Millie immediately went to see the best psychiatrist in town."Don't be nervous. Please sit down, and let's have a chat," said the psychiatrist, Bruce Renner. He looked so young that Millie had some doubts about his credentials.The decoration in this place did not make it look like a clinic. Rather, it lookedmore like a cozy little home, and there was no pungent smell of disinfectant either.Bruce asked Millie what she wanted to drink—there was coffee, tea, and even latte.Millie felt nervous, so she ordered a latte.Bruce then brought her the latte and smiled at her. "So, what issues are you having?""I think I have Stockholm Syndrome. I know full well that he's not a good guy, but I can't control my own feelings. I care about him… I'm smitten with him," Millie replied."What did he do to you? Was it psychological or physical abuse?"Millie pressed her lips together. She was not sure if she should tell Bruce everything. But he was a psychiatrist. Logically, she should be

Just then, there was movement outside, and the ship violently shook.Millie was stunned and quickly realized that Pierce had brought his men onto the ship.She hurried to the decks and saw Pierce in his uniform for the first time. He had a buzzcut, his eyes were sharp like an eagle's, and he moved with amazing agility. He led the charge with explosive momentum, clearly fighting as if he had no regard for his own life. She saw bullets graze his face a few times. One tiny slip-up would end him with a headshot.Each time, he narrowly evaded danger by staying close behind others.The men stormed the ship and quickly captured everyone. Meanwhile, Pierce started to look for hostages and eventually only found Millie. Without hesitation, he took off his coat and covered her exposed body. Deep down, Millie knew that the effects of the pills were about to kick in.Pierce was about to leave while carrying her in her arms, but he noticed something off about Millie and brought her ba

"That's impossible! I must be having some psychological issues," Millie said."Ms. Jordan, you are unwilling to communicate with me. Are you worried about something? Is it because you don't trust me, or is it something else?" Bruce questioned."It's…" Because of Pierce's special status—if his wrongdoings were exposed, he would likely end up in jail.Deep down, Millie could not get over the incident, but she also understood that Pierce had saved her. In the dream earlier, she was the one who had desperately begged him to take her. When she thought about this, she felt deeply ashamed. "Ms. Jordan, since you have your own reasons, then I won't ask any further. But since you're here to see a psychiatrist, you should trust me."Go home and get some rest. After you've thought things through, you can come here again." Bruce was gentle and pleasant the entire time, showing no signs of anger. At Millie's insistent request, he prescribed her some sleeping pills to help with her sleep

Pierce agreed to let Millie leave before he had fully tasted her. He had to do it while he could still restrain his emotions, before he lost his conscience and went mad."Millie, you've gotten what you wanted. Are you satisfied now? See you at the courthouse tomorrow." After saying that, Pierce turned and left. He dared not linger for even a moment, afraid that he might regret it.Meanwhile, Millie felt completely dazed. She didn't expect things to progress so fast.Pierce had finally agreed to a divorce. She could stop falling deeper in love and finally have control over her own emotions. But why? Why did it feel like her heart was being pricked by countless tiny needles? An incessant and subtle pain ate at her from within."Ms. Jordan, I think you're perfectly normal."For some reason, Bruce's words kept echoing in her mind.Millie was normal. She wasn't sick. The only explanation was that she had fallen in love with Pierce. She had fallen in love with him without knowing th

"If it were me, I'd bind her or lock her up. I'd do anything as long as she stays by my side."Pierce, you're always so hesitant. Every time you have a chance to have her, you always hesitate because of how timid and fearful you are. You keep letting her drift further away from you! "Pierce, you have no control over anything. You deserve it…"Pierce felt a splitting headache, and his gaze suddenly turned fierce. "Shut up!" he roared.After a long while, he finally calmed down and rubbed his throbbing temples. "Millie, this time, I'll give you your freedom. No one can harm you, including myself."Pierce lay on the bed. He could feel the lingering traces of Millie's presence from the blanket that she had used and the pillow that she had slept on.Whether from not sleeping well the previous night, or because this room gave him peace, Pierce unexpectedly fell asleep.In his dream, he returned to the place where he had once been trapped.He and Samantha had been kidnapped. He tri

The sniper was positioned on the tree. If the kidnappers tried to harm the girl outside the factory, the sniper would immediately take them out to ensure her safety. But no one knew how things would go once she got into the factory. The little girl smeared some mud on her face and took away valuable items from Pierce. She folded her school uniform neatly, then hesitated for a moment before draping it over Pierce.She then turned to leave. Unexpectedly, Pierce reached out and gripped her hand tightly. "Don't go. You'll die…""I won't. The police will protect me. They're really powerful."Pierce really wanted to say that the police weren't all-powerful. It was just that kids were too naive and thought that the police were superheroes who could defeat all the dark forces.He wasn't sure if she was scared. But based on her shaking legs and faltering steps, she should be. Yet, she moved forward bravely and even turned around to smile at him."When I get back, I'll buy you straw

Julian was worried about Millie since she hadn't come to the fashion design studio for the past few days. He called her, but she just made up some excuse about needing to rest at home because she was sick.Julian thought about visiting her, but he ultimately changed his mind. After all, he would just end up looking like a fool with Pierce around.Meanwhile, Millie had already moved out of her previous place and moved in with Sharon.As worried as Sharon was about Millie, she didn't ask her anything.It wasn't until Millie showed no signs of leaving after living there for a few days did Sharon finally ask, "Did you have a big fight with Pierce this time? I mean, you've been here for so long. When are you going back? Hasn't Pierce come to beg you to go back yet? "If you ask me, you should give him a proper scolding—""It wasn't a fight this time," Millie interrupted before Sharon could continue."Glad to hear that. But why aren't you going back then? Is he away on a business tr

Millie frowned.Immediately, her phone rang again. This time, it was Sharon.Millie picked up her phone and accepted the call."Bad news, Millie. Pierce has made an official announcement about his engagement."Millie's mind went blank. It was only a week ago that she and Pierce had gotten divorced, and now he was announcing his engagement? Wasn't that a bit too fast?"When did this happen?" Millie asked."Just now. Before he flew abroad. It's a marriage alliance with the Cole family who lives abroad. The news is all over the place. The press managed to take some photos of him getting on the plane.""It must be fake news…""No, it's not. The foreign media has already made it public that the Cole family's daughter is engaged to Pierce. I'll send you the summary link. Take a look for yourself. It's hard to explain over the phone."Sharon then sent a compiled collection of the interactions between Pierce and Charlotte Cole. The two had met at a party abroad, and their families

"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

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
