Chapter Ninety-OneAfter the health check-up that day, the person most anxious and eagerly awaiting the results was Pearl, even though she had nothing to do with the health check-up. In contrast, Max seemed almost indifferent to it and showed clear annoyance whenever Pearl brought up the subject."Can you stop it already? I know what I need to do. Stop nagging about it all the time. Don't you find it annoying? If you have so much free time, you should focus on your own work. You know very well that the salary you receive every month is too high compared to the effort you put into your job," Max snapped irritably. He was growing increasingly fed up with this woman. Who was she to demand that he listen to her?Too troublesome!Pearl immediately retorted, "Why are you yelling at me? What did I do wrong by asking you to do this? You regretting it now? Don't forget, there's no turning back for us anymore."Of course, Max understood Pearl's words better than anyone, but he deliberately pret
Chapter Ninety-Two"She insulted me, and you're just brushing it off?" Pearl wanted a few comforting words from him, but his indifference left her deeply dissatisfied.Max didn't look at her; he focused on his documents. With a sigh, he said, "Enough. Tonight, join me and Bella for dinner at this restaurant. She really wants you to come. She considers you her best friend, yet you treat her this way. Don't you feel guilty towards Bella?""WHAT? Max… what are you talking about? You're asking if I feel guilty towards Bella? Are you crazy? Why should I feel guilty towards her?" Pearl was furious at Max's words, unable to comprehend how he could say such things.They had been secretly involved behind Bella's back for years, even before Max and Bella got married. Together, they planned to take over Bella's father's company and intentionally made it impossible for Bella to conceive. Everything that had happened was a joint effort between Pearl and Max, not just her alone, yet now Max made it
Chapter One"Darling, the 15th of next month marks our three-year wedding anniversary. What do you think about going on a trip?" Bella couldn't hide the happiness that was clearly displayed on her beautiful face. Three years ago, they had a grand and magnificent wedding, and ever since, Max had treated her like a princess.Max smiled and kissed Bella's lips, but he shook his head. "I'm sorry, honey. I have an important business trip next month, so I won't be able to go on a trip with you. You're not mad at me, are you?"Bella understood that Max's work and career were very important to him, so she didn't want to be a demanding and ignorant woman. They would be together for the rest of their lives, so if they couldn't go on a trip this year, they could go next year.Max knew that Bella would understand, so he couldn't hold back his emotions and hugged her tightly. After a sweet farewell between the two spouses, Max had to go to the company.Max and Bella met at a product launch party f
Chapter TwoIn the office, the lustful moans did not stop, the two were so intense that they didn't even notice that their crime was seen by Bella, the door was open without them knowing...“Hmmm… so good… so deep baby. Max… Max… I love you… ha… ummm…” Pearl let out sweet, seductive moans.“I love you too, honey…” Max kissed her plump lips like a hungry animal.Their 'war' is not over, as they continue their passionate affair in the private bathroom of their office like wild animals."Max, when will you finally divorce her? It's been three years, I don't want to continue like this anymore," Pearl sat discontentedly on Max's lap, showing her frustration and being coy with him.Max couldn't resist her temptation, as he lovingly caressed Pearl's slender waist."I also want to divorce Bella quickly, but you know that her father is the chairman of this company, and the position I have is also thanks to him. If I divorce her, I will have to leave with nothing," Max said with a sigh, as he h
Chapter Three"What's bothering you, beautiful lady? May I have the honor of listening?" The man said.Bella tilted her head to look at the unfamiliar man beside her, she had never met him before Bella was also in need of someone to confide in."Yes, I have something on my mind... My... husband, we've been married for three years, and... my closest friend, they both betrayed me at the same time...""That's awful, what did they do?" The man took a sip of his drink and asked.Bella continued, "Well, they had an affair behind my back, it must have been going on for a long time but I... I had no idea...""Oh... so I've been... I've been happy and joking with those wretched people all this time... do you think I'm stupid?" Bella turned to the man, her eyes pleading for an answer.The man didn't answer Bella's question, instead, he asked her, "Do you want revenge? I can help you with that.""Revenge? How?" Bella looked puzzled at the stranger's offer of "help."The man laughed when he saw B
Chapter Four"Bella, this is Levi Karter, he just returned from Hong Kong last night. Levi, this is Pearl, she is my wife's friend - Bella," Max introduced.As soon as Bella heard the man's name, she felt a little nervous, even though his image wasn't posted in the news. In high society, no one didn't know the background of a man named Levi Karter. In terms of wealth, a few companies of Bella's father couldn't compare to Levi Karter's assets.Yet...this morning, she even handed him a check and said it was a service fee. Thinking about her stupid action this morning, Bella wanted to find a hole to crawl into."Oh, so this is your wife, you got married early while I was busy so I couldn't come to meet you. With such a beautiful wife like this, you're really lucky, Max," Levi looked at Bella.Max was very happy to be praised, even though he didn't think his wife could be this beautiful. "Of course."While Max and Levi were talking, Bella could only try to force a fake smile wondering why
Chapter Five"You don't care about me at all. Today, suddenly she dressed so nicely, and you couldn't take your eyes off her," Pearl said irritably and resentfully.Since seeing Bella walking alongside Max, Pearl felt like exploding, but due to the current situation, she could only divert her gaze to another direction.Max lovingly stroked her long hair, comforting her, "You've always known it's just you for me. But in front of my friend and Bella, I have to show that I'm a good husband, or else I'll be suspected."Pearl understood that, but she felt extremely uncomfortable. Even if her relationship with Max was genuine love, they were still engaged in an illicit affair, adultery that wasn't accepted."I know, but I feel really uneasy. I love you, so I don't want you to be so intimate and caring toward her," Pearl appeared pitiable, on the verge of tears.Max held Pearl's hand, stroking it to reassure her, his actions intimate and carefree, completely open, as if they were a real marr
Chapter SixBella observed Pearl's deliberate attempt to lean on and flash her sparkling eyes towards Max, which filled Bella with intense disgust. Levi was no different; he couldn't take his eyes off Pearl either, and Bella secretly scorned the two men in front of her.However, in reality, Levi was assessing Pearl's aloof and casual demeanor, contrary to Bella's thoughts. For some unknown reason, Max didn't want to take Pearl home now, and he also didn't want his friend to do so. Although he feared his wife and friend might suspect a vague connection between him and Pearl, it wasn't just that simple – there was another reason.Pearl continued to cast hopeful glances at Max, wishing that he would, as usual, find an excuse to take her home. Each person held different thoughts, yet none of them spoke them aloud."Levi shouldn't mind, right? I'm really worried about her going home alone like this," Bella smiled and said, confident that Levi would agree because no man could resist such a
