I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 427
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

When Stefan saw Pierce, his face turned ashen. "See? I wasn't wrong. All you do is rely on Pierce!""And what about you? You're nothing more than someone who was born into privilege and happened to inherit the Leach family's legacy. How could you bask in the glory your forefathers built so unabashedly?" Pierce retorted."Don't forget that you and I come from similar backgrounds. What gives you the right to lecture me?" Stefan hotly argued."No, I'm not like you. Even without Atkinson Group, I'd still have my own career. Without the Leach family, what would you be? Could you climb the career ladder from the bottom up like an ordinary person? Without your status as the CEO of Leach Group, what are you even capable of?"You're just as much of a bully, so who are you to criticize others? Listen, Millie has never relied on me—it was me who willingly offered everything to her. For Millie to spare me a glance is my greatest blessing! That, too, is a skill. She has the ability to make me u

"Are you the CEO of Atkinson Group, Pierce Atkinson?" Frederick asked.Pierce replied, "I am.""Do you like Millie?""I do.""Then how dare you talk to me like this? She's my daughter. She has to do whatever I tell her to do. It's not up to you to interfere. Give her the phone. Let me talk to her!" Frederick demanded.Millie snatched the phone and yelled back, "I don't want to talk to you right now! Pierce is right! This is a debt that the Jordan family owes—not me! If it needs to be repaid, you should do it yourself!"After saying this, she furiously hung up the call. Then, to prevent Frederick from contacting her again, she immediately blocked his number.Her family had never cared about her anyway. They were always fixated on her brother and the Jordan family's reputation while thinking she was an embarrassment. This led them to shun her and to never contact her for three whole years.Millie decided that she didn't need the Jordan family anymore. It wasn't a big deal."Let

"Don't you trust me at all?" Pierce countered, his gaze intense.Millie bit her lip, realizing that her question was unnecessary. "Why are you so good to me?""Because you taught me to be."Overcome with emotion, Millie gave Pierce a deep kiss. For the first time, she took the lead. She pushed Pierce down and fervently kissed him. Her hands clumsily roamed over him, pulling off his shirt to reveal his perfectly toned upper body.The situation was heated at first, but as time passed, Millie began to lose steam. Her fervor and energy waned significantly. She still couldn't do it, after all.Pierce, however, became immensely aroused. His readiness to procreate was almost intimidating."Um… I'm hungry…" Millie meekly muttered.Pierce saw through her excuse but didn't call her out on it. "Alright, let's eat. You go in first. I'll join you in a bit."He needed a moment to compose himself.Millie fled in embarrassment. In her haste, she ran straight into a tree trunk. The impac

"Are you asking this of me because you think I'm a pushover who'll easily give in? Do you think this family can stay intact as long as I bow my head and apologize? Mateo, this family has always been yours, not mine. "Even if they come to Arbelton, I won't see them. Tell them to leave. I have nothing to say to any of you," Millie said and hung up the phone.Over the past three years, Mateo was the only one who had stayed in touch with her. He occasionally asked if she and Stefan were doing well, but Millie rarely responded. Over time, Mateo stopped reaching out and their communication was reduced to him sending token holiday messages.Mateo sometimes acknowledged that their parents were unfair and admitted it wasn't right. But he only ever voiced these thoughts and never truly resisted them because he was the one benefiting from their favoritism.For example, if there was only one piece of cake left at home, Emily would ask Millie to give it all to Mateo."Give it to your brothe
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 433
Mateo continued to complain via text, "It was you who ignored me, and now you don't want anyone else to assist me? Stefan has spoiled you too much that you've developed such a bad temper. You used to be so gentle!"He proceeded to send several messages in a row, each one testing Millie's patience even more than the last. Millie was so furious that she was almost ready to storm into the restaurant and flip their table over.Nevertheless, she held back. After all, there was no point arguing with a fool.If reasoning with Mateo didn't work, she wouldn't bother trying anymore. It was better to just let them do whatever they wanted.Millie blocked Mateo's number as well. She even considered publishing a public announcement that she was cutting ties with the Jordan family should it be necessary. After all, she had already changed her registered address to her studio in Arbelton three years ago.Meanwhile, Mateo and Stefan were still having their meal at the restaurant."Stefan, I gue

"Mills, I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?" Pierce suggested going on a short trip.Millie knew that he'd made that suggestion so that she could avoid facing her family for a while. After all, if they couldn't find her, they wouldn't be able to pressure her.However, Millie understood that steering clear of them would only provide temporary relief. She'd still need to face them sooner or later."There's no need. It's high time I meet with them," Millie firmly said, exhaling a deep breath as she looked at him with determination. "This is my family matter. I should handle it myself.""Alright. No matter what happens, I'll be by your side." Pierce tightly gripped her hand, and the warmth from his fingertips slowly melted the ice in her heart.Millie then called Agnes, hoping that she could ask Stefan to stop interfering in her family's affairs.Agnes felt ashamed that Stefan stuck his nose where he shouldn't have. "Don't worry. I'll give him a proper

Millie's mind was completely addled. Before Pierce could answer her, images started popping up into her brain. "There's not enough time to get a doctor…""No…""Please, please help me. I can't hold on any longer!"Millie froze in place. She was the one who cried and begged Pierce again and again to take care of it for her. He never actually went all the way, and instead used other methods to help her so she could still keep her virginity intact. Today was indeed their actual first time!"How? How can this be? This isn't how I remember it! Why are my memories all jumbled?" That was when Millie recalled how the doctor had mentioned how a human's brain had the ability to protect itself. When experiencing certain trauma or fear, the brain would subconsciously forget or alter certain memories.Moreover, the drug that day was especially potent. It not only charged one's sexual need into hyperdrive, but could also cause hallucinations. That was why she remembered hearing Pierce's v

"Mills… I… I can still hold on…" whispered Pierce in a small, pained voice. Millie saw how he was holding himself back and felt her heart break. "This is your only chance. There might not even be a next time.""Please, just go," he forced out."Silly, I'm telling you to just get on with it!" Millie was livid."But I'm worried you'll get mad…" Pierce groaned. He was worried that he might do something that crossed Millie's boundaries, and that she would never forgive him when she came to her senses. He would much rather just hold it in and do nothing, even if he was the one who would end up suffering.Millie coaxed him patiently. "I won't get mad. Please, Pierce… I want you to. I really do." She even took the initiative and gave his earlobes a gentle nibble. And with that, Pierce took the reins back and kissed her fiercely.At first, Millie assumed that things would be more successful this time round since Pierce was experienced. However, it seemed like he continuously missed

"Get out!" Pierce bellowed. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he tightly gripped Millie's wrist, trying to push her out of the room. However, Millie refused to leave."Go!" Pierce growled, his voice strained with urgency. Just the sensation of her cool, delicate skin against his was enough to make him lose control."I… I don't know who drugged me, but you're in danger if you stay here with me. Please just leave me alone for now," he said, struggling to keep his voice steady."If it gets worse, knock me out. Just knock me out," he begged, his rationality slipping away.He reached for the desk lamp and placed it in Millie's hands. "Hit me!" he desperately yelled.Millie's mind was in a mess. How could she possibly hurt him?"Go to the bedroom first. I'll come and check on you later," she said before rushing out of the study.She quickly instructed the house staff to leave the premises, not wanting them to overhear or witness anything they shouldn't. Then, she returned to

Pierce frowned slightly, confused about why the doctor insisted on Millie joining him for the consultation. Nevertheless, he respected the doctor's advice and called her over."Your wife is very pretty," the doctor remarked."Yes, she's beautiful," Pierce responded, proudly puffing out his chest.Millie rolled her eyes upon hearing that."Doctor, is there something wrong with him? Is it serious?" she nervously asked. When she learned that the doctor had specifically requested her presence, she was worried that Pierce might have some kind of serious health issue."Do you two not have a healthy sex life? Look at him—he's clearly been holding back too much. There's nothing wrong with him physically. But he's young, full of energy, and at the age where he needs… a release. "Should I examine you too, miss?" the doctor asked.The comment left Millie's face burning with embarrassment, and even the tip of Pierce's ears turned a faint red.The elderly doctor was certainly not one to mi

"Mills, are you inside?" Pierce called out.He'd hurried back home after the housekeeper told him that Millie had retreated to her room early. He thought she'd gone to bed, but the lights were still on, and there was no sign of her.However, the bathroom door was tightly shut. Worried that she might have passed out inside from staying in the bath for too long, Pierce knocked on the door. "Mills?"Millie wanted to respond, but no sound came out of her mouth. Her body felt completely drained."Mills?" Pierce's voice grew more urgent. "If you don't come out, I'm coming in."After waiting for another minute and not getting a response, Pierce opened the door and found Millie slumped in the bathtub, completely soaked and looking utterly disheveled."Mills!" Pierce was alarmed to see her in such a fragile and exhausted state.He immediately assumed that it was the lingering impact of her family's recent visit. He thought that Millie was still trapped in sadness, unable to move past t

"Does our family have to end up in this state?" Mateo asked, bewildered. Everything had been fine before they came to Arbelton. Why had it all fallen apart after one short visit?He understood that Millie had suffered, but it was undeniable that she was heartless too. Wasn't she the one who had torn the family apart?"Think it over yourself. For now, come home with me," Emily said.After everything that had happened, Emily had made up her mind. She finally saw Frederick for who he was. She still had a shred of conscience and was willing to admit that the Jordan family had wronged Millie. But Frederick's chauvinistic attitude disgusted her. Why was it so hard for him to admit that Millie did better than him? She wasn't a stranger—she was family, after all.The Jordan family had arrived in Arbelton feeling wronged and self-righteous, but they left with their tails between their legs.Meanwhile, Agnes followed through on her promise to formally take Millie in as her honorary gr

"Why did you hit Mateo?" Emily immediately stepped forward to shield Mateo."Are you mocking me too? Try me, and I'll kick you out of the Jordan family as well!" Frederick snapped.Emily clapped back at him, her voice trembling with rage, "Maybe my son and I should leave together! That's all you have left to threaten us with, isn't it? Because we still rely on you financially. "But Millie is different. She's independent and far more capable than you think. She doesn't need your money, so you can't control her. You've lost your authority, and it frustrates you. You can't accept it, so you lash out like a petty clown. "You can't win anywhere, so you take it out on Mateo. Was he wrong in what he said just now? Also, you don't seem to have reflected on this entire situation at all. Do you realize how much Millie suffered to save this family back then? You're still enjoying a fine life now, and this is all thanks to her. "Why are you biting the hand that fed you?"Another loud slap

Mateo and Emily met Millie's gaze with guilt written all over their faces. They had finally come to understand the hardships that Millie had endured three years ago and realized just how over the line they had been.Still, Frederick was the head of the family, and their survival depended on him. They couldn't defy his authority."Mr. Jordan, what brings you here?" Millie asked, her tone calm and detached.Frederick had specially arranged for the book containing their family tree to be sent from their hometown. The old, yellowed book carried a significant weight, both physically and symbolically."Listen, Millie. You are being expelled from the family. Your name will be removed from the family tree! This is the Jordan family disowning you!" Frederick declared.He flipped to the page where her name was written and crossed it out in front of everyone present.He imagined that this grand and dramatic gesture would intimidate Millie. He then said solemnly, "From now on, the Jordan f

Frederick finally saw the light of day. Initially, he had been confident that Emily and Mateo would come to his rescue. He was certain that Millie wouldn't dare to keep him detained for long.Each day, he prepared to be released. But as the days passed, he watched others being bailed out while he was left to endure endless interrogations. His frustration turned into anger and defiance, but his resistance only led to his fellow detainees teaching him a harsh lesson with their fists.Humbled and bruised, he eventually fell in line. Fear began to consume him, and his thoughts drifted back to his time in prison. He'd been made to wake up at fixed hours, eat at designated times, and make his bed to perfection. He had to toil in the sun and endure the abuse of fellow inmates.Every day had been unbearable in there, and the desperation to escape grew stronger as time passed. He knew in his heart that he was innocent, and the injustice of it all only made him yearn for freedom.When
