Samantha daren't tell the truth. She could sense that Pierce was serious about Millie. She could accept if Pierce married someone their parents arranged. He wouldn't love the woman, and they would just be married by name. Then, his focus would still be on her, and she could stay close to him, even only as his sister. That was enough for her.But Millie was different. She had taken all of Pierce's attention and affection, leaving Samantha feeling less important. She was no longer the most important person in Pierce's life, and that realization devastated her, but she didn't dare voice her thoughts.She knew Pierce well. He would surely stay away from her if he found out she had such thoughts about him."You looked into her? Did you tell Mom and Dad?""Shouldn't I tell them? Have you ever thought of what would happen to the Atkinson family if people in Arbelton found out you married a tainted woman? Even if you don't care about your own reputation, you should think about Atkinson Gro

"Don't worry. I'll never cheat," Millie yelled angrily. However, her tone was too weak to be convincing."Where were you last night? You didn't go home either.""I was looking for Samantha. She's been acting out, hanging out with all sorts of thugs!" Pierce answered."You stayed out all night?" Millie asked."Yeah, I watched over her at the hotel. I was afraid she would run away," Pierce said calmly. He didn't want her to know that he'd spent the whole night watching over her, unable to sleep.Millie sneered inwardly. These siblings really do care for each other. They even watched over one another even at night. Pierce must like Samantha too. Maybe he was unaware of his feelings, or maybe he knew but was holding back because of the nature of their relationship.Just as she thought of it, Samantha walked in with a bouquet."Millie, I'm here to see you," Samantha said in a much softer tone. She even had a smile on her face. Millie didn't know what Pierce said to her, but he manage

Wanda took a long time to reply, and Samantha saw the screen was stuck on "Typing…"Finally, Wanda sent a short message, "I believe Stefan won't be fooled by her." Samantha rolled her eyes at the screen. It was typical of Wanda to avoid direct confrontation and keep her cool. But Samantha didn't care. As long as Wanda knew what was happening, Millie would face trouble later.Samantha didn't reply but called Pierce instead, "Pierce, where are you?""I'm almost at the hospital. What's up?""Wait for me at the entrance. I'll come find you."Samantha quickly went downstairs and soon saw Pierce's car.Pierce had gone back to the villa to get some food, thinking Millie might not like the bland hospital meals.Even if the food had to be plain, it should still be tasty and healthy.Just as Pierce was about to go upstairs, Samantha stopped him, "Pierce… I need something. Can you get me some sanitary pads?"Pierce frowned. "If you're in so much pain, maybe you should just go home and

"Why are you here?" Millie asked, frowning when she saw Samantha."I came to check on you. Pierce is busy with work and couldn't come," Samantha chirped."How do you know?""Pierce told me. Didn't he let you know? It's fine, though. I'm here to see you."Samantha's happy tone annoyed Millie."Pierce should have come to see you, even if he's busy. You just had surgery. I told him he should come.""No need. I can manage by myself," Millie said firmly."I'm going to sleep now. If you're okay, you can leave.""Alright, I'll come back and see you tomorrow morning."Samantha left with a satisfied smile, clearly pleased with herself.…The next morning, Millie woke up and saw Julian sitting next to her bed."Julian, what are you doing here?" she asked, surprised.She tried to sit up, but it hurt because of her wound, and she winced in pain."Don't move around," Julian said quickly, speaking gently. "Just stay still.""I was worried when you didn't come to the studio yesterday,"

"Why?" Julian shouted, grabbing Pierce by the collar."You knew I liked her. Why did you go after her and take her away from me?" Julian was furious."You've got it wrong," Pierce said calmly. "We were married before you even showed interest in her. You're the one who was chasing after my wife.""Then why didn't you tell me right away? Was this just a game to you?" Julian's voice shook with frustration."I'm sorry," Pierce said. "Because our marriage was private, we couldn't tell anyone. I tried to warn you that she wasn't available. I told you she was already married."Julian was shocked. He had thought Pierce was just being biased before, and he didn't realize it meant they were actually married.Millie had never given him hope, and then she admitted she was with someone else. It was his own fault—he had been fooling himself.Julian's face was full of frustration, but he quickly calmed down.He took a deep breath and said, "I'm too late. I give up. I won't bother you while yo
