoy Levi's "generosity," so despite being shameless and unethical, Bella still wanted to utilize it thoroughly.Good mood made Bella very comfortable. If things continued like this, not only the board of directors but also her father and Henry would look at her differently.

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

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 Thirty-TwoIn 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.“Marriage is just marriage. He has that kind of power if all it takes is fo
