"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, "

Wanda explained that she had acted thoughtlessly out of haste and hoped that Stefan could forgive her. However, Stefan ignored her.It was supposed to be the night to consummate their marriage, yet it had turned out this way, with her spending the night alone in the hospital.Wanda's eyes were teary, and her throat was hurting too much for her to even cry out loud.All of this was because of Millie. If Millie hadn't set her up, she wouldn't have brought up the matter of her rape during the banquet, and things wouldn't have escalated to this point.Now, even Stefan was giving her the cold shoulder.Fortunately, they were officially married, so Stefan wouldn't abandon her outright. However, this matter did drive a wedge between them.That bitch, Millie…If Wanda ever got the chance, she would make sure Millie died a horrible death.…Millie was having trouble sleeping that night. To her surprise, Pierce came knocking on her door."What are you doing here?" she asked."To sle

Millie's heart skipped a beat.Pierce intended to consummate their marriage and protect her for the rest of his life.Did he love her or was he doing this because of his sense of duty? Was he choosing her because he knew things were impossible between him and Samantha?Numerous thoughts flooded Millie's mind in that brief moment. She almost nodded in agreement, but upon remembering the situation they were in, she immediately came to her senses."No. I don't want you to be responsible for my life. I can take care of myself. There's no need for others to bear my burden," Millie responded."I'm willingly doing this. I decided that you would be my responsibility since the moment I rescued you," Pierce explained."Your sense of responsibility is unfounded. I'm not worth the trouble," Millie retorted."No, you're worth it," Pierce insisted with great stubbornness while meeting her gaze, each of his words spoken solemnly."Are you going to sleep? If you're not sleeping, then go home.

Stefan was at a loss for words. Pierce had hit the nail on the head. However, Stefan did not intend to hurt Millie this way.He started, "That's why I'm willing to have Wanda make a public apology. Isn't that enough? Pierce, you should know that if this incident escalates, both our families would be implicated—there's no need to do so. Can't we reach a compromise? "Furthermore, if both our families worked together, the others wouldn't dare say anything unless they want their future in Arbelton ruined.""I can't make this decision. I'll ask for Millie's opinion," Pierce simply replied."Pierce! This matter only requires our decision. Why do you have to get her opinion?" Stefan countered."That's because Millie is directly involved. She's the victim here!" Pierce then emphasized each word clearly, "She's like this because of your selfishness. You deserve it."He then added, "Stefan, I'll make sure you pay for every bit of suffering Millie went through.""Pierce, be straight with
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 184
In that instant, Millie's sense of security seemed to manifest itself physically as Pierce. She felt her heart skip a beat and forgot to breathe.She thought that Pierce had gone off to work, but even if he didn't, he shouldn't be waiting at her door. Much to her surprise, he had been waiting there the entire time it took her to make that decision.She couldn't help but approach Pierce and tightly hug him.Pierce hesitated for some time before stiffly moving his arms to caress Millie's back. "What's wrong?" he gently asked."I've come to a decision…" Millie closed her eyes and let out a long breath. "I won't make things public… I'll let that despicable couple off this time!" she resolutely stated. Her original plan was to stand her ground and go down with her enemies in flames. She wasn't afraid of going down that dark path, nor did she care about the consequences—she had less to lose compared to everyone else.However, the moment she saw Pierce, she suddenly felt that she sho

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
