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

Millie glanced at the complaints being submitted online. Customers were claiming that her expensive clothing line was made from cheap, toxic fabrics that caused severe rashes and skin ulcers. They had also made police reports and the authorities would soon look into the matter.She then glanced at photos of the clothing and felt her heart sink when she saw her design studio's tag and the logo printed on them. However, it was visibly obvious that the clothing was of poor quality."Who's in charge of the online operations?" Julian asked with a somber expression.Celia answered, "The online store is managed by the tech department, but all clothing shipments come from the factory. If there's an issue, it's likely from the factory's side.""It doesn't matter where the problem started. The studio is still accountable no matter where the issue arose from. "Julian, could you visit the factory and investigate?" Millie interjected."Sure," Julian replied and left immediately.…Someti

Julian didn't agree with Millie. "Come on. We've known each other for years. What's this talk about you dragging me down? We've weathered storms together before. A little hardship now is nothing."I have connections too. I'll reach out and find us some resources. There's always a way." From Julian's reply, it was clear that he was determined to stay. Millie then turned to Celia. "And what about you?""I'm not leaving either. I've been here since the company started. I've seen worse times. As long as you're here, I'm staying," Celia resolutely said.Millie's chest tightened with emotion. Their loyalty moved her deeply. The old saying that true friendships arose from hard times rang true during these particularly trying times.While Julian reached out to his contacts and Celia handed out flyers, Millie did all she could to keep the company afloat, too. She reached out to her old clients and offered to complete their designs for free. All she asked was that they wear her creations

Millie knew that Pierce wouldn't kick her while she was down. She also knew that his gaze held no deeper meaning.She understood all of that.Yet, standing there in her disheveled state, her mind spun with thoughts she couldn't control.Next to him, Charlotte Cole seemed to notice something unusual in Pierce's demeanor. He had stopped walking, and his body stiffened as his deep gaze lingered in a certain spot in the distance.Charlotte followed his line of sight and eventually spotted Millie. "Do you know her, Pierce?" she asked in Cazarian.Millie overheard Charlotte's words and was surprised at how close they seemed."I don't know her," Pierce said indifferently. His voice was cold as he turned his gaze away, walking forward with long strides while holding Charlotte's hand.Without sparing Millie another glance, he led his entourage out of sight.Millie fought back the bitterness welling up inside her. She had asked for the divorce, and now she'd gotten what she wanted. There

Millie put on light makeup to cover the exhaustion on her face. Her complexion looked slightly better with some blush and a little lipstick on. She then changed into clothes that were appropriate for the occasion and headed to the hotel. Isla had given her the number to a private room and said she would meet her there.Millie was about to reach Isla's room when the door to a nearby private room flew open unexpectedly. Felicity walked out. She had come to dine with her friends. Running into her right now felt like a cruel twist of fate for Millie. Felicity had been the first client to cancel her order, and she hadn't bothered to keep her as a client. Now that they had bad blood, Millie couldn't even be bothered to greet her and turned to leave. However, Felicity blocked her path."Well, if it isn't Mrs. Atkinson?" Felicity said mockingly.Someone interjected, "That's not right, Mrs. Searle. She's the former Mrs. Atkinson.""Oh, I nearly forgot. You're divorced now, so you don'
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 302
Felicity wanted to ruin Millie's beautiful face so that she would lose even her last advantage. At that moment, she was driven by her overwhelming anger toward Millie.She held the blade close to Millie's cheek as she said threateningly, "There's still time to beg me!""You'd better think this through, Mrs. Searle. I'm a public figure too. I'm an international designer. So, anything I say carries some weight. If you ruin my face because you think you can fall back on your family's power to escape the law, I'll fight you to the death!" Millie warned. She then added, "Also, I have another identity—I'm Pierce's ex-wife. If you dare to cut my face, I'll make sure the Searle family kicks you out!"Millie raised her head and looked at Felicity with unwavering defiance. She wasn't just some nameless nobody. She had a prominent identity, though perhaps it seemed insignificant compared to these high-society elite ladies. But that didn't mean she was completely powerless.She was a renowne

Yulia's words had tainted Pierce's ears. Since that was the case, he would find a way to make sure she could never speak again.If it had been the Pierce of the past—the one who worked as an anti-smuggling officer—he would never have considered such an option. But now that he was freed from the constraints of that identity, there were some matters that he no longer had to be so cautious about.He was never a purely kind person. His heart was far darker and more calculating than most could imagine. He could be a ruthless executioner without a shred of hesitation, or he could appear as an untouchable, noble paragon of benevolence.After resolving the situation with Yulia, Isabella felt relieved and invited Millie out for drinks.Millie was glad to hang out with her. Sharon had taken Tristan abroad, so she no longer had a drinking buddy."You have no idea how utterly disgusting that Yulia made me feel. It was like someone had forced a mouthful of dirt down my throat!" Isabella comp

Yulia locked herself in her room. She was curled up on the bed, disheveled and unkempt.Her phone screen was lit as she scrolled through the comments under Pierce's latest Twitter post—all of them were insults directed at her. She had completely lost herself in obsession."I did nothing wrong! Why should I apologize? Pierce is the heartless one! He betrayed me! Even as a woman, I have more courage than he does! Mom, I want to appeal my case. I want to sue him a second time. That lawyer was useless…"Helena had finally reached her breaking point and delivered a heavy slap across Yulia's face. Yulia's head snapped to the side as a clear handprint formed on her cheek."When will you wake up? Everyone can see that Pierce never liked you! In fact, if you hadn't done all those ridiculous things, he wouldn't even know who you were! How long are you going to deceive yourself? You're completely delusional!" Helena roared.Then, she added, "And even if… even if something had actually happ

Yulia wept and continued to blabber in her livestream. "If you don't love me, then why did you stop others from hurting me and take me to the hospital? If you don't love me, why did you pay for my medical expenses?"Can you swear that you didn't feel even a tiny bit of emotion when we locked eyes in front of that bakery? I understand that marriages in wealthy families are complicated and involve many parties' interests, where one small move can set off a chain reaction. "I was so considerate of your predicament, but what did you do to me? To protect yourself, you threw me under the bus. Pierce Atkinson, is this fair to me?"After saying all that, she burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. Meanwhile, viewers in the livestream showered her with virtual gifts, comforting her and telling her not to cry, claiming their hearts ached for her.Millie came across her livestream as well. The platform's algorithm had pushed it to her feed, so there was no avoiding seeing it.She was sp

"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
