Semua Bab I'm Out of Your League Now: Bab 141 - Bab 150

Tobias quickly covered his mouth. "If Pierce didn't tell you, he must have his reasons. Just pretend I never said anything.""Too late."Millie strode forward and began eavesdropping.Inside, Geroge spoke earnestly."It's just an apology, a few simple words, and it could save Atkinson Group billions in losses! Isn't that a worthwhile trade? I only wish the Leach Group would let me apologize instead. I'd bring my whole family to their door!""We weren't at fault. We didn't initiate the contract termination, so why should we apologize?" Pierce frowned."But is it true that Mrs. Atkinson hit his fiancée-to-be like what Mr. Leach said?""They deserved it.""Whether they deserved it or not, the party that throws the first punch is always in the wrong! And right now, they're in the right."Stefan hadn't publicly stated the reason for canceling the partnership, leaving the outside world speculating wildly about what happened between the two companies. But the board members of both co

Before Millie could speak, Stefan let out a mocking laugh as if he were certain she would call."Ms. Jordan, to what do I owe the pleasure?" His tone was sarcastic."Didn't you want me to apologize? I'll apologize…""Are you kidding me? Do you think just saying a few harmless words over the phone counts as an apology? I want you to come over and kneel in front of Wanda to apologize, and let her slap you ten times. Otherwise, I won't be satisfied.""So, do you hate me because I slapped Wanda, or because I deceived you?"There was silence on the other end."Stefan, I told you a long time ago that I had a boyfriend. You didn't believe me. I even told you I wished you and Wanda well, but you were too confident and thought I was just playing hard to get.""You could accept me being Pierce's mistress, thinking I had fallen from grace. But being his wife was unacceptable because that would mean I was beyond your pity, right? I know you're a control freak. Even after we broke up, you st

Millie kept retreating, but her hands were tied, leaving her little room to maneuver. She was both furious and anxious."Stefan, if you dare lay a finger on me, I swear I'll kill you!"Stefan scoffed at her words."Are you scared? Are you afraid that if I do something to you, Pierce will abandon you?""No, he won't abandon me!""Oh? Being defiled before marriage and being defiled after marriage are two different things. A man might not care about a woman's past before marriage, but it's a different story after marriage."It was like how he felt about Wanda. Even if she had been married before, it didn't matter as long as she was completely his after marriage.Men were all the same. He didn't believe Pierce was any different."Stefan! Don't you dare, or I will make your life a living hell. I will tell Wanda…""I'll just say you seduced me.""You... How did you become like this?"Millie was utterly shocked. Stefan had once been such a good person, but now he had become so dark

Millie's heart jolted at Stefan's words. What did he mean by that? Was it such a big deal just because he had taken a few bites out of her? Did he think he was part of her now?She quickly realized that Pierce must have misunderstood. Her gaze trembled as she looked at him, and he was staring back at her. Their eyes met, and she knew Pierce had gotten the wrong idea.She rushed to explain, "No... it's not like that. Nothing happened between us. Pierce... believe me."Stefan laughed. "Pierce, look at her. She's so desperate to please you that she's even spinning this kind of lie."Pierce's face turned dark, and he remained silent while taking her to the car. The front of the car was severely damaged. One could only imagine how desperately Pierce had used the vehicle to crash through the iron gate.He opened the car door and carefully placed her in the passenger seat, even fastening her seatbelt for her."Pierce..."She instinctively grabbed his sleeve.Before she could say more,

The kiss quickly escalated out of control. Pierce's hands began to wander, lifting her clothing and gripping her. Millie found that she wasn't repelled by his closeness, but she didn't want it to happen in this unclear and distressing situation.She struggled with all her might. "Pierce, what do you think of me?""You're no different from Stefan right now!" she shouted angrily, feeling deeply wronged and her eyes welling up with tears.Pierce's body stiffened sharply at her words, his heart aching as if it were being torn apart. He shouldn't be the abuser!He hurriedly returned to his seat and rolled down the window, letting the night breeze in.Millie felt helpless and gathered her clothes to cover herself."I'm sorry," Pierce finally spoke after a long silence. "I lost control. I shouldn't have treated you like this.""So you always thought this way about me? No matter what I said about not loving Stefan, you thought I was lying, that I still had a place for him in my heart."
