"Why are you here?" Millie asked, frowning when she saw Samantha."I came to check on you. Pierce is busy with work and couldn't come," Samantha chirped."How do you know?""Pierce told me. Didn't he let you know? It's fine, though. I'm here to see you."Samantha's happy tone annoyed Millie."Pierce should have come to see you, even if he's busy. You just had surgery. I told him he should come.""No need. I can manage by myself," Millie said firmly."I'm going to sleep now. If you're okay, you can leave.""Alright, I'll come back and see you tomorrow morning."Samantha left with a satisfied smile, clearly pleased with herself.…The next morning, Millie woke up and saw Julian sitting next to her bed."Julian, what are you doing here?" she asked, surprised.She tried to sit up, but it hurt because of her wound, and she winced in pain."Don't move around," Julian said quickly, speaking gently. "Just stay still.""I was worried when you didn't come to the studio yesterday,"

"Shouldn't I be asking you that? Don't you have something to say to me?"Millie felt confident; she had nothing to hide. But Pierce? Would he admit what was going on with himself, along with Samantha's attitude?Pierce pressed his lips together, refusing to admit he had visited yesterday, let alone bring her a meal.While she was here enjoying Julian's chicken soup, savoring every drop, she had no idea how disappointed Pierce felt when he left yesterday."I've got nothing to hide. Nothing to say," Pierce said.Millie almost lost it. Nothing to hide? Yeah, right.She suddenly didn't want to see him anymore."Just go. I don't need you here," Millie said, not hiding her anger."Yeah, you've got plenty of people to take care of you," Pierce replied coldly."That's right, I do. So why would I need you?" Millie snapped, getting more upset as she thought about how he didn't show up at all yesterday.Any good friend would've come right away. Even Stefan, who was usually heartless, ca

"Why?" Julian shouted, grabbing Pierce by the collar."You knew I liked her. Why did you go after her and take her away from me?" Julian was furious."You've got it wrong," Pierce said calmly. "We were married before you even showed interest in her. You're the one who was chasing after my wife.""Then why didn't you tell me right away? Was this just a game to you?" Julian's voice shook with frustration."I'm sorry," Pierce said. "Because our marriage was private, we couldn't tell anyone. I tried to warn you that she wasn't available. I told you she was already married."Julian was shocked. He had thought Pierce was just being biased before, and he didn't realize it meant they were actually married.Millie had never given him hope, and then she admitted she was with someone else. It was his own fault—he had been fooling himself.Julian's face was full of frustration, but he quickly calmed down.He took a deep breath and said, "I'm too late. I give up. I won't bother you while yo

Staying any longer might lead to more problems."You came at an inconvenient time. I'm about to head for a check-up, and you've seen enough. Please leave…"Millie was trying to get Stefan to leave when Wanda walked in and stopped her.Millie thought Wanda would make a fuss, but instead, Wanda came in with a bunch of expensive supplements and was really nice."Wanda… let me explain," Stefan said, sounding worried.He felt a bit awkward. Even though he felt he had good intentions, he thought maybe he shouldn't be there.Wanda just smiled and seemed fine with everything."You should have told me you were coming to see Millie," Wanda said kindly. "I care about her too. I wouldn't have stopped you; I would have come with you to visit her.""Are you okay?" Wanda asked Millie. "If I hadn't been picking up Stefan, I wouldn't have found out he was here visiting you. Both Stefan and I are worried about you. We want you to get better so we can all relax.""Yeah, if you're okay, then Wand

"Can anybody really help me with this?" Millie wondered.Pierce helped her into the bathroom and started to pull down her pants."No, no, you don't need to do that!" Millie said, feeling embarrassed."Your cut is on your lower stomach. Bending over will hurt. Let me help you. Besides, given what we've been through, there's no need to be shy," Pierce said with a slight smile.Even though Pierce was right—they had been through so much together, from him helping her after she lost her virginity to her assisting him with his needs—Millie still felt a deep sense of shame."If you're embarrassed, just close your eyes. Remember, you helped me when I was hurt," Pierce said gently."I… I'll do it myself," Millie said, trying to be independent despite the pain.Her face was bright red with embarrassment. Even though she kept telling Pierce to leave, he wouldn't budge. "I can't leave. What if you fall and hurt yourself?" Millie was frustrated and finally gave up.Pierce smirked as he

Millie cried for a while, and once she felt she had let it all out, she stopped."I'm sorry… I got your shirt dirty," she said, feeling embarrassed.Pierce's shirt was soaked from her tears."It's okay. It's good to cry. It's all in the past now," Pierce said gently.He wiped her face, which was streaked with tears."Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat," he offered.As Pierce was about to leave, his phone rang. It was a video call from his grandfather. Pierce answered, and Bill's face appeared on the screen."I don't want to see you. I want to see my granddaughter-in-law," Bill said right away.Pierce sighed and turned the camera to Millie."Grandpa," Millie said softly, trying to sound cheerful.Bill saw her red, swollen eyes and looked worried. "Millie, what happened? Did Pierce do something to you? Your eyes are so puffy.""No, it's not like that," Millie replied quickly. "I just twisted my ankle. Pierce didn't do anything." She avoided mentioning her surgery

Pierce had always been cool and distant, but he looked even more reserved in his new traditional outfit.The outfit featured a subtle pattern with metal clasps, giving him the refined look of a stylish gentleman from the early 1900s."Who picked this outfit for you?" Millie asked, curious."I asked Tobias for advice. He said that if we wear matching outfits, Grandpa will think our relationship is strong," Pierce explained with a small smile."That's a good idea. I'll go change," Millie said.When she came out in her refined outfit, it made her look like she belonged to a bygone era. Her white shirt had a delicate pattern and tassels at the sleeves, paired with a gold pendant that perfectly complemented her look. Her hair was simply yet elegantly pinned up with a white hairpin.Pierce couldn't take his eyes off her. She looked stunning, like someone straight out of a painting."Do I look good?" she asked."You look great," he said with admiration.Then, he pulled her into a hug

Tobias was driving and was about to go when suddenly, a little boy ran across the street, ignoring the red light.Tobias quickly turned the steering wheel, barely avoiding an accident.The sudden move caused Millie to fall into Pierce's arms, her hand pressing against his side. They were so close that she heard him let out a soft groan.Realizing something might be wrong, Millie steadied herself and lifted his shirt, revealing a big bruise on his side and back, with more under his waistband.Without thinking, she started to pull his clothes down further to see the injury."Maybe wait until Tobias isn't here to take off my clothes," Pierce joked."Millie…I'm still here, you know," Tobias said, sounding surprised.His words made the situation even more awkward, like dropping a bomb into the conversation."No, no, you've got it all wrong! He hurt his waist, and I was just checking the injury," Millie explained, trying to clear things up.Pierce grinned, clearly enjoying this. "I

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
