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

Millie, in a hospital gown and barefoot, was wandering the street. She appeared disoriented and was muttering to herself. A passerby mistakenly believed that she was mentally ill and called the police. Soon, nearby police located her."Millie?" Jason exclaimed, instantly recognizing her.When Millie saw him, she instinctively wanted to run away.Jason sprinted after her, calling out, "Millie, what's going on? Why are you running?""Let me go!" Millie shouted, struggling in distress. However, overwhelmed by her emotions, she fainted.After that, Jason quickly called Pierce.…As Millie awakened, she found herself in a familiar ward. She stared at the ceiling, her eyes devoid of life and emotion."Millie, are you okay? You're scaring me," Pierce asked in concern.Upon hearing that familiar voice, Millie's mind was flooded with memories. It was the same voice that haunted her from the incident on the boat when she was sexually assaulted. Pierce was such a liar.Pierce took

Pierce clenched his fists and met Millie's gaze without a hint of guilt. "I won't divorce you unless I die."Millie trembled in fury. "You can't stop me, Pierce. Using your grandfather to pressure me won't work as well. He's your family, not mine. Why should I care about you, a rapist?"Back then, Millie struggled to support herself despite her illness and eventually collapsed from exhaustion. Ultimately, Pierce collaborated closely with the police. If he had not resigned, he would have received another medal of honor.Everyone else was just acting, but Millie had been fully invested. She felt like destroying her own eyes and questioned why she would have trusted a man.Pierce slowly stood up and cast a condescending glance Millie's way. "You've misunderstood." His voice was calm and gentle, as it always was. Yet, his eyes were deep like an endless black hole. Once someone was drawn into that gaze, escape seemed impossible. Millie looked at Pierce and trembled in fear. Pierce t

Pierce said, "I've warned you not to push me. You have no idea who you're dealing with. Millie, I've given you chances time and again. This time, you made the first move. I see no reason to let you go now. "I've been patient, but there are limits. Some things are better left untouched, while others demand our utmost effort. Don't be afraid. This is just the beginning."After that, he decisively left.After Pierce left, Millie collapsed onto the bed, dazed and drenched in sweat. She wondered what kind of person she had offended. Pierce appeared upright and resolute, yet beneath the surface lay paranoia, darkness, and an unsettling air. Millie couldn't bring herself to dwell on it any further.She realized more guards were watching over her, making it nearly impossible to escape the hospital. Anxious for a way out, she unexpectedly encountered Samantha, who was in the same hospital. Samantha was still recovering from a gunshot wound in her leg and was still in her wheelchair.
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 268
For a long time, Millie had harbored a deep-seated grudge against Samantha. She mercilessly yanked Samantha's hair and slapped her.With an injured leg that left her unable to defend herself, Samantha cried out in agony.Soon, the elevator door opened. Millie then calmly stepped out and lightly dusted her hands. Meanwhile, Samantha sat in the corner with her swollen nose and face, and her hair in a tangled mess. With a hint of grievance, she trembled and called Pierce. "Pierce, Millie bullied me. She... She beat me."She was crying and complaining when Millie suddenly turned around and showed her fists, frightening Samantha into silence.…Half an hour later, Pierce arrived at the hospital after watching the surveillance video in his car. This time, Samantha hadn't provoked Millie, yet she'd still ended up getting beaten. Pierce rubbed his temples, unsure whether to be angry or to laugh. Nevertheless, he decided to comfort Samantha first.Upon seeing him, Samantha burst

"So, it was great to give Sammy a lesson." As Pierce drew closer, his warm breath brushed against Millie's cheek, causing her heart to race. Embarrassed, Millie instinctively took a step back. For a brief moment, her mind went blank, and she thought that he might kiss her.Pierce gazed at her intensely, his eyes ablaze with emotion. No longer hiding his feelings, his gaze became unmistakably seductive. It was as though he yearned to consume her entirely. Millie's heart raced wildly and pounded like a drum. She quickly looked away. "Pierce, do you deserve your profession? You know the law but still break it. Aren't you afraid..."He asked, "What should I be afraid of? You can report me for sexually assaulting you, and I'll just plead guilty. Go ahead and sue me.""You think I wouldn't dare to do so?" Millie angrily asked.Pierce remained silent, his gaze fixed on her. Then, he unexpectedly stepped closer and lifted her off the ground."What are you doing? Let me go!" Despite

"I want to sue Pierce for knowingly breaking the law and forcing me while he was a customs officer. He committed a crime, and I want him to face the consequences." The words got caught in Millie's throat, and she struggled to articulate them despite countless attempts. Jason was confused. "Millie, what do you mean? What exactly do you want to tell me?""She plans to sue me for malpractice..." Pierce stepped forward to help Millie avoid embarrassment and took the lead in the conversation.Millie's heart raced at Pierce's unexpected confession. She was at a loss for how to respond, but her instinct urged her to place a hand over Pierce's mouth."We're just teasing you. Are you available today? We'd love to treat you to a meal. If you're busy, no worries. We'll head off first." After that, Millie quickly pulled Pierce into the car.Meanwhile, Jason felt bewildered and struggled to grasp the situation. After they got into the car, Millie let out a breath of relief."Why not let me

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

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
