Samantha thought that perhaps it would be better if she had her own child. Then, at least, her child would be the future heir of the Leach family. After all, without a child, her position as Mrs. Leach would always be unstable.Samantha felt torn. Loving Pierce was important, but so were status, power, money, and influence. Without these external factors, she wouldn't be able to love him on equal footing. So, she had to start planning for her own future.Three days later, Stefan finally returned.Samantha had barely eaten or slept during those days.As soon as Stefan stepped through the door, a maid rushed up to him. As instructed by Samantha, she said in an anxious voice, "You're finally back, Mr. Leach. Mrs. Leach is severely ill! Please go take a look at her!""I'll go check on her," Stefan replied.He then entered Samantha's room and saw her lying in bed with her eyes tightly shut. "How did you suddenly fall ill?" Stefan asked while reaching out to touch her forehead. How

Samantha had no choice but to stop and usher the elderly couple into a car to prevent them from making a fuss in public and attracting attention.She was, after all, the highly respected Mrs. Leach now.The elderly couple continued crying as they recounted how difficult life had been for them back then. They kept saying that they were forced to abandon her due to the dire circumstances they'd been in. They then claimed that they had always planned to take her back once their situation improved. However, by the time they went back to the orphanage, she had already been adopted.They spoke about their deep parental love for her and how they'd been searching for her for years. They insisted that fate had finally brought their family back together."Betty, seeing how well you're doing now puts our hearts at ease."Betty… Just hearing that name made Samantha's scalp tingle."My name is not Betty. I'm Samantha Atkinson. Keep that in mind," Samantha coldly said. "You can stay here f

Millie began to decline his invitation to coffee. "Sorry, I'm very busy—""Can't you have one cup of coffee with me out of gratitude for my saving you the last time?" Stefan asked somewhat dejectedly.Millie stopped in her tracks. She did owe him a proper thank-you. She responded, "Alright."So, the two of them went downstairs and sat in a café."Thank you for what you did last time," Millie said."Don't mention it," Stefan mumbled, feeling awkward.He had been so composed and confident when dealing with everyone else these days. But when he was face-to-face with Millie, he was so nervous that he didn't even know where to place his hands.He tried to break the ice. "You should try the house specialty. They have strawberry cake. You're fond of that, aren't you?""No, I haven't been in the mood for anything too sweet lately," Millie coolly replied.Stefan's chest tightened at her words. His guess was that she didn't want to eat the cake with him."I saw your text but forgot t

Pierce had originally kept tabs on Samantha's parents to protect her. He'd feared that they might show up one day and harass her. But now, his previous efforts had come in handy.Killing someone was easy—destroying or crushing their spirit was much harder.Millie could already imagine how much torment and agony Samantha was going through. This was probably worse than death for her. How could Pierce be so heartless and ruthless?"When did he tell you to do this?" Millie asked."Right after he met with Samantha," Tobias answered."Samantha?" Millie frowned at the mention of that name. "I have something to do. I'll hang up now. Don't tell Pierce about this yet.""Okay." With that, Tobias hung up.Millie went straight to find Samantha, who was now in a state of near mental breakdown.When she heard that Millie had come looking for her, she refused to leave her room. But Millie barged in anyway.She'd once lived in Leach Manor for three years. The maids and bodyguards there had f

"Are you busy? Why aren't you answering your phone?" Pierce's voice came from the other end."My phone was on silent, so I didn't notice it ringing just now. What's wrong?" Millie tried to respond in a steady tone."I'm leaving work early tonight. Let's go out for dinner.""I'm not feeling well today…" Millie instinctively declined."You're not feeling well? What's wrong?" The voice on the other end sounded anxious, causing Millie to be taken aback for a moment.Who was worried about her? Was it Pierce, or was it the master of deception, Piercy?Millie insisted that it was nothing serious, but he still insisted on coming to get her.Left with no choice, she waited for him by the roadside.When Millie got into the car, Pierce couldn't help but lecture her. "How did you suddenly fall ill? Have you been too exhausted from taking care of me these past few days? If you're not feeling well, you shouldn't be running around. Stay home and rest.""You weren't this naggy in the past," M

"Let go of me!" Millie shouted and angrily glared at Piercy.In response, Piercy coldly asked, "Where did I slip up? How did you figure it out?"It wasn't like he enjoyed pretending to be someone else. This just happened to be the only way to fool Millie into treating him sincerely. He had been prepared to maintain the disguise for a lifetime. Why did she have to discover the truth so soon?"Don't you know what you did to Samantha?" Millie countered."Oh, you've found out about that?" Piercy hadn't expected that to be what exposed him.He went on a tirade. "Samantha tried to harm you time and time again. She even arranged for traffickers to abduct you. She deserved to die for doing that! Pierce hesitated because of their 20 years of sibling ties, but I had no such bonds with her."He's ruthless to his enemies. But when it comes to those who are close to him, he goes soft and hesitates. It's annoying, to be honest. He couldn't bring himself to do it, so I did it for him. I did it

"Who are you?" Millie asked, furrowing her brow."Mr. Atkinson invited me here," the woman named Sarah Hall proudly answered.Rumors had been going around about how Millie and Pierce were very in love with each other. They even remarried after getting divorced. But now, it looked like that wasn't the case at all. If they really felt so strongly for each other, why would Pierce have invited her over?"Get out!" Millie angrily exclaimed."I don't take orders from you. I only listen to Mr. Atkinson," Sarah replied."Throw her out!" Millie immediately ordered, but no one responded. Instead, the housekeepers and bodyguards all looked at her with disdain. They only obeyed Pierce. He was the one who paid their salaries, after all.In her anger, Millie felt faint. She tightly clenched her fists, and though her fingernails dug into her palms, she couldn't feel the pain."Fine. If you all won't take action, then I'll do it myself." Millie angrily grabbed Sarah and began dragging her out

"Is something the matter, Mr. Atkinson?" Sarah's confused voice came from inside the room."It's nothing. You worked hard just now, so just stay on the bed and rest." Piercy closed the door. Then, he shoved Millie aside and headed toward their master bedroom.Belatedly, Millie realized what Piercy was doing. However, by the time she managed to rush after Piercy, it was too late—she found him exiting their walk-in wardrobe, holding one of her pajama sets."You're giving her my clothes?" Millie asked, incredulous."Why not?" Piercy retorted."You can't! Put it down! Don't sully my clothes!" Millie was emotionally distraught. She wanted to snatch her clothes back, but Piercy raised his arm and held her pajamas high above her reach."Give them back! Don't take my clothes! I don't want them to be sullied!" Tears welled up in Millie's eyes. Her clothes were right in front of her, yet she couldn't get them back. The person in front of her looked just like Pierce. Yet, he was behaving

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

Samantha looked at Stefan in disbelief. "You still have feelings for Millie… Is that what you're saying?""What else? Do you expect me to have feelings for you? As long as you stay in your place, I won't make things too difficult for you. But don't overestimate yourself," Stefan sternly warned."You… You weren't like this before! I'll abort this child and make you regret it for the rest of your life! I'll really do it—try me!" Samantha cried.Stefan didn't bother mincing his words. "Do you think you can threaten me? There are plenty of women who want to have my child. Who do you think you are? If you don't give birth, Wanda will probably be thrilled. "The Atkinson family doesn't want you anymore. So, you're no longer some rich heiress. You're just Betty Miller now. If you leave me, who else can you rely on?"Ever since Samantha got pregnant, Stefan's goal had already been achieved. He didn't even care about his own child. He was happy to let Samantha and Wanda fight to the death,

For the next two days, Millie still didn't see Pierce.During that time, she continued visiting the hospital every other day to check on Stefan's condition. There were signs of improvement, but because of the sulfuric acid burns and the severity of the wounds, recovery would not be a quick process.Since they didn't have much to talk about, Millie simply read to him to help pass the time."I'll come back the day after tomorrow," she softly said, setting the book down.Stefan nodded, unsure whether he should keep holding on or let her go for good.Just as Millie reached the door, he couldn't help but call out to her again, "Do you regret it?""Regret what?" Millie turned back to look at him."Regret… being with me."Millie replied, "I do. But people don't have the ability to see the future. So, some mistakes are worth experiencing because at the very least, they teach us lessons. "I've learned to approach love with more clarity now. I will love myself first before loving any

Stefan said, "I'll take good care of myself…" Then, he suddenly started coughing. At this point, he couldn't tell whether the pain in his body was worse or if his heart hurt more.Millie panicked. If Stefan's condition worsened, how would she explain things to Agnes? So, she quickly got Stefan a glass of water and helped him take a sip. Only then did he finally manage to catch his breath.Millie felt completely useless sitting there. No matter what they talked about, it felt inappropriate. Her presence might even be making things harder for him."How about I turn on the TV for you? It'll help pass the time." Millie suggested."You don't need to do anything. Just stay here with me quietly," Stefan said."Alright then." So, Millie picked up a book and began reading to him.Her voice was as sweet as a songbird's. However, Stefan couldn't focus on anything she was reading—the only thing he saw was her delicate face.Time ticked by slowly.Meanwhile, Pierce stood outside the
