Isabella patted Millie on the shoulder. "It's okay, he's out of our league, so let's not dream of winning his heart. Just getting to spend a night with him is a win."By the way, can I add you on WhatsApp? I'm in a group where we're all trying to get involved with… I mean, we all admire Mr. Atkinson there. We can share our experiences in the group."Millie felt that since she had to part with 50 thousand dollars anyway, it would be a huge loss if she didn't join the group and learn from the experiences there.So, she decisively joined the group.To her surprise, someone in the group had already nicknamed her "The 109th Fan Mr. Atkinson Rejected".She didn't expect Pierce to have rejected so many women already.But this wasn't the time to be delving into details. She had a score to settle with Pierce.Opening the door and entering the office, Millie questioned angrily, "Why did you drive me out?""I didn't want to fake it."Pierce crossed his arms as he leaned lazily against th

Millie was close to tears. She felt extremely indignant.Pierce didn't dare continue. He feared that he wouldn't be able to control his wild thoughts.He blamed it on Millie for having a youthful and beautiful body, which was filled with allure.He let go of Millie, who kept backing away. She even had a weird gait as she walked.She bit her lip, her eyes reddening a little. It made Pierce look like he had done something unforgivable."If you say that again, you'll regret it."Millie angrily turned around to leave, but he called out to her, stopping her."Take this."Pierce opened a bedside drawer and retrieved a box from within."Here, the emerald necklace your grandmother gave you.""The emerald necklace?"Millie couldn't be bothered with anything else. She hastily opened the box and peered in to see only half of the pendant attached to the necklace. The pendant was inlaid with gold, and the broken edges were smoothed out as well. There was also a carving of a little rabbit

Pierce should have behaved like that as well. After all, phones were the most private possessions people could have these days. Wasn't Pierce wary of Millie at all?"So… I'll take a look, then?""Sure."Pierce sounded nonchalant enough. Unable to suppress her curiosity, Millie unlocked his phone and took a look.Pierce had a contact on WhatsApp under the name "Sammy", and this contact was the one who had been sending him messages just now.When Millie tapped in, she saw several photos of a young lady in various clothes. The lady seemed to be trying them on.The lady looked nice in every photo. She seemed adorable and friendly, and she looked just like an exquisite porcelain doll.She didn't look much like Pierce. One of them must have taken after their father while the other took after their mother."Pierce, help me choose. Which one looks best on me?"Millie thought about it for a moment. The young lady had fair skin, so the purple dress complemented her very well. She would

Just then, someone suddenly opened the door to the lounge."Pierce, we have an emergency! A hacker breached the firewall and is trying to—"Tobias froze in bewilderment.Did he come in at the wrong time?"Sorry, I never saw anything!"Tobias slammed the door shut.Pierce was standing with his back to Tobias just now, and Millie was kneeling on the floor. Judging by the height…Tobias didn't think that Pierce would be capable of such things. Pierce had always been a serious person, and he was even sleeping in separate beds from Millie. Surprisingly… Pierce could be quite bold.Millie wished that she could just disappear into thin air.People would try to look busy when they felt awkward, and Millie was no exception.Pierce asked as he looked down at Millie, "What are you doing?""Um, shoelaces! I'm tying my shoelaces.""You're wearing slippers. There are no shoelaces to tie.""Huh? Really? I mean, I haven't measured your legs. I'll be done as soon as possible so that you ca

Millie felt something wet on her lips as if something was nibbling on her.She felt like someone was savoring and relishing her lips, treating her lips like their favorite toy. The person couldn't bear to bite in case it hurt her, but they couldn't bring themselves to let go, either."Mm…"Millie couldn't help but mumble a little.Then, the sensation disappeared completely. Millie wondered if she was just dreaming. She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids seemed to weigh a ton. She couldn't open her eyes at all.The night crawled on.When Millie woke up, Pierce was nowhere to be found in the office.After Millie washed up, she went out only to see a woman in secretary attire."You're awake. I'll get you breakfast."Soon, breakfast was served."Where's Pierce?""Mr. Atkinson is in a meeting, and it'll end at around 11:00 am. He said that you could do as you please. You're free to stay for lunch or leave right away.""Tell him that I'm going to work in the studio, then."

Millie replied, "It was a thousand dollars just now, wasn't it?""That's in the past now. It has nothing to do with the present! Are you interested or not?"Millie stared intently at the censored photo. Gritting her teeth, she replied, "Fine, five thousand dollars it is. You'd better guarantee that it's worth the money."Isabella didn't reply, so Millie immediately sensed that something was off. This might very well be fake advertising.Still, thanks to her curiosity, Millie gave Isabella the five thousand dollars. Soon, she received the uncensored version.Sure enough, it was fake advertising!Pierce's strong upper body was exposed to the air. Drops of sweat were rolling down his muscles, and his Adam's apple was well-defined.However, he was wearing pants that covered the lower half of his body!The photo seemed to be taken without Pierce's knowledge. Pierce usually had an unapproachable air to him, but in these photos, he was exposing either his abs or his shoulders, so he l
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 61
As if Millie had thrown two bombs into the ocean, the originally quiet group was instantly in an uproar."Damn, that's really high definition! Where did you get these from?""Is this a secret shot? Why do I feel like this was taken up close? 109, who exactly are you?""Do you have more? I can't get enough of them!"To avoid suspicion, Millie came up with a random excuse."I got it from someone at a high price, but I don't know who they are, either. If you want more, you can buy them from me."Someone immediately sent Millie a private message.Millie was quite smart. She told the group members that they should label it as a gift instead of a purchase when setting up the transaction. If not, it would be an illegal business.However, she was also infringing on Pierce's right of publicity. Still, Millie felt that Pierce probably wouldn't sue her.Isabella couldn't hold it in anymore."I need those photos! A thousand dollars, right?""Sorry, I'm charging you ten thousand dollars
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 62
Millie's mind went blank. Soon, she came to her senses and said, "Can you please keep it a secret for him? He doesn't know about this. Can I have my parents pick me up instead?""Sorry, but I've already called him. He's on his way now, and he'll be here at any minute."Millie could hide her marriage with Pierce from the public, but she couldn't hide it from the police department's social network database. The name of her partner was displayed as clear as day: Pierce Atkinson.When Millie heard that, she wished she could just disappear."Where's Millie?"Just then, Millie heard a familiar voice outside. The voice was low, and its owner sounded like he was suppressing his fury."Over here, Pierce."The police officer shouted.Millie froze. Did they know each other?Pierce entered the room with a foul look on his face. His dark gaze fell upon Millie."Pierce, look at these photos of you! They're quite good."The police officer smiled as he waved the photos in front of Pierce. M

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

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
