"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
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 147
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! Stop hitting him!" Millie clung tightly to Pierce's arm."Let go of me!" Pierce's voice was hoarse and deep, filled with authority."No!" Millie's voice was resolute. "If you want to kill him, you'll have to kill me first!"She was ready to go to any length to calm him down. As expected, her words had the desired effect. Pierce's expression darkened, his gaze complex as it lingered on her.Without a word, he stood up and left.Stefan kept coughing, his blood staining the floor a deep red. The hot blood splattered onto Millie's hand."What are you standing around for? Get him to the hospital!"No one dared to call the police that night. Pierce's beating had left Stefan barely alive, but Stefan's attempt at assault was also undeniable, even if it had failed.Millie glanced at Pierce's disappearing figure, panicked, and tried to follow, only to find Stefan grabbing at her clothes stubbornly. Despite his agony and weakness, he clung to her, his face twisted in pain.Milli

The kiss quickly escalated out of control. Pierce's hands began to wander, lifting her clothing and gripping her. Millie found that she wasn't repelled by his closeness, but she didn't want it to happen in this unclear and distressing situation.She struggled with all her might. "Pierce, what do you think of me?""You're no different from Stefan right now!" she shouted angrily, feeling deeply wronged and her eyes welling up with tears.Pierce's body stiffened sharply at her words, his heart aching as if it were being torn apart. He shouldn't be the abuser!He hurriedly returned to his seat and rolled down the window, letting the night breeze in.Millie felt helpless and gathered her clothes to cover herself."I'm sorry," Pierce finally spoke after a long silence. "I lost control. I shouldn't have treated you like this.""So you always thought this way about me? No matter what I said about not loving Stefan, you thought I was lying, that I still had a place for him in my heart."

Millie gently closed the box.Suddenly, a single tear slipped down, landing silently on the surface. Only then did Millie realize that she had been crying. She wasn't sure if she was mourning the love she once had or if her tears were for something else entirely.No wonder Pierce had told her to look at it in private. He didn't want to see her shedding tears for another man."It's all in the past. Why send this now?" Millie murmured.She wiped away her tears and picked up her phone. "Tobias, do me a favor. Auction something for me. Donate every last cent of the proceeds to charity. Not a single penny should be kept."She then ended the call and looked at the small box again. At least this way, it would be put to good use…Afterward, Millie headed to the study to check on Pierce. He watched her closely, his deep eyes unreadable.Millie pretended not to notice and said, "You keep working. I'm just going to sketch for a while."Pierce pressed his lips together as if he wante

Millie followed Pierce back home. As she stepped into the familiar space that belonged to just the two of them, her heart felt heavy with emotions.It had been two months since she had last been here, yet everything remained unchanged. Even the wardrobe had been stocked with new seasonal outfits.In those two months, Millie had lost a lot of weight. So, Pierce instructed the kitchen to prepare nourishing meals for her. He was determined to bring her back to full health.Pierce remained bedridden for another half month before he could finally use a cane to walk around a bit. His right leg was still severely injured, and every step sent searing pain through his body, making his face go pale and his forehead damp with cold sweat.Millie couldn't bear to watch him suffer and urged him to rest. But Pierce was stubborn and walked until his legs trembled, and he could no longer stand. Only then would he sit down."Does it hurt?" Millie worriedly asked."It doesn't. I just need to pr
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 654
With that, Millie turned around and left without hesitation. But just as she was about to step out of the room, Stefan's voice called out behind her once more, "Millie, I owe you an apology for everything. I never really said it before. It's late… but at least I'm finally saying it. "Millie, I'm sorry. I was the one in the wrong." Stefan's voice was soft, weakened by his injuries. It sounded as though those few words had drained all the strength from his body.Millie's body stiffened, and her hands were tightly clenched into fists at her sides.Stefan was apologizing at long last.Millie wanted to turn around to see if he was truly sincere or if this was just another one of his manipulations. However, she held herself back. Unimportant people didn't deserve even a second glance.Millie didn't say anything. She didn't say whether she would or would not forgive him. She just walked away.Stefan's face turned even paler. He knew that after everything he had done, he would never

Millie didn't want to see Pierce struggling alone, bottling up all his pain like a wounded lion licking its wounds in solitude.Upon hearing her words, Pierce simply tightened his embrace around her. "Mills… I'm scared…""I know. I understand," Millie whispered, gently patting his back."I'm afraid I won't be able to lift you anymore, and I'm afraid I won't be able to run or jump. I'm scared I won't be able to fight the bad guys and protect you anymore." Pierce's voice was soft and barely above a whisper. His sorrow was almost imperceptible, but it could be because he still hadn't fully released his emotions.Millie started, "You still have me. If you can't carry me, then don't. If you can't run fast or jump high, then I'll slow down and walk beside you. I can be your crutch and your support for a lifetime, okay?"And listen, Pierce, you may not be able to fight on the front lines anymore, but you're still there in spirit. We can move to the back lines to provide funding and strat

Pierce didn't tell Millie everything—such as the fact that Stefan had initially wanted to kill him. He spared Stefan some dignity, not wanting Millie to hate him forever.Millie stayed in the hospital to care for Pierce for two days when there was finally a change in Stefan's condition.Before he even regained consciousness, he was already calling her name. Robin anxiously rushed in to find Millie, and she hurried over."The patient's wound has gotten infected, leading to complications. We need to start emergency treatment immediately!""How could this have happened? Wasn't he supposed to wake up?" Robin was beside himself with worry."Millie… Millie…" Even in his fevered delirium, Stefan kept murmuring her name.Millie went over to him. His hand, which had been weakly grasping at the air, finally caught hold of something—her fingers. He clung to her tightly."I'm here, Stefan," she softly uttered.It was as if her words held some kind of magic, as Stefan immediately calmed d

Every word Pierce spoke was firm and impactful. Each word hammered on Stefan's heart mercilessly.Pierce owned up to his mistakes. But what about him? Could he do the same?All this while, he had been shifting the blame to everyone else. He blamed Pierce for stealing Millie away. Then, he blamed Millie for not forgiving him. He even blamed Wanda for seducing him, and the list went on…He had blamed so many people, holding onto their faults while conveniently brushing aside his own. When it came to himself, he always found a way to justify his actions. He completely ignored that he was the true cause of everything.Stefan's grip on Pierce's collar loosened. He took a few steps back in a daze and stumbled on his own feet, causing him to nearly fall to the ground."Those criminals… They're planning to strike again. I agreed to help them," Stefan said."Why are you telling me this?" Pierce responded."She said… She said that if you died, she wouldn't live either." Stefan's voice was

Millie gave Pierce a profound look that contained a myriad of emotions. Pierce could have been selfish and not tell her any of Stefan's good deeds. He could've even stopped her from visiting Stefan. Yet, he didn't do that.After giving Pierce one heavy nod, Millie went over to the adjacent hospital room.Stefan was seriously injured too. His health wasn't as good as Pierce's to begin with, so he still hadn't woken up yet.Robin was in his room, sitting beside him. He kept silently wiping away tears at one side."This is my only nephew. If anything were to happen to him, how would I face his late parents?" Robin mournfully said."Does Grandma know about this?" Millie inquired."I don't have the heart to tell Mom about this. She's old and frail. I don't want her to have a breakdown," Robin replied."I'll keep him company, Robin," Millie said.Robin hesitated for a moment and ultimately nodded. He believed that Stefan would want to see Millie upon waking up. So, Millie staye

"Don't move around. You're still very weak. The doctor said to give you some oatmeal porridge when you wake up. Your digestive system is still quite weak, so you need to eat something that goes down easily."A familiar voice sounded in Millie's ears."G-Grandpa? Why are you here? Where's Pierce? Pierce? Pierce…" After a moment of silence, Millie mumbled, "I forgot… Pierce is dead. Not even his body remains.""What nonsense are you speaking, child? Isn't he lying right beside you?" Bill interjected.Millie visibly froze for a second. Then, she whipped her head around to look. As Bill had said, Pierce was indeed right beside her. Layers of gauze were wrapped around his body, and he seemed to be heavily injured. However, his vital signs were steady, and his heartbeat was rhythmic—he was no longer in a critical condition."Pierce…" Millie tumbled out of bed without a care for the pain in her limbs.Bill quickly went over to support her and combined their beds together."H-How is t
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 648
Millie broke down emotionally. She was done with Stefan's constant self-righteous justification. He always blamed everyone else and deemed himself free of any wrongdoing. He acted as if the whole world had wronged him, while he had never wronged anyone.He painted himself as the pitiful and innocent victim, twisting logic to justify everything he did.Millie was done acting her part. She would let things play out however they should. There was no longer anything tying her to this world. If anything happened to Pierce, she wouldn't live either. Just the thought of being imprisoned by Stefan for three years was worse than death.And so, she locked herself in her room and refused to come out. Every day, the housekeepers delivered her meals. She had no appetite but still ate well.Millie also no longer cared whether Stefan had drugged her food or not. If she turned into a mindless lunatic, maybe that would be better than this painful clarity.…Days passed one after another.One
