But Pierce didn't dare.He pushed Millie away."Don't worry about me, just leave.""Are you sure you don't need anything?""I've been soaking in cold water for half an hour, and it still hasn't helped. I can't be satisfied with anything superficial right now.""Then what do you want?""I want you!" Pierce's voice was hoarse.He wanted to make her lose herself, to see her cry and beg for mercy, to leave her unable to close her legs and keep her in bed the next day. These wild thoughts were taking over, threatening to destroy his self-control."Get out, and don't come back in!"Millie understood that even if she was willing, Pierce wouldn't take her. He was holding on to that last bit of restraint, unwilling to cross that line. She didn't know why he was like this, but since he didn't want her, she wasn't about to throw herself at him.Millie left, and Pierce continued soaking in the water.It wasn't until the middle of the night that he finally got out, feeling weak. He had s

Tobias quickly covered his mouth. "If Pierce didn't tell you, he must have his reasons. Just pretend I never said anything.""Too late."Millie strode forward and began eavesdropping.Inside, Geroge spoke earnestly."It's just an apology, a few simple words, and it could save Atkinson Group billions in losses! Isn't that a worthwhile trade? I only wish the Leach Group would let me apologize instead. I'd bring my whole family to their door!""We weren't at fault. We didn't initiate the contract termination, so why should we apologize?" Pierce frowned."But is it true that Mrs. Atkinson hit his fiancée-to-be like what Mr. Leach said?""They deserved it.""Whether they deserved it or not, the party that throws the first punch is always in the wrong! And right now, they're in the right."Stefan hadn't publicly stated the reason for canceling the partnership, leaving the outside world speculating wildly about what happened between the two companies. But the board members of both co

"If it were me who offended Wanda today, and Stefan asked me to apologize, I would do it even if I had to get on my knees for the sake of the company and you!" said Samantha."Rest assured, if that day ever comes, I'll protect you and won't let anyone bully you. I'll go the extra mile to protect those I want to protect."Pierce didn't even look up as he spoke without hesitation.Samantha's heart pounded. She realized just how much she meant to Pierce. But why should that slut Millie get the same treatment as her?"Pierce…"Samantha wanted to say more, but Pierce cut her off."Leave. Don't bother me, I'm busy.""What about the apology?""Not unless I'm dead. Otherwise, it's out of the question."Pierce's voice was cold and sharp.Samantha knew how determined he was and could only leave in disappointment.However, Millie didn't have time to leave and got caught by Samantha, all because of what Pierce had said.She was touched by how much Pierce was protecting her, but then he

Before Millie could speak, Stefan let out a mocking laugh as if he were certain she would call."Ms. Jordan, to what do I owe the pleasure?" His tone was sarcastic."Didn't you want me to apologize? I'll apologize…""Are you kidding me? Do you think just saying a few harmless words over the phone counts as an apology? I want you to come over and kneel in front of Wanda to apologize, and let her slap you ten times. Otherwise, I won't be satisfied.""So, do you hate me because I slapped Wanda, or because I deceived you?"There was silence on the other end."Stefan, I told you a long time ago that I had a boyfriend. You didn't believe me. I even told you I wished you and Wanda well, but you were too confident and thought I was just playing hard to get.""You could accept me being Pierce's mistress, thinking I had fallen from grace. But being his wife was unacceptable because that would mean I was beyond your pity, right? I know you're a control freak. Even after we broke up, you st

"You're lying! You're only doing this to get back at me!" Stefan screamed in a cracking voice, clearly on the verge of a breakdown.Millie watched him like he was a clown.What was he trying to prove now?Men were strange creatures.Some men thought their ex-wives still belonged to them even after divorce. It was ridiculous."I don't want to discuss this with you. When should I apologize?""Right now. Get over here to Leach Manor!" he roared."Fine, but you better keep your word."She was smart this time. She feared he'd go back on his word, so she prepared a contract in black and white. If he tried to deny it later or make trouble for the Atkinson Group, he couldn't use her as leverage.She arrived at Leach Manor and saw Stefan coming downstairs."Where's Wanda?" she asked in confusion."She's upstairs. Go find her in the master bedroom. You know the way, right?"After all, she had lived there for three years and should have known it like the back of her hand."Sign this

Millie kept retreating, but her hands were tied, leaving her little room to maneuver. She was both furious and anxious."Stefan, if you dare lay a finger on me, I swear I'll kill you!"Stefan scoffed at her words."Are you scared? Are you afraid that if I do something to you, Pierce will abandon you?""No, he won't abandon me!""Oh? Being defiled before marriage and being defiled after marriage are two different things. A man might not care about a woman's past before marriage, but it's a different story after marriage."It was like how he felt about Wanda. Even if she had been married before, it didn't matter as long as she was completely his after marriage.Men were all the same. He didn't believe Pierce was any different."Stefan! Don't you dare, or I will make your life a living hell. I will tell Wanda…""I'll just say you seduced me.""You... How did you become like this?"Millie was utterly shocked. Stefan had once been such a good person, but now he had become so dark

Stefan taunted Pierce. "Why don't you guess? A man and a woman alone in a room. What do you think I did to her?""I'll kill you."Pierce's punches landed hard, and Stefan coughed up a mouthful of blood. The maids were terrified and rushed over to stop Pierce. They couldn't just stand by and watch him beat Stefan to death. One of them had a sudden idea."Mr. Atkinson, you should check on Ms. Jordan first!"Upon hearing that, Pierce's heart skipped a beat. Millie. Millie.He kept repeating her name in his mind as he hurried upstairs.He kicked open countless doors, searching room by room until he finally found the master bedroom. The door wouldn't budge. It was locked. He kicked it several times angrily until the lock finally gave way.As he entered the room, he saw a small, fragile figure teetering on the edge of the balcony railing. The first floor had a raised open-air area, and this was a high floor, at least 13 feet from the ground. If she fell, she might not die, but she

Millie's heart jolted at Stefan's words. What did he mean by that? Was it such a big deal just because he had taken a few bites out of her? Did he think he was part of her now?She quickly realized that Pierce must have misunderstood. Her gaze trembled as she looked at him, and he was staring back at her. Their eyes met, and she knew Pierce had gotten the wrong idea.She rushed to explain, "No... it's not like that. Nothing happened between us. Pierce... believe me."Stefan laughed. "Pierce, look at her. She's so desperate to please you that she's even spinning this kind of lie."Pierce's face turned dark, and he remained silent while taking her to the car. The front of the car was severely damaged. One could only imagine how desperately Pierce had used the vehicle to crash through the iron gate.He opened the car door and carefully placed her in the passenger seat, even fastening her seatbelt for her."Pierce..."She instinctively grabbed his sleeve.Before she could say more,

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
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 445
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
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 444
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
