Stefan felt utterly humiliated as if he had lost all his pride and self-respect."Are you really so upset that she married me? Did you want her to be so obsessed with you that she'd do anything to get your attention? You sit there acting like you're so noble, saying you only love Wanda. How noble of you to be so faithful."Stefan, if you've moved on and want to be with Wanda, then just accept it. Don't act like you're being treated unfairly," Pierce said. "Who are you saying is unfair?""I'm talking about you. If you don't believe me, let's settle this with a fight. I'll prove you're wrong."Pierce, who was nearly six feet three inches tall with a strong, muscular build, wasn't just tough from working out. His strength came from real-life struggles and challenges.Stefan wouldn't stand a chance against him."From now on, stay away from her," Pierce warned before taking Millie and leaving.Stefan clenched his fists, watching them leave, feeling like he'd been made a fool of."

Wanda's heart raced when Stefan suddenly snapped at her. She tried to stay calm and not show any worry."No, Stefan. I've never tried to trick you. I'm honest with you. Don't you know that by now?" Wanda said firmly.Stefan took a deep breath, trying to calm down. "Maybe I was wrong to suspect you. You've always been good to me. It's just been a tough time at work. I'll get over it," he said, rubbing his forehead and heading upstairs.Wanda was still concerned and decided to investigate further. What she found was shocking.Millie wasn't just Pierce's lover—she was actually Mrs. Atkinson now. Even more surprising, Pierce knew all about Millie's past problems with the cargo ship and still married her.Stefan thought Millie was still hung up on him, but seeing her move on so quickly and marry someone else was too much for him to handle."Why does she get to marry into a rich family after everything that happened, while I'm still stuck trying to get Stefan? It's not fair!" Wanda tho

Wanda cried out, "I didn't mean anything by it. I just mentioned it casually. I never said it was you. Why did you slap me?"Everyone in the room stared at Millie in surprise.Millie's face went pale. Her reaction seemed even more shocking now that Wanda's comment had revealed the truth.She didn't want to look at the others, especially Bill, because she was afraid of his reaction."I'm sorry… I didn't mean to. I made a mistake. I didn't want to hurt you. I just reacted when you slapped me…"Wanda cried like she was a child being scolded.Millie was so angry that she almost slapped Wanda again, but an elderly person stepped in."I can confirm that Wanda didn't mention you. I was the one who brought it up first. It was your slap that made the truth come out."Honestly, I used to feel sorry for you, but now, seeing how you're acting, it's clear you're not just a victim. You're being unreasonable."The elderly's words made Millie look bad instead of helping her."You shouldn't b

"I'll go check on it," Pierce said with a serious look and went straight to the study.Even if Bill wanted a divorce, Pierce wasn't ready to give up on Millie.Just as Pierce was about to go, the study door opened. Millie felt a rush of nervousness and looked at Bill anxiously."I'm going to make those old ladies stop spreading rumors," Bill said angrily. "How can they gossip like that? Don't they have a family of their own?"Our Millie is the real victim here, and they're just making things worse! It's awful."Millie's mind was spinning. Hearing Billy say, "Our Millie," she realized he still cared about her.Her eyes filled with tears, and she tried hard not to cry.Seeing her tears made Bill even more upset."Don't cry, I'll make sure you get justice," he said kindly."Grandpa, they're not completely wrong. I'm not good enough anymore, and I don't belong in the Atkinson family. If this gets out, people will judge the family," Millie said sadly.She knew she hadn't done anyt

Millie had managed to keep her family together despite all the difficulties. Even though people criticized her, she held her head high and refused to give up."I will protect you," Pierce promised firmly.He was furious with Stefan for neglecting Millie just to celebrate Wanda's birthday. Pierce wanted to make things right for Millie.Within half an hour, things started to change at the nursing home. The elderly people who had been gossiping were taken away by their families. Their relatives came to apologize, promising to make sure such gossip wouldn't happen again.Millie was touched."You don't need to do this. The news has already spread. There's no hiding it now.""Even if the whole world is talking, I want to silence their chatter," Pierce said quietly but seriously.He thought to himself that as the president of Atkinson Group, he should be able to protect his family just as he had protected many others in the past."Thank you," Millie said with a warm feeling inside. He

Millie didn't hesitate when she heard Agnes' words. She raised her hand and slapped Wanda across the face.Wanda tried to fight back, but Agnes was prepared and had someone hold her down tightly."She can't seem to think straight. Just beat some sense into her!" Agnes said sternly. She came from a family of martial artists, and her decisiveness and fierce spirit were evident.Millie slapped Wanda again. "Don't you know why it happened? Was your birthday so important that you didn't care about my well-being? You must have been so pleased with yourself back then, right?"I haven't owed you anything these past three years. You knew he was my boyfriend, but you seduced him anyway! People like you will eventually pay the price. And if karma doesn't get you, I will!"Millie continued slapping Wanda until her hand was red and numb from the pain. Wanda's mouth bled, her hair was disheveled, and she was too weak to cry out anymore.On the other side, Pierce had Stefan pinned down, leaving

"Mrs. Leach Senior, I would have been willing to trade my life for Stefan's if I were there that day," Wanda said pitifully."I know how much you love him, so just sign this," Agnes responded, unimpressed by Wanda's hypocrisy. She had seen and experienced too much in her life. Wanda's little tricks didn't stand a chance."If you don't sign, it proves that you love the Leach family's wealth, not Stefan himself!"Wanda glanced at Stefan, who stood silently, frowning. If she didn't sign, Stefan would surely begin to doubt her. But if she did sign, and things didn't work out between them in the future, she'd walk away with nothing."Wanda, if this is the only way Grandma will give her blessing, then sign it. I love you, and I always will. Time will prove that I'll never let you down," Stefan reassured her."Of course, after you marry Stefan, I won't let you down either. You'll have a monthly allowance of fifty thousand dollars, deducted from a trust fund. It can't be withdrawn as cash

Agnes had met countless people after living for so long and could easily see through the thoughts of the younger generation at a glance. But she couldn't quite read the young man in front of her.Pierce was reserved and calm, with an air of darkness about him. He was proud and aloof, not someone to be trifled with. Despite having been a police officer, which should have given him a sense of righteousness, Pierce carried an ambiguous presence, straddling the line between good and evil.She wanted to know if Pierce truly liked Millie."Mrs. Leach Senior, why are you asking this?" Pierce responded."I had hoped that Millie and I could become family, but that's not going to happen now. The Leach family has wronged her, but I care about her deeply. I want to know if she's found a good person.""I'm her husband, and I will be loyal to her as long as we're married. I'll do everything in my power to treat her well, to protect and care for her.""What if you get divorced?""Then I won't

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
