Millie felt a wave of dizziness and collapsed to the ground.The sight of her falling made everyone's chests tighten.Stefan instinctively ran off the stage toward her, but before he could reach her, Millie had already fallen into Pierce's arms.The moment Millie saw Pierce, she whispered his name, "Pierce…" With that, her strength gave out entirely, and she slipped into unconsciousness.Pierce's heart clenched at the sight of the deep gash on Millie's calf. Without hesitation, he scooped her up into his arms and rushed to the hospital.The wound on Millie's calf needed more than a dozen stitches. On top of that, the rust in the wound raised her risk of contracting tetanus, so the doctors had started her on antibiotics right away.However, Millie's immune system was weak. So, she experienced a high fever for days and remained unconscious.At the time of the attack, Tobias had found Samantha while checking the cleaner's room. She had been drugged and was unconscious.Since Milli

Millie woke up to find a familiar face staring at her.She immediately felt a wave of overwhelming emotions and clung to Pierce's neck, holding him tightly.She felt like a child, utterly helpless in that moment.Pierce's heart ached for Millie as he gently stroked her head. His voice was soft and comforting as he whispered, "I'm sorry I'm late."He had believed that Millie and Samantha were taken away in a cleaning cart and had immediately chased after the vehicle, but it had all been a diversion.He'd realized his mistake and turned back, but the delay had cost him precious time. By the time he returned, the press conference was nearly over.Millie cried for a while before gradually calming down.She didn't blame Pierce. Anyone would have assumed that it was a kidnapping. But in reality, it was just a tactic that Stefan had used to ensure she missed the press conference."Is Samantha okay?" Millie suddenly asked, concern flashing in her eyes.Even though Millie didn't like S

The post was likely from a socialite, with tags like "wedding of the century" attached.In the photo, everyone stood clapping and cheering. Among the crowd, someone had captured a faint silhouette through the gaps between the people.Onstage, a couple was locked in a passionate kiss. Offstage, another couple was also stealing a quiet moment, their embrace and kiss going unnoticed by most.Someone commented, "What a beautiful shot."Millie zoomed in again and again. Whether it was due to the filter or the angle, the image was unclear and showed only two vague outlines.Still, she knew without a doubt that it was her and Pierce.They had kissed in secret, and somehow, it had been caught on camera and shared online.Fortunately, the image was blurry, and the publisher didn't elaborate. So, the viewers had no idea who the couple was.Millie locked her phone. But moments later, she unlocked it again. Almost without thinking, she saved the photo. After all, it was quite a beautiful

Millie's eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't believe that such a bold statement had come from a little boy."H-How old are you? Do you even know what it means to get married?" Millie asked."I'm already ten. I'm not a kid anymore. Of course, I know what it means—it's spending my whole life with you. I'll be good only to you, and you'll only be good to me," Caleb replied matter-of-factly.Millie was stunned, but more so by the fact that he claimed to be ten! He barely looked six or seven, and his frame was frail—a clear sign of malnutrition."Why do you want to get married? You're just a child," Millie exclaimed.Caleb dropped his head, his expression crestfallen.He began, "When Mom passed away, she held my hand and said that she wouldn't get to see me grow up and get married. I… I won't get to grow up into an adult either. So, I just want to make her wish come true and find a bride ."Millie's heart clenched at his words.His mother had died. And he was sick—gravely ill, j

"Does he have a gun? The very powerful kind?" Caleb asked."Of course," Millie replied without hesitation. "His aim is legendary. He could hit a target a hundred yards away." Millie started shamelessly fabricating the story.Caleb's eyes sparkled with awe, all traces of his earlier fright gone. "Can he turn invisible?""Sure. He can easily climb walls and move things without touching them!""Does he shoot webs like a superhero?""Only foreign superheroes can do that, but we're not into that. Instead, he's mastered martial arts and street fighting."Pierce had been away for over ten minutes, and Millie spent every second of it exaggerating his feats.She didn't notice Pierce at all even though he was standing beside her, still enraptured in her fabricated storytelling.She continued, "He can even capture ghosts! If someone dies unjustly, he can negotiate with the devil in hell and bring them back.""Wow, that's so amazing!" Caleb exclaimed."Millie, if you were Pinocchio, your

Caleb seemed a little cautious. When it was just him and Millie, his smile was genuinely bright. But now that Pierce was here, Caleb didn't know how to smile anymore. Instead, he offered a classic fake smile, grinned broadly to show his teeth, and raised a peace sign."Move aside a bit." Pierce wanted to be next to Millie and mercilessly squeezed Caleb aside.Millie angrily glared at him before wrapping an arm around Caleb and pulling him closer with a faint smile."Miss, can I kiss you?" Caleb asked."Of course," Millie replied.So, Caleb happily kissed her cheek.Just as Millie raised her phone and was about to capture the moment, Pierce suddenly leaned in from the other side.Caught off guard, Millie took the photo.In the photo, she was smiling brightly, with one person on each of her sides, both of them kissing her cheek.Millie cast a peculiar glance at Pierce. She wished he could stop acting like this. After all, people would easily misunderstand them.Millie thought t

"Millie, just because you've come across a piece of trash, you're writing off the whole lot. Isn't that a bit too hasty?" It was a long while before Pierce finally spoke up."Maybe. Anyway, I don't have the courage anymore," Millie responded.Upon hearing these words, Pierce remained silent with his fists tightly clenched.His biggest regret was being one step too late. He had been away on a job when he received the news about the Jordan family. Without hesitation, he'd rushed back without taking a moment to rest. He was only a day late, and Stefan had already reached out to assist her.Secretly, he had stolen a glance at her once—it was three years ago when Millie still possessed that youthful and innocent glow. The way she gazed upon Stefan was like she was admiring a deity, overflowing with admiration and affection.He had protected so many people. Yet, he couldn't protect the one person he cared for the most.One misstep, and it was all over.He realized that he would ne

On the inside, Millie was losing her mind. Did Pierce know how irresistible he was being?Millie couldn't stop the rush of her blood to her head. Her breaths came in short gasps, and her cheeks flushed with heat.Pierce had a way of exuding raw sexual energy. His hand was on her leg, slowly stroking up and down.Millie felt herself growing weak under his touch. In a flustered state, she quickly pulled away her foot.Pierce raised his gaze, looking at her with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?""Your grip was too strong. I'll do it on my own," Millie replied."Just say the word, and I'll be more gentle." Pierce's fingertips inched closer and softly grazed against her calf.Immediately, Millie pulled away, avoiding his touch. "I'd rather do it myself. I'm not used to this.""Why is your face turning red?""Oh, I'm just tired and need to rest.""Okay then, go ahead and rest."It wasn't until Pierce left that Millie felt like she could finally compose hersel

After that, Millie went upstairs to look for Pierce and told him the story of her firing Carlos and Yulia."Okay," Pierce nonchalantly said. He didn't even look up once, and his tone sounded very calm as well."I've been laying off employees without your consent. Don't you have anything to say about that?"Pierce laughed after hearing what Millie said. "You're my wife, so you also have a say in Atkinson Group. You're just exercising your authority, so why would I say anything about it? I know you're not a reckless person. If you fired them, you must have had your own reasonings." Pierce didn't even question why Millie had fired two employees or the reason behind their layoffs.What's done was already done. He couldn't care less about the two employees who got fired."Does this mean that I can do whatever I want as long as I'm here?" Millie asked."Of course! Whatever I own is also yours. I'll even let you sit on my lap if you want." Pierce sounded exactly like a king back in th

While some people chose to stay away from Yulia to avoid getting into trouble, there were still a few who sided with her. Then again, these people were just going to use her as a stepping stone to climb the corporate ladder with less effort."You're firing me? What did I even do wrong?" Yulia confronted the HR Department."The case that you messed up here has cost Atkinson Group millions of dollars. This big of a screw-up is enough to get you fired."Even if Yulia filed for labor arbitration, she would not receive any compensation. But of course, she couldn't be bothered by that small amount of money anyway. As long as she managed to keep her job in Atkinson Group, she would still be working under Pierce's leadership and was bound to see him again eventually. Unfortunately, she was about to leave the company for good. Now how was she supposed to see Pierce again?"I have to go find Mr. Reyes," she said.However, when she came to Carlos' office, he seemed to be in a gloomy

Millie had the distinct feeling that Yulia and her colleague were talking about her, but she had no proof. All she could see were their furtive glances.She became annoyed by their persistent glances and said, "If you two have something to say, why don't you say it out loud? Are you gossiping about me?""Of course not! I have no idea why you'd say that, Mrs. Atkinson," Yulia replied with a smile."You better not be lying."Yulia and her colleague left the elevator when they reached their floor, leaving Millie standing there with a frown.Millie just couldn't bring herself to like Yulia. It led to her pondering whether she should just fire Yulia. That way, she wouldn't have to see her every time she visited Atkinson Group.The strange thing was that Millie had never seen Yulia before when she was still working here. But now, she ran into Yulia almost every single time she came to Atkinson Group.In the end, Millie made up her mind to just fire Yulia.Instead of heading to the CE

When Yulia tried returning the cleaned clothes, she ran into Tobias downstairs. "Mr. Shaw," she greeted."Who are you?" Tobias didn't even remember Yulia."We met before at the CEO's office.""Oh, I remember you now. Is there something you need?" Tobias curiously looked at Yulia.Yulia showed him the bag in her hand. "Is Mrs. Atkinson coming in today? I accidentally stained her clothes last time, so she told me to have them dry cleaned. They're cleaned now, so I wanted to return them to her. "If she's not here, I can hand them over to Mr. Atkinson instead.""Give the clothes to me then. I'll handle it." Tobias extended his hand.However, Yulia shook her head. "These clothes are very expensive. It's better for me to return them in person. It's going to be troublesome in case something goes missing."Women's clothing tended to have accessories, and some were not cheap either.Tobias was not Millie, so naturally, he didn't know what the clothes originally looked like. If somet

Millie couldn't help but share with Pierce who she'd met earlier on."Who?" Pierce asked."Do you still remember the young lady who tried to hit on you while we were waiting in line to buy cake last time? She's currently working at Atkinson Group—as a permanent employee, no less! She's probably been working here for a while."Since interns had a three-month probation period, Yulia must have worked for the company for quite some time now if she was already a permanent employee. "Really?" Pierce didn't know this, but neither did he care about it. He simply continued, "By the way, I have something to tell you too. I met her not long ago—she was being forced to work at a nightclub. Apparently, her family was declared bankrupt, and loan sharks were looking for her to collect debt."When I saw her, I couldn't help but think of you. If I had not been sent on a mission and stayed at Arbelton back then, maybe you wouldn't have been forced to a dead end. And in turn, maybe you wouldn't hav

"Are you all done with your work? Why are you slacking off during working hours? "Yulia, your proposal is terrible. Fix it!" It was Isabella. She just could not stand the arrogant look on Yulia's face.Yulia pouted, but she didn't dare get on Isabella's nerves. After all, she was the top performer in the sales department.When she got the chance to see Pierce, she was definitely going to talk about how Isabella was bullying her.When Isabella walked away, someone immediately took the proposal from Yulia. "I've done something similar before. Let me do it. It won't take me too much effort anyway.""Thank you so much.""Yulia, I bought an extra cup of coffee. Here you go.""Thanks, Wady."So, Yulia sat leisurely at her workstation. The only eyesore was that paper bag. If only it was really Pierce who'd sent it.…Besides getting her clothes dirtied, Millie's body was also sticky, so she decided to take a shower.Once she was done, she got out of the shower wrapped in just a

Yulia had been waiting for Pierce to reach out to her first, but there was still not a single sign from him even after waiting for a few days.She had not expected Pierce to have so much patience. Was he playing hard to get?Every day, Yulia waited for Pierce in the lobby on the first floor, wanting to see him one more time. Because of that, she came in late for work, but no one said anything about it.However, what was disappointing was that she never succeeded in meeting Pierce—not even once. Little did she know that Pierce's car was parked in a designated location and he took the elevator, so he never passed through the first floor at all.Instead of running into Pierce, Yulia ran into Millie.When she saw Millie coming, she instinctively tried to put her best foot forward. She intentionally walked toward her and then pretended to bump into her, spilling the coffee she was holding onto Millie."I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that," she apologized.Millie glance

Isabella returned to her office and grew angry at the sight of Yulia trying to win everyone over outside. Despite still having feelings for Pierce even after his marriage, Isabella wouldn't commit immoral acts and refused to become a mistress.Never in her wildest dreams had she expected Pierce to be such a disgraceful person—a man who fooled around despite being married. He was nothing but a piece of trash, and she couldn't believe that she had liked him for nothing. Very quickly, she found the mutual group chat that she shared with Millie, where she had saved her contact under the nickname "109"."109, did you know that Mr. Atkinson is cheating on you?" Isabella typed out the message, but it felt wrong. So, she calmed herself and reassessed the situation. To her knowledge, Pierce had always been a righteous man. He was unlikely to make such a mistake. There had to be some kind of misunderstanding.If there was nothing going on, her words would become a depth charge, set

As Yulia said those words, she secretly looked forward to Pierce's response. After all, she would be thrilled to be involved with a man like Pierce.She had had her eyes on Pierce back then, and now that he'd saved her life, she saw him through rose-tinted glasses. Now, she was deeply and helplessly in love with him."It's fine. Think of it as charity," Pierce calmly said. Then he said, "Tobias, let's go straight to the conference room. Get ready to start the meeting." With that, he walked straight ahead without sparing Yulia a single glance. Yulia watched as Pierce left, her eyes filled with admiration.As she exited the Atkinson Group office and looked at the towering skyscraper, her excitement was beyond words. She never imagined that she would have the opportunity to cross paths with the renowned Pierce Atkinson in this lifetime. It was just that he was too cold toward her, which made it impossible for her to get close to him. On top of that, he was married, and from wha
