Pierce's eyes became bloodshot in an instant. His gaze burned with searing anger as he stared at Millie intently.He bellowed, "Do you know what you're doing?"Millie lowered her head, staring at the knife tip that was less than an inch away from her chest. Pierce's hand was gripping the blade tightly.The knife had cut into his palm. Blood dripped heavily from it, pooling into a small puddle on the floor.A complicated feeling rose within Millie. In that fleeting moment, she had bet that Pierce would stop her. She hadn't expected that Pierce would grab the blade with his bare hand in desperation."Your hand…" Millie murmured.Pierce threw the knife onto the ground with a loud clatter. He gripped her shoulder so firmly that pain shot up from where his hand was placed instantly."Listen to me, Millie. No matter what happens, you must never hurt yourself. You can point your blade at anyone else, but never at yourself. Do you hear me?" he roared, his voice deep and furious.Mill

Since Wanda had some dirt on Samantha, they were in the same boat. Because of their shared interests in scheming and prevailing over Millie, they naturally had much to talk about. Wanda was the one who contributed the ideas for Samantha to avoid going on the forced blind dates.After listening to Wanda, Samantha asked, "What? You went for a checkup and ran into Millie?""She must have realized it was me. She even picked up my medical report. What should I do?" Wanda asked anxiously, feeling butterflies in her stomach.A few months earlier, Wanda had found out she was pregnant. She thought everything would be fine after making it past the risky first trimester. But after about four to five months into her pregnancy and before her belly had fully shown, she had been experiencing frequent spotting.Wanda dared not tell Stefan about this because he had been eagerly anticipating the baby's arrival. Thus, she had gone to the hospital alone for a checkup. The results were devastating—her

Wanda knew she couldn't delay dealing with her situation any longer. The longer the dead fetus remained in her womb, the greater the harm it would cause.She returned to Leach Manor and kept an eye on the time. Stefan should be back around this time. So, Wanda deliberately picked up her phone and pretended to make a call.She said into the phone, "Watch over Millie's studio and make sure her business isn't doing too badly. Don't let her know it was my idea. I'll reimburse all your expenses…"After Wanda was done uttering her staged instructions, she put down the phone. When she turned around, she pretended to be startled to see Stefan standing there."Stefan? Oh, you scared me! Why didn't you say something when you came in?" Wanda asked with a playful pout."Are you helping Millie?" he asked, frowning."Yes. Although she and I don't get along, I don't think this incident is her fault. It was her staff cutting corners and substituting her products with inferior ones. I admire he

Millie and Celia were still busy, so Millie ordered takeout for both of them."Celia, stop for now and take a break," Millie said."If only Mr. Saville were here, we could relax a little," Celia responded.Upon hearing this, Millie glanced toward Julian's office. She felt a little melancholic as she stared at the empty office. It seemed like they wouldn't even be able to remain friends in the future.Just then, Celia gasped. "Mrs. Leach?"Millie froze. What was Wanda doing here?Her business was open to everyone, and she couldn't stop Wanda from coming in."What are you here for?" Millie asked warily."I'm here to take you to see Stefan. I'll be there tonight as well," Wanda said with a smile.Millie was immediately confused. She had thought Stefan had invited her alone, but it turned out Wanda would also be there."I'm very busy and don't have time," Millie said dismissively.Wanda continued, "I've already spoken to Stefan. If this were ancient times when polygamy wasn't fr

Even though Millie knew this was Wanda's trap, a life was at stake. She couldn't afford to think too much about it now.She quickly dialed 911. When the ambulance arrived and Wanda was carried away, a large pool of blood was left on the ground. Millie stared at the blood, her heart pounding rapidly. "How… How could someone use their own child just to drag another person through the mud?"Wanda was pregnant with Stefan's first child. She needed this baby and would never harm it just to set someone up. Because of this, Millie had always been wary when dealing with Wanda. So far, Wanda had never shown any intention of using her baby to set her up.But this time… Was it an accidental fall? Or was there something more to it?"Don't worry, Ms. Jordan… I saw everything clearly. You didn't push her. She… She broke free from you and deliberately fell to the ground," Celia stammered, clearly shaken as well."What about the surveillance cameras?" Millie responded.She reviewed the securit

"Celia?" Millie couldn't believe that those words had come out of Celia's mouth.Celia had worked for her for over three years. During this time, Millie had never mistreated her.However, Celia openly betrayed her right at this crucial moment. She had turned against Millie and made accusatory claims that were contrary to what she'd said back in the studio."You're with Wanda." Only now did Millie realize the truth.Celia refuted her with tears streaming down her face, "I'm not associated with Mrs. Leach in any way, Ms. Jordan. I simply couldn't go against my conscience. I couldn't stand by and watch you do such terrible things.""Why would you frame me…" Millie's emotions flared as she stepped forward to confront Celia.But before she could get close, Stefan intervened and grabbed her wrist. He glared at her with a complicated expression and spat, "You're a fine piece of work, Millie! How could you lay a hand on a pregnant woman? My child is dead now! Are you happy? "Let me tel

Stefan stormed over to the doctor and grabbed him by the collar. He demanded, "What did you just say? Say it again!"The doctor trembled in fear and repeated, "Mrs. Leach has lost the ability to conceive ever again. I'm sorry, but we had to do it to save her life…"The medical team had no other choice back in the operating theater. If they hadn't done that, Wanda might not have made it.Stefan clenched his fists, ready to throw a punch. But his fist hovered in midair, tightening and loosening repeatedly. However, the blow never landed.Finally, he let his hand drop weakly and uttered, "Leave."The doctor left, and Stefan walked over to Wanda. His steps were heavy, and his gaze was filled with conflicting emotions. He had imagined a lifetime with Wanda. They would build a family and raise their children together.But now, his child was gone, and Wanda could no longer conceive. Who would inherit his legacy in the future? He needed an heir.At that moment, he felt like killing Mill

The two men went to a café downstairs, where Pierce handed Stefan a file.Six months ago, Wanda approached Celia with the intention of poaching her. Millie's studio was struggling at that time, and most of her employees had already been poached. Celia, however, had remained loyal and stayed.Logically speaking, Celia and Wanda shouldn't have had any further contact after that. But the weird thing was that the two had communicated several times afterward."They'd been in contact, alright. But what does that prove? What are you trying to say?" Stefan questioned dismissively, unimpressed by this finding."Just yesterday, Wanda contacted Celia. The content of their conversation was erased. It'll take the tech team a few days to recover it. But if you're willing to wait, I'll give you a satisfactory answer soon," Pierce elaborated.Stefan frowned deeply and slammed the table before standing up in anger. "Are you saying that Wanda sacrificed our child just to frame Millie? And you're cl

Millie gently closed the box.Suddenly, a single tear slipped down, landing silently on the surface. Only then did Millie realize that she had been crying. She wasn't sure if she was mourning the love she once had or if her tears were for something else entirely.No wonder Pierce had told her to look at it in private. He didn't want to see her shedding tears for another man."It's all in the past. Why send this now?" Millie murmured.She wiped away her tears and picked up her phone. "Tobias, do me a favor. Auction something for me. Donate every last cent of the proceeds to charity. Not a single penny should be kept."She then ended the call and looked at the small box again. At least this way, it would be put to good use…Afterward, Millie headed to the study to check on Pierce. He watched her closely, his deep eyes unreadable.Millie pretended not to notice and said, "You keep working. I'm just going to sketch for a while."Pierce pressed his lips together as if he wante

Millie followed Pierce back home. As she stepped into the familiar space that belonged to just the two of them, her heart felt heavy with emotions.It had been two months since she had last been here, yet everything remained unchanged. Even the wardrobe had been stocked with new seasonal outfits.In those two months, Millie had lost a lot of weight. So, Pierce instructed the kitchen to prepare nourishing meals for her. He was determined to bring her back to full health.Pierce remained bedridden for another half month before he could finally use a cane to walk around a bit. His right leg was still severely injured, and every step sent searing pain through his body, making his face go pale and his forehead damp with cold sweat.Millie couldn't bear to watch him suffer and urged him to rest. But Pierce was stubborn and walked until his legs trembled, and he could no longer stand. Only then would he sit down."Does it hurt?" Millie worriedly asked."It doesn't. I just need to pr
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 654
With that, Millie turned around and left without hesitation. But just as she was about to step out of the room, Stefan's voice called out behind her once more, "Millie, I owe you an apology for everything. I never really said it before. It's late… but at least I'm finally saying it. "Millie, I'm sorry. I was the one in the wrong." Stefan's voice was soft, weakened by his injuries. It sounded as though those few words had drained all the strength from his body.Millie's body stiffened, and her hands were tightly clenched into fists at her sides.Stefan was apologizing at long last.Millie wanted to turn around to see if he was truly sincere or if this was just another one of his manipulations. However, she held herself back. Unimportant people didn't deserve even a second glance.Millie didn't say anything. She didn't say whether she would or would not forgive him. She just walked away.Stefan's face turned even paler. He knew that after everything he had done, he would never

Millie didn't want to see Pierce struggling alone, bottling up all his pain like a wounded lion licking its wounds in solitude.Upon hearing her words, Pierce simply tightened his embrace around her. "Mills… I'm scared…""I know. I understand," Millie whispered, gently patting his back."I'm afraid I won't be able to lift you anymore, and I'm afraid I won't be able to run or jump. I'm scared I won't be able to fight the bad guys and protect you anymore." Pierce's voice was soft and barely above a whisper. His sorrow was almost imperceptible, but it could be because he still hadn't fully released his emotions.Millie started, "You still have me. If you can't carry me, then don't. If you can't run fast or jump high, then I'll slow down and walk beside you. I can be your crutch and your support for a lifetime, okay?"And listen, Pierce, you may not be able to fight on the front lines anymore, but you're still there in spirit. We can move to the back lines to provide funding and strat

Pierce didn't tell Millie everything—such as the fact that Stefan had initially wanted to kill him. He spared Stefan some dignity, not wanting Millie to hate him forever.Millie stayed in the hospital to care for Pierce for two days when there was finally a change in Stefan's condition.Before he even regained consciousness, he was already calling her name. Robin anxiously rushed in to find Millie, and she hurried over."The patient's wound has gotten infected, leading to complications. We need to start emergency treatment immediately!""How could this have happened? Wasn't he supposed to wake up?" Robin was beside himself with worry."Millie… Millie…" Even in his fevered delirium, Stefan kept murmuring her name.Millie went over to him. His hand, which had been weakly grasping at the air, finally caught hold of something—her fingers. He clung to her tightly."I'm here, Stefan," she softly uttered.It was as if her words held some kind of magic, as Stefan immediately calmed d

Every word Pierce spoke was firm and impactful. Each word hammered on Stefan's heart mercilessly.Pierce owned up to his mistakes. But what about him? Could he do the same?All this while, he had been shifting the blame to everyone else. He blamed Pierce for stealing Millie away. Then, he blamed Millie for not forgiving him. He even blamed Wanda for seducing him, and the list went on…He had blamed so many people, holding onto their faults while conveniently brushing aside his own. When it came to himself, he always found a way to justify his actions. He completely ignored that he was the true cause of everything.Stefan's grip on Pierce's collar loosened. He took a few steps back in a daze and stumbled on his own feet, causing him to nearly fall to the ground."Those criminals… They're planning to strike again. I agreed to help them," Stefan said."Why are you telling me this?" Pierce responded."She said… She said that if you died, she wouldn't live either." Stefan's voice was

Millie gave Pierce a profound look that contained a myriad of emotions. Pierce could have been selfish and not tell her any of Stefan's good deeds. He could've even stopped her from visiting Stefan. Yet, he didn't do that.After giving Pierce one heavy nod, Millie went over to the adjacent hospital room.Stefan was seriously injured too. His health wasn't as good as Pierce's to begin with, so he still hadn't woken up yet.Robin was in his room, sitting beside him. He kept silently wiping away tears at one side."This is my only nephew. If anything were to happen to him, how would I face his late parents?" Robin mournfully said."Does Grandma know about this?" Millie inquired."I don't have the heart to tell Mom about this. She's old and frail. I don't want her to have a breakdown," Robin replied."I'll keep him company, Robin," Millie said.Robin hesitated for a moment and ultimately nodded. He believed that Stefan would want to see Millie upon waking up. So, Millie staye

"Don't move around. You're still very weak. The doctor said to give you some oatmeal porridge when you wake up. Your digestive system is still quite weak, so you need to eat something that goes down easily."A familiar voice sounded in Millie's ears."G-Grandpa? Why are you here? Where's Pierce? Pierce? Pierce…" After a moment of silence, Millie mumbled, "I forgot… Pierce is dead. Not even his body remains.""What nonsense are you speaking, child? Isn't he lying right beside you?" Bill interjected.Millie visibly froze for a second. Then, she whipped her head around to look. As Bill had said, Pierce was indeed right beside her. Layers of gauze were wrapped around his body, and he seemed to be heavily injured. However, his vital signs were steady, and his heartbeat was rhythmic—he was no longer in a critical condition."Pierce…" Millie tumbled out of bed without a care for the pain in her limbs.Bill quickly went over to support her and combined their beds together."H-How is t
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 648
Millie broke down emotionally. She was done with Stefan's constant self-righteous justification. He always blamed everyone else and deemed himself free of any wrongdoing. He acted as if the whole world had wronged him, while he had never wronged anyone.He painted himself as the pitiful and innocent victim, twisting logic to justify everything he did.Millie was done acting her part. She would let things play out however they should. There was no longer anything tying her to this world. If anything happened to Pierce, she wouldn't live either. Just the thought of being imprisoned by Stefan for three years was worse than death.And so, she locked herself in her room and refused to come out. Every day, the housekeepers delivered her meals. She had no appetite but still ate well.Millie also no longer cared whether Stefan had drugged her food or not. If she turned into a mindless lunatic, maybe that would be better than this painful clarity.…Days passed one after another.One
