Chapter 371

Sharon was at a loss for words.She had been a victim of bullying herself, and she still remembered the ugly faces of those who had bullied her. Sometimes, she would wake up in the middle of the night feeling terrified from trying to heal the scars from her childhood.The initial reason that drove Sharon to become a journalist was because she wanted to expose the violence that took place on school grounds to the world.She could never forgive a bully. To her, anyone who preyed on the weak deserved punishment."I wouldn't be with him. I would break up with him immediately," Sharon stated."But what if you really liked him?" Millie asked.Without hesitation, Sharon replied, "If I stayed with him and dismissed his mistakes out of love, I'd start to think bullying isn't wrong. I might even become a bully myself one day." Empathizing with a bully could lead one to become the next perpetrator.Millie responded, "That's exactly how I feel now. Pierce did something wrong. And if I forgi

Millie parted her lips. She wanted to say something, but at that moment, she didn't know what to say.She knew that if Pierce hadn't shown up in time, she would have been assaulted. However, if it had been the kidnapper who'd assaulted her, she could have hated him for her whole life, and at least then, she'd even have good reason to murder him if she could. But it was Pierce. She couldn't bring herself to hate him. If it hadn't been him, it would have been someone else. Still, Millie felt like she didn't even have the right to resent the criminal who had tried to force himself on her. She couldn't let go of the pain, and it felt like she was being deadly stubborn.She couldn't persuade Pierce, and he couldn't persuade himself either. They were stuck in this stalemate and had no idea when it would end.Perhaps time would provide an answer.Millie walked forward with her head down. She drove to the mall, bought a few things, and headed to the Lytles' family residence.She had t

Bill just told the woman to jump off his rival's company building instead of his own so that her suicide wouldn't affect his property values and stock prices."The woman was so mad that she jumped right away! Luckily, someone rescued her in time, or it would have been a tragedy," Agnes narrated."Grandpa was terrible back then. How did you end up with him?" Millie asked.Agnes replied, "I didn't know any of his bad deeds back then, and the internet wasn't as developed. I came to Arbelton to study and met him at the university's social event. Then, he started to pursue me."Bill was really handsome back then, so I fell for him. We became a couple shortly after. Later on, I started hearing all the rumors about him, and it made me furious."She continued, "But women in love are foolish. We all hope that we're the ones who make the playboy settle down. He indeed dated me for six months, and we were very compatible. I thought I was different and that he would settle down for me."I wa

Agnes glared at Stefan, feeling exasperated that he never seemed to get the point. "Wanda isn't as simple as she seems on the surface. Aren't you worried that you may be speaking up for the wrong person?"Stefan's face turned a shade paler, but he firmly insisted, "Even if I'm backing the wrong person, I'll continue to stand up for her! Wanda isn't as bad as you think. Why are you so prejudiced against her, Grandma? "The first time we slept together, I was drunk and forced myself on her. If anyone is to blame, it's me. Isn't it because you're biased toward me that you push all the blame onto Wanda?""You're incorrigible and completely hopeless!" Agnes' voice trembled in anger as she spoke.Millie hadn't intended to intervene. After all, this was their family matter. However, she couldn't stand by and watch Stefan agitate Agnes to the point of making her collapse either. So, she pushed the door open and stepped out. When Stefan saw her, his expression shifted, and he immediately

Millie was worried that Agnes might be upset, but to her surprise, Agnes remained calm."Are you okay, Mrs. Leach Senior?" she softly asked.Agnes smiled. "When you reach my age, you'd have seen all kinds of storms. This is nothing."Millie could tell that her smile was a bit forced. After all, being defied by the grandson that she loved so much in her old age must have hurt her deeply.As Millie thought of that, she felt a pang of sadness. She didn't have any family around her. The only person who had ever doted on her like this was her own grandmother, who had unfortunately passed away very early. Her parents loved her too, but after her younger brother was born, she became less important in the family. Millie understood that not everyone could love her all the same at all times. So, the one thing she could do was love herself. But later on, she met Agnes, and then Bill. Though she shared no blood ties with them, they loved her unconditionally."You stay with Mrs. Leach Se

"You're so thoughtful and observant, Pierce," Rachel praised.As soon as she finished speaking, Pierce placed a piece of honey-barbecued pork chop on Millie's plate.One of Millie's eyebrows twitched and lifted slightly. How did Pierce know that she liked foods that were sweet and sour?Millie had an odd feeling about this but couldn't quite put a finger on it.Robin and Rachel noticed this and exchanged a glance. They both understood what the other was thinking at that moment.By the time they finished the meal, Agnes was taking her afternoon nap. Thus, Millie thought that it was best that she didn't disturb Agnes' rest and decided to leave.When Millie got to her car, she noticed something unusual with the tires. She looked down and discovered that a nail had punctured one of them, and it had already deflated. One side of her car was now noticeably lower compared to the other side."It was fine when I arrived," Millie said, puzzled."Maybe a kid did it, or perhaps you ran

Millie's heart started pounding erratically as a feeling of unease crept up."The divorce certificate… It isn't fake, is it?" she cautiously asked.Pierce pulled the car over to the side of the road. "What do you want to ask? Be direct. I'll answer you and won't lie."Pierce, surprisingly, cut straight to the point.Millie then summoned her courage and asked, "Is the divorce certificate real?""It's fake," Pierce honestly answered.Millie's eyes widened. "What?"How could he say that so boldly without a shred of guilt? Millie was so furious that she nearly passed out."How did you even manage that?""It doesn't have an official stamp, so it's invalid," Pierce blandly stated.Millie froze. She remembered that when they were filling out the forms, she suddenly felt unwell and went to the restroom. When she came back, the divorce certificate was ready. She had glanced at the names and ID numbers and saw that the details were correct, so she didn't bother to check if it was s

Millie listened to the voicemail message on the other end of the line. She was at a loss.This time, it seemed like she had truly gone too far.She sat down and tried to recall when she might have saved Pierce. But try as she might, she couldn't recall anything. Perhaps it was just a small, insignificant act of kindness on her part. But for Pierce, who might have been in crisis, it could have been a monumental favor.Millie thought that there was no need to make such a big deal out of it because she couldn't even remember it herself!Now that she had calmed down, she wanted to talk to Pierce with a softer approach. But there was no longer a chance for her to do that.Nevertheless, Millie decided not to dwell on it. Her words had indeed been harsh. But if this could lead to severing ties with Pierce once and for all, maybe it wasn't a bad thing. After all, if they were emotionally distant for two years in their marriage, she could use this as grounds for a divorce.Millie th

Millie was still worried. "But Grandpa, aren't you worried? What if…""That's his life. If he doesn't cherish it, what can we do?" Bill was clearly upset as well.After that, Bill didn't feel like seeing anyone. So, Millie left without getting any of the answers she was searching for.In the end, she decided to visit the villa, thinking she might find some clues there.When Millie arrived, she learned that Pierce had returned but had locked himself in a room upstairs. He hadn't eaten or drunk anything for two whole days. Then, after coming out of the room, he left and never returned.Millie recalled that there was a locked room upstairs that no one was allowed to enter. Pierce was the only one who had access to it, and he would occasionally clean it himself.Before his disappearance, he had only gone to that room and stayed there for two days. There had to be some clue inside.Millie decided to check it out, but there was no key to open it. Pierce's fingerprint and iris scan wer

Chapter 380

Pierce had been missing for a full week now.Millie and Tobias were completely out of leads and could only patiently wait for any news. Millie's network wasn't as extensive as Tobias's. So, if he couldn't find Pierce, she naturally stood no chance.Though Millie claimed to not care, she had been eating poorly and hadn't been getting much sleep. As a result, she'd lost significant weight during this time.Every day, she went to her design studio but couldn't produce any work. She lived aimlessly with her mind constantly troubled.By now, news of Pierce's disappearance had already spread. Some speculated that his years as a police officer had earned him too many enemies and that he had been secretly silenced. Others suggested that he had fallen gravely ill and gone abroad for treatment.Julian had heard the rumors and noticed Millie's distracted state. He saw how she was unwilling to stay home and how she forced herself to keep busy. It made him feel sorry for her."Millie, why d
