"Why don't we… let Kent manage the company for now? When my brother comes back, we can discuss it again," Samantha suggested.Mille heard her voice from outside the room."No—" Tobias burst through the door, exclaiming loudly."Since Samantha has suggested it, I'll take on the responsibility to lead—" Kent Gomez, the vice chairman, was interrupted in the middle of his sentence. "Wait!" Tobias' voice cut through the room. "Mr. Atkinson has only been missing for a few hours! Aren't you all being too hasty? Everyone should remain in their roles and keep things running as usual. No one has the authority to make any decision!""And who do you think you are?" Kent retorted in disdain. "This is a directors' meeting. Who gave you the right to speak here?" The room erupted into murmurs, with many people voicing their disagreement with Tobias.Even Samantha seemed lost and agreed with them that contingency plans were necessary. If Pierce's death was announced, the chaos in Arbelton woul

Milie was so harsh that no one dared to talk back to her. She was betting on her life now."Fine. You won this round. Let's see if you can keep winning in the future." Kent stormed out of the place. Samantha looked at Millie's belly with a shocked expression. "Are you pregnant? This has got to be a trick. Pierce never told me about it.""Let's go, Tobias." Millie didn't even bat an eye at Samantha. She turned around and left, leaving Samantha to scream and holler. Then, both of them arrived at the CEO's office. Worried, Tobias said, "Why did you put your life at risk, Millie?""You're the one who said we have to believe in Piere. If I'm going to put my trust in him returning here, then I have to act as if I won't die."Tobias pursed his lips. He said what he'd said to comfort Millie. Why would she have believed him wholeheartedly?Millie reassured him, saying, "Don't worry. I'll be fine. I said it to stop Kent from getting the upper hand. By telling him that I'm pregnant,

After Pierce said his piece, he left without any hesitation. To this day, his words still had a deep impression on Stefan. After Pierce had left, Stefan calmed himself down and gave his words a long thought. What did Millie do to deserve him abandoning her over and over?The truth was that Millie had entrusted herself to Stefan completely when it all began. These thoughts, combined with the sight of Millie now, washed over Stefan and overwhelmed him, making it hard for him to breathe. "Millie..." Stefan thought about how close they used to be and called her in the most affectionate way. However, Millie mercilessly cut him off and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Leach. Are we close? Please refrain from calling my name in such a tone. Your wife might misunderstand and think that there's something untoward between us."Millie was sharp and hostile, glaring at Stefan and clenching her fists. She would never forget the way he'd hurt her, not even in a million years. As far as she was

That was when the office phone rang again—it was time for another meeting again. Kent wanted everyone in Atkinson Group to have meetings over menial matters. In his words, Millie was the CEO's wife. So, she had to decide on everything, big or small. They were in a dire situation now, and everyone was standing by at their respective workstations. So, Millie couldn't take a break. She asked Tobias to prepare the documents for the meeting. Then, she asked him to run everything with her, giving her a chance to get familiar with the contents. That would make it easier for her to make a decision. If Millie wasn't sure how she should proceed, she would follow Tobias' proposal. That way, she wouldn't make mistakes. Tobias began, "Kent has overdone it. You explicitly told him that you're pregnant and that you need rest. Everyone knows that we shouldn't overwork a pregnant lady too."But he calls for a meeting with the top management staff at the slightest trouble. He jumps through ho

Meanwhile, Tobias told Pierce about how Millie had dragged her weakened body around to take charge of the situation in Atkinson Group for more than 30 hours. He made sure that Pierce knew that she was the sole reason Kent didn't gain any advantage over him.Tobias said, "Millie is certainly impressive, Pierce. I've always wondered what lady deserved a hero like you. I mean, you might've married her, but I never thought she was good enough for you. "However, I finally understand that she could hold her own against any man. You can't let her down in any way, Pierce.""Don't worry about it. I won't." Pierce cast an affectionate gaze toward Millie, who was sleeping on the hospital bed. He was reluctant to tear his eyes away from her. Tobias then added, "I'm worried that she might leave you if you let her down in some way, Pierce. With her charm, any wealthy man would want her. On the other hand, you might never find someone like her ever again if you lose her."Pierce was at a loss

Millie was certain that she wanted to kiss and hug Pierce right now. Her kisses were tender, and they lingered on Pierce's lips.Millie was very serious about the kiss. She pried Pierce's lips and teeth open with her tongue before entangling her tongue with his. Their breaths mingled with each other's, and she felt his strong arms lifting her off the floor. Pierce clasped Millie's ample buttock, and she responded by pinching his firm waist with both her feet. Then, he raised her higher and lifted his head to kiss her harder. The kiss became more intense by the second, both of them longing for the other's sweet nectar. Eventually, however, Pierce regained his rationality and let go of Millie's lips. In spite of this, his gaze was laced with deep and sensual desires.His voice was hoarse as he said, "Stop it."Given their position, it just so happened that Millie was pressing against Pierce's groin. She could clearly feel how hard and searing it was. On top of that, it was pro

If Pierce ever hurt Millie, even just a little, she would retreat immediately, too afraid to take another step forward. So now, dealing with her would require a lot of time and patience."Millie, do you know why they chose me to go undercover?" Pierce asked"Why?" Millie didn't understand why Pierce was bringing this up out of nowhere.Pierce answered, "Because I'm patient enough. I won't reel in the line until the fish bites down completely, no matter how long it takes. When I take on something, I see it through to the end. There's no challenge I can't conquer." He gazed at her with unwavering determination.Millie felt a little embarrassed under his intense stare. "I… I might not be so easy to conquer.""Then let's wait and see," Pierce simply said.Just then, the nurse knocked on the door. "Um… are you done talking? I need to come in and change the IV. Once I'm done, I'll be off my shift."Millie, startled like a frightened rabbit, quickly jumped off Pierce's lap. She scurrie

Millie's mind exploded like a bomb the moment she heard those words. Her brain went blank, her ears buzzed, and she couldn't make out anything else William said after that. The phone trembled in her hand."That day on the boat, the man who assaulted you was Officer Pierce.""Officer Pierce…"Pierce Atkinson. How could it possibly be him?Millie exclaimed, "You're lying! You're trying to deceive me, to drive a wedge between us and take revenge on Pierce, aren't you? Don't even think about it! Pierce would never do something like that. He just wouldn't!"William replied, "You think he's some righteous gentleman? When he was undercover, he got involved with my sister. They went through everything together—even held a wedding in the Golden Triangle. He's ruthless and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. You've never truly known him!"Do you know what happened to my sister? She took a bullet for him, saved his worthless life, and he repaid her by cruelly sending her to pr

"No one will regard you as a mute even if you don't talk," Pierce said irritably.Tobias frowned, not daring to speak anymore.Pierce rushed back to the sanatorium and found Millie dozing by the bed while Bill was sleeping deeply and peacefully.The doctor said, "Ms. Jordan has been by Mr. Atkinson Senior's side constantly, handling everything. She even took over as caregiver when Mr. Atkinson Senior had no appetite. She cooked some appetizing meals for him."Over the years, we've all seen how Ms. Jordan treated Mr. Atkinson Senior with such care. She's genuinely kind-hearted and isn't someone looking to manipulate the situation for personal advantage."The elderly brought here were from powerful families, and their children were too busy to care for them, leaving them lonely. At least they would have some company here.No one in the Atkinson family was looking after Bill, who was stubborn and a loner. After getting into an argument with Donald, Bill moved here on his own accord.

Nero knew he would die for sure, but he didn't want to die for some fabricated accusations. It turned out Pierce was fuming because he thought that Nero laid his hand on Millie.Pierce still had more to say, but Nero couldn't hold on any longer.His wounds were bleeding profusely. They hurt so much that he felt completely numb. At last, he couldn't handle the pain anymore.Nero blacked out, completely losing consciousness. Pierce's brows pulled together in a deep frown. He was very confused. Judging from Nero's reaction just now, he didn't seem like he was lying. Everyone knew that Millie was Pierce's wife. Thus, Nero should have known what he did wrong when he was brought here, but he still asked for the reason so he wouldn't die in confusion. Something felt off in this situation. "Find a way to wake him up. He hasn't finished what he was saying yet," Pierce said.Tobias hastily brought some chicken soup over, helping Nero to regain consciousness. Finally, Nero woke up

Nero was also a Caledynian. He was called "Nero" because he was slightly more tanned than the others.Both Nero and William worked in the Golden Triangle area. They mostly made smuggling trades in Solandra's black market, especially in places like Moanelay and Lyza. "Who are you, and why did you take me here?" Nero asked.If the police had arrested Nero, he would have been sent away to be interrogated. So, why was he secretly brought here?"You're here, Pierce," Tobias said, ignoring Nero. He walked over to Pierce when he heard the footsteps. Nero was flabbergasted the moment he saw Pierce. "You… You're Pierce Atkinson?"Pierce was a legendary customs officer with a lengthy list of achievements at a young age. Besides, he had arrested a large number of underground dealers, including Nero's accomplices.People like Nero swore an oath to kill Pierce if they ever came across him whenever they were out there dealing in the black market. Everyone was desperate to kill him to as

Pierce asked Millie that question with determination.Millie fell silent. Technically, she should treat Pierce and Stefan similarly and steer clear of Pierce.But her heart always swayed when it came to Pierce for some reason. It was probably because Pierce was always there for her whenever she had a hard time. Whether it was before or after their marriage, he never disappointed her. He wasn't like Stefan, who kept breaking her heart to the extent that she had gotten used to it. Stefan was constantly deliberating the pros and cons and picking the side that benefited him the most. To him, Millie was always the one who could be discarded as the other option.On the contrary, Pierce had never made her his second option. There was an awkward silence in the room. Millie didn't know how to respond to Pierce's question. As she was pondering her answer, she saw the corner of Bill's eye twitch. Was he regaining consciousness now?"Grandpa… Grandpa's eyes twitched just now," she sa
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 353
"Why are you here?" Pierce asked, despite knowing the answer."Grandpa must have been confused and called me in his disoriented state. Is he doing alright now?" Millie asked urgently. "I don't know what's going on inside." Pierce shook his head. "They're still performing emergency treatment on him. But the doctor did mention that his condition was quite severe this time. Grandpa might not be able to…" He drifted off, not finishing the rest of his sentence.Millie staggered on her feet, almost falling to the ground. She knew it was only a matter of time before Bill would have to say goodbye to the world, but she didn't expect it to be so soon. It had barely been a year!Bill had always looked after her. Ever since she married Pierce, Bill treated Millie even better than before. Despite the gossip about her, Bill always empathized with her, feeling her pain as if it were his own.Although she didn't have blood ties to Bill or Agnes, they still showed her the utmost love and c

Pierce said, "Yes, I wanted to marry her. So, the fact that you were pretending to be sick wasn't really a threat to me. You just provided me with a valid reason to do so."He continued, "I've transferred you to a different sanatorium these three years instead of letting you stay alone because of her too.""I see. No wonder you insisted that I stay here despite how much I dislike Mrs. Leach Senior. You're certain I'd see Millie here often and like her, huh?" Bill asked in curiosity."Not really."Pierce hadn't expected things to turn out this way. All he wanted was to see Millie more often. After finding out that Millie was taking care of Agnes in this sanatorium, he decided to visit Bill frequently to increase his chances of seeing her.Even a quick glance was more than enough for him. "Well, why did you agree to a divorce then? I don't understand at all. You care about her so much," Bill said.Bill knew that they were going to get a divorce. In fact, he wanted to stop them.

"Mrs. Leach Senior, I won't go. After all, it's your family gathering. How about I treat you to dinner alone some other time?" Millie suggested."You're part of my family too," Agnes insisted."I know you care about me, but Stefan is married to Wanda. If I attend, how do you think Wanda will feel? I don't want to stir up unnecessary trouble," Millie replied.She wasn't afraid of Wanda, but she had no desire to see her again. Wanda had already lost everything, especially after losing the baby. Her real goal wasn't to fight Millie to the bitter end—it was to secure Stefan's affection.Unfortunately, she had lost the ability to conceive children. The Leach family's vast fortune would eventually require an heir. No matter how much Stefan loved her, Wanda was destined to be abandoned.Millie found herself pitying Wanda. As always, her schemes had spectacularly backfired against herself."But I invited several exceptional young men to meet you. It's a chance for you to meet potential s

"Stefan, I've already ended up this way, yet you're still going to see your ex?" Wanda asked as tears streamed down her face."Wanda, it's not what you think. Grandma is back and wants to host a family gathering. She wanted Millie to come as well," Stefan explained."Family gathering? And you're inviting an outsider?""Wanda, Millie was with me for three years. When Grandma was ill, it was Millie who took care of her and kept her company."Wanda scoffed. "I could've done that too. Do you think I didn't want to? Why is my life so miserable? My family went bankrupt, and before my parents passed, they left me with your family. Your parents looked down on me, so they sent me overseas and married me off to an abusive drunkard!"My life after marriage was hell on Earth. It was a nightmare! Your family owes me more than anything Millie ever did for you in those three years. I am your wife now, and yet your grandmother is still thinking about someone else?"Is it because your grandmothe

Stefan felt his stomach churn violently. The smell alone was nauseating, and all Wanda had done was add a pinch of salt for flavor. How could she possibly eat the placenta stew with an overpowering fishy smell?Wanda ate happily, enjoying every bite. For a moment, Stefan had an unsettling thought—it didn't seem like she was eating a placenta, but a child.He waited until she finished before heading downstairs, acting as if nothing had happened."I'm leaving now," he said calmly."Wait, Stefan," Wanda said, stopping him."Is there anything else?""Are you really just going to forget about the incident? If Millie hadn't argued with me and pushed me, the accident wouldn't have happened. Even if she wasn't the mastermind, she should still bear some responsibility. "She's an accomplice to killing our child, Stefan. Are you really not going to seek justice for our baby?" Wanda asked while shedding a few tears. Her crying made her act look sincere and convincing.When it came to cryi
