Meanwhile, Tobias told Pierce about how Millie had dragged her weakened body around to take charge of the situation in Atkinson Group for more than 30 hours. He made sure that Pierce knew that she was the sole reason Kent didn't gain any advantage over him.Tobias said, "Millie is certainly impressive, Pierce. I've always wondered what lady deserved a hero like you. I mean, you might've married her, but I never thought she was good enough for you. "However, I finally understand that she could hold her own against any man. You can't let her down in any way, Pierce.""Don't worry about it. I won't." Pierce cast an affectionate gaze toward Millie, who was sleeping on the hospital bed. He was reluctant to tear his eyes away from her. Tobias then added, "I'm worried that she might leave you if you let her down in some way, Pierce. With her charm, any wealthy man would want her. On the other hand, you might never find someone like her ever again if you lose her."Pierce was at a loss

If Pierce ever hurt Millie, even just a little, she would retreat immediately, too afraid to take another step forward. So now, dealing with her would require a lot of time and patience."Millie, do you know why they chose me to go undercover?" Pierce asked"Why?" Millie didn't understand why Pierce was bringing this up out of nowhere.Pierce answered, "Because I'm patient enough. I won't reel in the line until the fish bites down completely, no matter how long it takes. When I take on something, I see it through to the end. There's no challenge I can't conquer." He gazed at her with unwavering determination.Millie felt a little embarrassed under his intense stare. "I… I might not be so easy to conquer.""Then let's wait and see," Pierce simply said.Just then, the nurse knocked on the door. "Um… are you done talking? I need to come in and change the IV. Once I'm done, I'll be off my shift."Millie, startled like a frightened rabbit, quickly jumped off Pierce's lap. She scurrie

Millie, in a hospital gown and barefoot, was wandering the street. She appeared disoriented and was muttering to herself. A passerby mistakenly believed that she was mentally ill and called the police. Soon, nearby police located her."Millie?" Jason exclaimed, instantly recognizing her.When Millie saw him, she instinctively wanted to run away.Jason sprinted after her, calling out, "Millie, what's going on? Why are you running?""Let me go!" Millie shouted, struggling in distress. However, overwhelmed by her emotions, she fainted.After that, Jason quickly called Pierce.…As Millie awakened, she found herself in a familiar ward. She stared at the ceiling, her eyes devoid of life and emotion."Millie, are you okay? You're scaring me," Pierce asked in concern.Upon hearing that familiar voice, Millie's mind was flooded with memories. It was the same voice that haunted her from the incident on the boat when she was sexually assaulted. Pierce was such a liar.Pierce took

Pierce said, "I've warned you not to push me. You have no idea who you're dealing with. Millie, I've given you chances time and again. This time, you made the first move. I see no reason to let you go now. "I've been patient, but there are limits. Some things are better left untouched, while others demand our utmost effort. Don't be afraid. This is just the beginning."After that, he decisively left.After Pierce left, Millie collapsed onto the bed, dazed and drenched in sweat. She wondered what kind of person she had offended. Pierce appeared upright and resolute, yet beneath the surface lay paranoia, darkness, and an unsettling air. Millie couldn't bring herself to dwell on it any further.She realized more guards were watching over her, making it nearly impossible to escape the hospital. Anxious for a way out, she unexpectedly encountered Samantha, who was in the same hospital. Samantha was still recovering from a gunshot wound in her leg and was still in her wheelchair.

"So, it was great to give Sammy a lesson." As Pierce drew closer, his warm breath brushed against Millie's cheek, causing her heart to race. Embarrassed, Millie instinctively took a step back. For a brief moment, her mind went blank, and she thought that he might kiss her.Pierce gazed at her intensely, his eyes ablaze with emotion. No longer hiding his feelings, his gaze became unmistakably seductive. It was as though he yearned to consume her entirely. Millie's heart raced wildly and pounded like a drum. She quickly looked away. "Pierce, do you deserve your profession? You know the law but still break it. Aren't you afraid..."He asked, "What should I be afraid of? You can report me for sexually assaulting you, and I'll just plead guilty. Go ahead and sue me.""You think I wouldn't dare to do so?" Millie angrily asked.Pierce remained silent, his gaze fixed on her. Then, he unexpectedly stepped closer and lifted her off the ground."What are you doing? Let me go!" Despite
