But after getting married, he finally settled down.The loss of his eldest brother had shaken him to the core too.In the end, Bill kept his word to Henry that he would retake Atkinson Group, and he succeeded.As for the second son, David, who had murdered his brother years prior, Bill had banished him from Arbelton.He and his wife, Christy, had only ever had one son, Donald. But now, with rumors spreading about Pierce's death, Donald was pushing for his branch of the family to succeed the group.The candidate for succession was a boy of Pierce's generation. He was four years his junior.The entire family had funded his education, sending him abroad to study finance. Now, he had returned as a so-called elite.When Donald discussed succession with Bill, the old man was so infuriated that he became bedridden. So, Pierce's first stop was the retirement home to check on him."Grandpa,

"Lowell Atkinson is his illegitimate son. He's my brother from another mother!"At the next moment, Bill got so mad that he sprung to his feet. He had a strong urge to run after Donald and demand an explanation. However, he was held back by his good sense and sank back down on the couch in dejection. "H-How many people are aware of this?" In truth, Bill just wanted to know if Melissa was aware of this."Mom doesn't know about this, Grandpa. With that said, I don't mind making a fuss and telling everyone about it if he oversteps his boundaries."Bill pursed his lips. He wanted to say something, but he eventually held his tongue back. He shut his eyes and said in a dispirited tone, "Forget it. This is all bad karma. It was my fault for doing what I did back then."Melissa had had feelings for someone else all those years ago, but no one in the family supported her love life. Donald was the only heir to the Atkinson family. Meanwhile, Bill had made too many enemies in his life, an

Donald was a real class act too. He actually didn't lay a finger on Melissa for three long years. No ordinary person could've done something like this. It was solid proof that he actually had a deep respect and love for her.Be that as it may, Melissa eloped once more, and the whole city knew about it this time. Everyone made fun of Donald for getting cuckolded, and he couldn't take such a humiliation. He had shown more than enough concession for her, and yet she had given him nothing. Donald wanted to take revenge on Melissa, and he saw Pierce's mom, Rose Durham, as his way to do just that. Rose and Melissa were best friends. Naturally, she didn't have any fantasies about Donald. However, that didn't stop the heartless monster from ravaging her.The next day, Melissa caught Rose sleeping on her bed with her husband. Rose pleaded for Melissa to believe in her innocence. Regrettably, no amount of explanation could make Melissa believe her. Just like that, she was branded a

"Samantha is just an adoptive daughter, and yet you showed her the utmost care and affection. Why can't you be kinder to your own brother then? "Lowell is innocent. I'm the one who has done wrong by you. Why do you have to drag him into this?" Donald asked."As you wish, I'll settle my score with you then. I'll give Lowell a chance to make a name for himself if you take your own life as a way of apology," Pierce simply said."D-Did you just ask your own father to kill himself?""Hmm? What's wrong with that?" Pierce raised an eyebrow and glared at Donald with blood-chilling malice. "Y-You…" Donald was so infuriated that he couldn't form a coherent response. "If you can't bring yourself to do it, you have no one else to blame but yourself when I snuff out every opportunity that might fall in his path. Atkinson Group doesn't concern Lowell in the least, not even if I run it to the ground."I am the one in charge now!""Pierce Atkinson!" Donald was beside himself with rage. Pi

"Mr. Atkinson is still in a meeting. Please wait for him in the guest room, Mr. Leach. Give me a minute, and I'll brew you some tea."Millie was standing in front of the CEO's office when Stefan came out of one of the elevators. He had lost a lot of weight, and his face looked much paler. He also didn't expect to see Millie here. He clicked his tongue and said, "What a coincidence."Millie didn't respond. Instead, she straightaway opened the door and walked in as if he was just another stranger. Stefan's eyes darkened as he watched her disappear from his sight.However, Millie didn't let this bother her. After all, Atkinson Group and Leach Group were two of the biggest players in the city. It would be impossible for them to have zero business transactions with each other. For that matter, the Atkinsons and Leaches would never become actual enemies and let the other competitors take advantage of them. After all, collaboration was the key to consolidating one's standing in the b

Curiously, Millie wanted to have lunch at the cafeteria in Atkinson Group. "I didn't have anything for breakfast, and I'm starving. Let's go now." Millie relied on a wheelchair whenever she went outside. If she was in the Atkinson residence, she could still support herself on the railing or lean against the wall to walk. Now, Millie no longer felt pain in her rib area. She'd even be able to remove the metal plate after a certain period of recovery. Pierce wheeled her into the hallway, and both of them chatted happily. Occasionally, Millie would turn around and look at him, and her eyes would be sparkling every time she did.Meanwhile, Stefan was standing nearby. The sight of them was enough to shatter his heart. He didn't dare to tell anyone that he had remembered everything. After Wanda had reprimanded him in a huff, he'd gone home and had a high fever. When he eventually regained consciousness, his memories came flooding back as well. Stefan wished that he hadn't gotte

"It's fine. Millie likes it. If you like it and want to come here often, I'll have the kitchen upgrade their menu and create more dishes," Pierce said."Sure," Samantha replied.When the surrounding people heard this, tears welled in their eyes. After all, they would also benefit from this.Their food was going to become better since they ate the same food as Samantha!And what was Samantha blabbering about? What was so bad about eating this? Everyone else was enjoying their food!Those who once considered Samantha as adorable were now of a different opinion.Samantha hated it here. However, as Pierce was here, she did not feel like leaving. She repeatedly wiped her hands with a napkin and reluctantly sat down.Pierce and Millie were seated across from each other, while Samantha sat next to Pierce on purpose."Get me a set too, Pierce. You know what I like," she said."Your preference keeps changing. I don't remember anymore," Pierce simply replied.He then got up and sat dow

"What's your plan, then? They're definitely close. After all, she's been his adoptive sister for decades. Pierce also treats her like a real sister. Even if he keeps a distance from her after being with you, he'd still be concerned about her whenever she falls sick," Sharon said.Upon hearing this, Millie let out a long sigh.This was what troubled her the most.Moreover, she could not send Samantha away this time since the Atkinson family was the one who deliberately made her stay.Even if Millie were able to send Samantha back this time, she would only come back again. She might even start some trouble.It was not like she could force Samantha to get married off to someone. After all, marriage was a significant matter."I don't feel like going back tonight. I'll just stay here." Millie walked over to the sofa and laid down, pretending to be dead.She didn't answer any of Pierce's many calls. She had only sent him a text message telling him that she would be accompanying Sharon

Millie swiftly took some photos and handed the phone back to the guy."The photos you took look great, miss," one of them couldn't help but praise."Thanks for the compliment," Millie said with a smile.That person was so mesmerized that they stood there in a daze, unsure of what to do. Even when Millie had already walked away, he still hadn't snapped out of it."What's wrong? Do you like her?"Nathaniel Yates finally came to his senses. "N-No. Cut the nonsense. I just appreciate her photography skills."Meanwhile, Millie had gone over to sit by the water and noticed some fish in the lake. It reminded her of the last time she went fishing with Piercy. She was so lost in thought and didn't even notice that Nathaniel was secretly taking a photo of her from behind.He was using an instant camera, so the photo developed quickly.As Nathaniel stepped forward, Millie suddenly heard the noise behind her. She immediately turned around and saw an unfamiliar man, which startled her.

Millie quietly left the room so that Pierce could bid his gun a proper farewell. Then, she went downstairs for breakfast. However, breakfast felt tasteless.Pierce went downstairs after half an hour.Though he didn't have work that day, he dressed in formal attire to make the handover look more proper.The gun was wrapped in a paper bag. He casually set it aside as if nothing was wrong and began eating breakfast."It tastes delicious, you should try some," he casually uttered, serving Millie some food.Millie saw through Pierce's act but chose not to say anything.After that, Pierce remained silent the entire way to the CBP. The atmosphere in the car was heavy.Soon, they arrived at the police station, and Jason came out."Pierce…" Jason whispered, his voice slightly choked. He knew what it meant for Pierce to return the gun this time.Pierce looked at Jason's uniform and couldn't help but give him a firm pat on the shoulder. "Do your best. I have high hopes for you."Jas

Millie had once loved Stefan wholeheartedly, leaving herself no way out. But now, her love for Pierce was only six or seven on a scale of ten. She kept reminding herself that she shouldn't give anyone the chance to hurt her deeply again.Millie had even planned her retreat. If they broke up, she would be the one to walk away the most effortlessly.Once bitten, twice shy.Millie was well aware of her problems. Both she and Pierce had their fair share of flaws, and nobody was perfect. That was human nature."Pierce, you're way too extreme," Millie said."I know," Pierce answered.The most terrifying part was that he knew his flaws too well, yet he had no desire or intention to change.Pierce had suffered for his whole life. As an illegitimate child of the Atkinson family, he'd lost his mother at birth, and his father never loved him. The only place he ever felt a sense of belonging was with his grandfather. He was inherently a cold and unfeeling person, and the first time he bec

The call was quickly answered."Where are you?" Millie asked."I'm still on a business trip," Pierce replied."Then turn on the video. I want to see your face."There was a brief silence on the other end of the call. Millie knew Pierce was lying. "Are you still not willing to tell me the truth? Jason came to the house, asking to take back your gun. What's going on? What happened in the days you were away?""I'll tell you when I get back home." Pierce's voice was a bit muffled.He then hung up the call and removed the bandage from the corner of his eye.The wound was right beside his eyebrow. Since he had dark eyebrows, the scar shouldn't be that noticeable. He could only cling on to this wishful thinking.With that, Pierce returned to the villa.Millie hadn't seen him for days. She felt that he had lost a lot of weight and looked even more exhausted after the trip."How did you get injured again?" she asked.Pierce initially thought it would take her a long time to notic

Jacob eventually calmed down and said, "Do you still insist on doing this when you know it doesn't exactly benefit us?"Pierce replied, "I wouldn't dare to deceive you, neither do I dare to contact you in private. But this doesn't affect our operations, which was why I dared to do so. I want to find someone, but I can't no matter how hard I've tried, so I had no choice but to ask for their favor.""You… Are you still doing it even though we won't get anything good out of this?" Jacob asked.Pierce fell silent and clenched his fists. "Yes. I will resolve whatever problems I've caused. After that, I'll kill them in my own way."Jacob threw his cup at Pierce upon hearing this.With Pierce's skill, he could have dodged it. However, he chose to stand straight.The cup hit him right at the corner of his eye, causing him to bleed."You…" Jacob angrily stood up. "W-Why didn't you dodge?" he asked in a shaky voice."I did something wrong. It's right for you to punish me," Pierce simply

Gideon really admired Pierce's calm and composed demeanor."What's the matter?" he asked."I need you to help me find a lady who went missing. I have to know if she's still alive or not," Pierce answered. "I need her, dead or alive. I can't do this on my own, but with your help, it'll be much easier."He had used every legal method he could think of. But desperate times called for desperate measures, and there was only one option left—to enter the underworld."You're making such a big scene just to look for this one person? What? Is she like your lover or something?" Gideon asked."She's an enemy, the kind that I want dead more than anything."The way Pierce paused after each word made him sound eerily intimidating."Is she also like us, from the underworld?""No, she's just a nobody."Gideon felt chills running down his spine. Having dealt with Pierce for this long, he thought he knew his true nature well enough—a righteous police officer who always played by the book. But ri

Pierce felt like he was drowning, but if someone were to pull him out of the water right now, he would survive.Sometimes, Millie couldn't imagine what would happen if she left Pierce one day because of her disappointment in him. Would he still be able to move on?Pierce survived by clinging onto his sheer will. At first, it was the fixation on avenging his sister's death. But now, it was all because of Millie."What are you going to do now?" she asked."I can't tell you just yet, but I promise it won't take longer than three months."Since Pierce wasn't planning to elaborate, Millie didn't bother to keep on asking either.For the past few days, Millie had been carefully taking care of the wound on Pierce's neck. Even though a small patch of new pink flesh had grown over his wound, it still looked pretty hideous. Fortunately, Pierce always wore suits with collars that were high enough to cover his neck. Millie would always start tearing up whenever she saw his scar.She said,

Pierce was aghast. Mills! His poor Mills!Everyone around Pierce had accused him of committing a crime, but he didn't do it. He had been trying so hard to find out the truth, but in the end, he still got nothing.Did he really betray Millie? Did he really taint himself by sleeping with Sarah?Even if he truly believed that Piercy didn't do anything, he still couldn't find any evidence to prove it.Sarah and Piercy were nowhere to be found either.How was he supposed to prove his innocence? He felt like a trapped beast that couldn't find its way out.Just then, Millie made a subtle twitch. It startled Pierce, and he immediately withdrew his arm around her and pretended to remain unconscious.Millie didn't sleep well at all. The first thing she did after waking up was to check on Pierce. The monitor showed that Pierce's heart was racing.She then brought out a warm towel and gently wiped his face.She began, "Your hair has grown so much longer, but you didn't even properly

Millie rushed forward and saw the disconcerting look in Pierce's eyes.Pierce hadn't rested for two days, so his nerves were stretched to their absolute limit. His eyes were completely bloodshot too.The moment he saw Millie, he grabbed her like he was a drowning man who finally got his hands on a life buoy. His large hands clamped down on her arm with such force that it felt like he was going to crush her bones.Pierce howled, "Tell him to come out, please! He listens to you. Ask him to come out, Millie. I don't care if he takes over this body. I just need him to tell me the truth! Did I betray you? Did I mess around with another woman? I'm begging you…""Pierce, calm down please." Millie tried to soothe him."How can I calm down? I want to be with you, but if I really did betray you, then at least let me die knowing the truth! What am I supposed to do now? How long does he plan to torture me?"Pierce shoved Millie aside, frantically searching around the room. He even lunged at
