Millie didn't think Pierce was kidding. He would put his money where his mouth was. After all, he used to be a public servant. He held himself to higher moral and legal standards than most people. One would expect him to be pure and righteous, but he wasn't. In fact, he even harbored a slight malevolence within him.He had an evil nature!He never dabbled in illegal business, but if it was technically legal, he would do as he pleased. For example, he took advantage of them being legally married to kiss and hug her as he wished.People like this were far more dangerous than she could imagine."I'll take you to the hospital. Your wound is still bleeding.""I'm not going to drop dead.""Go to the hospital," Millie said firmly. Then, she dragged him into the car and drove to the hospital.The reopened wound was gushing blood, staining his white shirt a terrifying shade of red. He needed new stitches and medication.Because she blamed herself, Millie took care of him by her bedsid

"Millie said that she'd lied to me before because she didn't want to make it known that she was dating someone. She also said that she was crazy about this guy. There's no chance for me at all.""She said that she was crazy over that guy?""Yes." Julian bowed his head in defeat."You'll meet someone better. She's not a match for you.""Pierce, I will never meet a girl I like this much again. You've never seen her when she looks dazzling and full of life. She is filled with raw talent. If you met a woman like her, you would fall for her too."There was no reply for a long time, so Julian changed the subject. After all, Pierce was a married man now. On top of that, his grandfather had set him up. He most likely wouldn't be able to relate."I'll buy you a few drinks next time."Julian hung up after that. When he went to talk to Millie about the order, he happened to find her browsing the web.She was on an auction site, focused on a piece of embroidery.It was one of Elara Voss'

If Stefan had continued to up the bid and bought the artwork for Wanda, then he would have become the hero who was willing to spend a hefty sum just to see his woman smile.However, he'd failed to buy it, and it ended up falling into his ex-girlfriend's hands. How infuriating.Stefan stormed back to his private room angrily and ordered his secretary to find out who the bidder in the next room was."Mr. Leach, I didn't manage to find anything."Stefan narrowed his gaze. In Arbelton, someone of this caliber had to be of nearly equal status to the Leach family. There were only a handful of families that could compare. It was definitely possible to find out if they spent some time digging deeper."You have three days. If you can't find out who it was, you can get lost," Stefan said darkly."Did you say that Ms. Jordan was going to the room to thank the bidder? Think about it, how would a woman who just accepted something worth 200 million dollars show her gratitude? Do you think… M

Stefan slammed his fist against the head of the bed. His fist immediately flushed red, but the pain didn't seem to bother him in the slightest."She really got together with Pierce. How is this possible…""Perhaps Ms. Jordan was so heartbroken that she chose Mr. Atkinson just to get back at you.""Really?" Stefan asked doubtfully, frowning.Mark replied, "Of course. Ms. Jordan still loves you, and that's why she did that. She just wanted to see how you would react, Mr. Leach. If you let it get to you, then you'll have played right into her hands."When Stefan heard that, the anger slowly dissipated from his face. He snorted. "She is really willing to go to any lengths. Does she think I'll go back to her like this? How ridiculous."As long as I don't pay it any mind, then Millie won't be able to get to me. However, Pierce…"If Pierce agreed to get with her, it meant that he was most likely trying to get back at him too.Back then, his mother had been opposed to him being with Wa

After the two separated, Pierce's gaze was predatory and lustful. Millie felt like he was going to swallow her whole any second.Soon, the desire in his eyes completely vanished, as though it never existed."Let's go. The party is about to start."Millie steeled her nerves. After Pierce got down, he opened her door like a gentleman. The two of them got onto the cruise after flashing their invitations.People immediately came up to greet Pierce. They all noticed Millie standing next to him."Who is this, Mr. Atkinson?""Hello, my name is Millie Jordan. I run a fashion design studio. This is my name card." Millie quickly tried to sell herself.Suddenly, she felt like it was inappropriate to be taking her name card out right now. She snuck a glance at Pierce, scared that he would get angry."Mr. Wales, I hope you'll support her business.""Of course."When Millie heard that, she sighed in relief. Her speech grew even more animated and lively.At that moment, someone called ou
