Wanda met Stefan's gaze, still feeling reluctant to back down. But at that moment, she couldn't find the words to refute him.She was incredibly jealous that Millie got to be with Pierce—that meant that she had secured a better other half than she did. Also, she was displeased by the fact that Leach Group was overshadowed by Atkinson Group.Wanda had yet to see Millie on her knees, begging for mercy. She wanted Millie to admit that she had lost and was inferior to her. She wasn't willing to let it all go. On the surface, she agreed with Stefan.

She kept trying to convince herself that given the circumstances back then, Pierce didn't have any better option to help her.If he had had any other options, he would never have taken that path.

"But right now, the situation doesn't look good for you. Pierce and Charlotte are still engaged, and you've already divorced him. Yet, you're frequently seen together. The public backlash against you may be severe," Sharon warned."Don't worry. I'll be fine," Millie reassured her. Then, she ended the call and turned to Pierce.Coincidentally, Pierce was looking down at his phone and had just looked up as their eyes met. For a brief moment, an unspoken understanding passed between them."It seems like you've heard of the rumors being spread," Pierce said. "Yes. I plan to let it blow up first and create a bigger uproar before releasing the news of your annulled engagement with Charlotte," Millie replied."Alright, I'll follow your lead. I'll find out who's behind this soon enough." Pierce agreed.Millie changed the topic. "Didn't you sleep well last night? You have dark circles under your eyes.""It's nothing, I just had one too many dreams. It's not a big deal," Pierce said wi

Millie shut herself away from the outside world. In the following days, she didn't step out of her home at all. She had already informed Julian and Sharon not to argue on her behalf online, saying that justice would prevail sooner or later.Furthermore, to protect her employees and shield them from being adversely affected, she ordered everyone in her design studio to take leave for the time being. She would hold Wanda accountable for the studio's losses and make her pay back the damages down the road.Meanwhile, the rumors spread like wildfire on the internet.When Stefan saw them, he felt conflicted. He wanted to help but didn't want to risk Wanda finding out and losing her mind over it. He knew he had no other options left—his only choice was to firmly stand by Wanda. So, he decided to stay on the sidelines and waited for Pierce to act.Occasionally, he found satisfaction in the online discourse. Millie had claimed that she would never stoop so low as to become someone's

"Take him downstairs and give him whatever he wants," Stefan ordered through gritted teeth. If there hadn't been an outsider present, he might have lost his temper on the spot.Mark sensed the tension in the air. So, he quickly escorted the man out and dealt with the matter before rushing back to the office.By the time he came back, the office was a mess. Everything on the desk had been hurled across the room and scattered everywhere.Stefan was not one to easily lose his cool—he was usually calm and composed. But this time, he couldn't hold back his anger.Mark understood why Stefan found this unbearable. After all, the man's arrival was a blatant reminder to him that Wanda had been in contact with Celia, and there had been financial dealings between them.This meant that Wanda wasn't as innocent as she made herself to be when she had the miscarriage.Stefan had been staunchly defending Wanda. So, this was essentially a harsh slap to his face for blindly choosing to stand b

"You will go to Stefan and accuse Wanda of the heinous act and force him to tear away the last shred of their façade. I've set the stage. When the time comes, everyone will play their part," Pierce calmly explained."I'll be going to him?" Millie asked, incredulous."Yes, you. You'll be the victim. Because of the uproar surrounding this controversy, you were attacked by a group of irrational people, and your life was nearly taken. Among them, there were people sent by Wanda."Wanda wasn't the culprit, but that didn't matter because Pierce would make sure that she was. This act was staged for Stefan to deepen his guilt toward Millie and heighten his loathing for the venomous Wanda."So, do I need to get injured?" Millie questioned."A fake injury will suffice. I'll have a special effects artist create a realistic wound for you," Pierce replied, stepping closer. He placed a finger near Millie's heart and said, "You'll take a stab here. If it's a little deeper or slightly toward

It was a document.Stefan opened it and saw evidence detailing how Wanda had bribed the media to manipulate public opinion. It showed how she'd egged the incensed internet users on in chat groups, encouraging them to confront Millie in person.The document even implied that Wanda had hired the person who stabbed Millie!Stefan stared at the document, his hands slightly trembling. He blurted in disbelief, "This… This can't be true. Wanda wouldn't do something like this. I've done my best to make her feel secure, and she promised to live a good life with me… You're making false accusations!"Millie coldly retorted, "You're still the same as always. You take her side no matter what. Must I die in her hands before you'll finally admit the truth?""No… That's not what I meant…" Stefan's voice faltered, his words weak and unconvincing.The evidence was damning—it pointed squarely at Wanda.He had already promised to cut ties with Millie and avoid her to focus on his own life. Yet, w

Wanda felt aggrieved. She had bribed the media, but she'd never ordered anyone to commit murder. She hadn't gone that far. After all, Millie had been keeping a low profile and was out of the public eye. Even if Wanda had wanted to act, there had been no opportunity for her to do so.Yet, Millie somehow went out and was ambushed by rabid people who had gotten too carried away with their hate for her.When Wanda learned that Millie was hospitalized due to a grave injury and was possibly on the brink of death, she'd secretly prayed for her demise every day."Stefan, don't listen to her nonsense! I didn't order anyone to kill her. You can look into it and judge for yourself!" Wanda cried."Then explain this!" Stefan threw the evidence at her. Wanda flipped through the pages, her face growing paler with each one. Pierce's investigation had been meticulous. Even though Wanda had used someone else's identity to bribe the media, it hadn't been enough to cover her tracks.As she con

He called for Mark, intending to have him forcibly escort Millie out."Ms. Jordan, please come with me," Mark said.But Millie refused to leave. When Mark forcefully grabbed her, her wound reopened as she struggled against his grip. The sudden pain made her face turn ghostly pale, and tears threatened to spill from her eyes.Mark instantly froze, afraid to touch her again. "S-She's still injured, Mr. Leach. I can't…"Stefan felt a sharp pang in his chest. After all, Millie had once saved his life."You should go home and rest with that injury. Stop wandering around. This matter ends here. I'll make sure you won't see Wanda again. Don't be unreasonable. When I say this ends here, it ends here," he firmly said."And if I insist on pursuing this?" Millie countered."Millie!" Stefan's eyes reddened in frustration. "Are you not going to stop until you see me completely ruined? Is that what you want?" His voice shook as he gritted his teeth. Why did she have to trample on his prid

Wanda's smile froze on her face.The wound on Millie's chest was unmistakably real. It was a ragged, gaping hole that looked like the result of multiple stabs. Blood gushed out, soaking the bandages and Millie's torn clothes. The stitches had completely burst due to Wanda's reckless actions. Millie's face turned deathly pale as pain wracked her body."This can't be real! How could you risk your own life like this?" Wanda cried out, unable to believe her eyes.In a desperate bid to prove her theory, she pressed her fingers against the wound. Instantly, she felt the sticky warmth of fresh blood on her fingertips."There must be a blood bag. Where is it hidden? This has to be special effects, right?" Wanda's voice grew shrill, her disbelief mounting.She couldn't comprehend how Millie had made the wound look so realistic. It was exactly the same as a real wound! This was impossible!Millie couldn't stand the excruciating pain—her body was quickly reaching its limit. She had
