All Chapters of The Temptation of Adultery 2: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter One Hundred Thirty-ThreeOriginally, neither of them wanted Bella to get involved in this matter, let alone participate in it. From the very beginning, Mr. William had kept it hidden, doing everything he could to prevent any information from leaking out. He handled it so well that even Henry, the person closest to him, knew nothing about it.Mr. William knew very well that the power in his hands could resolve this crisis. But he was too old now; there were things he could no longer devote himself to as he once did.Moreover, the internal problems alone were already enough to give him a headache. Over the past one or two years, Mr. William’s health had clearly declined. Although he never let anyone know about his condition and always appeared strong and healthy, his pretense might deceive others, but it could not fool the old foxes who had weathered countless storms alongside him.All of them were eyeing the seat he occupied.Perhaps amid the company’s internal conflicts, espec

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-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 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 and Forty-OneThe friendlier Levi acted, the more unpleasant he looked in William’s eyes. Before Bella got involved with Levi, William and Levi had been fairly compatible business partners. Back then, William greatly admired Levi, a young man who possessed the mind of a wise old veteran. In the business world, there were many geniuses, but Levi was a genius even in the eyes of those geniuses.If Levi had only shown that side of himself, William would never have hated him. But after several collaborations, a few encounters at extravagant parties, along with information gathered by his subordinates, Levi became nothing more than a devil wearing human skin in William’s eyes.At first, William thought he might have been overthinking Levi. After all, it was fairly normal for young people to have strange sides to them, even if Levi’s behavior was somewhat unusual compared to William’s generation. But after several incidents long ago, he no longer believed he had been exa
