Chapter One Hundred and Seven

Everyone in the courtroom cast curious glances at Bella. They all knew this trial was initiated by a wife accusing her husband of infidelity and he had committed numerous despicable acts that harmed his father-in-law's company. Yet, the husband treated his ex-wife as a savior. No one could understand what miracle he was waiting for.

Bella entrusted almost everything to her lawyer. Her lawyer was a renowned figure in the legal community—capable of turning even a murder charge into innocence. With such a skilled advocate and a solid case, Bella was confident of victory.

As the trial commenced, Bella's lawyer presented all the evidence from the previous hearing, supplemented with even more detailed and compelling information. Every word he spoke left the courtroom stunned and buzzing with murmurs about Max. Max's already pale face grew even more ashen and lifeless, revealing his utter despair and helplessness.

    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

She frowned slightly and looked straight at the man in front of her."Hey, you’re—"“Mr. Karter, I didn’t expect you to visit my home at this hour. Since it was unannounced, I am genuinely surprised. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome you in the best way possible,” Mr. James, initially startled, quickly regained his composure and smiled warmly at the man.As soon as Mr. James finished speaking, Bella became even more surprised. Her father knew Levi? No, the fact that her father knew him wasn’t the issue; it was her father’s deferential attitude towards him that was.Bella knew Levi was influential in elite circles, but she had always treated him as an equal. She had never lowered herself before him, and Levi had never shown any issue with that. Yet, her father—an influential figure in the business world who had never bowed or tried to curry favor with anyone—was now acting so humble in front of Levi. Thi

    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

Levi’s unusual demeanor left Bella unsure of his intentions.“You tell. All this time… no, ever since that moment, I’ve been tolerating you in even the smallest matters. And what about you? It seems like I’ve spoiled you so much that you’ve completely lost sight of your own situation.”“What nonsense are you talking about? Tolerating me? I think you’re just too bored and decided to come looking for trouble. How many times do I have to repeat this? Our relationship is over. It’s done. Don’t you understand what ‘done’ means?”Having to bring this issue up again drove Bella mad. She thought Levi’s silence over the past while meant he understood and that both of them had tacitly agreed their mutually beneficial relationship was over. Contrary to her expectations, Levi seemed intent on complicating things further.Or ra

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.

Baby, I’m almost there… look, I haven’t even come yet and you’ve already climaxed several times, you’re getting more and more sensitive.” Levi thrusted frantically, he tightened his grip on her waist, leaving clear red palm prints on both sides of Bella’s waist.Bella was in a daze from pleasure, as soon as she heard Levi speak, she immediately woke up, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at him, her voice trembling as she begged.“Don’t… don’t shoot inside… pull out… ugh… hmmmm… ugh… I don’t want to… ple

She knew that the boss of the man who had delivered the food was definitely Levi, but what she really wanted to question was why he kept showing concern for her.Bella mumbled to herself, "Does he like me? Well, it makes sense. If he didn’t like me, he wouldn’t come to me to fulfill his needs. But if that's the case, then what he likes is my body, not me… How exhausting.

She looked up and asked, "What do you mean?""Possessiveness is something inherent in every person and every living creature. Even the smallest things, like keeping one's belongings, stem from possessiveness. The concept itself is simple, but when it reaches an extreme, higher and higher, there’s no way to escape or control it. The man you are trying to avoid and run away from, I’m afraid..."Assistant Kim stopped mid-sentence and stared at Bella. Even though she didn’t finish her words, both of them knew exactly what she was implying.At first, it seemed like Assistant Kim was giving a general example, but in the end, it pointed directly at Bella. Of course, Bella understood what she meant, but the phrase "no way to escape" seemed like an exaggeration.It was true that she wanted to avoid that man. It was true that he refused to end things cleanly with her. But it wasn't to the extent of being co
