I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 72
After William left, Millie quickly came downstairs."What did you two talk about? Are you okay? You don't look well," Millie asked with concern.To her surprise, Pierce suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace. She could feel his body trembling slightly, as if he were deeply shaken by something."A-Are you alright?"She tried to pull away to see his face, but his hoarse voice whispered in her ear, "Don't move. Just let me hold you."Millie froze at his words and didn't dare move again.After hesitating for a long moment, she gently placed her hands on his back, trying to soothe him. He was holding her so tightly that it hurt, but she didn't complain.As the seconds ticked by, he finally released her."It's nothing. I'll take you to the nursing home in a bit. You can stay with Grandpa for a while. I have some things I need to take care of.""Is it William?""Millie, I want to lie to you, but I can't. I'm afraid you'll lower your guard and won't be cautious around him. He's the

"The best way now is to find a reason to detain him and investigate slowly. Are his passports and other documents all in order?" Jason asked."There's nothing we can exploit." Thomas was a seasoned detective skilled in handling cases.Being a customs officer was inherently dangerous, making it crucial to stay under the radar. Pierce had no intention of involving his old comrades.Thomas' and Jason's families were both in Arbelton, where Pierce had the means to provide protection."Wait, I think I might have an idea. Pierce, didn't you rescue a victim from that ship? Let William know that this victim tipped you off, hence why you could act so quickly. According to their rules, they'll need to catch and kill that person to avenge their fallen comrades."Pierce, you could find that person and then leak the information. William sure has a lot of guys under him to make him rise to this level. If he wants to maintain his authority, even if he doesn't want to take action, someone will pu

"Millie, are you listening?" Thomas asked, noticing Millie's silence after he finished speaking.It took Millie a while to come back to her senses. She gripped her phone tightly. Her palm was drenched in cold sweat."Yes… I'm listening. I'll talk to Pierce. I understand your point. Sacrificing one person could save many others.""It's not about sacrifice. We ensure the bait's safety through proper measures. In special circumstances, we handle things differently. William is not just any smuggler, and both Pierce and I are retired professionals. Sometimes, unconventional methods are necessary.""I understand. I'll talk to him.""You're always so understanding, Millie. Thank you."As soon as the call ended, Millie leaned against the wall, feeling weak.She didn't want to be used as bait. She didn't want to go through another terrifying experience. Despite their protection, she was scared. What if something went wrong and they couldn't protect her?She even had a fleeting thought o

"Why'd you call me over so urgently? Do we have a new plan?" Jason asked, his face full of confusion.Suddenly, Pierce threw a punch at him, leaving Jason with a bruised nose."What the hell?" Thomas jumped in and quickly pulled Pierce back.Jason, now on the ground, was just as confused. "What's gotten into you, Pierce?""Why did you tell Millie?""Millie? Millie knows? How could she? I didn't tell her." Jason was stunned. His confusion quickly turned to panic."If not you, then who?""You can't blame Jason for this. Millie called me, and I mentioned it casually, asking her to talk to you. So, have you agreed? Where's the victim? Have you explained everything to her? Is she willing to cooperate?" Thomas asked with an eager expression.At this, both Pierce's and Jason's expressions turned grim.Pierce clenched his fists so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands bulged, as if he were just moments away from landing another punch—this time on Thomas.But eventually, his

After their discussion, Thomas and Jason left. Thomas' gaze toward Millie was apologetic.Millie knew how much they valued Pierce. If they had known she was the victim, they never would have done such a thing.This was entirely an accident, indicating that it was meant to be her fate.After they left, the room fell into an eerie silence, with the weight of their breaths almost palpable.Pierce wrapped his arms tightly around Millie from behind. "I know sacrifices are inevitable. I'm prepared to make one if necessary, but I don't want you to be involved."He couldn't bear to think of a day when Millie might have to sacrifice herself too."What, are you giving me special treatment?" Millie turned to face him, her eyes twinkling with a gentle smile.She tried to sound light-hearted to comfort him, though her tightly clenched fists betrayed her inner anxiety."Pierce, we're doing the right thing, so let's not worry about anything else."Pierce remained silent. His expression was g

Millie was feeling a bit weary, so she sat on the edge of the pool.Suddenly, she heard faint footsteps approaching from behind her. Her heart raced. Had William come to find her now that she was alone?She was now the one responsible for the deaths of many of William's men. As the leader, he had to deal with her to maintain his authority, even if it meant taking risks.In their world, even the most ruthless criminals valued loyalty. A leader had to demonstrate care for their men to ensure their obedience.She lowered her voice and asked, "Jason, is William here?""The surveillance in the backyard has been tampered with. We can't see anything right now!"Millie's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.She wanted to run, but reason told her that if William were to push her into the pool and stage an accidental drowning, their mission would be accomplished.Sweat began to bead on her forehead. She remained perfectly still, holding her breath out of instinct.At that moment, a t

William winced from the pain. His eyes were dark with menace as he glared at Millie, yet he refrained from slapping her.He used his other hand to grip her jaw tightly, enough to dislocate it.Millie was equally fierce. She was determined to bite off a piece of his flesh even if her jaw was dislocated.They were like two predators locked in a deadly standoff, each clutching the other's throat.At that moment, Pierce rushed over. "Millie, let go."Instantly, the fiery anger within Millie was extinguished. She was no longer the aggressive little tigress from earlier.She released her bite immediately. Without bothering to put on her shoes, she rushed toward Pierce.As William glanced at his bloodied hand, a smirk played on his lips. "Your woman is quite fierce, Officer Atkinson." His tone carried a hint of reproach.Frowning, Millie looked at him with disgust.Meanwhile, Pierce narrowed his eyes. He could sense the predatory gleam in William's gaze, as if he were eyeing his next

Pierce's breathing quickened. As he prepared to tear at her clothes, Thomas' cough reached his ears."Pierce, I know you're eager, but please hold on. We really didn't want to interrupt, but… despite it looking like a two-person affair, it's actually a four-person game."Pierce froze. Damn, he had forgotten about the two unwanted spectators outside. He was wearing an earpiece, and Millie had a hidden camera on her. Had those two just seen everything?"Why did you stop?" Millie looked pained. Her eyes were both dazed and innocent. She was waiting for him to calm her desire."We need to deal with some problems first," Pierce said as he removed the earpiece.The moment Millie saw him do that, her mind went into overdrive, and her blood seemed to rush backward.She let out a scream. There was still surveillance on her! Everything they had done and said was known to Jason and Thomas. How could she face them now?In a surge of strength she didn't know she had, she kicked Pierce, sendi

Pierce asked Millie that question with determination.Millie fell silent. Technically, she should treat Pierce and Stefan similarly and steer clear of Pierce.But her heart always swayed when it came to Pierce for some reason. It was probably because Pierce was always there for her whenever she had a hard time. Whether it was before or after their marriage, he never disappointed her. He wasn't like Stefan, who kept breaking her heart to the extent that she had gotten used to it. Stefan was constantly deliberating the pros and cons and picking the side that benefited him the most. To him, Millie was always the one who could be discarded as the other option.On the contrary, Pierce had never made her his second option. There was an awkward silence in the room. Millie didn't know how to respond to Pierce's question. As she was pondering her answer, she saw the corner of Bill's eye twitch. Was he regaining consciousness now?"Grandpa… Grandpa's eyes twitched just now," she sa
I'm Out of Your League Now Chapter 353
"Why are you here?" Pierce asked, despite knowing the answer."Grandpa must have been confused and called me in his disoriented state. Is he doing alright now?" Millie asked urgently. "I don't know what's going on inside." Pierce shook his head. "They're still performing emergency treatment on him. But the doctor did mention that his condition was quite severe this time. Grandpa might not be able to…" He drifted off, not finishing the rest of his sentence.Millie staggered on her feet, almost falling to the ground. She knew it was only a matter of time before Bill would have to say goodbye to the world, but she didn't expect it to be so soon. It had barely been a year!Bill had always looked after her. Ever since she married Pierce, Bill treated Millie even better than before. Despite the gossip about her, Bill always empathized with her, feeling her pain as if it were his own.Although she didn't have blood ties to Bill or Agnes, they still showed her the utmost love and c

Pierce said, "Yes, I wanted to marry her. So, the fact that you were pretending to be sick wasn't really a threat to me. You just provided me with a valid reason to do so."He continued, "I've transferred you to a different sanatorium these three years instead of letting you stay alone because of her too.""I see. No wonder you insisted that I stay here despite how much I dislike Mrs. Leach Senior. You're certain I'd see Millie here often and like her, huh?" Bill asked in curiosity."Not really."Pierce hadn't expected things to turn out this way. All he wanted was to see Millie more often. After finding out that Millie was taking care of Agnes in this sanatorium, he decided to visit Bill frequently to increase his chances of seeing her.Even a quick glance was more than enough for him. "Well, why did you agree to a divorce then? I don't understand at all. You care about her so much," Bill said.Bill knew that they were going to get a divorce. In fact, he wanted to stop them.

"Mrs. Leach Senior, I won't go. After all, it's your family gathering. How about I treat you to dinner alone some other time?" Millie suggested."You're part of my family too," Agnes insisted."I know you care about me, but Stefan is married to Wanda. If I attend, how do you think Wanda will feel? I don't want to stir up unnecessary trouble," Millie replied.She wasn't afraid of Wanda, but she had no desire to see her again. Wanda had already lost everything, especially after losing the baby. Her real goal wasn't to fight Millie to the bitter end—it was to secure Stefan's affection.Unfortunately, she had lost the ability to conceive children. The Leach family's vast fortune would eventually require an heir. No matter how much Stefan loved her, Wanda was destined to be abandoned.Millie found herself pitying Wanda. As always, her schemes had spectacularly backfired against herself."But I invited several exceptional young men to meet you. It's a chance for you to meet potential s

"Stefan, I've already ended up this way, yet you're still going to see your ex?" Wanda asked as tears streamed down her face."Wanda, it's not what you think. Grandma is back and wants to host a family gathering. She wanted Millie to come as well," Stefan explained."Family gathering? And you're inviting an outsider?""Wanda, Millie was with me for three years. When Grandma was ill, it was Millie who took care of her and kept her company."Wanda scoffed. "I could've done that too. Do you think I didn't want to? Why is my life so miserable? My family went bankrupt, and before my parents passed, they left me with your family. Your parents looked down on me, so they sent me overseas and married me off to an abusive drunkard!"My life after marriage was hell on Earth. It was a nightmare! Your family owes me more than anything Millie ever did for you in those three years. I am your wife now, and yet your grandmother is still thinking about someone else?"Is it because your grandmothe

Stefan felt his stomach churn violently. The smell alone was nauseating, and all Wanda had done was add a pinch of salt for flavor. How could she possibly eat the placenta stew with an overpowering fishy smell?Wanda ate happily, enjoying every bite. For a moment, Stefan had an unsettling thought—it didn't seem like she was eating a placenta, but a child.He waited until she finished before heading downstairs, acting as if nothing had happened."I'm leaving now," he said calmly."Wait, Stefan," Wanda said, stopping him."Is there anything else?""Are you really just going to forget about the incident? If Millie hadn't argued with me and pushed me, the accident wouldn't have happened. Even if she wasn't the mastermind, she should still bear some responsibility. "She's an accomplice to killing our child, Stefan. Are you really not going to seek justice for our baby?" Wanda asked while shedding a few tears. Her crying made her act look sincere and convincing.When it came to cryi

Stefan and Millie would have probably ended up getting married, right? Since Stefan had already treated Millie as a substitute, and she was even better than the original, why couldn't they just continue like this forever?Stefan suddenly recalled the first time he met Millie. She was dressed in revealing clothes, trembling like a helpless lamb awaiting to be slaughtered. When he first saw her, he was captivated—not only because she resembled Wanda so closely but also because she was genuinely beautiful—more beautiful than Wanda, and she was stunning. He couldn't help but feel empathy for her.In the beginning, he hadn't thought much of it. Millie was just a substitute, a cure for the heartache Wanda had left behind. But over time, Millie proved herself. She was thoughtful, considerate, and kind. Her presence gradually eased the pain left by his breakup with Wanda.In reality, Stefan had broken up with Wanda years ago and spent several years living recklessly. Meeting Millie agai

"Don't you… have anything to say?" Stefan asked hesitantly.It would have been a perfectly normal reaction for Millie to yell at Stefan or even slap him.But instead, she was calm. Her tone was flat, and her gaze was cold, sending a chill down his spine.Instead of anger and disappointment, she looked at him now calmly and emotionlessly as though he were a mere stranger."I need to go, Mr. Leach," she said softly.She recalled when Wanda barged into her studio, yelling at her and saying if this were ancient times, she would willingly share a husband with her. Wanda also agreed to let Stefan keep her as a mistress.If they wanted to humiliate themselves, it was their own business, but why pull her into their chaos?Millie had tried to explain herself, but neither of them had been willing to listen. Why should she waste her breath arguing with people who refused to listen?Stefan couldn't let her go, while Wanda saw Millie as a rival and wanted to compete with her. But to Millie,

Julian spoke each word slowly, and his words left Millie speechless.Even though she knew she was innocent, Wanda's plans had made her imprisonment almost certain. If it weren't for Pierce, she would have been doomed."What's going on, Julian? I thought you left," Millie said."Who said I left? I told you I just needed a few days to rest. Since I couldn't help with your troubles, I figured I'd at least look after the company for you."I wasn't just sitting around during my off days. I gave a lecture in school and recruited some new talent. As for the contaminated fabrics issue, I've already cleared the studio's name. It might take a bit of time, but we'll be back on track soon.""Julian…"It turned out she was the only one being narrow-minded. She even thought she and Julian couldn't even be friends anymore.Julian laughed. "I'm not that petty. We're still business partners, and I'm still your senior. We're… still the same as before, alright?"Millie nodded firmly. "Thanks, Jul
