The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Seventeen
Chapter SeventeenIn the past, Max would never have dared to speak these words to Levi. Max also learned through investigation that Levi had owned this piece of land for over ten years now, totaling more than 100,000 square meters. At that time, Max was still a university student, relying on Bella's support to successfully complete more than four years of college.A decade ago, the city was not fully developed, so the outskirts had not yet attracted much attention. Most people who knew about that piece of land now praised Levi for his foresight because its current value was much higher than when Levi bought it.But only Max understood that Levi was not someone with such farsighted vision, or even if he was, he had never thought about gaining any benefits from the land he held. In other words, Levi simply enjoyed spending money, spending it wastefully.Given Levi's wealthy background, such a spending style was not surprising at all.Max currently holds the position of company director,
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Eighteen
Chapter EighteenBella found Max's statement confusing and furrowed her brows, saying, "Huh? I don't have time for that. I also don't have the desire to become a model." She didn't understand why Max would say such a thing, and she disliked his commanding tone. In the past, she hadn't paid much attention because she was still in love with him and tolerated his behavior.Max was not pleased with Bella's response. Despite his past experiences where any proposal or condition he mentioned would be immediately agreed upon by Bella to please him, things had changed since she started working at the company. Her attitude had become more independent, and she often didn't comply with his requests as she used to. With a bad mood and thinking about his wife's rejection the day before, Max's anger escalated."Why don't you understand? If it weren't for Levi wanting to designate you as the model for his cousin's designs, I wouldn't have suggested anything." Bella understood then; in reality, becomi
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Nineteen
Chapter Nineteen"Max, has Bella undergone any noticeable changes recently?" Pearl inquired, sitting on his lap and gently stroking Max's handsome face with a soft and alluring voice.Max held Pearl tightly around the waist. Since they were in Max's private office, Pearl didn't need to maintain the seriousness she usually did in front of the leadership, allowing her to be more comfortable around Max.After contemplating for a moment, Max admitted that Bella had indeed started to push back against his opinions since his wife started working. However, he dismissed it as insignificant."There's nothing particularly different, aside from some changes in her style. She's still the same. Why do you ask?" Max inquired, believing that Bella was handling everything well, as she had never neglected cooking and cleaning for the sake of her job.Pearl, however, felt uneasy about Bella's changes. "Do you think Bella might have discovered our relationship? I'm worried."Max laughed, "Impossible. Ev
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Twenty
Chapter TwentyBella hesitated as she had never been a model and had never thought about it, but now she found herself unexpectedly faced with such a request, leaving her bewildered. Lisa remained silent, eager to hear Bella's response, while Max couldn't stay calm. He thought about the piece of land Levi had mentioned, urging Bella."It's just becoming a model, not a difficult job. Quickly agree," Max pushed Bella's hand gently and said.After a moment of hesitation, Bella finally spoke, "But I'm currently working at the company..." Bella didn't want to reject Lisa's offer either, as Lisa was a quite famous designer. Being offered an exclusive modeling contract by a renowned designer brought both joy and pressure."If that's the case, then quit your job at the company. With your current position, it's fine either way," Max said, feeling annoyed at Bella's hesitation. Earlier, he had explained to her the reason for bringing her here, but now Bella seemed indecisive, frustrating Max.L
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Twenty-One
Chapter Twenty-OneIn the waiting room, Max, furious, sighed heavily. He adjusted his tie and glared angrily at Pearl, who sat motionless before him."What's going on, Pearl?" Max shouted loudly. Just moments ago, numerous guests and important company partners had witnessed the events unfolding on the large screen. He couldn't comprehend what was happening.Pearl was the organizer, meaning she had arranged and coordinated the launch of the new product. She hastily shook her head, genuinely not understanding the situation. It made no sense for her, the one responsible for organizing the event, to sabotage it."I don't know, Max. Someone must be trying to sabotage me. I can't harm myself. Think about it; I came up with the idea and organized this event. There's no way I would intentionally ruin the company's reputation. I don't know who did this, but you have to believe that I would never want to tarnish the company's honor," Pearl explained hurriedly, looking at Max. Her entire body tr
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Twenty-Two
Chapter Twenty-TwoIt seems that Max handled this mess quite well, even better than Bella had expected. She knew that these issues were just ants to Max, with his communication skills, ability to please the leadership, and his sweet-talking tongue that could easily sway any opponent.If it weren't for Max deceiving and having an affair with Pearl, Bella wouldn't have gone to such lengths. She also wanted to know to what extent her husband would protect his little lover. In Bella's mind, she silently contemplated the next steps to create distance in their relationship.In the company, Bella rarely met Max as they held different positions. Neither of them wanted their colleagues to know that they were married, to maintain professionalism.As usual, Bella arrived home first. Her mood today was great because Max had successfully resolved the company's honor issue. This also meant that everyone in the company now knew about Pearl's incompetence. Because being the daughter of the company's
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Twenty-Three
Chapter Twenty-ThreePearl lowered her tearful eyes for a moment, remaining silent, then looked up at Max. She knew that by showing a bit of vulnerability, Max would be more sympathetic and gentle towards her, despite his evident anger. Tears were the most potent weapon for women in arguments, and Pearl knew Max well, employing this tactic often with great effectiveness."Max... I'm sorry. You've been exhausted, and I just made everything more complicated. I didn't mean to, I was just in a hurry to find out who was plotting against me. You understand, right? Everyone makes mistakes, and I'm only doing this because..." Pearl tightly clasped her hands together, bowing her head beside Max. He could clearly hear her sobbing, and as usual, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't resist Pearl's tears.Max's anger diminished rapidly. He no longer wanted to blame Pearl; he just sighed and said, "Don't cry. If you acknowledge your mistake, I won't blame you anymore. I'll hire someone to invest
The Temptation of Adultery Chapter Twenty-Four
Chapter Twenty-FourSeeing Bella off, Lisa glanced housemaid as a warning, causing her to shrink back in fear. Bella noticed but waited until she was inside the car to speak, "I don't want things to turn unpleasant. My mood wasn't great earlier, so I was a bit harsh on the maid. Please don't fire her."Lisa, surprised, chuckled afterward, "Bella, are you genuinely kind or just pretending? Weren't you the one who wanted me to discipline her earlier?"Bella, unfazed by Lisa's teasing, calmly replied, "Indeed, I wanted you to discipline her because no housemaid should disrespect their employer's guests like that. However, I'm not narrow-minded or mean enough to fire her. Besides, I'm tired of playing the good person."“You are interesting. The day we meet, I will send you an email.” Lisa smirked, feeling that Bella was quite good with the descriptions she had heard.Lisa returned to the living room where Levi was patiently sipping tea. The housemaid stood nervously nearby, looking pale a
