"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

Until there was sufficient evidence to prove Millie's innocence, being held at the police station was actually a form of protection for her. She was kept in a solitary detention cell, and Pierce used his connections to ensure she had no contact with others.He had seen people kept in detention for years because no one bailed them out or due to the case being unsolvable. Those poor people were left in limbo. At first, they remained hopeful. But over time, their spirits were completely crushed.Pierce didn't want Millie to experience such a dark world.While Millie was there, Stefan's rage was at least somewhat appeased. He wouldn't take more drastic or extreme actions against her.Pierce went to visit her, but to his surprise, Millie refused to see him. Even so, he didn't let that stop him.The door to her single cell opened. She thought it was just a routine check by a female officer, but it turned out to be Pierce."Didn't I say I didn't want to see you?" Millie asked in annoyan
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 337
Millie refused Pierce immediately.Pierce pressed his lips together and said nothing further. After spending some time with her, he left to attend to matters at Atkinson Group.Millie initially found the pace of time in the detention cell hard to bear. But with the items Pierce had sent her, it became easier for her to pass the time.As Pierce was worried that the bed was too hard, he had even arranged for an extra mattress and a couch to be sent to her cell.Millie looked around the room filled with items and fell into deep thought.She called over a female officer, whose name was Karen Oakley. "These things aren't allowed here. Why did you let him send them in?""It was the Commissioner's decision. You're listed as Officer Atkinson's family member, so we can offer some accommodations as we see fit. He really cares about you!" The officer's eyes sparkled as she spoke.After all, who wouldn't admire someone as outstanding as Pierce?"If that's the case, please remove all these.

The next morning, Millie woke up to find that Pierce had already left. The warmth on the bed lingered, suggesting he hadn't been gone for long.Karen arrived with breakfast, smiling at Millie in a way that made her scalp tingle.With narrowed eyes, Millie asked, "Why… Why are you smiling like that?""Last night, you and Officer Atkinson…""Don't overthink it! Nothing happened between us!""Huh? Nothing happened last night? We even told him we turned off the surveillance cameras so he wouldn't have to worry!" Karen exclaimed."What? You went that far?" Millie was stunned."That's not the point. Are you serious that nothing happened? Is Officer Atkinson… still capable in that department?" Karen was now criticizing Pierce with her hands on her hips. In fact, she looked genuinely annoyed.Millie was exasperated and hurriedly pushed her out of the cell."By the way, you'll be meeting with the victim later," Karen said before leaving.Millie had long known that she would eventual

Celia exclaimed, "She had a grudge against Mrs. Leach. So, she pushed her, a pregnant woman over five months along, to the ground. Then, she asked me to bear false witness! When I refused, she sent someone to kill me. "Just now, while I was on my way to have my statement recorded in the police station, a car tried to run me over. Thankfully, I was lucky and managed to survive. Officers, you have to protect me! Millie wants to kill me. She's trying to kill me!""Miss, please come inside," urged a police officer."No… Don't touch me! You're working with Millie. You're trying to kill me too!" Celia continued screaming hysterically outside the station.Her incessant screaming drew a massive crowd. People surrounded the entrance, blocking it completely. Some even recorded videos and uploaded them online.In no time, Millie was labeled as the culprit behind the child's death. Her name became synonymous with infamy, and the public deemed her guilty and deserving of death. There were wid

Night fell over the hospital.In recent days, Stefan canceled all his engagements and stayed by Wanda's side. He never left her side for even a moment. Their relationship grew closer during this time, which gave Wanda a sense of comfort.After enduring so much pain, she had finally gained Stefan's affection and deepened his hatred for Millie. To her, that was enough.Just then, Stefan's secretary entered the room and whispered something into his ear. His voice was low, so Wanda couldn't hear it."What's wrong?" She noticed the change in Stefan's expression and felt a pang of worry."It's nothing. I need to handle an issue at the company. I'll come back to see you later," Stefan replied."Go ahead. Come back to me when you're done," Wanda said softly and understandingly. Stefan tucked her in and smoothed her hair gently."Wanda…" His voice faltered for a moment. "Have you ever done anything to betray me?"Wanda froze."Have you ever schemed anything against me?" he asked agai

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
