Chapter 231

Julian was quick to speak up. "I had a little too much to drink… I meant to hand you the phone, but I accidentally answered the call. Pierce seems to have misunderstood something. You should explain what happened to him."Millie replied, "Okay. Did he mention what he wanted to talk to me about?""He was asking if you wanted to visit Mr. Atkinson Senior tomorrow."Upon hearing this, Millie sent Pierce a text: "I'll be there at 10 tomorrow morning. See you then."After giving it some thought, she added, "Julian had a little too much to drink today. I sent him home."After that, she stared at her phone for a while, but Pierce never responded. So, she decided not to dwell on it.It was already 11:00 pm after the meal, and Bertha insisted that Millie shouldn't walk home on her own so late at night—either Bertha or her husband, Augustus Saville, would drive her home. She was also given the choice to stay the night since the guest room had already been cleaned up. Millie didn't want t

Chapter 232

Julian dropped Millie off at the entrance of the nursing home only for her to unexpectedly run into Pierce.Pierce had also just arrived and was stepping out of the car when he noticed Julian's vehicle. His expression turned sour."Should I go explain last night's situation to Pierce? It'd be bad if he misunderstood," Julian said."There's no need. He's not the petty type. He doesn't…" Millie trailed off.Pierce didn't care about her like that. But she left the last few words unspoken nevertheless.Julian then turned his car around and drove off as Pierce approached Millie."Why were you two together?" he asked."I had a problem with my car tire. So, I sent it away for repairs. It's hard to get a cab in the morning, so Julian gave me a ride," Millie answered."So, you stayed over at his place last night." Pierce's tone was icy."I dropped him off last night, and he threw up on my clothes. Mrs. Saville insisted that I clean up before leaving. And since it was getting late, th

Chapter 233

The conversation sounded awkward no matter how it was twisted."Millie, is what Pierce said true? Did you stay over at your male colleague's place?" Bill asked.Under the immense pressure, Millie wished she could find a hole to crawl into.Nevertheless, she hurried to explain what had happened the previous night."So, that's how it is. While those were extenuating circumstances, I still disapprove of your choice. You're married now. It's not right for you to stay over at a male colleague's home. If it had been a female colleague, I wouldn't have said a word," Bill said."It won't happen again, Grandpa." Millie assured Bill."Grandpa, Millie also said that there's nothing she can do about it even if I think that there's something going on between her and the other man. Do you think I'm being too petty?" Pierce asked.Millie and Bill stared at Pierce as if he had grown another head.Pierce didn't have a pitiful, hurt expression at all. Rather, he looked calm and detached and had

Chapter 234

"I knew that they wouldn't have let me starve to death, Pierce. But when you're starving, your mind shuts down. You have no idea what it feels like to be in extreme starvation," Millie began.She continued, "After going without food for three days, I couldn't even think straight. I could barely drag myself around. My vision was blurry, and I started to see things that weren't there. At that point, I would have eaten anything."It felt like countless hands were reaching up from my stomach to my throat, begging me to swallow something. All I could do was drink water until I eventually vomited and had to rush to the bathroom. But even after that brief moment of satisfaction, it was still endless hunger."I was jolted awake by hunger in the middle of the night and struggled to fall back asleep. Eventually, exhaustion overcame me, but I still felt the ache of hunger lingering in my dreams."I was so scared that I took a risk and escaped from the balcony. At that moment, I really thought

Chapter 235

They spent the afternoon having lunch, taking a brief rest, playing chess with Bill, and making some snacks. It was a satisfying and eventful day for both Millie and Pierce.In the evening, Pierce drove Millie back.In the car, Pierce suddenly said, "I realized that I left something behind and didn't bring it with me. Would it be possible for me to enter and retrieve it?""Well, it is your house after all," Millie replied.So, Pierce trailed behind as Millie entered the house. To their surprise, Julian was sitting in the living room."Julian? You haven't left yet?" Millie was taken aback because the maid had called in the evening to inform her that Julian was bringing the car over.As appreciation for his help, she had requested the maid to invite Julian for tea. She assumed that he would depart after he had finished his tea since she wasn't present. But surprisingly, he'd stayed for more than an hour."I remember you had a few issues of ER fashion magazines here. They're no l

Chapter 236

Julian's steps froze, and his fists clenched tightly. He knew he had violated his moral principles and was despicable. However…He turned around and looked straight at Pierce. "I know I shouldn't be doing this, but you've let me down so much. You can't give her the protection and fulfillment she deserves, so why not just let go and allow someone better suited to take over?""Someone more suitable? You?" Pierce sarcastically asked. "Aren't I? Do you really deserve to be with her? Why…""How do you know I don't? I'll tell you the truth—I've been plotting this for a long time. It's not something that can be achieved overnight." Pierce icily interrupted Julian and menacingly marched toward him. He was like a demon from the depths of hell. Julian felt his back slick with sweat, but he refused to back down even an inch. After all, to retreat would be admitting defeat.Then, Pierce said, "I admit that I carelessly hurt her this time, but such a thing will never happen again. Please

Chapter 237

Millie walked over to Pierce with an umbrella."It's fine. I'll just drive slower," Pierce said."You should wait for the rain to stop before leaving. What if something happens?" Millie asked, concerned.The more insistent Pierce was, the more worried Mille became. After all, if anything were to go wrong, she would have to carry the guilt for the rest of her life. In the end, Pierce reluctantly got out of the car. Then, he glanced back at the pouring rain, feeling grateful. Millie said, "Your clothes are soaked through. Quick, take a shower and change into something dry." Then, she turned to a maid and said, "You, go make some hot chocolate for him to ward off the cold.""You should take a shower as well," Pierce said."Mhmm," Millie hummed before walking back into the house. However, she was still worried about Julian. He had left 40 minutes earlier and should be home by now. Still, Millie was worried that something might be delaying his return home. She attempted to call

Chapter 238

When Millie overheard the scandalous conversation, her ears turned red in embarrassment. Goodness, what were young ladies thinking these days? She cleared her throat to remind them to be more discreet. Immediately, the maids fell silent and quickly went back to their tasks. Then, after grabbing her phone, Millie left. …About half an hour later, Pierce descended the stairs in a fully buttoned suit with a perfectly tied tie. He exuded an air of restraint that contrasted with his earlier athletic appearance, intensifying his allure."Should I drive you to work?" he asked."No need. I will drive there myself. Otherwise, it'll be difficult to return later." Millie rejected his offer.Pierce pressed his lips together but said nothing more. After that, they both ate breakfast very quietly. Pierce was the type who never spoke while eating, and this gave people the impression that he was a calm and composed individual.It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was aloof. I

The celebrity was Zachary Richard, a lead actor in a TV series. He had won the best actor award twice and was a star praised by his viewers. He had achieved success at just over 30 years old and was the envy of many. Currently, he had reached the peak of his career, and besides that, his wife was the princess of Beafast. For such an upright person, such a scandal could ruin his entire career in addition to severe consequences from his in-laws."Hand over the video," Eva instructed."Release her first." Millie demanded."Are you trying to bargain with me? What right do you have? You're just a nosy, lowly reporter. I could squash you like an ant if I wanted to." Eva assumed that Millie and Sharon were both reporters."If you don't give it to me now, I will make you." Eva immediately signaled for the bodyguards to start attacking Millie."Touch me if you dare. If you touch me, the videos will be released immediately." Millie threatened.At that moment, one of the bodyguards spok

Chapter 240

"The gun can't kill anyone! It can only cause minor injuries." Someone had figured out that the gun was a deception.Millie had gotten the gun from Thomas. If it could severely injure people, they would all be arrested by the police."Millie, you should go…" Sharon said. Then, she lunged forward and hugged the bodyguard at the front, wanting to buy Millie some time to escape. However, the door was locked from the outside and couldn't be opened in a short time. Besides, Sharon had a small physique too and couldn't buy that much more time for Millie.When Millie saw that the bodyguard was about to hit Sharon on the spine with his elbow, Millie's heart raced. She quickly rushed over to the bodyguard and blocked him from hitting Sharon with her arm.Suddenly, there was a cracking sound, and Millie's face paled in pain. For a moment, she didn't know if she had a fracture or a dislocation. Either way, her right arm was limp and numb. Was her arm crippled now?"What are you waiti
