Chapter 311

Author: Feminine Blade
Eager to mock Millie, Wanda continued, "You losing to me is only a matter of time. If I were you, I'd kneel and beg for mercy now. Maybe I'd let you off the hook."

Millie ignored her completely.

"I'll keep my eyes peeled and see just how long you can keep up this act," Wanda snapped, clearly infuriated.

Just then, Pierce approached them with Charlotte by his side.

"Millie, you really came. I made a bet with Pierce that you wouldn't show up. Looks like I lost!" Charlotte said cheerfully.

"Well, you should honor your bet then," Pierce replied.

"What reward do you want?" Charlotte asked, looking at him with curiosity.

The next second, Pierce leaned down and kissed her cheek.

The surrounding guests erupted into cheers. They glanced at Millie, trying to gauge her reaction and wondering if the ex-wife would break down on the spot.

However, Millie remained calm with a faint smile on her face. Her relationship with Pierce was in the past. Now, Pierce and Charlotte were getting engaged

    Charlotte took a jibe at Pierce mercilessly. Her sarcastic words drew a dark, brooding look from him.However, she stared back at him fearlessly. "What? Did I say something wrong? Come on, we still have to go downstairs and toast the guests. We need to finish playing the part."Pierce suppressed his emotions and followed Charlotte back downstairs. When Pierce saw Julian, an unexplainable anger flared up inside him. He called Julian over to a quiet corner."I thought you'd already succeeded in winning her over," Pierce said with a hint of mockery in his tone.Julian couldn't say a word to refute him. Instead, he silently downed two glasses of wine."If she really settles for someone, I hope that person is you," Pierce added.Julian frowned. "What do you mean by that?""I trust your character. If she's with you, she'll have a happy life," Pierce said humorlessly."Then what about you? Why did you get divorced? Weren't you determined to win her over back then?" Julian demanded, hi

    Millie somehow managed to muster the strength to kick the man hard. He tumbled off the bed and fell onto the floor unceremoniously.She rushed to turn on the light, but it wouldn't turn on no matter how she flicked the switch. Was the switch broken? Or was there a power outage?"What's wrong? Are you unhappy with my service?" The man's voice was particularly hoarse, as if he were deliberately lowering it.Millie wasn't very familiar with Tristan and couldn't tell if it was his voice. Now that the effects of the alcohol were wearing off, her mind felt tightly strung. This was a disaster!"I told you to go to my friend's room, didn't I? She's the one who you should spend the night with," Millie said nervously."Oh? Is that so?" The man's tone lifted slightly.Millie suddenly felt as if the atmosphere in the room had shifted. The initial tension and sense of danger seemed to relax a bit. Was she imagining things because of the alcohol?"So, you don't need me? You hired the top esco

    Sharon stared at Tristan blankly, unable to believe that such words had come from a male escort."Then why are you doing this job? Is life too hard for you?" she asked curiously."No, I went down this path willingly. I just didn't feel like working hard anymore. I'd rather live off women. Sweet-talking women is the easiest thing to do in the world. I can make young women like you fall for me by the dozens."Alright, it's getting late. You should rest. If you ever need my services in the future, feel free to book me again," Tristan said.With that, he left with a smile on his face.Sharon saw him off and watched him disappear at the end of the hallway. She only snapped back to her senses after he was out of her sight.When she stepped out of her room, Millie noticed Tristan was gone. "Is he gone?" she asked."He… He said that since it's my first time, I shouldn't give it away to someone who doesn't deserve it. He's kind of strange," Sharon replied, still processing his words."D

    "What exactly do you mean?" Millie asked."What do you mean by that?" Pierce retorted."Why did you sneak into my house in the middle of the night, pretending to be Tristan?" Millie probed."In the middle of the night? Which night?" Pierce responded."Last night!" Millie yelled."Last night was my engagement banquet. I didn't leave early," Pierce argued. Millie almost burst out laughing in frustration. Sure, Pierce didn't leave early, but he used the excuse of being drunk to stay out of sight the entire time. Wasn't that the same thing?"Pierce, when did you become so shameless and act so pretentious? Where's your sense of decency? You even admitted to what you did on the ship. What else are you afraid to admit?" Millie thundered. Pierce stayed silent in the face of her rage.Millie ranted, "Since you're now engaged, go live your life with Charlotte as you should. We're already divorced, so stop interfering with my life! And as for this order, I'm not taking it. However, I'l

    Millie felt leaving the country for a while was necessary. After giving instructions to Celia, she booked a flight and took a taxi to the airport.But while on the highway, she noticed a car driving aggressively alongside them, deliberately trying to cut them off.The taxi driver was visibly frustrated. When Millie glanced at the car, she felt her anger surge.Wasn't that Pierce's car? He had just told her to leave and to get as far away as possible. But half an hour later, he changed his mind.Millie instructed the driver to exit the highway. When the taxi pulled over on the roadside, Pierce's car stopped right behind them.She got out angrily and marched over to confront him. The car window rolled down, revealing Pierce lazily resting one arm on the car door."What are you trying to do? You told me to leave, and now you're intercepting me. Do you even know what you're doing? Did all those legal rules you studied go straight down the drain? Don't you know that driving recklessly

    What? Mentally ill? How could a perfectly normal person like Pierce develop a dissociative identity disorder? And was this his alternate personality?"Why… why would he suddenly develop a dissociative identity disorder? He was fine all this while.""Back then, he suffered intense trauma when he was kidnapped, and that was when I emerged. At first, I wasn't that strong, but Pierce slowly let his guard down because of you."Pierce suddenly moved closer. His deep eyes were filled with unfathomable shadows as he stared obsessively at her. Millie's face turned pale with fear, and a cold sweat broke out all over her body."Millie, I'm not as easygoing as that useless piece of shit."He suddenly shot her a venomous smile. Then, without warning, he scooped her up and carried her to the bedroom. Once there, he threw her roughly onto the bed. Then, he began taking off his clothes and his belt."What… what are you doing?" Millie asked, scared."Can't you tell? I'm going to fuck you."

    Millie was speechless to hear that declaration."In any case, I'm going to take away whatever Pierce holds dear. Hell will freeze over before I let him live a happy life!" Pierce said."Aren't you two the same entity?" Millie asked."The same entity? If our body were a house, he could roam around the living room and three bedrooms, whereas I could only stay in a 40-square-foot bathroom with no space to turn around."He can go out and make friends, while I can't even let others know of my existence. How is that considered the same entity?"The raging resentment in his voice was evident to Millie."What's your name?" she asked."I don't know.""We've got to at least have a way to tell the two of you apart," Millie said in a small voice for fear of angering him. "How about Piercy?""How's that different from Pierce?""What if someone finds out about Pierce's secret when I call you by a different name?""So be it.""Then people would think Pierce is crazy, and the same would go

    "No. It's okay. We can take our time learning the business side of things. I won't try to escape anymore. I've decided to stay by your side because I'm completely taken in by your charm. I also think you should take over Pierce's body. He's a total jerk for keeping you hidden for so long!" Millie said.Even though those words struck a chord with Piercy, he wasn't completely clueless. He knew Millie was trying to make him happy by flattering him. Even so, he had to admit those words were indeed pleasant to hear.He couldn't suppress his smile as he nodded satisfactorily. "You're pretty perceptive.""Of course. From now on, I'll stay by your side to help you manage Atkinson Group. We'll make it bigger and better than Pierce ever did so that everyone will see you in a whole new light. Once Pierce finds out you're doing better than him, he might feel so ashamed that he'll never want to emerge again.""I like the sound of that."It would be hard to control Pierce since he could be very

    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

    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
