"You're so beautiful, Mills," Pierce said.When Millie heard this, her heart skipped a beat. When Pierce let his guard down, his glistening eyes made him look like a puppy. Millie found it hard to breathe evenly when he looked up at her like that.She held his face and leaned forward before kissing his lips. Although she was the one who started it, Pierce was the one who took control afterward. He impatiently kissed her. He thought that if he tried just a little harder, maybe then Millie wouldn't have a child with someone else. Instead, she might consider having one with him. He wanted to be acknowledged. He wanted to gain honor through his child. Pierce wanted to go even further with Millie. However, he didn't dare to because he knew that Millie still resisted him.His chest rose and fell unevenly as the kiss ended. Then, he looked at Millie with an even more pitiful gaze. His gaze held his unsatisfied desires. It was very tough for him to restrain himself, yet, there

Millie felt her nose tingling with emotion, but she kept it bottled up. However, the moment she saw her room, she could no longer hold it in and began to cry. In the past, the master bedroom had been inhabited by her parents. Both she and her younger brother, Mateo, had smaller rooms. However, Mateo's room was much bigger than hers, and it also had a balcony and a walk-in closet.Before Mateo was born, that used to be Millie's room. But after he was born, Millie found that all her possessions had been moved to the guest room one day after returning home from school."You'll eventually be married off to someone else, but your brother is different. He'll bring a wife home one day," her parents had said.So just like that, the room that originally belonged to her was given to Mateo. But now, that room with the balcony and the walk-in closet was back, and it was filled with all her possessions. Even the bedsheets and the plushies were perfectly duplicated—everything looked the same.

"It's okay. I'll care about it on your behalf," Pierce said. "Pierce, have you ever thought about the possibility that I could have kept enduring Stefan's treatment toward me? Or imagine if we missed each other because you came back only after I'd left Arbelton."All these things you've done would have been meaningless and nothing would have come out of them," Millie said. "Not all flowers must bear fruit, Mills. It doesn't matter as long as they had the chance to bloom before. Plus, I never would have given up. I would still have shown up in front of you to fight for a chance. Even if you rejected me, I would have met my own fate."Whether it was dying in a mission or being alone for the rest of his life, Pierce would still have met his fate. It just wouldn't be a happy ending."There's no need to do things like that anymore, Pierce. You can love me boldly and openly. You can even announce it to the world! Don't make yourself twisted by forcing yourself to secretly do these t

Sharon began, "At first, I wondered how there could be two people in the world who looked so similar to each other. Turns out, they were actually the same person. He didn't use to go by the name Tristan. "Back then, he moved away to a better house because his family business became successful. However, it turned out that his father was having an affair. As a result, his parents swiftly divorced."He went to live with his father and his cruel stepmother. Soon after, his stepmother became pregnant, and his father began to act like a stepfather. Tristan suffered a lot while he was under the care of his father and stepmother. They prevented him from going to school and even starved him at times."Soon, his mother came to know of the way he was being treated and took back custody of him. It seemed like a fresh beginning for him, but it turned out that the man his mother got remarried to was a deadbeat. "The real reason she took back custody of Tristan was so that she could get child s

Sharon was still bawling her eyes out.Millie felt deeply sorry for her. She patted Sharon's head to comfort her while saying, "I'll find out who she is."And so, Millie had Tobias to investigate the rich lady's background. They uncovered that her name was Helen Whitmore. Her husband had passed away early, and her son, Ethan Keaton, didn't care about her. So, she spent her days hanging out at clubs with her friends.Ethan ran a tech company, and its AI system which was undergoing development at the moment was highly sought after by many. AI technology was currently a hot commodity, and Atkinson Group was one of the interested parties extending an olive branch to him."Is Atkinson Group interested in securing this particular project?" Millie asked."Yes. But right now, Leach Group is in negotiations with that company. It seems they're close to finalizing the contract—"Tobias' phone was suddenly snatched away."Mills, don't worry about me. Do whatever you want. If the sky fa

Ethan was overjoyed. Back then, he was in a dilemma over choosing between Atkinson Group and Leach Group.Ethan preferred Atkinson Group, but Pierce's strong and dictatorial attitude left no room for compromise. So, he reluctantly chose Leach Group instead.But now, Ethan knew he was in the wrong. It didn't matter who he worked with as long as this issue could be solved.…Stefan appeared to be uneasy after Ethan left.Mark spoke up at just the right moment, saying, "Mr. Leach, logically speaking, you shouldn't make further concessions on the contract terms. Ms. Jordan doesn't seem to welcome you.""I know, but this is going to be beneficial for Leach Group. I have to give it a shot. I can offer her benefits…" Stefan said.Mark wanted to say something, but he held back. Clearly, Millie wasn't someone who could be swayed by material benefits. After all, was there anything she couldn't get when she had Pierce backing her up?Stefan, however, was simply driven by pride—he just

The Jordans were humiliated and disgraced in Arbelton. They'd rather die than face the shame of returning.They'd even cut ties with Millie. It was as if just the thought of Millie would bring back the memories of the sneers and the ridicule they had to endure from their so-called friends."Frederick, what a remarkable daughter you have! Rumor has it that she met Mr. Leach while working at a nightclub. Congratulations! With Mr. Leach's favor, you will turn your life around!" one friend had said.Frederick was ashamed of Millie ever since. Perhaps, he had already decided to give up on her back then.Millie's thoughts snapped back to reality as her phone continued ringing. Finally, she mustered up her courage and picked up the phone."Dad…""Don't call me 'Dad'! Do you know what people are saying about you out there? They called you a seductress! First, you seduced Stefan, and now you're after Pierce!"You embarrassed yourself when you decided to be with Stefan. You should've just

Upon hearing those words, Stefan immediately found his thoughts drifting back to three years ago.He remembered how Millie was huddled within a crowd with innocent eyes resembling those of a newborn fawn. They were full of naivety and fear about what lay ahead.She had caught his attention immediately. Then, his next thought was how much she resembled Wanda. They were very similar, yet not quite the same. Instantly, his heart had softened."You and he are not the same. You met me on your first try," Stefan said."No, we are the same. If it weren't for Pierce's backing, I'd be no different from Tristan to you. We're both people you could easily deal with! I refuse to let this go no matter what!" Millie resolutely replied, enunciating every word.Stefan's expression took on a hint of displeasure. "Why must you interfere in a matter involving some male escort? Is it because you two had been involved at some point in time? Aren't you afraid that Pierce will be upset if you stand up fo

When Stefan saw Pierce, his face turned ashen. "See? I wasn't wrong. All you do is rely on Pierce!""And what about you? You're nothing more than someone who was born into privilege and happened to inherit the Leach family's legacy. How could you bask in the glory your forefathers built so unabashedly?" Pierce retorted."Don't forget that you and I come from similar backgrounds. What gives you the right to lecture me?" Stefan hotly argued."No, I'm not like you. Even without Atkinson Group, I'd still have my own career. Without the Leach family, what would you be? Could you climb the career ladder from the bottom up like an ordinary person? Without your status as the CEO of Leach Group, what are you even capable of?"You're just as much of a bully, so who are you to criticize others? Listen, Millie has never relied on me—it was me who willingly offered everything to her. For Millie to spare me a glance is my greatest blessing! That, too, is a skill. She has the ability to make me u

"Are you the CEO of Atkinson Group, Pierce Atkinson?" Frederick asked.Pierce replied, "I am.""Do you like Millie?""I do.""Then how dare you talk to me like this? She's my daughter. She has to do whatever I tell her to do. It's not up to you to interfere. Give her the phone. Let me talk to her!" Frederick demanded.Millie snatched the phone and yelled back, "I don't want to talk to you right now! Pierce is right! This is a debt that the Jordan family owes—not me! If it needs to be repaid, you should do it yourself!"After saying this, she furiously hung up the call. Then, to prevent Frederick from contacting her again, she immediately blocked his number.Her family had never cared about her anyway. They were always fixated on her brother and the Jordan family's reputation while thinking she was an embarrassment. This led them to shun her and to never contact her for three whole years.Millie decided that she didn't need the Jordan family anymore. It wasn't a big deal."Let
