Millie thought Pierce brought up marriage during the press conference to deal with his parents. But when she saw the news about Atkinson Group's stock soaring, she realized he was all about business.Pierce was upfront about being married. His sense of responsibility made people more confident about him taking over Atkinson Group.People on the Internet usually shared this same attitude. "A man who's willing to take on family responsibilities is usually a good catch. He's miles ahead of those who are secretly married and cheating."Thanks to Pierce's reputation and his honest demeanor, Atkinson Group's stock kept going up. It was hard to tell if the increase was due to the chip development or his charisma.The press conference at Atkinson Group swiftly made it to the top of trending topics. Many people talked about it on the Internet.Everyone started to wonder who Mrs. Atkinson was. She was so lucky to land a guy like Pierce, and she probably smiled in her sleep every night.Mil

Alex asked, "Did you bring your measuring tools? How about you take my measurements and make a custom set for me?""We have a male designer in our studio. I can introduce you to him and get you a discount," Millie responded."I don't want anyone else. I want you to do the design. Hurry up and take my measurements. Make sure you do it right.""Let's leave it for next time, Mr. Thorne. We can go over it when Cindy is here. I've got other appointments, so I'll head out now."Alex's lecherous demeanor was gross, and he kept crossing the line with Millie.Fuming, Millie grabbed her things and tried to leave. But as soon as she stood up, she felt light-headed, and her vision went dark.What went wrong? She didn't touch the drink Alex ordered at all.Puzzled, Millie looked at the glass before her, having not taken a sip."There's nothing with the alcohol; it's the lemonade. Didn't you notice it yet?"Alex chuckled.Millie's heart raced. A waiter brought over the lemonade, so she tho

Pierce could feel Millie's warm tears seeping through his shirt.After some time, Millie finally returned to her senses. She looked up, teary-eyed."What are you doing here?""I heard you calling for help."They were destined to meet. Whenever she was in danger, he always managed to show up in the nick of time. He was like her lucky star."Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"Mille shook her head."Are you tired? You should take a nap.""Stay with me," Millie asked softly. She knew she was being unreasonable, but she was still shaken from the ordeal. Alex's touch made her feel like she had fallen into an abyss. That was her greatest fear.Pierce pursed his lips as he made up his mind. "Alright. I'll stay with you.""Not on the couch. Stay with me by the bed. Is that okay?" Millie pleaded. Having him closer would make her feel safer."Alright. Whatever you say."Pierce was incredibly gentle and patient that night. He complied with all her requests.Millie leaned

Since Pierce had made his decision, Millie decided she wouldn't be concerned with it anymore.While she was resting at home, Samantha completely ignored her. Her attitude was arrogant and dismissive. Millie didn't bother with her either. Samantha had returned to Atkinson Group to work as Pierce's secretary. Everyone knew her status. Even Tobias had to show her some respect.Two days later, the mark on Millie's cheek had faded, but there were a few bruises on her body that would take longer to heal. Celia immediately burst into tears when she saw Millie return to the studio."Why are you crying? I'm fine, aren't I?""It's all my fault. If only I hadn't messed up. If only my stomach didn't hurt that day, I could've gone with you. Then, that Thorne guy wouldn't have dared to do anything to you!" Celia cried."How could anyone have known what would happen? It's not your fault. I don't blame yourself, and I haven't given it a second thought." Millie tried to make Celia feel better.

Millie said, "They're quite close, huh?""Is Sammy making things difficult for you because she found out about your relationship with Pierce? Millie, you should break it off. Pierce is more dangerous than you realize," Stefan asked."Thanks for your concern. I'll handle it myself," Millie replied.Millie felt light-headed as she left Leach Manor. She couldn't understand why her chest felt so heavy, so she breathed deeply, forcing herself to calm down.Pierce had saved her multiple times. He was like a savior to her, and she held him in the highest regard. Her respect and admiration for him grew as she began to understand the hardships faced by police officers and soldiers.Thus, despite knowing that men are unreliable, she developed feelings for Pierce. She was upset to learn that Pierce had forbidden feelings for Samantha. However, she quickly regained her composure.Fortunately, she found out about this early. Otherwise, she would be forced to relive her past if she got too inv
