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

"No! Mr. Atkinson, you can't do this! I did it for you!" Carlos cried."I don't know Yulia personally, nor did I secretly ask you to take care of her. No wonder she kept misinterpreting my intentions and tried to get close to me. You were part of the reason that she's delusional," Pierce said with a scoff.Yulia must have assumed that all the special treatment Carlos had given her was Pierce's doing. Naturally, she would have started to fantasize.Pierce also reflected on himself. He never should have sympathized with her or helped her in the first place. When he saw her, he had been reminded of Millie from years ago and had wanted to make up for his inability to help her back then in some small way. Never did he expect that it would cause so much trouble for him.Whatever compensation John decided to ask from Yulia was none of his business too.After that, Pierce sent Carlos away and began addressing the false rumors spreading online."Well, well. You seem to have a lot of rom

Yulia believed that Pierce must have felt the same way. Since fate had brought them together, how could she possibly give up?Now that Pierce had paid for her hospital stay, she felt she should recover properly and not waste his kindness.…Meanwhile, back at Atkinson Group, Tobias never mentioned the matter to Pierce. The situation had been urgent when Yulia was hospitalized, and anyone would have covered the cost in such circumstances. After all, a life was at stake.Tobias reported, "Mr. Atkinson, the former Head of Sales, Carlos Reyes, keeps asking to see you. The receptionist has alerted me about this multiple times. He said he needs to see you for something important. Do you want to meet him?""Is he the one Mills fired?" Pierce coolly looked up."Yes," Tobias replied."Useless trash like him isn't worth my time," Pierce indifferently responded. After all, anyone who crossed Millie had also crossed him.So, Tobias immediately informed Carlos that if he ever came again, he

Yulia kept waiting for an opportunity, but the two times she saw Pierce, he was with Millie. The sight of this drove her mad with jealousy. How she wished she could tear Millie apart. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't be struggling just to get into Atkinson Group now.And so, Yulia obsessively staked out the parking lot every day like a madwoman. As a result, she had grown noticeably thinner. Sometimes, she saw Tobias. However, she didn't approach him. But finally, after nearly a week, she found her chance.Pierce had arrived alone with no one in the passenger seat. Just as he got out of the car, a shadow flitted into his peripheral view. As a former police officer, his reflexes were sharp. He immediately subdued the person with a grappling move."Ow… Ouch! It hurts…" Yulia pitifully whimpered.Pierce hadn't seen Yulia's face yet. He only realized that it was a woman and that she posed no real threat. So, he released his grip.However, upon realizing that it was Yulia, he

"Thank you for stopping me from acting recklessly, Mr. Atkinson," John said, wincing from the pain."You need medical attention," Pierce reminded him. He didn't even spare Yulia a glance while she was lying unconscious on the ground.Soon, Yulia regained consciousness in the hospital. Only her mother, Helena, was by her bedside. She looked around but didn't see her beloved Pierce."Pierce… Is he away to get my medicine?" Yulia weakly asked, struggling to sit up.Helena wept and said, "That man you keep talking about never showed up—not even once.""Impossible!" Yulia gasped in disbelief, her eyes widening. She had been in such a dire state. How could he not come to visit her?Helena went on, "Not only that, but the club is holding you accountable, and Mr. Presta is also demanding compensation. We've received two court notices. The lawyer told me that we need to pay five million dollars in total!""Five million dollars is nothing. If I ask Pierce, he'll definitely give it to
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 586
As soon as Yulia walked in, her eyes were wet with tears. She looked pitifully at Pierce, acting as if the nightclub had forced her into selling her body and that she had suffered countless injustices.She walked straight toward Pierce. "Mr. Atkinson, I never expected us to meet again in a place like this."Pierce frowned because he wasn't exactly familiar with her.While the other hostesses were enthusiastically entertaining other men by pouring drinks and joking around, Yulia was the only one wearing a mournful expression. Clearly, she was dampening the mood."Mr. Atkinson, do you have any idea how miserable my life has been since Mrs. Atkinson kicked me out of Atkinson Group? My father went back to gambling, and those people even took my mother away. If I didn't return to this line of work, I wouldn't have any way to survive."They were originally willing to give me a one-month grace period because I had a stable salary at Atkinson Group. But now… Mrs. Atkinson has ruined me!"

"Ms. Shaw, if you don't leave now, someone will have to escort you out," Tobias said.So, Yulia slunk downstairs in embarrassment. She even got to see Tobias harshly reprimanding the receptionist."Are you out of your mind? How dare you bring just anyone to the CEO's office? You're fired!" Tobias sternly said.The receptionist argued, "But, Mr. Shaw, this isn't my fault. She's someone Mr. Atkinson seems take special care of—""That was nothing more than a few minor favors. You failed to do your job properly, so don't make excuses. Pack your things and leave," Tobias stated indifferently.The receptionist felt deeply wronged, and her gaze toward Yulia turned resentful.Yulia didn't understand where things had gone wrong. Pierce had seemed to be so concerned about her previously, so why was he being so cold to her now? Had Millie discovered something? Was that why he wanted to cut ties with her completely?Feeling lost and dejected, Yulia left the company, only to run into Carlo
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 584
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
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 582
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
