"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

"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 let out a deep breath. She then straightened her back and looked up. Without flinching the slightest, she met Emily's and Mateo's gazes. "Considering that you raised me, I'll take this slap and let it slide. But if you try to hit me again from now on, I won't just let it be," she warned."Who do you think you're talking to? I'm your mother! Is this how you speak to me?" Emily questioned in a livid tone. "Why can't I hit you? I gave birth to you. I could beat you to death if I wanted to!" Emily was infuriated at being talked back to by her own daughter. She thought that such a scenario was insulting, and her anger boiled over. So, she raised her hand to slap Millie again.But this time, Millie didn't stand still and take it. Instead, she grabbed Emily's wrist and held on tight. She firmly stated, "I told you that you can't hit me again. I've already repaid not just Stefan's so-called kindness but also your debt for raising me. Three years ago, I paid it all back in full!

Millie gently closed the box.Suddenly, a single tear slipped down, landing silently on the surface. Only then did Millie realize that she had been crying. She wasn't sure if she was mourning the love she once had or if her tears were for something else entirely.No wonder Pierce had told her to look at it in private. He didn't want to see her shedding tears for another man."It's all in the past. Why send this now?" Millie murmured.She wiped away her tears and picked up her phone. "Tobias, do me a favor. Auction something for me. Donate every last cent of the proceeds to charity. Not a single penny should be kept."She then ended the call and looked at the small box again. At least this way, it would be put to good use…Afterward, Millie headed to the study to check on Pierce. He watched her closely, his deep eyes unreadable.Millie pretended not to notice and said, "You keep working. I'm just going to sketch for a while."Pierce pressed his lips together as if he wante

Millie followed Pierce back home. As she stepped into the familiar space that belonged to just the two of them, her heart felt heavy with emotions.It had been two months since she had last been here, yet everything remained unchanged. Even the wardrobe had been stocked with new seasonal outfits.In those two months, Millie had lost a lot of weight. So, Pierce instructed the kitchen to prepare nourishing meals for her. He was determined to bring her back to full health.Pierce remained bedridden for another half month before he could finally use a cane to walk around a bit. His right leg was still severely injured, and every step sent searing pain through his body, making his face go pale and his forehead damp with cold sweat.Millie couldn't bear to watch him suffer and urged him to rest. But Pierce was stubborn and walked until his legs trembled, and he could no longer stand. Only then would he sit down."Does it hurt?" Millie worriedly asked."It doesn't. I just need to pr
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 654
With that, Millie turned around and left without hesitation. But just as she was about to step out of the room, Stefan's voice called out behind her once more, "Millie, I owe you an apology for everything. I never really said it before. It's late… but at least I'm finally saying it. "Millie, I'm sorry. I was the one in the wrong." Stefan's voice was soft, weakened by his injuries. It sounded as though those few words had drained all the strength from his body.Millie's body stiffened, and her hands were tightly clenched into fists at her sides.Stefan was apologizing at long last.Millie wanted to turn around to see if he was truly sincere or if this was just another one of his manipulations. However, she held herself back. Unimportant people didn't deserve even a second glance.Millie didn't say anything. She didn't say whether she would or would not forgive him. She just walked away.Stefan's face turned even paler. He knew that after everything he had done, he would never

Millie didn't want to see Pierce struggling alone, bottling up all his pain like a wounded lion licking its wounds in solitude.Upon hearing her words, Pierce simply tightened his embrace around her. "Mills… I'm scared…""I know. I understand," Millie whispered, gently patting his back."I'm afraid I won't be able to lift you anymore, and I'm afraid I won't be able to run or jump. I'm scared I won't be able to fight the bad guys and protect you anymore." Pierce's voice was soft and barely above a whisper. His sorrow was almost imperceptible, but it could be because he still hadn't fully released his emotions.Millie started, "You still have me. If you can't carry me, then don't. If you can't run fast or jump high, then I'll slow down and walk beside you. I can be your crutch and your support for a lifetime, okay?"And listen, Pierce, you may not be able to fight on the front lines anymore, but you're still there in spirit. We can move to the back lines to provide funding and strat

Pierce didn't tell Millie everything—such as the fact that Stefan had initially wanted to kill him. He spared Stefan some dignity, not wanting Millie to hate him forever.Millie stayed in the hospital to care for Pierce for two days when there was finally a change in Stefan's condition.Before he even regained consciousness, he was already calling her name. Robin anxiously rushed in to find Millie, and she hurried over."The patient's wound has gotten infected, leading to complications. We need to start emergency treatment immediately!""How could this have happened? Wasn't he supposed to wake up?" Robin was beside himself with worry."Millie… Millie…" Even in his fevered delirium, Stefan kept murmuring her name.Millie went over to him. His hand, which had been weakly grasping at the air, finally caught hold of something—her fingers. He clung to her tightly."I'm here, Stefan," she softly uttered.It was as if her words held some kind of magic, as Stefan immediately calmed d

Every word Pierce spoke was firm and impactful. Each word hammered on Stefan's heart mercilessly.Pierce owned up to his mistakes. But what about him? Could he do the same?All this while, he had been shifting the blame to everyone else. He blamed Pierce for stealing Millie away. Then, he blamed Millie for not forgiving him. He even blamed Wanda for seducing him, and the list went on…He had blamed so many people, holding onto their faults while conveniently brushing aside his own. When it came to himself, he always found a way to justify his actions. He completely ignored that he was the true cause of everything.Stefan's grip on Pierce's collar loosened. He took a few steps back in a daze and stumbled on his own feet, causing him to nearly fall to the ground."Those criminals… They're planning to strike again. I agreed to help them," Stefan said."Why are you telling me this?" Pierce responded."She said… She said that if you died, she wouldn't live either." Stefan's voice was

Millie gave Pierce a profound look that contained a myriad of emotions. Pierce could have been selfish and not tell her any of Stefan's good deeds. He could've even stopped her from visiting Stefan. Yet, he didn't do that.After giving Pierce one heavy nod, Millie went over to the adjacent hospital room.Stefan was seriously injured too. His health wasn't as good as Pierce's to begin with, so he still hadn't woken up yet.Robin was in his room, sitting beside him. He kept silently wiping away tears at one side."This is my only nephew. If anything were to happen to him, how would I face his late parents?" Robin mournfully said."Does Grandma know about this?" Millie inquired."I don't have the heart to tell Mom about this. She's old and frail. I don't want her to have a breakdown," Robin replied."I'll keep him company, Robin," Millie said.Robin hesitated for a moment and ultimately nodded. He believed that Stefan would want to see Millie upon waking up. So, Millie staye

"Don't move around. You're still very weak. The doctor said to give you some oatmeal porridge when you wake up. Your digestive system is still quite weak, so you need to eat something that goes down easily."A familiar voice sounded in Millie's ears."G-Grandpa? Why are you here? Where's Pierce? Pierce? Pierce…" After a moment of silence, Millie mumbled, "I forgot… Pierce is dead. Not even his body remains.""What nonsense are you speaking, child? Isn't he lying right beside you?" Bill interjected.Millie visibly froze for a second. Then, she whipped her head around to look. As Bill had said, Pierce was indeed right beside her. Layers of gauze were wrapped around his body, and he seemed to be heavily injured. However, his vital signs were steady, and his heartbeat was rhythmic—he was no longer in a critical condition."Pierce…" Millie tumbled out of bed without a care for the pain in her limbs.Bill quickly went over to support her and combined their beds together."H-How is t
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 648
Millie broke down emotionally. She was done with Stefan's constant self-righteous justification. He always blamed everyone else and deemed himself free of any wrongdoing. He acted as if the whole world had wronged him, while he had never wronged anyone.He painted himself as the pitiful and innocent victim, twisting logic to justify everything he did.Millie was done acting her part. She would let things play out however they should. There was no longer anything tying her to this world. If anything happened to Pierce, she wouldn't live either. Just the thought of being imprisoned by Stefan for three years was worse than death.And so, she locked herself in her room and refused to come out. Every day, the housekeepers delivered her meals. She had no appetite but still ate well.Millie also no longer cared whether Stefan had drugged her food or not. If she turned into a mindless lunatic, maybe that would be better than this painful clarity.…Days passed one after another.One
