Millie was worried that Agnes might be upset, but to her surprise, Agnes remained calm."Are you okay, Mrs. Leach Senior?" she softly asked.Agnes smiled. "When you reach my age, you'd have seen all kinds of storms. This is nothing."Millie could tell that her smile was a bit forced. After all, being defied by the grandson that she loved so much in her old age must have hurt her deeply.As Millie thought of that, she felt a pang of sadness. She didn't have any family around her. The only person who had ever doted on her like this was her own grandmother, who had unfortunately passed away very early. Her parents loved her too, but after her younger brother was born, she became less important in the family. Millie understood that not everyone could love her all the same at all times. So, the one thing she could do was love herself. But later on, she met Agnes, and then Bill. Though she shared no blood ties with them, they loved her unconditionally."You stay with Mrs. Leach Se

"You're so thoughtful and observant, Pierce," Rachel praised.As soon as she finished speaking, Pierce placed a piece of honey-barbecued pork chop on Millie's plate.One of Millie's eyebrows twitched and lifted slightly. How did Pierce know that she liked foods that were sweet and sour?Millie had an odd feeling about this but couldn't quite put a finger on it.Robin and Rachel noticed this and exchanged a glance. They both understood what the other was thinking at that moment.By the time they finished the meal, Agnes was taking her afternoon nap. Thus, Millie thought that it was best that she didn't disturb Agnes' rest and decided to leave.When Millie got to her car, she noticed something unusual with the tires. She looked down and discovered that a nail had punctured one of them, and it had already deflated. One side of her car was now noticeably lower compared to the other side."It was fine when I arrived," Millie said, puzzled."Maybe a kid did it, or perhaps you ran

Millie's heart started pounding erratically as a feeling of unease crept up."The divorce certificate… It isn't fake, is it?" she cautiously asked.Pierce pulled the car over to the side of the road. "What do you want to ask? Be direct. I'll answer you and won't lie."Pierce, surprisingly, cut straight to the point.Millie then summoned her courage and asked, "Is the divorce certificate real?""It's fake," Pierce honestly answered.Millie's eyes widened. "What?"How could he say that so boldly without a shred of guilt? Millie was so furious that she nearly passed out."How did you even manage that?""It doesn't have an official stamp, so it's invalid," Pierce blandly stated.Millie froze. She remembered that when they were filling out the forms, she suddenly felt unwell and went to the restroom. When she came back, the divorce certificate was ready. She had glanced at the names and ID numbers and saw that the details were correct, so she didn't bother to check if it was s

Millie listened to the voicemail message on the other end of the line. She was at a loss.This time, it seemed like she had truly gone too far.She sat down and tried to recall when she might have saved Pierce. But try as she might, she couldn't recall anything. Perhaps it was just a small, insignificant act of kindness on her part. But for Pierce, who might have been in crisis, it could have been a monumental favor.Millie thought that there was no need to make such a big deal out of it because she couldn't even remember it herself!Now that she had calmed down, she wanted to talk to Pierce with a softer approach. But there was no longer a chance for her to do that.Nevertheless, Millie decided not to dwell on it. Her words had indeed been harsh. But if this could lead to severing ties with Pierce once and for all, maybe it wasn't a bad thing. After all, if they were emotionally distant for two years in their marriage, she could use this as grounds for a divorce.Millie th

Millie was still worried. "But Grandpa, aren't you worried? What if…""That's his life. If he doesn't cherish it, what can we do?" Bill was clearly upset as well.After that, Bill didn't feel like seeing anyone. So, Millie left without getting any of the answers she was searching for.In the end, she decided to visit the villa, thinking she might find some clues there.When Millie arrived, she learned that Pierce had returned but had locked himself in a room upstairs. He hadn't eaten or drunk anything for two whole days. Then, after coming out of the room, he left and never returned.Millie recalled that there was a locked room upstairs that no one was allowed to enter. Pierce was the only one who had access to it, and he would occasionally clean it himself.Before his disappearance, he had only gone to that room and stayed there for two days. There had to be some clue inside.Millie decided to check it out, but there was no key to open it. Pierce's fingerprint and iris scan wer

Pierce had been missing for a full week now.Millie and Tobias were completely out of leads and could only patiently wait for any news. Millie's network wasn't as extensive as Tobias's. So, if he couldn't find Pierce, she naturally stood no chance.Though Millie claimed to not care, she had been eating poorly and hadn't been getting much sleep. As a result, she'd lost significant weight during this time.Every day, she went to her design studio but couldn't produce any work. She lived aimlessly with her mind constantly troubled.By now, news of Pierce's disappearance had already spread. Some speculated that his years as a police officer had earned him too many enemies and that he had been secretly silenced. Others suggested that he had fallen gravely ill and gone abroad for treatment.Julian had heard the rumors and noticed Millie's distracted state. He saw how she was unwilling to stay home and how she forced herself to keep busy. It made him feel sorry for her."Millie, why d

Jacob left, leaving Millie alone outside the operating room. It was pure torment, and her mind raced with countless questions.Why? Why was Pierce calling her name? Didn't he have a long-lost first love he secretly admired? Could that first love be her?Nevertheless, Millie couldn't recall ever saving him, nor could she understand why both three years ago and now, her presence seemed to drive him to irrational extremes—so much so that he would even risk his life.Could her words really carry so much weight? Who was the person Pierce loved so deeply? Was it her? Where did this love begin, and why did it run so deep? Why couldn't she remember ever crossing paths with him?Millie's head throbbed in pain as a fragment of a memory flickered briefly in her mind. It seemed almost within reach, but when she tried desperately to grasp it, it slipped away and left no trace.Millie's breathing grew ragged, and the pain became unbearable. Only by forcing herself not to think about it coul

The call did nothing to calm Millie. Instead, it left her even more confused.She had always known that Pierce had a strained relationship with his family. He'd only ever been close to Bill and Samantha. But she had never imagined that Pierce was an illegitimate child.After all, he had never mentioned it.Even Tobias, who had worked closely with him for years, had never truly known his inner thoughts. He had hidden himself from everyone and kept it all to himself.Wasn't he lonely, carrying all of those burdens alone?Millie began, "Pierce, I'm sorry. I said very harsh and hurtful words to you. Despite the incident on the ship, I don't regret saving you back then. Maybe it was a small thing, but you remembered it. And I… I can't even recall it!"I've been trying so hard to convince myself that if it weren't you, it would've been someone else. If it were anyone else, I could hate them without any qualms. But… I don't know how to face you. That's why I've been avoiding you and sta

The call was quickly answered."Where are you?" Millie asked."I'm still on a business trip," Pierce replied."Then turn on the video. I want to see your face."There was a brief silence on the other end of the call. Millie knew Pierce was lying. "Are you still not willing to tell me the truth? Jason came to the house, asking to take back your gun. What's going on? What happened in the days you were away?""I'll tell you when I get back home." Pierce's voice was a bit muffled.He then hung up the call and removed the bandage from the corner of his eye.The wound was right beside his eyebrow. Since he had dark eyebrows, the scar shouldn't be that noticeable. He could only cling on to this wishful thinking.With that, Pierce returned to the villa.Millie hadn't seen him for days. She felt that he had lost a lot of weight and looked even more exhausted after the trip."How did you get injured again?" she asked.Pierce initially thought it would take her a long time to notic

Jacob eventually calmed down and said, "Do you still insist on doing this when you know it doesn't exactly benefit us?"Pierce replied, "I wouldn't dare to deceive you, neither do I dare to contact you in private. But this doesn't affect our operations, which was why I dared to do so. I want to find someone, but I can't no matter how hard I've tried, so I had no choice but to ask for their favor.""You… Are you still doing it even though we won't get anything good out of this?" Jacob asked.Pierce fell silent and clenched his fists. "Yes. I will resolve whatever problems I've caused. After that, I'll kill them in my own way."Jacob threw his cup at Pierce upon hearing this.With Pierce's skill, he could have dodged it. However, he chose to stand straight.The cup hit him right at the corner of his eye, causing him to bleed."You…" Jacob angrily stood up. "W-Why didn't you dodge?" he asked in a shaky voice."I did something wrong. It's right for you to punish me," Pierce simply

Gideon really admired Pierce's calm and composed demeanor."What's the matter?" he asked."I need you to help me find a lady who went missing. I have to know if she's still alive or not," Pierce answered. "I need her, dead or alive. I can't do this on my own, but with your help, it'll be much easier."He had used every legal method he could think of. But desperate times called for desperate measures, and there was only one option left—to enter the underworld."You're making such a big scene just to look for this one person? What? Is she like your lover or something?" Gideon asked."She's an enemy, the kind that I want dead more than anything."The way Pierce paused after each word made him sound eerily intimidating."Is she also like us, from the underworld?""No, she's just a nobody."Gideon felt chills running down his spine. Having dealt with Pierce for this long, he thought he knew his true nature well enough—a righteous police officer who always played by the book. But ri

Pierce felt like he was drowning, but if someone were to pull him out of the water right now, he would survive.Sometimes, Millie couldn't imagine what would happen if she left Pierce one day because of her disappointment in him. Would he still be able to move on?Pierce survived by clinging onto his sheer will. At first, it was the fixation on avenging his sister's death. But now, it was all because of Millie."What are you going to do now?" she asked."I can't tell you just yet, but I promise it won't take longer than three months."Since Pierce wasn't planning to elaborate, Millie didn't bother to keep on asking either.For the past few days, Millie had been carefully taking care of the wound on Pierce's neck. Even though a small patch of new pink flesh had grown over his wound, it still looked pretty hideous. Fortunately, Pierce always wore suits with collars that were high enough to cover his neck. Millie would always start tearing up whenever she saw his scar.She said,

Pierce was aghast. Mills! His poor Mills!Everyone around Pierce had accused him of committing a crime, but he didn't do it. He had been trying so hard to find out the truth, but in the end, he still got nothing.Did he really betray Millie? Did he really taint himself by sleeping with Sarah?Even if he truly believed that Piercy didn't do anything, he still couldn't find any evidence to prove it.Sarah and Piercy were nowhere to be found either.How was he supposed to prove his innocence? He felt like a trapped beast that couldn't find its way out.Just then, Millie made a subtle twitch. It startled Pierce, and he immediately withdrew his arm around her and pretended to remain unconscious.Millie didn't sleep well at all. The first thing she did after waking up was to check on Pierce. The monitor showed that Pierce's heart was racing.She then brought out a warm towel and gently wiped his face.She began, "Your hair has grown so much longer, but you didn't even properly

Millie rushed forward and saw the disconcerting look in Pierce's eyes.Pierce hadn't rested for two days, so his nerves were stretched to their absolute limit. His eyes were completely bloodshot too.The moment he saw Millie, he grabbed her like he was a drowning man who finally got his hands on a life buoy. His large hands clamped down on her arm with such force that it felt like he was going to crush her bones.Pierce howled, "Tell him to come out, please! He listens to you. Ask him to come out, Millie. I don't care if he takes over this body. I just need him to tell me the truth! Did I betray you? Did I mess around with another woman? I'm begging you…""Pierce, calm down please." Millie tried to soothe him."How can I calm down? I want to be with you, but if I really did betray you, then at least let me die knowing the truth! What am I supposed to do now? How long does he plan to torture me?"Pierce shoved Millie aside, frantically searching around the room. He even lunged at

Samantha looked at Stefan in disbelief. "You still have feelings for Millie… Is that what you're saying?""What else? Do you expect me to have feelings for you? As long as you stay in your place, I won't make things too difficult for you. But don't overestimate yourself," Stefan sternly warned."You… You weren't like this before! I'll abort this child and make you regret it for the rest of your life! I'll really do it—try me!" Samantha cried.Stefan didn't bother mincing his words. "Do you think you can threaten me? There are plenty of women who want to have my child. Who do you think you are? If you don't give birth, Wanda will probably be thrilled. "The Atkinson family doesn't want you anymore. So, you're no longer some rich heiress. You're just Betty Miller now. If you leave me, who else can you rely on?"Ever since Samantha got pregnant, Stefan's goal had already been achieved. He didn't even care about his own child. He was happy to let Samantha and Wanda fight to the death,

For the next two days, Millie still didn't see Pierce.During that time, she continued visiting the hospital every other day to check on Stefan's condition. There were signs of improvement, but because of the sulfuric acid burns and the severity of the wounds, recovery would not be a quick process.Since they didn't have much to talk about, Millie simply read to him to help pass the time."I'll come back the day after tomorrow," she softly said, setting the book down.Stefan nodded, unsure whether he should keep holding on or let her go for good.Just as Millie reached the door, he couldn't help but call out to her again, "Do you regret it?""Regret what?" Millie turned back to look at him."Regret… being with me."Millie replied, "I do. But people don't have the ability to see the future. So, some mistakes are worth experiencing because at the very least, they teach us lessons. "I've learned to approach love with more clarity now. I will love myself first before loving any
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 597
Stefan said, "I'll take good care of myself…" Then, he suddenly started coughing. At this point, he couldn't tell whether the pain in his body was worse or if his heart hurt more.Millie panicked. If Stefan's condition worsened, how would she explain things to Agnes? So, she quickly got Stefan a glass of water and helped him take a sip. Only then did he finally manage to catch his breath.Millie felt completely useless sitting there. No matter what they talked about, it felt inappropriate. Her presence might even be making things harder for him."How about I turn on the TV for you? It'll help pass the time." Millie suggested."You don't need to do anything. Just stay here with me quietly," Stefan said."Alright then." So, Millie picked up a book and began reading to him.Her voice was as sweet as a songbird's. However, Stefan couldn't focus on anything she was reading—the only thing he saw was her delicate face.Time ticked by slowly.Meanwhile, Pierce stood outside the
