Chapter Ninety (1)The Previous Night…The party had come to an end, with most of the guests having left, leaving only the staff to clean up. Max was so drunk that he was no longer conscious, and slumped over the food table despite the waitstaff's attempts to rouse him."Sir? The party is over...""Just continue with your work. He's my friend; I'll take him home," Levi said, raising an eyebrow at Max, who was asleep on the table.The male staff member immediately bowed, "Yes, sir."Levi called two bodyguards to help Max into the car. The driver was surprised, seeing his master allow someone else into the car besides Ms. Bella, moreover a drunken man.As the driver was about to take orders from Levi, he said, "I'll drive him home."In the car, it was just Levi and Max. Max was completely unconscious, sleeping in the back seat, unaware that Levi was taking him home.Seeing Max's sleeping form in the rearview mirror, Levi couldn't help but smirk. "Perhaps after tonight, I'll have to get
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 NinetyMax wanted to relive the sensation of last night, but he couldn’t remember anything at all—not even a blurry image in his mind. This made him even more regretful and unwilling to accept that he had made love to his wife while being completely unconscious.Just as he was about to touch Bella's chest, she gently pushed him away and spoke in a tired and somewhat coquettish tone, “Last night was enough. I can't continue anymore. Besides, you were so drunk last night that you had no control, and now I’m extremely tired and have no energy left.”Hearing his wife’s words, Max felt both happy and confused. He didn’t know how to feel about what Bella said because he couldn’t remember experiencing any of it. Did they really make love? But he couldn’t doubt her since the love marks on Bella's neck and chest, along with her exhausted state, were clear evidence of how crazy their last night had been.Seeing Max standing there lost in thought, Bella pouted and asked, “What are you th
Chapter Eighty-NineAfter Levi left the company, Pearl was extremely upset in the office. It was the first time she had been ignored and shown disdain by a man.As soon as Max returned to the office, Pearl clung to his arm and said coquettishly, "Max..."Before Pearl could finish her sentence, Max gently pushed her away and sighed, "How could you be so rude, Pearl? You can address me however you want in the company, but Levi is not just my friend; he's an important client. Thanks to him, I've been able to secure many successful projects.""I... I didn't mean to, I just thought since he's your friend, he's also my friend. I just wanted to be friendly and create a harmonious atmosphere. He didn't need to be so harsh with me." Pearl pouted, feeling she did nothing wrong, thinking Levi was being too strict and arrogant.Max didn't want to continue this topic but felt the need to make Pearl understand. "Are you delusional? Levi is your friend? Do you think you're on the same level as him?
Chapter Eighty-EightMr. James seemed to sense the unusual nature of his daughter's marriage clearly. Rarely seeing his daughter and son-in-law, and knowing that Bella did not want him to interfere in her small family to ensure her happiness and her right to decide her own fate, he had complied with her wishes.However, when Bella mentioned that she had been experiencing abdominal pain to the point of bleeding and yet Max showed no concern, Mr. James found it hard to accept such indifference.“Tell me, what’s going on between you and Max?” Mr. James tried to suppress his discomfort as he spoke to his daughter.Bella, of course, wanted to tell her father everything, but it wasn’t the right time. She simply smiled lightly and said, “Nothing is wrong, Dad. Don’t worry too much, I will handle everything myself.”“You? Handle everything yourself? Bella, I respected you and gave you the full right to make your own decisions and didn’t interfere. But look at this, married for four years and
Chapter Eighty-SevenThe atmosphere in the room began to feel strange, and Bella was confused by his question."Are you asking about the nature of our relationship? What are you talking about? Of course, our relationship is mutually beneficial. You help me get revenge on them, and in return, I fulfill your sexual needs." Bella said casually because it was the truth, an obvious truth. She didn't understand what Levi was implying.Levi didn't show any particular reaction as if he had already guessed Bella would respond that way. He sighed softly."But I feel that in this relationship… I'm not getting any benefits."Bella didn't understand, but she knew his words carried a hidden meaning. She frowned slightly, "What do you mean? Speak clearly, you’re not someone who likes to be vague."Levi's gaze was cold and dangerous. Bella couldn't look into his eyes for too long, so she took a sip of tea to calm herself. She didn't know why Levi was angry, but since she needed his help now, she coul
Chapter Eighty-SixBella worked, but her mood was restless and anxious. She kept glancing at her phone, waiting in worry and unease, but also full of anticipation and hope. Lauriel, sitting next to her, chuckled softly."Are you waiting for your boyfriend to call? You really know how to choose a boyfriend. He's not only handsome and tall, but he also seems very wealthy... like someone with high social status. Bella, tell me, which prestigious family does your boyfriend belong to? He doesn't seem like an ordinary salaried worker like us."Lauriel spoke with admiration in her eyes, not just for Bella's exceptionally attractive boyfriend but also because she had heard that the man had paid all of Bella's hospital bills, wanted to transfer her to a private room, and ensured she received special care. This level of attention wasn't something an ordinary man could afford, everyone knows that hospital fees are not cheap, and hospital services are extremely expensive.Bella knew Lauriel had
Chapter Eighty-Five"Miss Bella... please stay in the hospital for another day or two until your health is fully recovered. You are leaving right after waking up will-" The doctor said worriedly.Bella waved her hand, cutting him off, "I know, but I feel much better already. I have things to do and can’t stay here any longer."Hearing this, the doctor continued to advise Bella to stay for further examinations. Bella raised an eyebrow and said, "You don’t need to worry. I’ll rest well at home, so there’s no need to stay in the hospital.""But if you leave now, what am I supposed to tell Mr. Karter?" the doctor murmured. However, he couldn’t stop Bella if she wanted to be discharged.Since there were only the two of them in the room, Bella heard him clearly. She shrugged and said, "I’ll tell Levi later."Though she didn’t show any special emotion outwardly, Bella felt extremely uneasy inside. When Levi left the room, she had the quiet space to think more carefully about the unusual thin
