Millie gripped her paddle tightly, unwilling to accept her fate."41 million dollars," she called."50 million dollars," Stefan said calmly. Soon, the figure flashed on the display screen.The people at the back broke out in whispers.As expected, only the wealthy could be this bold, casually increasing the bid price by ten million dollars at a time."51 million dollars," Millie said, stubbornly increasing her bid."60 million dollars," Stefan said, giving her a derisive glance.Millie knew that so long as they were here, she wasn't going to get the embroidery.Her face turned red from anger, and she dug her fingernails into her palms.She didn't want to accept her defeat, but she didn't have a choice.Just as the auctioneer was about to smack his gavel, another string of numbers appeared on the display again."What?""100 million dollars? The bidder in the Celestial Room has just put out a bid for 100 million dollars? What, was this artwork embroidered with gold?""Even i
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 36
If Stefan had continued to up the bid and bought the artwork for Wanda, then he would have become the hero who was willing to spend a hefty sum just to see his woman smile.However, he'd failed to buy it, and it ended up falling into his ex-girlfriend's hands. How infuriating.Stefan stormed back to his private room angrily and ordered his secretary to find out who the bidder in the next room was."Mr. Leach, I didn't manage to find anything."Stefan narrowed his gaze. In Arbelton, someone of this caliber had to be of nearly equal status to the Leach family. There were only a handful of families that could compare. It was definitely possible to find out if they spent some time digging deeper."You have three days. If you can't find out who it was, you can get lost," Stefan said darkly."Did you say that Ms. Jordan was going to the room to thank the bidder? Think about it, how would a woman who just accepted something worth 200 million dollars show her gratitude? Do you think… M

As Wanda got into the ambulance, she gave Millie a fierce glare. "If something happens to Stefan, I will kill you!"Millie was taken to an interrogation room where she explained the entire incident.Soon, the hospital was done with the full work-up. Stefan hadn't lost the ability to have children, but he was still severely injured. He would have to spend a few months recovering before the doctors could tell if there were any lasting effects.Right now, he was still unconscious. Wanda refused to drop the matter. She insisted that Millie had to go to jail."You can ask for a defense lawyer."Millie could still contact someone on the outside. She picked up her phone, and Pierce's face immediately appeared in her mind.She seemed to have brought him trouble. He must be regretting marrying her right now.She typed his number, but for some reason, she couldn't find the courage to press call.After some time passed, a female police officer came to talk to her. "Millie, you have been r

Stefan slammed his fist against the head of the bed. His fist immediately flushed red, but the pain didn't seem to bother him in the slightest."She really got together with Pierce. How is this possible…""Perhaps Ms. Jordan was so heartbroken that she chose Mr. Atkinson just to get back at you.""Really?" Stefan asked doubtfully, frowning.Mark replied, "Of course. Ms. Jordan still loves you, and that's why she did that. She just wanted to see how you would react, Mr. Leach. If you let it get to you, then you'll have played right into her hands."When Stefan heard that, the anger slowly dissipated from his face. He snorted. "She is really willing to go to any lengths. Does she think I'll go back to her like this? How ridiculous."As long as I don't pay it any mind, then Millie won't be able to get to me. However, Pierce…"If Pierce agreed to get with her, it meant that he was most likely trying to get back at him too.Back then, his mother had been opposed to him being with Wa

"What's the matter?" Pierce asked."My zip is stuck. Can you call the salesperson over to help?" Millie said."Allow me.""I-Is this appropriate?""Millie, we're legally married. You keep making me feel like we're having an illicit affair."Millie's face flushed. It was just a zipper after all.Pierce walked into the dressing room. The room was actually quite big, but because of his overwhelming presence, the room felt cramped.The dressing room was so quiet that they would be able to hear a pin drop. The sound of the zip was the only thing they could hear.His fingertips unintentionally brushed against her back.Her skin was as smooth as porcelain. It was completely flawless.It looked like it should be used as a canvas for a beautiful painting.Using the sweat on her body, he wanted to mix colors on her skin to paint a beautiful picture of a flower.At the thought of this, his eyes darkened."Are you done yet?"Millie felt very uneasy, as though a predator had set its s
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 40
After the two separated, Pierce's gaze was predatory and lustful. Millie felt like he was going to swallow her whole any second.Soon, the desire in his eyes completely vanished, as though it never existed."Let's go. The party is about to start."Millie steeled her nerves. After Pierce got down, he opened her door like a gentleman. The two of them got onto the cruise after flashing their invitations.People immediately came up to greet Pierce. They all noticed Millie standing next to him."Who is this, Mr. Atkinson?""Hello, my name is Millie Jordan. I run a fashion design studio. This is my name card." Millie quickly tried to sell herself.Suddenly, she felt like it was inappropriate to be taking her name card out right now. She snuck a glance at Pierce, scared that he would get angry."Mr. Wales, I hope you'll support her business.""Of course."When Millie heard that, she sighed in relief. Her speech grew even more animated and lively.At that moment, someone called ou

The waitress, Mila Granger, paced back and forth, as though she was looking for Millie. When she spotted her target, she immediately walked over.There was a champagne flute on her tray. "Miss, would you like a drink?""I don't want to drink now, but I want to see someone else drink. You should drink that. I'll pay you a hundred thousand dollars if you drink that. What do you say?"Mila smiled nervously. "I wouldn't dare. These drinks are for our honorable guests. I'm not worthy of drinking them. Not to mention, I have a sensitive stomach. I get a stomach ache when I drink—""I'll pay you a million dollars.""Really?" Mila's eyes light up. She was ready to switch sides."Yes! So, are you drinking it?""Sure, I will."Now, it was Millie's turn to be puzzled. She wondered what was in the drink. Did Mila even know what was inside? If she did, she wouldn't be wearing this expression right now.Was it spiked with a date rape drug, or something else?At that moment, someone came ov

"Don't look at me. You'll sully your eyes.""Huh?""Use your hand… Use your hand to help me… Don't look. There's nothing to see…"Pierce's voice was extremely hoarse, and he stammered and stumbled over his words.Millie was surprised to hear traces of embarrassment in his voice.Pierce was actually embarrassed too.Her hand touched something.He gripped her hand, slowly exerting force.…Before they knew it, it was finally over.Millie didn't dirty her clothes or her body.As she sat quietly on the bed, she heard sounds of flowing water coming from the bathroom.She wanted to remove the blindfold, but Pierce wouldn't let her do it. So, she had no choice but to listen to him.After a dozen minutes, Pierce came out. Millie could hear the rustling of fabric as he put on his clothes.He seemed to be cleaning up the place. Then, he wiped her hands with a wet towel."Forget what happened just now."Pierce spoke in a commanding tone."Okay."Millie nodded.She didn't sacrif

"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
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 584
After that, Millie went upstairs to look for Pierce and told him the story of her firing Carlos and Yulia."Okay," Pierce nonchalantly said. He didn't even look up once, and his tone sounded very calm as well."I've been laying off employees without your consent. Don't you have anything to say about that?"Pierce laughed after hearing what Millie said. "You're my wife, so you also have a say in Atkinson Group. You're just exercising your authority, so why would I say anything about it? I know you're not a reckless person. If you fired them, you must have had your own reasonings." Pierce didn't even question why Millie had fired two employees or the reason behind their layoffs.What's done was already done. He couldn't care less about the two employees who got fired."Does this mean that I can do whatever I want as long as I'm here?" Millie asked."Of course! Whatever I own is also yours. I'll even let you sit on my lap if you want." Pierce sounded exactly like a king back in th
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 583
While some people chose to stay away from Yulia to avoid getting into trouble, there were still a few who sided with her. Then again, these people were just going to use her as a stepping stone to climb the corporate ladder with less effort."You're firing me? What did I even do wrong?" Yulia confronted the HR Department."The case that you messed up here has cost Atkinson Group millions of dollars. This big of a screw-up is enough to get you fired."Even if Yulia filed for labor arbitration, she would not receive any compensation. But of course, she couldn't be bothered by that small amount of money anyway. As long as she managed to keep her job in Atkinson Group, she would still be working under Pierce's leadership and was bound to see him again eventually. Unfortunately, she was about to leave the company for good. Now how was she supposed to see Pierce again?"I have to go find Mr. Reyes," she said.However, when she came to Carlos' office, he seemed to be in a gloomy
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 582
Millie had the distinct feeling that Yulia and her colleague were talking about her, but she had no proof. All she could see were their furtive glances.She became annoyed by their persistent glances and said, "If you two have something to say, why don't you say it out loud? Are you gossiping about me?""Of course not! I have no idea why you'd say that, Mrs. Atkinson," Yulia replied with a smile."You better not be lying."Yulia and her colleague left the elevator when they reached their floor, leaving Millie standing there with a frown.Millie just couldn't bring herself to like Yulia. It led to her pondering whether she should just fire Yulia. That way, she wouldn't have to see her every time she visited Atkinson Group.The strange thing was that Millie had never seen Yulia before when she was still working here. But now, she ran into Yulia almost every single time she came to Atkinson Group.In the end, Millie made up her mind to just fire Yulia.Instead of heading to the CE

When Yulia tried returning the cleaned clothes, she ran into Tobias downstairs. "Mr. Shaw," she greeted."Who are you?" Tobias didn't even remember Yulia."We met before at the CEO's office.""Oh, I remember you now. Is there something you need?" Tobias curiously looked at Yulia.Yulia showed him the bag in her hand. "Is Mrs. Atkinson coming in today? I accidentally stained her clothes last time, so she told me to have them dry cleaned. They're cleaned now, so I wanted to return them to her. "If she's not here, I can hand them over to Mr. Atkinson instead.""Give the clothes to me then. I'll handle it." Tobias extended his hand.However, Yulia shook her head. "These clothes are very expensive. It's better for me to return them in person. It's going to be troublesome in case something goes missing."Women's clothing tended to have accessories, and some were not cheap either.Tobias was not Millie, so naturally, he didn't know what the clothes originally looked like. If somet

Millie couldn't help but share with Pierce who she'd met earlier on."Who?" Pierce asked."Do you still remember the young lady who tried to hit on you while we were waiting in line to buy cake last time? She's currently working at Atkinson Group—as a permanent employee, no less! She's probably been working here for a while."Since interns had a three-month probation period, Yulia must have worked for the company for quite some time now if she was already a permanent employee. "Really?" Pierce didn't know this, but neither did he care about it. He simply continued, "By the way, I have something to tell you too. I met her not long ago—she was being forced to work at a nightclub. Apparently, her family was declared bankrupt, and loan sharks were looking for her to collect debt."When I saw her, I couldn't help but think of you. If I had not been sent on a mission and stayed at Arbelton back then, maybe you wouldn't have been forced to a dead end. And in turn, maybe you wouldn't hav

"Are you all done with your work? Why are you slacking off during working hours? "Yulia, your proposal is terrible. Fix it!" It was Isabella. She just could not stand the arrogant look on Yulia's face.Yulia pouted, but she didn't dare get on Isabella's nerves. After all, she was the top performer in the sales department.When she got the chance to see Pierce, she was definitely going to talk about how Isabella was bullying her.When Isabella walked away, someone immediately took the proposal from Yulia. "I've done something similar before. Let me do it. It won't take me too much effort anyway.""Thank you so much.""Yulia, I bought an extra cup of coffee. Here you go.""Thanks, Wady."So, Yulia sat leisurely at her workstation. The only eyesore was that paper bag. If only it was really Pierce who'd sent it.…Besides getting her clothes dirtied, Millie's body was also sticky, so she decided to take a shower.Once she was done, she got out of the shower wrapped in just a
