Millie froze when she heard those words.Samantha wasn't biologically related to the Atkinson family. She was adopted. No one outside the family knew about it. This meant it had been kept a tight secret.Samantha stared at the frame, caught in a daze. It was obvious she was deeply in love with Pierce.No wonder Millie always felt uncomfortable about the sibling's close relationship.Millie froze, feeling like she had stumbled upon a huge secret. She didn't know if she should be there. She staggered away and hurried back to her studio, locking herself inside her office.That would explain why Samantha didn't like her. She was her love rival.Millie wondered if Pierce felt the same way about Samantha. Perhaps he refused to accept his feelings for her because of societal boundaries, or maybe something else was stopping him.Millie recalled his gentle tone toward Samantha on the phone. He had never spoken to her that way nor to anyone else. He adored Samantha, and he was aware the

Millie said, "They're quite close, huh?""Is Sammy making things difficult for you because she found out about your relationship with Pierce? Millie, you should break it off. Pierce is more dangerous than you realize," Stefan asked."Thanks for your concern. I'll handle it myself," Millie replied.Millie felt light-headed as she left Leach Manor. She couldn't understand why her chest felt so heavy, so she breathed deeply, forcing herself to calm down.Pierce had saved her multiple times. He was like a savior to her, and she held him in the highest regard. Her respect and admiration for him grew as she began to understand the hardships faced by police officers and soldiers.Thus, despite knowing that men are unreliable, she developed feelings for Pierce. She was upset to learn that Pierce had forbidden feelings for Samantha. However, she quickly regained her composure.Fortunately, she found out about this early. Otherwise, she would be forced to relive her past if she got too inv

Julian felt embarrassed, thinking that Pierce had crossed a line."Pierce, how could you say that to a girl?" he said in a low voice."Did I say something wrong?" Pierce replied casually, raising an eyebrow at Millie.Millie felt a surge of anger. She would gladly comply if he wanted to act like they were strangers. "Right. I'm a stranger. You guys can chat. This is my office, so, please get out."Pierce said nothing more and turned to head to Julian's office."I know you're usually cold to women, but you should be more considerate. What did Millie do to deserve that?"Pierce pursed his lips, clenching his fists tightly. He heard her say they would break up sooner or later. Did she merely see him as a tool for revenge or something to kill her loneliness?"Let's stick to business. I don't want to talk about anything else."Julian couldn't say much.After they finished discussing the order, Pierce was about to leave when Julian stopped him."Can you give me some advice? I rea

Despite the tension over the past few days, Millie knew her health was more important, so she decided to call.Usually, Pierce would answer quickly, but this time, the phone rang for a long time before someone finally picked up."Pierce, I'm at—""Millie, it's me."To her surprise, Samantha was the one who answered. At that moment, a cold chill ran through Millie's body, and she could no longer feel the pain."Where's your brother?""He's in the shower. He can't answer the phone now. He won't be going home tonight, so stop bothering him."With that, Samantha coldly ended the call, leaving Millie no chance to say anything more."How's everything? Is your family here? We're ready for the surgery." The nurse walked out."I'm sorry. My family can't make it. I can handle this alone.""You just need to be aware that there are risks involved with the surgery. Just sign the forms after you've read through everything."Millie signed her name with a heavy heart. Her signature was wonk

Samantha daren't tell the truth. She could sense that Pierce was serious about Millie. She could accept if Pierce married someone their parents arranged. He wouldn't love the woman, and they would just be married by name. Then, his focus would still be on her, and she could stay close to him, even only as his sister. That was enough for her.But Millie was different. She had taken all of Pierce's attention and affection, leaving Samantha feeling less important. She was no longer the most important person in Pierce's life, and that realization devastated her, but she didn't dare voice her thoughts.She knew Pierce well. He would surely stay away from her if he found out she had such thoughts about him."You looked into her? Did you tell Mom and Dad?""Shouldn't I tell them? Have you ever thought of what would happen to the Atkinson family if people in Arbelton found out you married a tainted woman? Even if you don't care about your own reputation, you should think about Atkinson Gro

Pierce said, "Millie's home alone. I'm worried.""Pierce, you weren't even worried when I ran away from home. We haven't talked in awhile. I have so much to say. I miss the days when you would tell me stories and help me fall asleep. How about we spend the day together tomorrow? I've accepted her, so why don't you spend some time with me?"Pierce realized he had been a bit harsh on Samantha lately and agreed to her request. He stayed up late, soothing her to sleep until midnight.Instead of staying in the same room, he went downstairs and sat in his car. He turned on the villa's security cameras to check when Millie returned and what she had been doing at home.Even though they were in a fight, he kept a close eye on her every move. He knew it was wrong to spy, but he couldn't help himself.However, Millie didn't return home that night.He furrowed his eyes. His first thought was that she was out with Julian. But he didn't think Millie would do such a thing.He felt worried, so

"Don't worry. I'll never cheat," Millie yelled angrily. However, her tone was too weak to be convincing."Where were you last night? You didn't go home either.""I was looking for Samantha. She's been acting out, hanging out with all sorts of thugs!" Pierce answered."You stayed out all night?" Millie asked."Yeah, I watched over her at the hotel. I was afraid she would run away," Pierce said calmly. He didn't want her to know that he'd spent the whole night watching over her, unable to sleep.Millie sneered inwardly. These siblings really do care for each other. They even watched over one another even at night. Pierce must like Samantha too. Maybe he was unaware of his feelings, or maybe he knew but was holding back because of the nature of their relationship.Just as she thought of it, Samantha walked in with a bouquet."Millie, I'm here to see you," Samantha said in a much softer tone. She even had a smile on her face. Millie didn't know what Pierce said to her, but he manage

Samantha left the hospital room and called Stefan, "Hey Ste, how's Wanda doing?""She's been sent home. I've taken care of the online comments, and once things calm down, I'll take her out for a bit.""Good to hear. Lately, it seems like everyone's been in the hospital.""Who else is in?""Millie. She had surgery, and it sounds pretty serious. It's a shame. Pierce hasn't done anything for her; he just left her at the hospital. She didn't even tell her family and only hired a caregiver. I felt so bad for her, so I went to visit.""What kind of surgery? Is it serious?" Stefan sounded worried."I don't know. She won't say, and I didn't want to push her. It seems pretty serious. Ste, maybe you should go visit her. Millie had been with you for three years. Even if she didn't do much, she worked hard. Now, she probably really needs someone there with her.""If Wanda finds out…""Wanda would understand. She'd want you to go see Millie. Honestly, you and Wanda owe Millie. She's in this

Pierce frowned slightly, confused about why the doctor insisted on Millie joining him for the consultation. Nevertheless, he respected the doctor's advice and called her over."Your wife is very pretty," the doctor remarked."Yes, she's beautiful," Pierce responded, proudly puffing out his chest.Millie rolled her eyes upon hearing that."Doctor, is there something wrong with him? Is it serious?" she nervously asked. When she learned that the doctor had specifically requested her presence, she was worried that Pierce might have some kind of serious health issue."Do you two not have a healthy sex life? Look at him—he's clearly been holding back too much. There's nothing wrong with him physically. But he's young, full of energy, and at the age where he needs… a release. "Should I examine you too, miss?" the doctor asked.The comment left Millie's face burning with embarrassment, and even the tip of Pierce's ears turned a faint red.The elderly doctor was certainly not one to mi

"Mills, are you inside?" Pierce called out.He'd hurried back home after the housekeeper told him that Millie had retreated to her room early. He thought she'd gone to bed, but the lights were still on, and there was no sign of her.However, the bathroom door was tightly shut. Worried that she might have passed out inside from staying in the bath for too long, Pierce knocked on the door. "Mills?"Millie wanted to respond, but no sound came out of her mouth. Her body felt completely drained."Mills?" Pierce's voice grew more urgent. "If you don't come out, I'm coming in."After waiting for another minute and not getting a response, Pierce opened the door and found Millie slumped in the bathtub, completely soaked and looking utterly disheveled."Mills!" Pierce was alarmed to see her in such a fragile and exhausted state.He immediately assumed that it was the lingering impact of her family's recent visit. He thought that Millie was still trapped in sadness, unable to move past t

"Does our family have to end up in this state?" Mateo asked, bewildered. Everything had been fine before they came to Arbelton. Why had it all fallen apart after one short visit?He understood that Millie had suffered, but it was undeniable that she was heartless too. Wasn't she the one who had torn the family apart?"Think it over yourself. For now, come home with me," Emily said.After everything that had happened, Emily had made up her mind. She finally saw Frederick for who he was. She still had a shred of conscience and was willing to admit that the Jordan family had wronged Millie. But Frederick's chauvinistic attitude disgusted her. Why was it so hard for him to admit that Millie did better than him? She wasn't a stranger—she was family, after all.The Jordan family had arrived in Arbelton feeling wronged and self-righteous, but they left with their tails between their legs.Meanwhile, Agnes followed through on her promise to formally take Millie in as her honorary gr

"Why did you hit Mateo?" Emily immediately stepped forward to shield Mateo."Are you mocking me too? Try me, and I'll kick you out of the Jordan family as well!" Frederick snapped.Emily clapped back at him, her voice trembling with rage, "Maybe my son and I should leave together! That's all you have left to threaten us with, isn't it? Because we still rely on you financially. "But Millie is different. She's independent and far more capable than you think. She doesn't need your money, so you can't control her. You've lost your authority, and it frustrates you. You can't accept it, so you lash out like a petty clown. "You can't win anywhere, so you take it out on Mateo. Was he wrong in what he said just now? Also, you don't seem to have reflected on this entire situation at all. Do you realize how much Millie suffered to save this family back then? You're still enjoying a fine life now, and this is all thanks to her. "Why are you biting the hand that fed you?"Another loud slap

Mateo and Emily met Millie's gaze with guilt written all over their faces. They had finally come to understand the hardships that Millie had endured three years ago and realized just how over the line they had been.Still, Frederick was the head of the family, and their survival depended on him. They couldn't defy his authority."Mr. Jordan, what brings you here?" Millie asked, her tone calm and detached.Frederick had specially arranged for the book containing their family tree to be sent from their hometown. The old, yellowed book carried a significant weight, both physically and symbolically."Listen, Millie. You are being expelled from the family. Your name will be removed from the family tree! This is the Jordan family disowning you!" Frederick declared.He flipped to the page where her name was written and crossed it out in front of everyone present.He imagined that this grand and dramatic gesture would intimidate Millie. He then said solemnly, "From now on, the Jordan f

Frederick finally saw the light of day. Initially, he had been confident that Emily and Mateo would come to his rescue. He was certain that Millie wouldn't dare to keep him detained for long.Each day, he prepared to be released. But as the days passed, he watched others being bailed out while he was left to endure endless interrogations. His frustration turned into anger and defiance, but his resistance only led to his fellow detainees teaching him a harsh lesson with their fists.Humbled and bruised, he eventually fell in line. Fear began to consume him, and his thoughts drifted back to his time in prison. He'd been made to wake up at fixed hours, eat at designated times, and make his bed to perfection. He had to toil in the sun and endure the abuse of fellow inmates.Every day had been unbearable in there, and the desperation to escape grew stronger as time passed. He knew in his heart that he was innocent, and the injustice of it all only made him yearn for freedom.When

Still, Millie couldn't be certain. If her parents could abandon her, how could she truly trust someone who wasn't related to her in any way? She tried her best to believe Pierce, but deep down, her doubts kept surfacing.Millie heavily exhaled. "I'm tired. I want to rest for a while.""Alright, go ahead and sleep," Pierce gently said.With that, Millie curled up on the couch and drifted off into a restless sleep. From time to time, she would frown in her slumber as if troubled by something.Pierce felt a deep ache in his heart as he watched her. He leaned down and kissed her forehead.No matter what, he would always stay by her side.…Over the next few days, Millie focused on her work and tried to stay unaffected by everything that was going on in the outside world.Emily didn't even last half a month. From her hospitalization to Frederick being detained, barely ten days had passed before she found Millie again.By then, Emily hadn't eaten for a day. For the first time, s

Emily finally came to understand Millie's hardships. She could relate to Millie's struggles and how unfair they'd been toward her. They had benefited from Millie's sacrifices and taken her for granted. What right did they have to judge her afterward?The one who had suffered the most was Millie.Even now, their current situation wasn't as dire as it had been three years ago. Yet, Mateo had already given up on them and hid away like a coward.But three years ago, Millie had tirelessly run around. She'd even sacrificed herself to pay for Emily's hospital bills and hired the best doctors for her. She had even worked hard to have someone overturn Frederick's case while caring for a brother who was merely a few years younger than her.Millie had endured so much back then. Yet, when the family was reunited, all they did was shower gratitude on the Leach family. They believed that Millie had struck gold by attaching herself to Stefan and had never stopped to think about how much she had

"Where is Millie? She must be hiding somewhere, watching us. Bring her out right now!" Frederick bossily demanded."Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying. Please cooperate and come with us," one of the tax officers sternly replied."Millie… Millie…" Frederick continued to call out as he was forcibly taken away. Due to his vigorous resistance, the authorities had no choice but to use force.The sight of this left Emily and Mateo terrified, and they were at a complete loss as to what to do. They ran to the relevant authorities, but they weren't even allowed to see Frederick.In the end, Mateo decided to seek help from Stefan. However, when he went to Leach Manor, he was unceremoniously turned away. With nowhere else to turn, he swallowed his pride and reached out to Millie. However, she also refused to see him.Emily, overwhelmed by the stress, fainted and was rushed to the hospital. Mateo attempted to pay the bills, only to find that Frederick's credit card had been
