Julian dropped Millie off at the entrance of the nursing home only for her to unexpectedly run into Pierce.Pierce had also just arrived and was stepping out of the car when he noticed Julian's vehicle. His expression turned sour."Should I go explain last night's situation to Pierce? It'd be bad if he misunderstood," Julian said."There's no need. He's not the petty type. He doesn't…" Millie trailed off.Pierce didn't care about her like that. But she left the last few words unspoken nevertheless.Julian then turned his car around and drove off as Pierce approached Millie."Why were you two together?" he asked."I had a problem with my car tire. So, I sent it away for repairs. It's hard to get a cab in the morning, so Julian gave me a ride," Millie answered."So, you stayed over at his place last night." Pierce's tone was icy."I dropped him off last night, and he threw up on my clothes. Mrs. Saville insisted that I clean up before leaving. And since it was getting late, th

"I knew that they wouldn't have let me starve to death, Pierce. But when you're starving, your mind shuts down. You have no idea what it feels like to be in extreme starvation," Millie began.She continued, "After going without food for three days, I couldn't even think straight. I could barely drag myself around. My vision was blurry, and I started to see things that weren't there. At that point, I would have eaten anything."It felt like countless hands were reaching up from my stomach to my throat, begging me to swallow something. All I could do was drink water until I eventually vomited and had to rush to the bathroom. But even after that brief moment of satisfaction, it was still endless hunger."I was jolted awake by hunger in the middle of the night and struggled to fall back asleep. Eventually, exhaustion overcame me, but I still felt the ache of hunger lingering in my dreams."I was so scared that I took a risk and escaped from the balcony. At that moment, I really thought

Julian's steps froze, and his fists clenched tightly. He knew he had violated his moral principles and was despicable. However…He turned around and looked straight at Pierce. "I know I shouldn't be doing this, but you've let me down so much. You can't give her the protection and fulfillment she deserves, so why not just let go and allow someone better suited to take over?""Someone more suitable? You?" Pierce sarcastically asked. "Aren't I? Do you really deserve to be with her? Why…""How do you know I don't? I'll tell you the truth—I've been plotting this for a long time. It's not something that can be achieved overnight." Pierce icily interrupted Julian and menacingly marched toward him. He was like a demon from the depths of hell. Julian felt his back slick with sweat, but he refused to back down even an inch. After all, to retreat would be admitting defeat.Then, Pierce said, "I admit that I carelessly hurt her this time, but such a thing will never happen again. Please

When Millie overheard the scandalous conversation, her ears turned red in embarrassment. Goodness, what were young ladies thinking these days? She cleared her throat to remind them to be more discreet. Immediately, the maids fell silent and quickly went back to their tasks. Then, after grabbing her phone, Millie left. …About half an hour later, Pierce descended the stairs in a fully buttoned suit with a perfectly tied tie. He exuded an air of restraint that contrasted with his earlier athletic appearance, intensifying his allure."Should I drive you to work?" he asked."No need. I will drive there myself. Otherwise, it'll be difficult to return later." Millie rejected his offer.Pierce pressed his lips together but said nothing more. After that, they both ate breakfast very quietly. Pierce was the type who never spoke while eating, and this gave people the impression that he was a calm and composed individual.It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was aloof. I

"The gun can't kill anyone! It can only cause minor injuries." Someone had figured out that the gun was a deception.Millie had gotten the gun from Thomas. If it could severely injure people, they would all be arrested by the police."Millie, you should go…" Sharon said. Then, she lunged forward and hugged the bodyguard at the front, wanting to buy Millie some time to escape. However, the door was locked from the outside and couldn't be opened in a short time. Besides, Sharon had a small physique too and couldn't buy that much more time for Millie.When Millie saw that the bodyguard was about to hit Sharon on the spine with his elbow, Millie's heart raced. She quickly rushed over to the bodyguard and blocked him from hitting Sharon with her arm.Suddenly, there was a cracking sound, and Millie's face paled in pain. For a moment, she didn't know if she had a fracture or a dislocation. Either way, her right arm was limp and numb. Was her arm crippled now?"What are you waiti
