I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 269
"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

For once, Pierce wanted to be reckless—why couldn't he?"Millie, stop asking questions. I admit to everything," Pierce softly said. He wasn't sure if he regretted it. If given another chance, he might still do the same.He knew his sins were unforgivable. After laying it all bare, it had left an irreparable rift between them. But what was done was done, and there was no denying it."You can resent me and hate me all you want. It's too late now. I won't let you go," he added.Millie's heart plummeted into an abyss. She demanded, "Why me? Why does it have to be me?"Pierce's face turned even paler. He pressed his thin lips together but said nothing.In pain and despair, Millie closed her eyes as a tear rolled down her cheek.She had seen the best of Pierce. He had always appeared when she was at her lowest and fished her out of desperate situations. Not only that, he had also protected her and respected her.But in the end, it was all a cruel joke."Pierce, what other sins hav

William was brought to the villa. He was covered in blood, and his clothes were torn to shreds. The white fabric was so stained that its original color was unrecognizable. Meanwhile, his face was bruised and swollen. One of his eyes was a gory mess and had gone completely blind.He collapsed onto the floor, coughing violently before spitting out a mouthful of blood. Then, he rolled onto his back and began to loudly laugh."Pierce… Oh, Pierce…" He was missing a front tooth, which caused his words to awkwardly slur. "You should've handed me over to CBP right away. But instead, you detained me here on your own. You want to vent your anger, eh? Aren't you supposed to be the most upstanding, law-abiding officer?""I'll turn you in, alright. It's just not the time to do so yet," Pierce said. There was a dark edge to his tone "You shouldn't have told her those things.""Ha… You can't blame me for that. I thought she already knew," William said, his speech punctuated by occasional coughs

"Ah!" William let out a scream of despair before passing out from the pain. His face turned deathly pale, and his cold sweat mixed with the blood covering his body.Tobias, who was standing nearby, winced instinctively and sucked in a sharp breath. He involuntarily flinched and felt the pain in his own crotch just from witnessing the scene.Pierce stood over the unconscious William and looked down at him with a cold expression. He then casually pulled out a tissue and wiped his fingers clean. Then, he tossed it onto William's face."Take him to CBP, Tobias. Tell Mr. Sommers that I'm willing to cooperate with them," Pierce said.Tobias immediately nodded. He had been managing Atkinson Group for years and was well aware of Pierce's undercover work. From what he could piece together that day, it seemed like Pierce was determined to eliminate every smuggler who had been on that ship that day for hurting Millie. No one would be spared.The ones who had escaped so far were Nero and th

Samantha froze in disbelief as Millie's words fell. Was she hearing things? Was Millie serious about leaving? Could this be real?Samantha suspiciously eyed Millie. "Why?""I don't like Pierce. We don't get along, so I want to leave. But he won't let me, so there's nothing I can do," Millie replied."What kind of spell have you cast on Pierce?" Samantha begrudgingly asked. She was utterly frustrated, though there was a hint of envy in her voice. How marvelous would it be if Pierce favored her above all?Samantha had once thought that Pierce treated her differently. She'd thought that she was unique. But all the treatment she had enjoyed thus far didn't hold a candle to how Pierce treated Millie. The care and love he showered her were unconditional.Samantha's jealousy burned bright, but there was nothing she could do about it. But now, Millie wanted to leave. If she left, wouldn't that mean that there would be no more competition?"Do you have a way to help me leave?" Milli

The door opened, and Samantha ran out clutching her cheek, crying. Millie's caregiver peeked inside and saw Millie lying calmly on the bed. It was clear who had come out on top."Ms. Jordan, are you going to rest now? Lunch will be ready soon. Should I bring it in before you sleep?" she asked."I'm tired. I'm going to sleep now," Millie replied, her voice muffled under the blanket she had pulled over her head.The caregiver didn't dare disturb her and quickly shut the door to avoid making noise.Meanwhile, "Samantha" sped up her pace and hurried out of the hospital. Having already been discharged, there was no reason for her caregiver to follow her. Pierce had sent someone to pick her up, but she deliberately left early, so no one was waiting for her at the entrance.She quickly hailed a cab."Where to?" the driver asked."The airport, please," Millie hastily said.Samantha had provided Millie with an ID and a passport. She had even converted some money into dinors so tha

When Pierce saw that it was Samantha on the bed, his face turned ashen.He grabbed her wrist with such force that it felt like he might dislocate her arm. He yanked her off the bed, causing Samantha to stumble. Samantha managed to steady herself, but her heart pounded as she met Pierce's piercing, furious gaze.She recalled a time from their childhood when she had run away and Pierce had found her. He had been furious back then. That was the angriest she'd ever seen him—until now. The infuriated expression he was showing in the moment surpassed that by far.Fear and jealousy filled Samantha's heart. How had Millie stolen all the affection and privilege that had once been hers in such a short time? Why was this happening?"Where's Millie?" Pierce sternly asked."M-Millie… ran away," Samantha stammered. "I came to confront her today, but she held a knife to my face and threatened to cut me up if I didn't do what she said. I didn't have a choice!""If she escaped, why didn't y

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

Stefan and Millie would have probably ended up getting married, right? Since Stefan had already treated Millie as a substitute, and she was even better than the original, why couldn't they just continue like this forever?Stefan suddenly recalled the first time he met Millie. She was dressed in revealing clothes, trembling like a helpless lamb awaiting to be slaughtered. When he first saw her, he was captivated—not only because she resembled Wanda so closely but also because she was genuinely beautiful—more beautiful than Wanda, and she was stunning. He couldn't help but feel empathy for her.In the beginning, he hadn't thought much of it. Millie was just a substitute, a cure for the heartache Wanda had left behind. But over time, Millie proved herself. She was thoughtful, considerate, and kind. Her presence gradually eased the pain left by his breakup with Wanda.In reality, Stefan had broken up with Wanda years ago and spent several years living recklessly. Meeting Millie agai

"Don't you… have anything to say?" Stefan asked hesitantly.It would have been a perfectly normal reaction for Millie to yell at Stefan or even slap him.But instead, she was calm. Her tone was flat, and her gaze was cold, sending a chill down his spine.Instead of anger and disappointment, she looked at him now calmly and emotionlessly as though he were a mere stranger."I need to go, Mr. Leach," she said softly.She recalled when Wanda barged into her studio, yelling at her and saying if this were ancient times, she would willingly share a husband with her. Wanda also agreed to let Stefan keep her as a mistress.If they wanted to humiliate themselves, it was their own business, but why pull her into their chaos?Millie had tried to explain herself, but neither of them had been willing to listen. Why should she waste her breath arguing with people who refused to listen?Stefan couldn't let her go, while Wanda saw Millie as a rival and wanted to compete with her. But to Millie,

Julian spoke each word slowly, and his words left Millie speechless.Even though she knew she was innocent, Wanda's plans had made her imprisonment almost certain. If it weren't for Pierce, she would have been doomed."What's going on, Julian? I thought you left," Millie said."Who said I left? I told you I just needed a few days to rest. Since I couldn't help with your troubles, I figured I'd at least look after the company for you."I wasn't just sitting around during my off days. I gave a lecture in school and recruited some new talent. As for the contaminated fabrics issue, I've already cleared the studio's name. It might take a bit of time, but we'll be back on track soon.""Julian…"It turned out she was the only one being narrow-minded. She even thought she and Julian couldn't even be friends anymore.Julian laughed. "I'm not that petty. We're still business partners, and I'm still your senior. We're… still the same as before, alright?"Millie nodded firmly. "Thanks, Jul

"It's understandable, really. Stefan trusts her like how you trust me. All the evidence out there points to me pushing her and causing her miscarriage. Yet, you still believed in me and kept looking for the truth," Millie said.Pierce disagreed and said firmly, "You and Wanda are not the same. She's not even worthy of being compared to you. Stefan is blind. He doesn't even love Wanda that much. He's just invested too much to marry her. "He defied his parents, used you as a stand-in, and went against his grandmother. He gave up too much. Admitting Wanda is manipulative was equivalent to admitting he has poor judgment and can't see people for who they are."But I know you've always been good. You're better than anyone else."He looked at her, speaking each word with sincerity.Millie's heart raced uncontrollably. His gaze was always so earnest and intense that one couldn't help but avert their gaze. The way his eyes met hers felt almost scorching.Pierce then asked tentatively, "M

"Millie…" Pierce murmured. He suppressed the fervor in his eyes, restraining the impulse to pull her into his arms. He approached her cautiously.Millie looked at him, feeling a complicated mix of emotions. She wanted to smile at him, but for some reason, her vision went dark. Her body went limp as she collapsed.In that instant, Pierce felt his heart skip a beat. Dropping the umbrella, he caught her with both hands.He rushed her to the hospital, where the doctors diagnosed her with mild nervous exhaustion. It was nothing serious. In fact, it was understandable since she had spent days in such a stifling environment.Millie had also contracted a viral infection and ran a fever for two days, so she remained hospitalized. Pierce stayed by her side without leaving, all while continuing his investigation into the stillbirth. Finally, he made some progress. He focused intently on the screen before him.The footage showed Millie bumping into someone at the hospital entrance, scatteri
