I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 173
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

That night, Millie couldn't sleep. She spent hours organizing evidence of Stefan's infidelity.Sharon had managed to gather some of it, but her findings weren't comprehensive enough. Millie realized she needed Pierce's help to fill in the gaps.She worked until her eyes blurred with exhaustion and hunger gnawed at her stomach. Having skipped dinner, her empty stomach was starting to ache. So, Millie decided to head downstairs to grab herself some food.As she did so, she was surprised to hear the sounds of people talking at that hour.Pierce and Samantha were having a conversation in the living room.Samantha hadn't attended Stefan and Wanda's wedding that day because one of her close friends had also gotten married on the exact same day. She had been a bridesmaid at that event. So, she had just returned home."Do you know what people are saying about your wife? They're spreading stories about her being defiled by God knows how many men. Do you have any idea how humiliating thi

At the hospital, Wanda eventually regained consciousness after the anesthesia wore off. Her eyes welled with tears when she saw Stefan. She wanted to speak, but the pain in her throat was unbearable. No sound came out no matter how hard she tried.Her expression became one of panic as she frantically pointed at her throat. She was scared that she might never speak again."The doctor said that you haven't lost your ability to speak. You'll be able to talk again in a couple of days," Stefan plainly said.However, it was uncertain if she would ever regain her original voice after this—it was hard to tell at this point.Wanda let out a sigh of relief and grabbed her phone to type what she wanted to say.She wrote: "Pierce had gone overboard! How could he do this to me? He's a man—how can he stoop so low as to hold a grudge against a woman like me? You must avenge me!"But when Stefan read her words, his face remained emotionless. Instead, he coldly stared at her as he questioned, "

Unfortunately, Millie was still preoccupied by Pierce's situation that she hadn't picked up on the subtle hint in Julian's comment."Besides, things are fine as they are. Marriage is all about living life with someone. Being with Pierce isn't too bad," Millie said. Then, she lowered her head to work on her design drafts, missing the flash of disappointment that crossed Julian's eyes.Julian wondered—if he had appeared in Millie's life before Pierce, would she have chosen to live her life with him instead?Julian knew that he should be content with the hand that he'd been dealt. After all, Millie was already married. Even if there wasn't much affection between the pair, it would be immoral and against the law to interfere between them.But how could he accept losing the one he loved just because he was a step too late?He had to try.…Millie had recently been focusing on her career.Regardless of the prejudice others held against her, they couldn't deny her talent. Internatio

"Jason came by today," Pierce said.Millie's heart stuttered at his words. She had almost forgotten about it. It seemed like the approval had gone through, and he had received his gun."I see," she simply replied.Millie wanted to ask if he liked it but stopped herself when she recalled that he didn't celebrate his birthdays.However, Pierce seemed to have guessed her thoughts. He gently stated, "I really like the gift you gave me.""That's good. Let's eat." Millie changed the topic."I'm sorry I've disappointed you," Pierce said."It's nothing. You should have told me earlier. I don't want to hear about you from Samantha. You can tell me things yourself, but if you don't… then forget about it. I'm not that interested anyway."Although Millie was in front of him, Pierce felt like she was very far away. Millie didn't dwell on what had happened and never brought it up again. It was as if nothing had happened. However, Pierce knew this had left a mark that was hard to erase.

Millie tried to break free, but Pierce held her too tightly that it even caused her ribs to ache."It Hurts..." she couldn't help but let out a soft cry.Pierce immediately released her and anxiously looked at her. "I… didn't mean to do that. I hurt you, right? I'll be more careful next time..." He was rather a little flustered, as if he were a child who'd done something wrong."It's fine. Just get back to bed and lie down," Millie replied.So, Pierce obediently lay back on the bed.Millie then asked, "Are you hungry? I passed by a fast food restaurant earlier. Many people are eating there even though it's so late. It must be delicious, so I got two portions to go."Pierce simply nodded at her words.When Millie looked up, she felt like she was falling into a deep abyss. Pierce's gaze was intently fixed on her, and it made her a little uncomfortable. "Why are you staring at me like that?" she asked.Only then did Pierce look away.This felt unreal to him."I thought you wer

Millie was rather annoyed. "What do you want to say?""Millie, aren't you curious about how Pierce got injured?" Tobias asked."I don't care," she retorted.Tobias began, "Ms. Atkinson was hurt. If the wound had been a little deeper, it could have severed an artery, and she might not have survived. "Pierce didn't know that you were innocent. Back then, all the evidence was against you. Ms. Atkinson was adamant about punishing you too. She's his sister, and you're his wife—he was caught between the both of you."Tobias continued, "He didn't want to let his sister suffer, but he also didn't want to punish you. He wanted to return a knife wound with another, but because he took the blame on your behalf, he decided to punish himself with two cuts."Pierce is an honest person. He could have made it superficial, but no—he insisted on cutting deep enough to expose the bone. That way, Ms. Atkinson would be appeased and not trouble you any further."He then added, "He ended up covered

Millie's mind raced. At that moment, she desperately wished to crawl into a hole. "I… I'm a caregiver who was hired to care for you tonight," she lied."Millie, I'm a police officer. I can easily see through your disguise," Pierce replied.Millie blushed. She forgot that he was a professional.She took off her mask, annoyed. "It's me. What about it? I've come to see if you've died," she retorted, deliberately putting on a fierce attitude. "Since you're not dead, I'll leave now…" Millie quickly walked over to the door. However, the moment her hand touched the handle, it fell off.The door was broken. Now, she couldn't leave at all."Is there anyone there? Open the door! Help!" she called out.But no matter how much Millie yelled, there was no response from the other side of the door. She then gave the door a hard kick in a fit of anger, but it was only to hurt her toe in the process. The pain made her grimace and nearly made her cry.Upon seeing this, Pierce—not caring th

Millie didn't think she'd see Tobias here. He was working at the front desk, so he didn't notice her. He then hastily left.Millie froze. Tobias kept saying that Pierce was sick. He said his condition wasn't too good, and he hoped that she would visit. However, Millie was still angry with him, so she constantly refused.Over the past two days, Tobias hadn't sought her out. Hence, Millie was under the impression that Pierce wasn't seriously ill and that he had recovered. But considering how Tobias was in the hospital now, did this mean that Pierce might still be here too?"Millie, why are you still here?" Julian suddenly asked."Julian, could you help me ask around if Pierce is in this hospital? Is he unwell? Is it serious?" Millie simply replied."Sure, I'll do that for you.""Don't disclose that I'm the one asking, okay?" Millie added."Alright, I understand," Julian answered with a smile. However, as he turned away, his expression turned bitter.If Millie understood his fee

Tobias grew increasingly anxious. If Millie were to speak up and ask Pierce to take care of himself, he would undoubtedly listen.After Pierce finished his meeting, he was already running a low-grade fever. Still, he continued working as though nothing was wrong. Tobias couldn't bear it anymore and decided to personally find Millie.At that time, Millie was at her studio handling some work."Millie, Pierce has been working nonstop. He's skipping lunch, and he's only sleeping four or five hours a night. No one can withstand such exhaustion no matter how robust they are."You don't have to visit him. Just give him a call or send a message to ask him to rest. If you do that, he'll definitely listen to you," Tobias pleaded."His body is his responsibility. If he doesn't care for it, what does that have to do with me? Don't overestimate my importance. My relationship with Pierce is just… ordinary," Millie replied, her tone detached. But as she uttered those words, a hint of diffidenc

The commotion subsided after everyone had been dragged away. Finally, Millie felt a rare moment of peace.She wasn't a saint. Why should she go easy on the maids who had tormented her?Millie glanced at Pierce, wondering if he regretted his decision to marry her. After all, she was indeed a bad woman in the eyes of others. If he wanted a divorce, she'd agree without hesitation.But Pierce's intense gaze was filled not with disgust. Rather, it was filled with admiration.Millie couldn't fathom what he meant by that."Take a moment to rest. I'm going upstairs to grab something," Pierce said."Do whatever you want," Millie replied indifferently.A short while later, Pierce came back down. He said, "I've moved all my belongings to the guest room. It's locked, so you won't have to see them. I won't be staying here. You can make any changes to the house you like."In fact, you can even tear it down if you want. The maids answer only to you, and I'll cover the expenses. If they're n

After that, Stefan didn't come and visit again.Millie stayed in the hospital for five days, during which her condition steadily improved. She no longer felt light-headed when she stood, and the bruises and injuries on her body began to heal too.When it was time to leave, she packed her things and decided to go to the villa to retrieve her personal belongings.During her hospital stay, Millie had barely spoken to Pierce. He'd come to visit her daily, and although sometimes he would be delayed by work, he would still come late at night. Often, it seemed like he wanted to say something, but he ultimately held himself back. His deep-set, unreadable eyes seemed to hold countless emotions, but Millie didn't try to decipher them.When she was discharged, Pierce drove her back to the villa.To her surprise, she was greeted by a row of maids in matching uniforms as soon as she entered. All of them were unfamiliar faces.They stood respectfully and greeted her in unison, "Greetings, Mr
