I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 429
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

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

"Grandma... You can't do this to me, Grandma..!" Stefan cried out.To his dismay, Agnes left without looking back.…The next day, Mateo tried to contact Stefan but couldn't reach him. When he called Millie, he found out that she had blocked him. Left with no other choice, he went to the airport alone to pick Frederick and Emily up. It had been three years since they'd left Arbelton, and so much had changed. When Frederick set foot in the city again, he was overwhelmed with complicated emotions. He couldn't help but sigh—he hated this city. The last time he left, he had left in disgrace.If it weren't for Millie doing as she wished, he wouldn't have had to return to this place that held so many bitter memories."Where's your sister?" he demanded."She blocked my number. I can't reach her," Mateo helplessly replied.Upon hearing this, Frederick's anger surged. "How dare she! She's gone overboard!"Mateo was still a college student with little life experience. He scrambled

"Alright, Mateo and I will handle this." Emily conceded.She took Frederick back to the hotel before returning with Mateo to request a meeting with Pierce.The receptionist continued to refuse their requests, so they waited in the lobby.Finally, Millie and Pierce appeared. The two of them looked like a perfect match when they stood next to each other."Millie!" Both Emily and Mateo emotionally called out.Millie knew that they were there and had specifically come to meet them."Come on up," she said, her tone indifferent.The elevator was spacious and could easily accommodate over a dozen people. Yet, with just the four of them inside, it felt oppressively small at that moment.Pierce's imposing presence was almost palpable, and his cold expression offered no trace of warmth or courtesy. There wasn't even any perfunctory pleasantry. With one strong arm wrapped around Millie's slender waist, he didn't so much as glance at the other two. This caused Emily's face to burn with

Millie was stunned and unable to speak for a long time. She could hardly believe that the man who had once been so gentle had now become someone who manipulated hearts and lives so effortlessly."Am I a terrible person now?" Stefan's lips curved into a bitter smile."Take care of yourself. That's your business, so I have no right to comment. I'm going to check on Pierce," Millie replied. She had already called Rachel to come and take care of Stefan.Stefan watched as Millie walked away. He knew that from this moment on, they would only grow further apart. There would be no second chances.Nevertheless, he didn't regret it. If he could do it all over again, he still would have made the same choices.…Millie returned to the hospital room and saw Pierce sitting at the bedside. He was staring at Samantha without saying a word.When he heard her footsteps, he finally said, "You're back, Mills. I've already arranged for her funeral.""Where will she be buried?" Millie inquired."Sh

Pierce saw Stefan standing alone outside the operating room with the doors wide open.A feeling of doom crept into his heart."Where is she?" His emotions surged uncontrollably as he grabbed Stefan by the collar."She's inside," Stefan said.The moment Pierce heard that, he strode toward the room. But just as he reached the doorway, Stefan spoke again, saying, "She's already dead."As his words fell, Pierce's steps froze, and his entire body started shaking.Not too far away, Millie heard Stefan's words too. Her chest tightened upon learning of Samantha's departure. They had rushed over as fast as they could. Yet, they still hadn't made it in time.Pierce moved forward with heavy steps.Inside the room, Samantha had already been tidied up. The blood-soaked sheets had been changed, and she was now dressed in her favorite outfit. Ironically, Pierce himself had bought that outfit for her. After she married Stefan, she took it with her and held on to it dearly.As Pierce looked

"Pierce… Pierce…" Samantha murmured weakly in her final moments as her vacant eyes stared up at the blinding ceiling lights. "Do you want to see him?" Stefan asked in a low voice."I… I'm dying. Can he… Can he come and see me one last time?" Her voice was barely a whisper. It was so faint that it was almost inaudible.Stefan couldn't bring himself to refuse her. He immediately called Pierce and told him about Samantha's condition."What did you just say?" Pierce couldn't believe what he was hearing. For a moment, he thought he had misheard."If you come now, you might still get to see her one last time." Stefan deadpanned.Pierce opened his mouth, but no sound came out.Just then, Millie took the phone from him. "We'll be there right away."No matter how deep their grudges had been, what was left to hold onto now that Samantha was on her deathbed? If Pierce didn't see her one last time, he would regret it for the rest of his life.Throughout the entire drive to the hospital,

At that moment, Samantha felt a searing pain in her abdomen. It was so painful that her face paled dramatically, and cold sweat drenched her body."Stefan… Stefan…" Samantha called out for help.Since she was already at the hospital, the medical staff quickly rushed over. A group of onlookers surrounded her too. She frantically scanned the faces around her, but Stefan was nowhere to be seen."It hurts…" She could feel something hot gushing down her legs."Why won't the bleeding stop?" one of the medical staff frantically asked."I have… a blood coagulation… disorder…" Samantha summoned all her remaining strength and managed to utter those words before losing consciousness completely."This is bad! What's her blood type? Where are her family members? Do they know about this?"It was then that Stefan finally arrived. Without hesitation, he provided Samantha's blood type so that the doctors could begin treatment immediately. The doctors immediately made it clear that the baby c

"You… You must be hungry. I'll heat the stew," Wanda said and went to prepare the food.To prevent miscarriage, Samantha had opted to have as little contact with the outside world as possible. She even had her doctor conduct the blood tests for antenatal care within her home.How was Wanda supposed to create the opportunity to get at Samantha now?"Samantha will visit the hospital for her first pregnancy check-up in a few days. I'll be accompanying her," Stefan said. Samantha needed a B-scan ultrasound done to look at the baby. In this way, Stefan intentionally divulged a way for Wanda to cause trouble."Is… Is that so? Then, it's better to prioritize your child. I won't get jealous," Wanda said."I knew you wouldn't. If you bore my child, I would cherish it much more than Samantha's. I wouldn't miss any of your pregnancy check-ups. You know this, Wanda. I would like for you to give birth to my heir. The baby's gender wouldn't even matter, as long as it's ours."Stefan placed g
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 612
"Alright then," Millie replied.Stefan had gotten injured because of her, and besides, she had promised to visit too. And since Stefan had personally asked, she decided to stay a little longer.Meanwhile outside, everything had quieted down. Millie assumed that Wanda had already left and thought nothing of it. But two hours later, when she stepped out, she was surprised to find Wanda still there.For once, Wanda seemed to know her place. Knowing that she had no status or title now, she didn't dare to throw a tantrum.If this were in the past, she would have already stirred up quite a scene at the hospital.Wanda shot Millie a venomous look, like a snake poised to strike. She looked as though she wanted nothing more than to sink her fangs into Millie and deliver a deadly dose of poison.Not long ago, Wanda still looked in the pink of health. But now, she was visibly thinner. No matter how good the supplements were, consuming so much of them would only end up wearing her body dow

The next day, Millie slept until the sun was high up in the sky. Yet, she still felt sleepy.She turned over and adjusted herself into a more comfortable position to continue sleeping. However, it was only for her to bump into a wall of flesh. Half-asleep, Millie instinctively reached out and felt around. The sensation was oddly satisfying.Millie did not think much of it. She had thought that it was only just a dream."This isn't fun," she murmured and tried to pull away.Unexpectedly, a strong and well-defined hand grasped hers, holding it firmly in place. "You get me all worked up, and now you're trying to escape, huh?"Millie suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from beside her. Her heart clenched, and she immediately realized that this wasn't just a dream. She quickly opened her eyes and met Pierce's intense gaze, filled with desire."We… We need to restrain ourselves," Millie muttered. "I'm at the peak of my youth. Why should I hold back? I should be indulging in

Pierce had been passive at first while Millie had her way with him. But now, he had turned the tables and was on top of her. He dominated their kiss, not giving Millie a chance to catch her breath. Millie felt as though the air in her lungs had been stolen, and her lips were numb and bruised too.Pierce was in the prime of his youth. Moreover, he had worked out regularly when he was a member of the police force. He had maintained this habit post-retirement, so his body was very fit.He had boundless energy but no outlet. As someone who was almost 30 years old, he had only done it once. Later on, he could only observe and wasn't able to participate due to various reasons. Hence, he had long since been driven to the brink.He didn't know if it would eventually be harmful to his health should he continue to hold back.Right now, Pierce felt that Millie's body was exceptionally delicate. It seemed as though her limbs would break from just a light squeeze.He extended his arm and tur

Millie became worried when she recalled the previous incident with Yulia.Just then, a girl timidly handed Pierce a bottle of water. "I-I can't unscrew the cap. Could you help me?" The girl bashfully peered at him. Her cheeks were flushed, but her gaze was bold and seductive.Millie wondered if young girls were so forward nowadays whenever they encountered someone they liked."I can help you open the bottle. But would you also believe that I could crack open your skull?" Pierce's expression was fierce and intimidating.The girl was so frightened that she nearly burst into tears. In her panic, she blindly ran away.Millie was amused as she observed the scene from the sidelines. After that, Pierce brought her along everywhere and didn't dare walk alone.It was then that things finally quieted down.Millie and Pierce leisurely cycled, taking in the natural beauty of the day. They were like a normal couple instead of Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson of Atkinson Group. They had been by themse
