I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 169
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

"Where's Mr. Atkinson? Isn't he going to say something? It's his wife we're talking about, after all," someone in the crowd remarked.All eyes shifted to Pierce.He remained seated, calm and unbothered. His expression didn't betray even the slightest emotion."Everyone is responsible for their own words and actions. Since she made a wager and agreed to the terms, she must face the consequences now," he evenly said.The crowd couldn't help but applaud his stance. He was fair and impartial, which was very befitting of someone who'd once been a police officer."So, Mr. Atkinson, are you really just going to stand by and watch your wife's career go down in flames?" someone asked."If it comes to that, I'll support her for the rest of her life. It's not like I can't afford it," Pierce steadily replied.His declaration made everyone feel as if they'd just witnessed the most romantic gesture a man was capable of.Wanda quickly spoke up to reclaim the moment when she noticed that every

Wanda was the first to laugh. She mocked condescendingly, "Are you out of your mind? How could you even say something like that? I thought you could handle losing. I didn't expect you to stoop this low by spouting such nonsense.""Fine. Let's wait for the 'real' Aurora to arrive, then," Millie said, completely unfazed.Upon seeing her composed demeanor, the crowd began to wonder if she was indeed telling the truth. Could she really be Aurora?Wanda bit her lip, finding the notion ridiculous. She had been in contact with Aurora all this while—how could Millie possibly be her?She remembered that Aurora had given her a backup phone number to call in case they couldn't reach her. Hurriedly, she found the number and dialed it.But to her horror, Millie's phone began ringing.Right there, in front of everyone, Millie took her own sweet time to lift her phone to her ear."Hi," she said warmly, waving at Wanda.The moment Millie's voice came through the phone's speaker, Wanda's vision

"Well, Mr. Atkinson was certainly impartial just now," someone in the crowd commented. They were clearly eager to stir the pot and deliberately draw attention to Stefan.Stefan's displeasure visibly intensified. He shot a cold glare in the direction of the speaker, causing them to shrink back several steps and blend into the crowd.He gripped the wheelchair's armrest tightly, his veins bulging.Pierce must have been aware of the situation. He knew he was in a safe position, so he dared to make grand claims about having Millie honor her wager.But since Pierce had made such a public statement, Stefan had no choice but to follow through. If he sided with Wanda now, he would damage the Leach family's credibility.With so many elite guests present, not to mention the millions of online viewers, the stakes were too high. Public opinion alone could do irreparable damage to him and his company.Despite knowing that this was a hole Millie had dug to make them suffer a loss, he had to con

Wanda wasn't just an individual. She was tied to Leach Group and, by extension, to Stefan. Her humiliation would inevitably reflect on both the company and him, dragging their reputations through the mud.Millie calmly continued, "Or she can apologize to me here and now, in front of everyone. She must admit that she knowingly became a mistress and ruined someone else's relationship."Her words sent a wave of shock through the crowd.As Pierce stood beside Millie, he stared at her with a profound look in his eyes. From the beginning until now, Millie was merely seeking justice for herself. When Stefan and Wanda refused to give it to her, she took it upon herself to fight for it.She had always been this way. On the outside, Millie appeared meek and gentle, as if she was never one to lose her temper. But Pierce knew better. Beneath that exterior, she was fierce and uncompromising. She couldn't tolerate even the smallest injustice.Perhaps there truly was nothing left between M

Millie opened her mouth like she was about to say something. But in the end, she didn't manage to say anything. Instead, she leaned closer to Pierce and gently rested her head on his shoulder. She suddenly felt utterly exhausted and wanted to rest for a moment by leaning on him.Pierce instinctively straightened his back and sat stiffly, not daring to move an inch.Meanwhile, Wanda had regained consciousness in the lounge. Even so, her mind was still reeling. She sat frozen, staring intently at the chat log between herself and Aurora.She refused to believe that Millie was Aurora. Millie must have tricked her.Wanda contacted the organizers of the international design competition and sent them Millie's photo. She prayed fervently that they would say that Millie wasn't Aurora. That way, she could confront Millie and call her out for being a liar.Unfortunately for her, the response she got was: "Yes, that's Aurora!"The moment she read that text, her heart plummeted into a botto

"Yes, I never expected her to be such a cruel and ruthless person," Stefan said, his expression grim."Stefan, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I'll apologize to her and quit the design industry for good. I wasn't trained for this field anyway," Wanda said.She decided that taking a step back was the best choice for her now. Having resigned herself to the loss, she decided to endure the humiliation now and find a way to get revenge later on. Millie was far too cunning, and Wanda had severely underestimated her opponent. "You won't have to apologize in front of millions of viewers," Stefan said."Really?" Wanda looked at him, feeling relieved and appreciative. Having a powerful man by her side enabled her to smooth over such situations relatively easily.But before she could celebrate, Stefan's next words sent her spiraling into despair."You'll go out there now and admit that you ruined my relationship with Millie by knowingly coming between us. I'm sorry, but you'll have to

Millie's mind went blank. She had never expected Wanda to reveal the traumatic experience that she dreaded more than anything."Wanda?" Stefan was equally stunned. He had never planned to let this incident come to light. It would tarnish Millie's reputation and also his own by extension because Millie had still been his girlfriend at that time.Wanda glanced back at him, giving him a reassuring look as if to say she knew what she was doing.Stefan clenched his fists but said nothing further.Wanda went on, "Everyone, this is the kind of family scandal one would usually keep private, but this concerns both my husband and my dignity. So, we have no choice but to address it. "In order to survive, Millie had surrendered herself to the kidnappers. There were so many men on that ship—who knows how many violated her?"She then paused for effect before continuing, "Tell me, how could someone so sullied and tainted marry Stefan? I got my chance after they broke up. What I did was dishono

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
