Chapter 335

Author: Feminine Blade
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

    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

    Stefan's phone rang as a call from Pierce came in."What do you want to say now? You must have heard the call records by now," Stefan said impatiently."Wanda was clearly hinting at something through the call. With the huge commotion she caused at the studio, Celia would naturally know how to respond accordingly. Of course, they wouldn't say much over the phone to leave any evidence," Pierce explained."You're too biased toward Millie. You don't even know her or her true character! You're blind to everything she does," Stefan retorted.Pierce continued, "Six months ago, Celia's family encountered financial troubles. Her brother got married, and her mother fell seriously ill. They urgently needed money. This financial gap was filled when her father received a workplace injury settlement."The compensation was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Coincidentally, the person running that company happened to meet Wanda at a banquet in Arbelton."Stefan snorted and countered, "So, d

    Millie was brought into the interrogation room once again."Do you remember a man named Alex Thorne?" Karen showed her a photo. Millie recognized him immediately—he was the man who had nearly assaulted her. "Yes, I remember him.""Can you recount what happened that night?"Millie described the events in detail.Karen nodded and said, "It seems what Celia said is true. Were you aware that Celia and Wanda had been in touch?""I didn't know before, but now it's not hard to guess.""So, you had no idea at the time?""No."Karen nodded, seemingly piecing things together. Only one witness was left to question—Wanda.And so, Wanda was summoned for questioning."Mrs. Leach, do you still insist that Ms. Jordan pushed you?" Karen asked."Yes, she pushed me!" Wanda gritted her teeth, confirming it repeatedly."Mrs. Leach, defamation and false accusations are crimes. Every word you say must be truthful and accountable," Karen said sternly, her gaze sharp.Wanda's heart skipped a bea

    As soon as Stefan left, Wanda opened her eyes and began analyzing the entire situation.Celia had proven unreliable. What should have been the perfect opportunity to destroy Millie fell apart when she turned against Wanda.Narrowing her eyes, Wanda thought she should have anticipated this. If she could bribe Celia, someone else could do the same too. Pierce likely offered her even more.Fortunately, she kept all of her interactions with Celia neutral, so there was no evidence of wrongdoing.Wanda promised to give the company that compensated Celia's father some form of monetary reimbursement or a lucrative business deal within a year. For now, there was no visible connection between that company and Wanda.Celia had been her top priority when she targeted Millie's studio and poached all her employees.Right away, Celia was enticed by the high salary. But instead of having Celia come over to work under her directly, Wanda instructed her to stay at Millie's studio to monitor her.

    That night, Millie couldn't sleep at all. She tossed and turned, unable to quiet her thoughts.When morning finally arrived, she immediately got up, washed up, and packed her things to head to the hospital. Pierce saw how anxious she was but said nothing. He simply accompanied her to the hospital without a word.Once Millie got there, she took over looking after Stefan from Agnes and Robin. She urged them to go home, wash up, and get some rest."Pierce and I are here. We'll take good care of him," Millie said reassuringly."Alright. I'll leave Stefan in your care then," Agnes replied.Only then did she finally leave, walking away with slow, heavy steps.After that, Millie changed into sterile clothing and entered the ward.Stefan looked weak, but his spirits seemed a little better. When he saw Millie, he even forced a smile and greeted, "You're here.""Does your wound hurt?" Millie asked in concern."No, not really. I have painkillers and a PCA pump, so I barely feel anythin

    In the end, she and Stefan were simply not meant to be. The distance between them only grew wider as life went on. He should never have saved her.Pierce held Millie close. "Don't overthink it. The doctors are still working on him. We'll know once they come out. He's tough. He'll be fine.""Pierce, why did he have to do that? My heart feels so heavy." Millie wept."I know, I know." Pierce gently patted her back. He understood exactly how she felt.He wasn't afraid of Stefan scheming against him, but what worried him more was that Stefan would suddenly change and sacrifice himself to make amends for his past mistakes.If he had remained cruel, Millie could have hated him completely. But now, by repaying his debts bit by bit, he had placed Millie in an impossible position. She couldn't love him, but she also couldn't bring herself to hate him.Soon, Agnes and Robin arrived too.Agnes had aged significantly in the recent months, and she seemed to be in noticeably weaker spirits as

    "Stefan, are you okay? Hold on! I'll take you to the hospital right away," Millie urgently said."Are… Are you hurt anywhere?" Stefan asked in a trembling voice, forcing himself to endure the pain.Even at a time like this, he was still worried about her."I'm okay… I-I'm fine," Millie replied with a slight stutter."That's good." Stefan breathed a sigh of relief.Millie glanced at the rotting, festering wound on his back and couldn't help but anxiously tear up. She didn't wait for Pierce and immediately hailed a cab.Meanwhile, the surrounding crowd had subdued the attacker—it turned out to be the disgruntled Carlos who had been fired. Even as he was restrained, he kept screaming that he wanted to kill Millie and make Pierce regret it for the rest of his life.As the commotion went on, Millie helped Stefan into the car. His back was so badly wounded that he couldn't lean against the seat. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and his entire body was drenched in cold sweat

    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
