"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

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.

"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 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

Nero was also a Caledynian. He was called "Nero" because he was slightly more tanned than the others.Both Nero and William worked in the Golden Triangle area. They mostly made smuggling trades in Solandra's black market, especially in places like Moanelay and Lyza. "Who are you, and why did you take me here?" Nero asked.If the police had arrested Nero, he would have been sent away to be interrogated. So, why was he secretly brought here?"You're here, Pierce," Tobias said, ignoring Nero. He walked over to Pierce when he heard the footsteps. Nero was flabbergasted the moment he saw Pierce. "You… You're Pierce Atkinson?"Pierce was a legendary customs officer with a lengthy list of achievements at a young age. Besides, he had arrested a large number of underground dealers, including Nero's accomplices.People like Nero swore an oath to kill Pierce if they ever came across him whenever they were out there dealing in the black market. Everyone was desperate to kill him to as

Nero knew he would die for sure, but he didn't want to die for some fabricated accusations. It turned out Pierce was fuming because he thought that Nero laid his hand on Millie.Pierce still had more to say, but Nero couldn't hold on any longer.His wounds were bleeding profusely. They hurt so much that he felt completely numb. At last, he couldn't handle the pain anymore.Nero blacked out, completely losing consciousness. Pierce's brows pulled together in a deep frown. He was very confused. Judging from Nero's reaction just now, he didn't seem like he was lying. Everyone knew that Millie was Pierce's wife. Thus, Nero should have known what he did wrong when he was brought here, but he still asked for the reason so he wouldn't die in confusion. Something felt off in this situation. "Find a way to wake him up. He hasn't finished what he was saying yet," Pierce said.Tobias hastily brought some chicken soup over, helping Nero to regain consciousness. Finally, Nero woke up

"No one will regard you as a mute even if you don't talk," Pierce said irritably.Tobias frowned, not daring to speak anymore.Pierce rushed back to the sanatorium and found Millie dozing by the bed while Bill was sleeping deeply and peacefully.The doctor said, "Ms. Jordan has been by Mr. Atkinson Senior's side constantly, handling everything. She even took over as caregiver when Mr. Atkinson Senior had no appetite. She cooked some appetizing meals for him."Over the years, we've all seen how Ms. Jordan treated Mr. Atkinson Senior with such care. She's genuinely kind-hearted and isn't someone looking to manipulate the situation for personal advantage."The elderly brought here were from powerful families, and their children were too busy to care for them, leaving them lonely. At least they would have some company here.No one in the Atkinson family was looking after Bill, who was stubborn and a loner. After getting into an argument with Donald, Bill moved here on his own accord.

Pierce tried to push Millie away. But just as he managed to push her a little farther away, she quickly snuggled back against him."Hug me..." she mumbled, clinging to him even tighter. Her soft, pliant chest clung to his arm.His breathing became ragged.Pierce had no idea how he made it through the night, desperately holding back his desires. He didn't even dare move.He began to doubt himself, wondering if something was wrong with him, given how calm he was in such a situation.Time seemed to drag on endlessly.The next morning, Millie woke up feeling refreshed and energized—she had slept well through the night. She couldn't help but stretch her arms.Unexpectedly, she touched something firm and warm.She froze for a moment, and her mind went blank as she stared at Pierce. His clothes were crumpled—they were the same ones from yesterday.How did she end up in bed with Pierce?Pierce's eyes snapped open. They were red-rimmed, a clear sign of a restless night. Even his voice

"You're overthinking it. It won't happen," Stefan said."Then take me with you!" Wanda retorted.Stefan considered backing down, but he remembered what Millie had said before. Millie never wanted to see Wanda again. He was quite concerned for Wanda. He was worried about her discovering that she would never be able to have children again, especially when she had not even finished recovering from her miscarriage. How would she handle it?Besides, she should not be going out during her recovery period in the first place. He was just trying to take care of her in every way."I said, stay home and rest!" Stefan's tone turned harsher.That was no longer a discussion but a command.Wanda's face turned pale. She stared at him in disbelief. "Stefan, who are you choosing, me or Millie?"Stefan furrowed his brow as he felt the frustration bubbling inside. "Why are you bringing this up again? Of course, I would choose you!""Is it because I had a miscarriage? Do you despise me? Do you wa

Bill was in a tough spot. Handing over the phone did not seem right, but not handing it over was also not an option.Bill hesitated and kept hold of the phone. "Mrs. Leach Senior, Millie can go, but only if Pierce goes with her.""And why is that? What's their relationship now? They're already divorced. Stop dragging things out! Your grandson might have no shame, but Millie does!" Agnes responded."Fine, then neither of them will go!" Bill exclaimed before hanging up the phone abruptly.Millie felt a bit flustered. The two of them were over 150 years old combined, yet they argued like children."So, Grandpa, should I go or not?""Go… Go, but take Pierce with you. I'll have him bring you back here later. I still need you around, Millie.""But we're divorced.""Pierce can still visit Mrs. Leach Senior.""But this is a family gathering.""He's shameless enough to crash it without an invitation."Pierce stood by the door with a dark expression. He seemed to want to blast Bill ou
