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
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 182
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

If it weren't for Wanda's stupidity, she could have avoided the trap.All she had to do was apologize in public. However, she had to bring up the incident of Millie getting raped, which caused the situation to spiral out of control.Requesting a public apology from Wanda at this juncture was akin to a slap in her face. Despite that, Stefan understood that they were at fault, so he was willing to accept that level of humiliation.However, demanding that Wanda cry publicly crossed his bottom line. Wanda was officially Mrs. Leach. If she were to cry while apologizing to Millie, the level of humiliation was beyond what he could accept."That's impossible," Stefan flatly refused.Millie wasn't surprised by his response at all. Both Mr. and Mrs. Leach would have to suffer through the same humiliation, after all."There's no need for further discussion then. Let's just go down in flames together," Millie replied indifferently."Millie, won't you think about your own reputation? Aren'
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 186
However, Millie merely gave Stefan an indifferent glance and turned away. After all, Wanda's expression at the moment was too good to miss out on.Wanda was white as a sheet, and even her lips were colorless. She blankly stared at Stefan, unable to regain her composure for quite some time.Millie found it somewhat ridiculous.Wanda truly overestimated her value. She would be Stefan's priority so long as his interests weren't at stake. But once it involved Leach Group, Stefan would abandon her with no hesitation. Millie understood that from her three years with Stefan, yet Wanda didn't. She most likely thought that since she was Stefan's first love and was of great importance to him, she was an exception to the rule.But reality proved that there were no exceptions.With this in mind, Millie couldn't help but look at Pierce.Why was it that Stefan would put Leach Group's benefits above everything, while Pierce was willing to gamble everything for her and shoulder risks that were

Millie gently closed the box.Suddenly, a single tear slipped down, landing silently on the surface. Only then did Millie realize that she had been crying. She wasn't sure if she was mourning the love she once had or if her tears were for something else entirely.No wonder Pierce had told her to look at it in private. He didn't want to see her shedding tears for another man."It's all in the past. Why send this now?" Millie murmured.She wiped away her tears and picked up her phone. "Tobias, do me a favor. Auction something for me. Donate every last cent of the proceeds to charity. Not a single penny should be kept."She then ended the call and looked at the small box again. At least this way, it would be put to good use…Afterward, Millie headed to the study to check on Pierce. He watched her closely, his deep eyes unreadable.Millie pretended not to notice and said, "You keep working. I'm just going to sketch for a while."Pierce pressed his lips together as if he wante

Millie followed Pierce back home. As she stepped into the familiar space that belonged to just the two of them, her heart felt heavy with emotions.It had been two months since she had last been here, yet everything remained unchanged. Even the wardrobe had been stocked with new seasonal outfits.In those two months, Millie had lost a lot of weight. So, Pierce instructed the kitchen to prepare nourishing meals for her. He was determined to bring her back to full health.Pierce remained bedridden for another half month before he could finally use a cane to walk around a bit. His right leg was still severely injured, and every step sent searing pain through his body, making his face go pale and his forehead damp with cold sweat.Millie couldn't bear to watch him suffer and urged him to rest. But Pierce was stubborn and walked until his legs trembled, and he could no longer stand. Only then would he sit down."Does it hurt?" Millie worriedly asked."It doesn't. I just need to pr
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 654
With that, Millie turned around and left without hesitation. But just as she was about to step out of the room, Stefan's voice called out behind her once more, "Millie, I owe you an apology for everything. I never really said it before. It's late… but at least I'm finally saying it. "Millie, I'm sorry. I was the one in the wrong." Stefan's voice was soft, weakened by his injuries. It sounded as though those few words had drained all the strength from his body.Millie's body stiffened, and her hands were tightly clenched into fists at her sides.Stefan was apologizing at long last.Millie wanted to turn around to see if he was truly sincere or if this was just another one of his manipulations. However, she held herself back. Unimportant people didn't deserve even a second glance.Millie didn't say anything. She didn't say whether she would or would not forgive him. She just walked away.Stefan's face turned even paler. He knew that after everything he had done, he would never

Millie didn't want to see Pierce struggling alone, bottling up all his pain like a wounded lion licking its wounds in solitude.Upon hearing her words, Pierce simply tightened his embrace around her. "Mills… I'm scared…""I know. I understand," Millie whispered, gently patting his back."I'm afraid I won't be able to lift you anymore, and I'm afraid I won't be able to run or jump. I'm scared I won't be able to fight the bad guys and protect you anymore." Pierce's voice was soft and barely above a whisper. His sorrow was almost imperceptible, but it could be because he still hadn't fully released his emotions.Millie started, "You still have me. If you can't carry me, then don't. If you can't run fast or jump high, then I'll slow down and walk beside you. I can be your crutch and your support for a lifetime, okay?"And listen, Pierce, you may not be able to fight on the front lines anymore, but you're still there in spirit. We can move to the back lines to provide funding and strat

Pierce didn't tell Millie everything—such as the fact that Stefan had initially wanted to kill him. He spared Stefan some dignity, not wanting Millie to hate him forever.Millie stayed in the hospital to care for Pierce for two days when there was finally a change in Stefan's condition.Before he even regained consciousness, he was already calling her name. Robin anxiously rushed in to find Millie, and she hurried over."The patient's wound has gotten infected, leading to complications. We need to start emergency treatment immediately!""How could this have happened? Wasn't he supposed to wake up?" Robin was beside himself with worry."Millie… Millie…" Even in his fevered delirium, Stefan kept murmuring her name.Millie went over to him. His hand, which had been weakly grasping at the air, finally caught hold of something—her fingers. He clung to her tightly."I'm here, Stefan," she softly uttered.It was as if her words held some kind of magic, as Stefan immediately calmed d

Every word Pierce spoke was firm and impactful. Each word hammered on Stefan's heart mercilessly.Pierce owned up to his mistakes. But what about him? Could he do the same?All this while, he had been shifting the blame to everyone else. He blamed Pierce for stealing Millie away. Then, he blamed Millie for not forgiving him. He even blamed Wanda for seducing him, and the list went on…He had blamed so many people, holding onto their faults while conveniently brushing aside his own. When it came to himself, he always found a way to justify his actions. He completely ignored that he was the true cause of everything.Stefan's grip on Pierce's collar loosened. He took a few steps back in a daze and stumbled on his own feet, causing him to nearly fall to the ground."Those criminals… They're planning to strike again. I agreed to help them," Stefan said."Why are you telling me this?" Pierce responded."She said… She said that if you died, she wouldn't live either." Stefan's voice was

Millie gave Pierce a profound look that contained a myriad of emotions. Pierce could have been selfish and not tell her any of Stefan's good deeds. He could've even stopped her from visiting Stefan. Yet, he didn't do that.After giving Pierce one heavy nod, Millie went over to the adjacent hospital room.Stefan was seriously injured too. His health wasn't as good as Pierce's to begin with, so he still hadn't woken up yet.Robin was in his room, sitting beside him. He kept silently wiping away tears at one side."This is my only nephew. If anything were to happen to him, how would I face his late parents?" Robin mournfully said."Does Grandma know about this?" Millie inquired."I don't have the heart to tell Mom about this. She's old and frail. I don't want her to have a breakdown," Robin replied."I'll keep him company, Robin," Millie said.Robin hesitated for a moment and ultimately nodded. He believed that Stefan would want to see Millie upon waking up. So, Millie staye

"Don't move around. You're still very weak. The doctor said to give you some oatmeal porridge when you wake up. Your digestive system is still quite weak, so you need to eat something that goes down easily."A familiar voice sounded in Millie's ears."G-Grandpa? Why are you here? Where's Pierce? Pierce? Pierce…" After a moment of silence, Millie mumbled, "I forgot… Pierce is dead. Not even his body remains.""What nonsense are you speaking, child? Isn't he lying right beside you?" Bill interjected.Millie visibly froze for a second. Then, she whipped her head around to look. As Bill had said, Pierce was indeed right beside her. Layers of gauze were wrapped around his body, and he seemed to be heavily injured. However, his vital signs were steady, and his heartbeat was rhythmic—he was no longer in a critical condition."Pierce…" Millie tumbled out of bed without a care for the pain in her limbs.Bill quickly went over to support her and combined their beds together."H-How is t
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 648
Millie broke down emotionally. She was done with Stefan's constant self-righteous justification. He always blamed everyone else and deemed himself free of any wrongdoing. He acted as if the whole world had wronged him, while he had never wronged anyone.He painted himself as the pitiful and innocent victim, twisting logic to justify everything he did.Millie was done acting her part. She would let things play out however they should. There was no longer anything tying her to this world. If anything happened to Pierce, she wouldn't live either. Just the thought of being imprisoned by Stefan for three years was worse than death.And so, she locked herself in her room and refused to come out. Every day, the housekeepers delivered her meals. She had no appetite but still ate well.Millie also no longer cared whether Stefan had drugged her food or not. If she turned into a mindless lunatic, maybe that would be better than this painful clarity.…Days passed one after another.One
