Millie finished the wine in one go."Let's go over there."Putting an arm around Millie's waist, Pierce led her away.The ship sailed for another hour or so before they finally reached the island.Everyone shared the cake, which was several feet tall. Then, they presented the birthday gifts.Millie felt like her horizons were broadened. The birthday banquet went on until midnight before it finally came to an end.Pierce still had matters to deal with, so Millie went back to their room to rest.Millie was about to close the door when a large hand suddenly gripped the edge of the door.Millie was startled. Then, she watched as Stefan squeezed in through the gap.She immediately frowned."What are you doing? What if someone sees you?""What were you and Pierce doing in the room?"Stefan asked slowly.Millie couldn't help but laugh. She thought that Stefan had turned over a new leaf, but as it turned out, he hadn't."I'm his partner, and we're even going to sleep together ton

Stefan was at a loss for words. He felt his anger bubbling within him with nowhere to go."Pierce, are you turning against me for a mere woman?"With a cold look on his face, he straightened his back. He refused to be intimidated."Remember, our families have very close connections, and we have numerous partnerships in business. It's not worth it to abandon all that for the sake of a woman, let alone a woman who would make use of everything to survive."Did you know that she surrendered herself to her kidnappers just to stay alive? Your parents wouldn't allow a dirty woman like that to be married into the family.""That's my business. Don't worry about it.""Alright, then." Stefan smiled despite his fury. He gave Pierce a sullen look. "I'll just stand by and watch, then!"The two parted ways in a foul mood. Stefan got up straight away and walked off.On his way back, Pierce noticed a message Millie sent to him a dozen minutes ago."The moon looks beautiful tonight. I'm off to

Millie's eyelashes gently brushed against Pierce's palm."Don't look.""Is she… dead?"Millie's voice trembled as she spoke, and her whole body stiffened.It was quite traumatic for her to see a dead person right before her eyes."Walk ahead and don't look back.""What about…""We don't have to do anything about this. I'm not the police. Someone will be here."Pierce only wanted to take Millie back.After returning to the room, Pierce was still a little worried. After making sure multiple times that she was unharmed, he finally let out a sigh of relief."Why would you go near the sea at night? Don't you know how worrisome that is?"Pierce returned to his senses and began reprimanding her.He looked so fierce that his expression could frighten Millie to tears.But when Millie remembered that Pierce was just concerned about her safety, she wasn't scared anymore."So, you didn't want me to die?""I don't care… whether you die or not. But I need you to trick Grandpa with me.

"Are you that curious about it?"Pierce suddenly had a cold air about him.Millie felt like she was falsely accused. She was just asking a question. She wasn't committing a crime or anything!"Stefan told me to stay away from you. He said that you're seducing me just to get on his nerves, so I mustn't allow myself to be used by you. Say, should I let you take advantage of me?"Pierce suddenly got closer to her. Startled, Millie reeled backward.Pierce grabbed her waist."If I were you, I would've done everything to gain my favor. I would've made sure that I'm hopelessly in love with you and want no one in the world but you. Then, when you bring me along to show off to Stefan, those two will get so pissed.""I… I can't possibly do that.""If you don't try, you'll never know. Why don't you seriously seduce me first and see if I'd take the bait?"His words were just too suggestive.Seduce…That was an extremely embarrassing word too."I might be easy to bait, you know."He le

Millie wanted to wave and go after Pierce, but unexpectedly, her phone rang again. This time, she didn't decline the call from Agnes.Before Millie could say anything, Agnes spoke enthusiastically. "Millie, where have you gone to? Why aren't you home? Hurry and come visit me. I miss you so much. I brought you gifts too…""I'm sorry, Mrs. Leach Senior. I've broken up with Stefan, so I don't think I should meet you again.""Broken up? Have I agreed to it? If I haven't, then it doesn't count. I've already called that brat and told him to come over, so you come over as well. If you don't come, I'll kill myself."Millie was a little exasperated. Would the elderly always become more childlike as they age?Millie arrived earlier than Stefan did.Agnes only had silver hair on her head. She also had physical problems, so she was sitting in a wheelchair.Agnes was elated when she saw Millie. She held Millie's hand, reluctant to let go."Don't worry. You have me defending you, so no one w

Agnes and Stefan were still arguing when a sudden thud rang out.Wanda had fainted.She had staggered for a bit before falling onto the floor.Stefan immediately stepped forward and carried her in his arms. He didn't bother about whatever his grandmother said as he carried Wanda away."That wench has some decent tricks up her sleeve. No wonder Stefan would be fooled by her. Millie, you're just too tough sometimes. You have to pretend to be weak every now and then so that men will want to protect you."Millie put on a bitter smile when she heard that. That was something she could never learn to do.In terms of winning a man's heart, Millie had to admit that Wanda was indeed impressive.…Wanda was taken to the hospital. According to the diagnosis, there wasn't anything wrong with her. Stefan refused to believe that."Then why would she faint? Even now, she hasn't regained consciousness. Are you quacks or something?"The doctor had no choice but to patiently ask more questions.

"You're quite good at making the elderly happy, huh? Now that Mrs. Leach Senior is backing you, are you regretting getting married to me now? You must be so happy now, aren't you?"Millie frowned. What was going on with Pierce?"So, you want me to return to the Leach family?"She returned the question."If you behave like that, I'd assume that you don't welcome me here. If you want me to leave, you could've just told me straight out."Millie didn't go upstairs. Instead, she turned around to leave. Unable to stay still anymore, Pierce grabbed Millie's hand and pinned her onto the couch.He had an extremely gloomy and terrifying air about him. He looked just like a demon from hell.His fingers tightened around her neck as he said viciously, "Millie, how could you just come and go as you please? What do you take me for? Sure, go ahead and try walking out that door. Let's see if I break your legs or not!"Pierce had finally stopped pretending. Millie felt a little better when he wa

"You…" Pierce was furious. "How would you know if you don't at least try? Millie, all investments come with risks. You don't even dare to make assessments, but you're talking about seducing me already?"Millie felt a little awkward as well. She was quite adept at giving up."I'm tired today, so I'll seduce you some other time. I just want to go upstairs and catch some sleep.""You…"Thanks to Millie, Pierce felt like he had just gone on a roller coaster of emotions. But Millie herself didn't seem particularly bothered by that. She was only concerned about getting sleep."Fine, just go… Hurry up. You're being an eyesore."Pierce was a little annoyed.Millie returned to her room. She should have been extremely sleepy, but her mind was racing with thoughts.After thinking for a moment, she sent a message to Sharon."How do you win a man's heart? How do you seduce him with a higher chance of success?"Sharon's call immediately came in."What happened, Millie? Which man are you t

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
