Just then, there was movement outside, and the ship violently shook.Millie was stunned and quickly realized that Pierce had brought his men onto the ship.She hurried to the decks and saw Pierce in his uniform for the first time. He had a buzzcut, his eyes were sharp like an eagle's, and he moved with amazing agility. He led the charge with explosive momentum, clearly fighting as if he had no regard for his own life. She saw bullets graze his face a few times. One tiny slip-up would end him with a headshot.Each time, he narrowly evaded danger by staying close behind others.The men stormed the ship and quickly captured everyone. Meanwhile, Pierce started to look for hostages and eventually only found Millie. Without hesitation, he took off his coat and covered her exposed body. Deep down, Millie knew that the effects of the pills were about to kick in.Pierce was about to leave while carrying her in her arms, but he noticed something off about Millie and brought her ba

Pierce agreed to let Millie leave before he had fully tasted her. He had to do it while he could still restrain his emotions, before he lost his conscience and went mad."Millie, you've gotten what you wanted. Are you satisfied now? See you at the courthouse tomorrow." After saying that, Pierce turned and left. He dared not linger for even a moment, afraid that he might regret it.Meanwhile, Millie felt completely dazed. She didn't expect things to progress so fast.Pierce had finally agreed to a divorce. She could stop falling deeper in love and finally have control over her own emotions. But why? Why did it feel like her heart was being pricked by countless tiny needles? An incessant and subtle pain ate at her from within."Ms. Jordan, I think you're perfectly normal."For some reason, Bruce's words kept echoing in her mind.Millie was normal. She wasn't sick. The only explanation was that she had fallen in love with Pierce. She had fallen in love with him without knowing th

The sniper was positioned on the tree. If the kidnappers tried to harm the girl outside the factory, the sniper would immediately take them out to ensure her safety. But no one knew how things would go once she got into the factory. The little girl smeared some mud on her face and took away valuable items from Pierce. She folded her school uniform neatly, then hesitated for a moment before draping it over Pierce.She then turned to leave. Unexpectedly, Pierce reached out and gripped her hand tightly. "Don't go. You'll die…""I won't. The police will protect me. They're really powerful."Pierce really wanted to say that the police weren't all-powerful. It was just that kids were too naive and thought that the police were superheroes who could defeat all the dark forces.He wasn't sure if she was scared. But based on her shaking legs and faltering steps, she should be. Yet, she moved forward bravely and even turned around to smile at him."When I get back, I'll buy you straw

Millie frowned.Immediately, her phone rang again. This time, it was Sharon.Millie picked up her phone and accepted the call."Bad news, Millie. Pierce has made an official announcement about his engagement."Millie's mind went blank. It was only a week ago that she and Pierce had gotten divorced, and now he was announcing his engagement? Wasn't that a bit too fast?"When did this happen?" Millie asked."Just now. Before he flew abroad. It's a marriage alliance with the Cole family who lives abroad. The news is all over the place. The press managed to take some photos of him getting on the plane.""It must be fake news…""No, it's not. The foreign media has already made it public that the Cole family's daughter is engaged to Pierce. I'll send you the summary link. Take a look for yourself. It's hard to explain over the phone."Sharon then sent a compiled collection of the interactions between Pierce and Charlotte Cole. The two had met at a party abroad, and their families

Julian didn't agree with Millie. "Come on. We've known each other for years. What's this talk about you dragging me down? We've weathered storms together before. A little hardship now is nothing."I have connections too. I'll reach out and find us some resources. There's always a way." From Julian's reply, it was clear that he was determined to stay. Millie then turned to Celia. "And what about you?""I'm not leaving either. I've been here since the company started. I've seen worse times. As long as you're here, I'm staying," Celia resolutely said.Millie's chest tightened with emotion. Their loyalty moved her deeply. The old saying that true friendships arose from hard times rang true during these particularly trying times.While Julian reached out to his contacts and Celia handed out flyers, Millie did all she could to keep the company afloat, too. She reached out to her old clients and offered to complete their designs for free. All she asked was that they wear her creations
