Pierce's growing frustration made Millie even more nervous.

"Why do you want to go to their wedding and dress up so nicely? Are you trying to get Stefan's attention?" Pierce asked.

"What?" Millie was dumbfounded. It turned out that Pierce was angry because he'd believed she was dressing up for Stefan. He did appear jealous, so she asked, "Are you jealous of Stefan?"

Frowning at her question, Pierce said sternly, "You're overthinking this. You're Mrs. Atkinson now, but you're dressing like that to catch your ex's eye. Have you ever considered my feelings? Millie, don't go too far. My tolerance for you is limited."

"Fine. What if I add a shawl?" Millie relented.

"Do you really have to go?" Pierce's voice was hoarse. He didn't believe she was going just to witness Stefan's wedding. He continued, "He's the one who dumped you. Don't you have any resentment? Why are you so eager to watch him marry someone else?"

After all, Millie should be hurting. Stefan slept with her, but instead of

    Just then, Wanda's phone rang. It was from the person she had sent to pick up Aurora, who was arriving in Arbelton today."Is everything okay? Did you manage to pick up Ms. Aurora? She's a very important guest, so please make sure nothing goes wrong," Wanda said."Mrs. Leach, we've been waiting forever but haven't seen Ms. Aurora. It's also hard to recognize her since we don't have a photo," the person on the phone replied."Didn't you have a sign?" Wanda asked."We did! We held it up until our arms were sore but still didn't see her," came the response.Feeling uneasy, Wanda quickly called Aurora, but there was no answer. She began to worry whether her plan might go wrong.Today was not only her big moment but also the perfect chance to put Millie in her place. She could already picture how satisfying it would be to see Millie's downfall. There wouldn't be another moment as perfect as today.Wanda sent a few messages to Aurora, but there was still no response. Just then, her st

    Millie frowned and feigned anger. "How could you go back on your word?""We never signed a contract, and you don't have any witnesses. How will you prove I'm going back on what I said? Let me tell you, our bet is still on!" Wanda shot back."What's the point of that? Since neither of us managed to invite Ms. Aurora, calling it a draw won't make things awkward," Millie argued."Who said I failed like you?" Wanda said."Do you mean you actually got her to agree? That's impossible!" Millie was doing her best to look panicked and desperate. Then, she once again pleaded with Wanda to call off the bet.Wanda's resolve only strengthened at Millie's apparent distress. With a smug smile, she adjusted her dress and said, "My hair and makeup aren't even done yet. I'm not wasting any more time listening to you."With that, she called her stylists back in and said to Millie, "Please leave. Have yourself a lovely day.""Wanda, there's no way you actually got her!" Millie called out as she lef

    The tingling sensation sent shivers through Millie's body, filling her with an indescribable pleasure. Tears welled in her eyes, and her ears flushed crimson along with her face. She was dazed and consumed by a burning heat. Her voice was barely a whisper as she begged, "Stop! It really hurts. Pierce, let me go!"Hearing her distress, Pierce finally relented. Instead of biting, he began teasing her skin with the tip of his tongue.That only made her knees weaker. She nearly collapsed, but he steadied her by the waist. What the hell was Pierce doing now? Was this some crazy dream, or had he completely lost it? How could he do something this shameless in the emergency stairwell?Millie bit her lip hard to keep herself from making any embarrassing sounds. Her mind was a chaotic mess, but one thing she clung to was the resolve not to let out a single moan.Just then, Pierce's husky voice brushed against her ear, "Are you afraid Stefan might hear us?""Huh?" Millie stammered. It wasn

    Standing there, Pierce's desire and anger had completely faded away. He felt awkward and stammered, "So, you were looking for Wanda just now?"Millie was beyond frustrated with him. She really wanted to slap him, but they still had to attend the wedding. Since he was her husband now, she couldn't let him show up with bruises. Not only would it be bad for her reputation, but Stefan and Wanda would likely make fun of them. So, she knew she had to bite her tongue and hold back her anger.She had rested enough to walk, so she said, "Put me down!"Knowing he was in the wrong, Pierce replied, "Sorry, I'll take you to fix your dress now."But instead of putting her down, he carried her straight to the lounge.Once they arrived, Millie rushed to the restroom to adjust her Nubra and fix her dress. She took off Pierce's coat and looked at her disheveled self in the mirror.Her dress had become loose and sagging. It was even slipping enough to reveal one side of her chest, which was marked

    Pierce grunted in agreement and didn't dare look. He was afraid he'd lose control, consumed by obsession.Millie didn't stand on ceremony—she bit down hard without hesitation.Pierce let out a muffled groan. Millie was unsure if his response was because she had caught him off guard or if it hurt. It could also be some other reason.The sound he had made was muffled and husky. At that moment, Millie's imagination was running wild. She couldn't shake the feeling that it carried a hint of something more suggestive and intimate.She let go upon noticing that Pierce was sweating. Fine beads of sweat covered his forehead, and some even rolled down. His brows were tightly knit,and his thin lips were pressed into a firm line. Even his jawline was taut.Millie watched Pierce's Adam's apple move up and down. A single bead of sweat happened to slide down, triggering an inexplicable restlessness in her heart.She had originally planned to bite the other side to make it symmetrical, but her r

    Fueled by the buzz surrounding the wedding, Leach Group's share price increased.Leach Group and Atkinson Group had always been fierce rivals for the top spot in the business world. Now, their competition was neck and neck, making it hard to tell which company held the upper hand. It felt as though they were advancing side by side.Upon seeing the snow, Wanda couldn't hold back the tears that slid down her cheeks. She was overwhelmed by the touching gesture.Stefan felt his heart race as he watched the woman he loved the most making her way toward him. He was finally marrying the girl he had dreamed of marrying in his youth. Though the journey had been fraught with obstacles, the two of them had reached their happy ending.All he cared about was Wanda. Millie had been nothing more than a fleeting distraction that drew him away temporarily.As this thought crossed his mind, his gaze drifted to the audience. He noticed Pierce holding Millie close to him. They looked every bit like a

    Millie had just set down her phone when Pierce leaned in, trying to get a look. Instinctively, she turned the screen off and gave him a wary look.This was critical to her plan succeeding. Other than Julian, who had managed to independently deduce that she was Aurora, she hadn't shared this with anyone."Are you up to no good?" Pierce murmured, his voice low enough for only the two of them to hear.Millie felt a bit guilty. "No. What mischief could I be up to?""You're lying to Wanda. You're the international designer," Pierce said."How do you know that?" Millie stared at him in shock.Pierce's deep gaze lingered on her. There was a glint in his eyes that she couldn't quite decipher."Did you investigate me?" she asked, puzzled but not entirely surprised.It made sense—he was going to marry her, after all. Naturally, he'd want to ensure there were no skeletons in her closet. Still, she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed."You're not planning to sabotage me, are you?" she

    Wanda's words stroke a chord in Stefan.It wasn't just Wanda who felt like she didn't recognize Millie anymore. He, too, found her completely unfamiliar. It was as if he had never truly known her.For three years, the gentle and agreeable Millie that he thought he knew had only been the version of herself that she wanted him to see.Stefan had believed he had her eating out his palm in those three years. But now, it was clear that Millie had been the one playing him for a fool.He silently clenched his fist and said, "Go ahead and make the announcement, then. She can't blame us for driving her into a corner since she was practically asking for it.""Thank you, Stefan. I was worried you'd think I was a cruel woman. I had no choice but to…" Wanda trailed off, her eyes brimming with tears."Alright, Wanda. We've been together for so many years. Don't I know what kind of person you are? Stop crying and fix your makeup. We're heading out soon," Stefan comforted.Wanda nodded and turn

    Millie looked at Pierce and couldn't help but lament on missing out on the perfect "genetic material".Meanwhile, Pierce's face remained cold. "Millie, once bitten, twice shy. You're the most spineless person I've ever met. "Get out. I don't need you to take care of me."Left with no choice, Millie slinked out of the room, feeling defeated. Then, she called Tobias and asked him to look after Pierce instead.After that, she called Sharon to report her failed plan.Sharon exclaimed over the phone, "What? I can't believe that he didn't touch you even after all that. Is there something wrong with his brain? I mean, I understand that he's a righteous man, but this is over the top!"Millie sighed and replied, "I don't get it either, but I'll respect his principles. Anyway… how does one apply for a donor from a sperm bank?""Are you really going for it?" Sharon inquisitively asked."I just want to look into it. Pierce and I have been married for nearly four months, and in another eig

    Blood gushed from the wound, staining Pierce's gray trousers a darker shade as it spread. "Pierce? Pierce!" Millie's voice grew sharper as she rushed toward him. Pierce's face had turned noticeably pale as beads of sweat formed on his forehead. His body burned with unfulfilled desire, yet the intense pain sent waves of cold through him. The alternating heat and cold left him drenched in sweat. "What are you doing?" Millie asked, her voice trembling. "You've underestimated me," Pierce said, freeing one hand to firmly grasp her chin. "This is my final warning—either you stay by my side wholeheartedly and become Mrs. Atkinson for life, or stop provoking me. The cost of toying with me is not something you can afford." "Pierce, I'm sorry… Please don't hurt yourself anymore," Millie pleaded. "I told you, that drug won't kill me," Pierce said through clenched teeth. The pain in his leg wasn't enough. Though the agony momentarily suppressed his desire, it surged back wit

    When Pierce said those words, he raised an eyebrow, exuding a devilish charm that was impossible to resist. Millie couldn't help but think that if he hadn't chosen the path of righteousness, he would have been the most evil villain.Pierce was the type to be either wholly good or entirely wicked.Before long, not a drop of wine was left in the carafe.Millie's heart raced with uneasiness. She was unsure of what Pierce's unpredictable behavior meant. He had known about her plan, so why did he still drink the wine?When Pierce stood up, the effects of the drug kicked in immediately. His whole body radiated heat, and his gaze turned hazy. Those strikingly captivating upturned eyes now seemed to be filled with unrestrained passion. Millie, who hadn't even drunk any wine, felt an intoxicating dizziness just from meeting his gaze."Take me to the bedroom," Pierce murmured. His voice put an inexplicable hold on Millie. She couldn't resist and just did as he said, stepping forwa

    The title on the cover was: "Sperm Procurement Plan". As Pierce skimmed the document, he saw two options stated—Plan A: Natural conception; and Plan B: Sperm donation and IVF.The document stated that from the moment Millie conceived, the child would have nothing to do with him. His child wouldn't have a share of any inheritance, appear before him, take his last name, or call him "Dad"."Millie…" Pierce silently clenched his fists and uttered Millie's name through gritted teeth.At that moment, Tobias decided to slip away, albeit he did so awkwardly. Even he thought that Millie had gone too far this time. How did she even come up with something as outrageous as to keep her child but not her husband? What did she take Pierce for?In fact, Tobias was very puzzled as to why Millie was always so keen to get divorced.…Sharon stayed at the villa for three days before Pierce arranged a new place for her. It was even better than her previous dwelling, with ten years of rent paid up

    "You know, they say men in their 30s have intense physical needs. Pierce is about 27 or 28, so he's at the peak of his needs. If he's not getting some at home and not sneaking around outside, how much frustration must he be bottling up? Has he been handling it all by himself?" Sharon wondered aloud.Millie choked on the water she was sipping.Sharon pressed on, "Doesn't he have any desires? And what about you? Don't you want him? Aren't you tempted by his body?"Millie's face turned bright red. "What are you talking about? I've realized that men are the most unreliable things on earth. We can only rely on ourselves.""You're not wrong there," Sharon began. "Men are indeed unreliable. But what about children who share your blood? Since you don't trust men, why not keep the child but not the man? You can have a child of your own."Just look at Pierce—his height, looks, intelligence, and character are all top-notch. His sperm quality is probably impeccable! Life drags on and gets lon

    "We're best friends, Sharon. Don't worry about troubling me," Millie said.The commotion outside had quieted down. Millie wanted to open the door and take a look, but Pierce lightly knocked on it before she could do so."It's a bit of a bloody scene outside. I've got to say it's not a pretty sight. I'll have it cleaned up first. You can come out later, okay?" he said."Alright. Are you okay?" Millie asked."I'm okay," Pierce responded.Millie finally breathed a sigh of relief."What's this? Were you worried about him?" Sharon suddenly teased, leaning over.Millie quickly denied it. "Of course not! It's just that he came here because of me. If he got hurt, I'd feel guilty.""To be honest, Pierce seems to care about you a lot. He got here so fast. That's the main reason I called you. Isn't he so much better than Stefan?" Sharon praised."They're all the same—neither of them is any good," Millie replied in exasperation.Soon, Pierce called them from outside. Everything had been

    "The gun can't kill anyone! It can only cause minor injuries." Someone had figured out that the gun was a deception.Millie had gotten the gun from Thomas. If it could severely injure people, they would all be arrested by the police."Millie, you should go…" Sharon said. Then, she lunged forward and hugged the bodyguard at the front, wanting to buy Millie some time to escape. However, the door was locked from the outside and couldn't be opened in a short time. Besides, Sharon had a small physique too and couldn't buy that much more time for Millie.When Millie saw that the bodyguard was about to hit Sharon on the spine with his elbow, Millie's heart raced. She quickly rushed over to the bodyguard and blocked him from hitting Sharon with her arm.Suddenly, there was a cracking sound, and Millie's face paled in pain. For a moment, she didn't know if she had a fracture or a dislocation. Either way, her right arm was limp and numb. Was her arm crippled now?"What are you waiti

    The celebrity was Zachary Richard, a lead actor in a TV series. He had won the best actor award twice and was a star praised by his viewers. He had achieved success at just over 30 years old and was the envy of many. Currently, he had reached the peak of his career, and besides that, his wife was the princess of Beafast. For such an upright person, such a scandal could ruin his entire career in addition to severe consequences from his in-laws."Hand over the video," Eva instructed."Release her first." Millie demanded."Are you trying to bargain with me? What right do you have? You're just a nosy, lowly reporter. I could squash you like an ant if I wanted to." Eva assumed that Millie and Sharon were both reporters."If you don't give it to me now, I will make you." Eva immediately signaled for the bodyguards to start attacking Millie."Touch me if you dare. If you touch me, the videos will be released immediately." Millie threatened.At that moment, one of the bodyguards spok

    When Millie overheard the scandalous conversation, her ears turned red in embarrassment. Goodness, what were young ladies thinking these days? She cleared her throat to remind them to be more discreet. Immediately, the maids fell silent and quickly went back to their tasks. Then, after grabbing her phone, Millie left. …About half an hour later, Pierce descended the stairs in a fully buttoned suit with a perfectly tied tie. He exuded an air of restraint that contrasted with his earlier athletic appearance, intensifying his allure."Should I drive you to work?" he asked."No need. I will drive there myself. Otherwise, it'll be difficult to return later." Millie rejected his offer.Pierce pressed his lips together but said nothing more. After that, they both ate breakfast very quietly. Pierce was the type who never spoke while eating, and this gave people the impression that he was a calm and composed individual.It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was aloof. I
