Wanda's smile froze on her face.The wound on Millie's chest was unmistakably real. It was a ragged, gaping hole that looked like the result of multiple stabs. Blood gushed out, soaking the bandages and Millie's torn clothes. The stitches had completely burst due to Wanda's reckless actions. Millie's face turned deathly pale as pain wracked her body."This can't be real! How could you risk your own life like this?" Wanda cried out, unable to believe her eyes.In a desperate bid to prove her theory, she pressed her fingers against the wound. Instantly, she felt the sticky warmth of fresh blood on her fingertips."There must be a blood bag. Where is it hidden? This has to be special effects, right?" Wanda's voice grew shrill, her disbelief mounting.She couldn't comprehend how Millie had made the wound look so realistic. It was exactly the same as a real wound! This was impossible!Millie couldn't stand the excruciating pain—her body was quickly reaching its limit. She had

Pierce icily snapped, "What right do you have to be concerned about her? She's in this state because of you. You're not blameless.""I know. This time, I won't let Wanda off so easily," Stefan replied in a quiet voice."This time?" Pierce stepped closer, his imposing presence forcing Stefan to instinctively step back. "I'm not just talking about this time. I'm talking about everything you've done to her over the years! You stripped her of her confidence and made her fear love itself. "She's so hesitant and afraid of being hurt again—so much so that she can't fully commit to anyone. She's afraid that at the end of the day, she'll have nothing and no one. You've made her terrified of taking risks in love! You were the one who wronged her, yet I have to suffer all the consequences."She bent over backward for you, smoothed her edges, and lost herself in trying to revolve around your world. She sacrificed so much for you—how dare you betray her? She could have accepted any reason for

Robin and Rachel found themselves speechless.They had expected a lengthy argument—perhaps even a confrontation. But to their surprise, Stefan had made up his mind to divorce Wanda.Agnes took the divorce agreement from Stefan and glanced through it. She noticed that he had allocated a generous portion of his assets to Wanda. It was enough for her to live comfortably after getting divorced.Given that their prenuptial agreement stated that Wanda was entitled to nothing in the event of a divorce, this was an act of goodwill on Stefan's part. He was either doing this for the sake of the Leach family's reputation or to simply give himself peace of mind.Thus, Agnes refrained from commenting further. Instead, she sternly advised, "Since you've decided on this, don't let her sweet talk sway you into changing your mind.""Don't worry. It's for real this time. I'm cutting all ties with her," Stefan said with an air of finality."Good. Handle this yourself. We won't comment further,"

After writing the long letter in blood, Wanda attempted to commit suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills.She was aware that the drug she took would induce vomiting as a safeguard when consumed in large amounts. As long as one of the maids noticed and rushed her to the hospital, she wouldn't actually die.Millie had gambled with her life, so Wanda decided to take a similar risk. After swallowing most of the pills, she scattered the remaining ones on the floor to ensure her act was unmistakable.Yet, fear coursed through her. She was scared that she might go too far and accidentally kill herself for real. But she had no other options left.After a while, her body reacted. Her stomach churned violently and painfully, and cold sweat soaked her face as she turned ghostly pale. Foamy bile then surged up her throat as she dry-heaved and convulsed.The sensation was unbearable—there was burning pain in her stomach accompanied by dizziness and weakness.Wanda deliberately rolled off t

Agnes was already deeply disappointed in Stefan, so she didn't really care how he chose to handle the matter. Even if he decided not to divorce Wanda, she wouldn't be surprised."I'm sorry, Grandma. I know I hurt you deeply over the past few weeks," Stefan apologetically said. "We are family and bound by blood. Even if you hurt me, we can always patch things up and fall back on our familial ties. But what about those who don't share our blood? When they've been hurt, it stays that way. Don't expect unconditional forgiveness from them."Agnes' words seemed to carry a deeper meaning.Stefan opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out. Agnes was right—Millie wouldn't forgive him unconditionally.After ending the call, Stefan didn't visit Wanda. Instead, he instructed others to care for her.Wanda, on the other hand, hoped to see him, as she felt increasingly uneasy. She had caused a massive scene, and Stefan had been genuinely distressed when bringing her to the ho

"Alright." Pierce agreed as he pulled Millie into a deep embrace. He rested his chin gently in the crook of her neck and greedily breathed in her soothing fragrance. Being close to her calmed him and cleared his mind so that he could think rationally.Whenever he found himself on the brink of going down the wrong path, all he had to do was think about Millie. Whenever he imagined what she would do, it helped him to suppress the evil thoughts brewing inside him."I've made a public announcement about calling off my engagement with Charlotte. No one can gossip and spread rumors about you anymore," Pierce said."That's great. I'm feeling a little hungry. I'll go to the kitchen to grab something to eat," Millie replied, lazily stretching.She was confident that Pierce wouldn't let her suffer unjustly, so she trusted him to handle everything. However, as she left, she forgot to take her phone.Pierce was on a call with Tobias when Millie's phone screen lit up with an incoming call.

"I needed to use the bathroom. Why?" Pierce casually replied as if he hadn't noticed anything.Millie steadied her breathing. She hadn't done anything wrong, but a strange sense of guilt gnawed at her, making her feel as if she were hiding some scandalous secret.She took a deep breath and reminded herself that she needed to clear the air. She hadn't betrayed Pierce, so there was no reason to feel guilty."I'm just dealing with something from the studio," she nonchalantly said."Need any help?" Pierce offered."No, no. It'll be quick." Millie hastily declined."Alright, I'll be in the study then." Pierce gave her a long, deliberate look that made her feel even more unsettled before he finally turned and left.Once the door closed, Millie wasted no time. She locked it and immediately called the fertility center.She firmly stated, "Hello, I'd like to cancel the service. Please don't send me any more matches in the future.""Ms. Jordan, as per the terms of your contract, the fee

But what right did he have to be dissatisfied with Millie? "If that's how you feel, I'll treat any child of yours as my own," Pierce solemnly said."What?" Millie blinked, confused. Since when did she have a child?"You're acting strange today," she said, narrowing her eyes."It's nothing. Let's eat." Pierce lowered his gaze and began peeling Millie's favorite shrimps for her.Millie didn't press further. After all, she was used to his peculiarities. While Pierce managed other people and their affairs with calculated precision, he always seemed to lose his composure when it came to her. He was decisive and confident in everything else but hesitant and insecure when dealing with her.Being with someone like Pierce was exhausting, but Millie knew she'd already lost too much in life. She could understand the pathological depth of Pierce's love, and his tenderness warmed her heart.Someone had loved her for 20 years. When everyone else had abandoned her, he had remained stead

Upon hearing those words, Stefan immediately found his thoughts drifting back to three years ago.He remembered how Millie was huddled within a crowd with innocent eyes resembling those of a newborn fawn. They were full of naivety and fear about what lay ahead.She had caught his attention immediately. Then, his next thought was how much she resembled Wanda. They were very similar, yet not quite the same. Instantly, his heart had softened."You and he are not the same. You met me on your first try," Stefan said."No, we are the same. If it weren't for Pierce's backing, I'd be no different from Tristan to you. We're both people you could easily deal with! I refuse to let this go no matter what!" Millie resolutely replied, enunciating every word.Stefan's expression took on a hint of displeasure. "Why must you interfere in a matter involving some male escort? Is it because you two had been involved at some point in time? Aren't you afraid that Pierce will be upset if you stand up fo

The Jordans were humiliated and disgraced in Arbelton. They'd rather die than face the shame of returning.They'd even cut ties with Millie. It was as if just the thought of Millie would bring back the memories of the sneers and the ridicule they had to endure from their so-called friends."Frederick, what a remarkable daughter you have! Rumor has it that she met Mr. Leach while working at a nightclub. Congratulations! With Mr. Leach's favor, you will turn your life around!" one friend had said.Frederick was ashamed of Millie ever since. Perhaps, he had already decided to give up on her back then.Millie's thoughts snapped back to reality as her phone continued ringing. Finally, she mustered up her courage and picked up the phone."Dad…""Don't call me 'Dad'! Do you know what people are saying about you out there? They called you a seductress! First, you seduced Stefan, and now you're after Pierce!"You embarrassed yourself when you decided to be with Stefan. You should've just

Ethan was overjoyed. Back then, he was in a dilemma over choosing between Atkinson Group and Leach Group.Ethan preferred Atkinson Group, but Pierce's strong and dictatorial attitude left no room for compromise. So, he reluctantly chose Leach Group instead.But now, Ethan knew he was in the wrong. It didn't matter who he worked with as long as this issue could be solved.…Stefan appeared to be uneasy after Ethan left.Mark spoke up at just the right moment, saying, "Mr. Leach, logically speaking, you shouldn't make further concessions on the contract terms. Ms. Jordan doesn't seem to welcome you.""I know, but this is going to be beneficial for Leach Group. I have to give it a shot. I can offer her benefits…" Stefan said.Mark wanted to say something, but he held back. Clearly, Millie wasn't someone who could be swayed by material benefits. After all, was there anything she couldn't get when she had Pierce backing her up?Stefan, however, was simply driven by pride—he just

Sharon was still bawling her eyes out.Millie felt deeply sorry for her. She patted Sharon's head to comfort her while saying, "I'll find out who she is."And so, Millie had Tobias to investigate the rich lady's background. They uncovered that her name was Helen Whitmore. Her husband had passed away early, and her son, Ethan Keaton, didn't care about her. So, she spent her days hanging out at clubs with her friends.Ethan ran a tech company, and its AI system which was undergoing development at the moment was highly sought after by many. AI technology was currently a hot commodity, and Atkinson Group was one of the interested parties extending an olive branch to him."Is Atkinson Group interested in securing this particular project?" Millie asked."Yes. But right now, Leach Group is in negotiations with that company. It seems they're close to finalizing the contract—"Tobias' phone was suddenly snatched away."Mills, don't worry about me. Do whatever you want. If the sky fa

Sharon began, "At first, I wondered how there could be two people in the world who looked so similar to each other. Turns out, they were actually the same person. He didn't use to go by the name Tristan. "Back then, he moved away to a better house because his family business became successful. However, it turned out that his father was having an affair. As a result, his parents swiftly divorced."He went to live with his father and his cruel stepmother. Soon after, his stepmother became pregnant, and his father began to act like a stepfather. Tristan suffered a lot while he was under the care of his father and stepmother. They prevented him from going to school and even starved him at times."Soon, his mother came to know of the way he was being treated and took back custody of him. It seemed like a fresh beginning for him, but it turned out that the man his mother got remarried to was a deadbeat. "The real reason she took back custody of Tristan was so that she could get child s

"It's okay. I'll care about it on your behalf," Pierce said. "Pierce, have you ever thought about the possibility that I could have kept enduring Stefan's treatment toward me? Or imagine if we missed each other because you came back only after I'd left Arbelton."All these things you've done would have been meaningless and nothing would have come out of them," Millie said. "Not all flowers must bear fruit, Mills. It doesn't matter as long as they had the chance to bloom before. Plus, I never would have given up. I would still have shown up in front of you to fight for a chance. Even if you rejected me, I would have met my own fate."Whether it was dying in a mission or being alone for the rest of his life, Pierce would still have met his fate. It just wouldn't be a happy ending."There's no need to do things like that anymore, Pierce. You can love me boldly and openly. You can even announce it to the world! Don't make yourself twisted by forcing yourself to secretly do these t

Millie felt her nose tingling with emotion, but she kept it bottled up. However, the moment she saw her room, she could no longer hold it in and began to cry. In the past, the master bedroom had been inhabited by her parents. Both she and her younger brother, Mateo, had smaller rooms. However, Mateo's room was much bigger than hers, and it also had a balcony and a walk-in closet.Before Mateo was born, that used to be Millie's room. But after he was born, Millie found that all her possessions had been moved to the guest room one day after returning home from school."You'll eventually be married off to someone else, but your brother is different. He'll bring a wife home one day," her parents had said.So just like that, the room that originally belonged to her was given to Mateo. But now, that room with the balcony and the walk-in closet was back, and it was filled with all her possessions. Even the bedsheets and the plushies were perfectly duplicated—everything looked the same.

"You're so beautiful, Mills," Pierce said.When Millie heard this, her heart skipped a beat. When Pierce let his guard down, his glistening eyes made him look like a puppy. Millie found it hard to breathe evenly when he looked up at her like that.She held his face and leaned forward before kissing his lips. Although she was the one who started it, Pierce was the one who took control afterward. He impatiently kissed her. He thought that if he tried just a little harder, maybe then Millie wouldn't have a child with someone else. Instead, she might consider having one with him. He wanted to be acknowledged. He wanted to gain honor through his child. Pierce wanted to go even further with Millie. However, he didn't dare to because he knew that Millie still resisted him.His chest rose and fell unevenly as the kiss ended. Then, he looked at Millie with an even more pitiful gaze. His gaze held his unsatisfied desires. It was very tough for him to restrain himself, yet, there

When Millie heard Pierce's words, her heart swelled with warmth. She felt both bittersweet and deeply touched. Right away, she instructed the housekeepers help to move her things into the study.The room was spacious enough for two people, and even then, there was still ample space to spare.Millie was like a paintbrush adding vibrant colors to Pierce's monochromatic sketch of a life. Her presence was akin to putting green trees, white clouds, and vivid flowers in the drawing. Bit by bit, she would fill the canvas that was Pierce's life."You continue with what you're doing. I'll just curl up here and read for a while," Millie said, reclining on her chaise lounge with a fashion magazine in hand.Before long, her eyelids grew heavy. She nodded off with her head tilting to one side as she fell into a deep sleep.Seated at his desk, Pierce allowed himself to openly gawk at her. He could hardly believe that this was real. Millie's willingness to be near him filled him with an in
