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

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
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 428
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

Millie Jordan was about to experience what a woman would go through if she were abducted by a group of perverted kidnappers.A dark cloth was tied over her eyes and her mouth was taped shut. She shivered in a corner like a frightened animal. Her body was littered with cuts and bruises all over. The rope around her neck was only less than three feet long. If she moved any further forward, the rope would tighten around her neck, making her unable to breathe.She'd tried struggling many times before, but she always ended up breathless and blue in the face. Her voice was hoarse, and her throat hurt. She simply couldn't get away.She could hear the abductors angrily cursing at her outside the door. They had tried forcing themselves on her just now, but she fought back and bit one of them harshly in the throat. She'd bitten him so hard that his laryngeal bone nearly broke and she nearly killed him.That was the reason why she was beaten half to death and tied up in a corner like this.

Verdier Club was a place Stefan often frequented to drink and hang out with his friends. Millie's conscience told her that the abductor had been lying to her, so she shouldn't be believing what he said. However, she just couldn't stop herself from coming over to have a look for herself.She had been with Stefan for three years and knew the private room he was often in. She rushed there at once."You lost, Ste! So, truth, or dare?""Truth.""Alright then. Who is the woman you love the most?""How's that even a question? Of course, it's Wanda.""Ooh!"Everyone in the private room started to laugh and riot.Millie stood outside the door, her face turning more pale with every second. Her legs felt like lead, and her hand hung mechanically in the air. She couldn't bring herself to knock on the door.A while later, the people in the room seemed to have played another round of "Truth or Dare", and the "Wanda" from before seemed to have lost."You lost, Wanda! So, truth, or dare?"

Pierce extended his hand toward Millie. His fingers were long and slender, and he had a large palm.Millie was frozen in place when she heard his voice again. She was shocked. However, the drunk man rushed up to them just then. Still under the influence of alcohol, he yelled, "Are you fucking blind? Did you not see me standing there? I'm going to skin you…"Pierce said nothing. He handed the umbrella over to Millie and grabbed the drunk man, forcing his arms behind his back.Then, he pulled out his phone and called someone. A while later, the police officers from the nearby station showed up."This man harassed a young woman on the street. He should be a repeat offender. Take him back to the station as a fair warning to him.""Alright, we'll take care of him," the police officers said politely before taking the drunk man away.Millie should have grabbed the opportunity to run while Pierce was busy talking to the police. However, her legs refused to budge. She was still rooted t

Pierce was on the phone with someone and didn't notice Millie coming out."Alright, I'll go shopping with you this weekend. I'm driving now, so I'm hanging up. Okay, I'll do whatever you say."Pierce gave off the impression that he was a tough guy who spoke his mind in an assertive way. However, he was now speaking gently into the phone with a ghost of a smile on his lips. Suddenly, he didn't look too intimidating anymore.He was most probably talking to someone he liked on the phone. Since he used to work with the law, he upheld it and didn't drive while talking on the phone.Millie looked like she'd just seen her savior. She hurriedly knocked on the driver's door.Pierce frowned and rolled the windows down. "What?" His voice was tinted with suspicion."I'm hanging up now. Something just came up. You can do whatever you want to me next time."Pierce seemed like he was trying to pacify the other person on the line before he hung up. Then, he stayed inside the car while looking a

Millie was shocked. She hurriedly called for the nurses at once.Bill had just been eating a second ago, but now, he was being wheeled into the emergency ward. Meanwhile, the sanatorium also hurriedly called Bill's relatives to inform them of the matter.Millie waited anxiously outside the ward. About an hour later, someone arrived in a hurry."Officer Atkinson?""What are you doing here?"Pierce frowned when he saw Millie. Bianca hurriedly explained, "She's a regular volunteer here, and Bill loves her the most. He's been complaining of shallow breathing lately and often wakes up in the middle of the night. We never thought his condition would suddenly relapse…"Pierce didn't bother chatting with Millie and continued asking about his grandfather's condition instead. It was only then that Millie finally learned of Bill's full name—Bill Atkinson.Bill was later wheeled into the operating theater for an emergency operation. He was only wheeled out four hours later.By the time B

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
