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, going public about this won't do you any good. Don't forget who you are—you're Mrs. Atkinson. If you're planning to go to hell, you'd better see if he's willing to go with you."Without looking back, Stefan gave one last warning to Millie and left.Millie stiffened all over and watched him leave with a complicated look.After taking a deep breath, she resolutely announced, "Starting today, I am officially divorcing Mr. Pierce Atkinson. Tomorrow, I'll finalize the divorce procedures. From this moment on, my actions have nothing to do with Mr. Pierce."At the doorway, Stefan stopped short. His heart raced as her words reached him. Millie was so afraid of implicating Pierce that she was willing to propose divorce.Did she truly care for him that much?Stefan's heart clenched at that moment, and he turned back to glance at her.Under the bright lights, Millie's frail and delicate figure stood straight and resolute. Tears shimmered in her eyes, but her gaze was filled with

"If you want a divorce, it'll be over my dead body," Pierce uttered every word deliberately in a hoarse voice.Millie was stunned to hear that Pierce didn't want to divorce her."Millie, you came into my life without warning as you pleased. Do you think you can leave just as easily? What do you take me for? "If I divorce you now, what kind of man would that make me? Do you want me to let you face those vile people alone? Do you think I'd let you stand up against Stefan and Wanda by yourself?"Do you realize what will happen if you leave the Atkinson family and lose my protection? Stefan and Wanda will crush you in an instant. Do you think you'll even have the chance to hold a press conference?"Pierce asked those questions in a husky voice that held a hint of anger.Millie's heart sank. Pierce was right—without him, she didn't stand a chance against them. In the next moment, she lowered her head, her spirit visibly deflating."Then what should I do? Let them drive me to my de

Millie swiftly took some photos and handed the phone back to the guy."The photos you took look great, miss," one of them couldn't help but praise."Thanks for the compliment," Millie said with a smile.That person was so mesmerized that they stood there in a daze, unsure of what to do. Even when Millie had already walked away, he still hadn't snapped out of it."What's wrong? Do you like her?"Nathaniel Yates finally came to his senses. "N-No. Cut the nonsense. I just appreciate her photography skills."Meanwhile, Millie had gone over to sit by the water and noticed some fish in the lake. It reminded her of the last time she went fishing with Piercy. She was so lost in thought and didn't even notice that Nathaniel was secretly taking a photo of her from behind.He was using an instant camera, so the photo developed quickly.As Nathaniel stepped forward, Millie suddenly heard the noise behind her. She immediately turned around and saw an unfamiliar man, which startled her.

Millie quietly left the room so that Pierce could bid his gun a proper farewell. Then, she went downstairs for breakfast. However, breakfast felt tasteless.Pierce went downstairs after half an hour.Though he didn't have work that day, he dressed in formal attire to make the handover look more proper.The gun was wrapped in a paper bag. He casually set it aside as if nothing was wrong and began eating breakfast."It tastes delicious, you should try some," he casually uttered, serving Millie some food.Millie saw through Pierce's act but chose not to say anything.After that, Pierce remained silent the entire way to the CBP. The atmosphere in the car was heavy.Soon, they arrived at the police station, and Jason came out."Pierce…" Jason whispered, his voice slightly choked. He knew what it meant for Pierce to return the gun this time.Pierce looked at Jason's uniform and couldn't help but give him a firm pat on the shoulder. "Do your best. I have high hopes for you."Jas

Millie had once loved Stefan wholeheartedly, leaving herself no way out. But now, her love for Pierce was only six or seven on a scale of ten. She kept reminding herself that she shouldn't give anyone the chance to hurt her deeply again.Millie had even planned her retreat. If they broke up, she would be the one to walk away the most effortlessly.Once bitten, twice shy.Millie was well aware of her problems. Both she and Pierce had their fair share of flaws, and nobody was perfect. That was human nature."Pierce, you're way too extreme," Millie said."I know," Pierce answered.The most terrifying part was that he knew his flaws too well, yet he had no desire or intention to change.Pierce had suffered for his whole life. As an illegitimate child of the Atkinson family, he'd lost his mother at birth, and his father never loved him. The only place he ever felt a sense of belonging was with his grandfather. He was inherently a cold and unfeeling person, and the first time he bec

The call was quickly answered."Where are you?" Millie asked."I'm still on a business trip," Pierce replied."Then turn on the video. I want to see your face."There was a brief silence on the other end of the call. Millie knew Pierce was lying. "Are you still not willing to tell me the truth? Jason came to the house, asking to take back your gun. What's going on? What happened in the days you were away?""I'll tell you when I get back home." Pierce's voice was a bit muffled.He then hung up the call and removed the bandage from the corner of his eye.The wound was right beside his eyebrow. Since he had dark eyebrows, the scar shouldn't be that noticeable. He could only cling on to this wishful thinking.With that, Pierce returned to the villa.Millie hadn't seen him for days. She felt that he had lost a lot of weight and looked even more exhausted after the trip."How did you get injured again?" she asked.Pierce initially thought it would take her a long time to notic

Jacob eventually calmed down and said, "Do you still insist on doing this when you know it doesn't exactly benefit us?"Pierce replied, "I wouldn't dare to deceive you, neither do I dare to contact you in private. But this doesn't affect our operations, which was why I dared to do so. I want to find someone, but I can't no matter how hard I've tried, so I had no choice but to ask for their favor.""You… Are you still doing it even though we won't get anything good out of this?" Jacob asked.Pierce fell silent and clenched his fists. "Yes. I will resolve whatever problems I've caused. After that, I'll kill them in my own way."Jacob threw his cup at Pierce upon hearing this.With Pierce's skill, he could have dodged it. However, he chose to stand straight.The cup hit him right at the corner of his eye, causing him to bleed."You…" Jacob angrily stood up. "W-Why didn't you dodge?" he asked in a shaky voice."I did something wrong. It's right for you to punish me," Pierce simply

Gideon really admired Pierce's calm and composed demeanor."What's the matter?" he asked."I need you to help me find a lady who went missing. I have to know if she's still alive or not," Pierce answered. "I need her, dead or alive. I can't do this on my own, but with your help, it'll be much easier."He had used every legal method he could think of. But desperate times called for desperate measures, and there was only one option left—to enter the underworld."You're making such a big scene just to look for this one person? What? Is she like your lover or something?" Gideon asked."She's an enemy, the kind that I want dead more than anything."The way Pierce paused after each word made him sound eerily intimidating."Is she also like us, from the underworld?""No, she's just a nobody."Gideon felt chills running down his spine. Having dealt with Pierce for this long, he thought he knew his true nature well enough—a righteous police officer who always played by the book. But ri

Pierce felt like he was drowning, but if someone were to pull him out of the water right now, he would survive.Sometimes, Millie couldn't imagine what would happen if she left Pierce one day because of her disappointment in him. Would he still be able to move on?Pierce survived by clinging onto his sheer will. At first, it was the fixation on avenging his sister's death. But now, it was all because of Millie."What are you going to do now?" she asked."I can't tell you just yet, but I promise it won't take longer than three months."Since Pierce wasn't planning to elaborate, Millie didn't bother to keep on asking either.For the past few days, Millie had been carefully taking care of the wound on Pierce's neck. Even though a small patch of new pink flesh had grown over his wound, it still looked pretty hideous. Fortunately, Pierce always wore suits with collars that were high enough to cover his neck. Millie would always start tearing up whenever she saw his scar.She said,

Pierce was aghast. Mills! His poor Mills!Everyone around Pierce had accused him of committing a crime, but he didn't do it. He had been trying so hard to find out the truth, but in the end, he still got nothing.Did he really betray Millie? Did he really taint himself by sleeping with Sarah?Even if he truly believed that Piercy didn't do anything, he still couldn't find any evidence to prove it.Sarah and Piercy were nowhere to be found either.How was he supposed to prove his innocence? He felt like a trapped beast that couldn't find its way out.Just then, Millie made a subtle twitch. It startled Pierce, and he immediately withdrew his arm around her and pretended to remain unconscious.Millie didn't sleep well at all. The first thing she did after waking up was to check on Pierce. The monitor showed that Pierce's heart was racing.She then brought out a warm towel and gently wiped his face.She began, "Your hair has grown so much longer, but you didn't even properly

Millie rushed forward and saw the disconcerting look in Pierce's eyes.Pierce hadn't rested for two days, so his nerves were stretched to their absolute limit. His eyes were completely bloodshot too.The moment he saw Millie, he grabbed her like he was a drowning man who finally got his hands on a life buoy. His large hands clamped down on her arm with such force that it felt like he was going to crush her bones.Pierce howled, "Tell him to come out, please! He listens to you. Ask him to come out, Millie. I don't care if he takes over this body. I just need him to tell me the truth! Did I betray you? Did I mess around with another woman? I'm begging you…""Pierce, calm down please." Millie tried to soothe him."How can I calm down? I want to be with you, but if I really did betray you, then at least let me die knowing the truth! What am I supposed to do now? How long does he plan to torture me?"Pierce shoved Millie aside, frantically searching around the room. He even lunged at
