Eager to mock Millie, Wanda continued, "You losing to me is only a matter of time. If I were you, I'd kneel and beg for mercy now. Maybe I'd let you off the hook."Millie ignored her completely."I'll keep my eyes peeled and see just how long you can keep up this act," Wanda snapped, clearly infuriated.Just then, Pierce approached them with Charlotte by his side."Millie, you really came. I made a bet with Pierce that you wouldn't show up. Looks like I lost!" Charlotte said cheerfully."Well, you should honor your bet then," Pierce replied."What reward do you want?" Charlotte asked, looking at him with curiosity.The next second, Pierce leaned down and kissed her cheek.The surrounding guests erupted into cheers. They glanced at Millie, trying to gauge her reaction and wondering if the ex-wife would break down on the spot.However, Millie remained calm with a faint smile on her face. Her relationship with Pierce was in the past. Now, Pierce and Charlotte were getting engaged

Millie somehow managed to muster the strength to kick the man hard. He tumbled off the bed and fell onto the floor unceremoniously.She rushed to turn on the light, but it wouldn't turn on no matter how she flicked the switch. Was the switch broken? Or was there a power outage?"What's wrong? Are you unhappy with my service?" The man's voice was particularly hoarse, as if he were deliberately lowering it.Millie wasn't very familiar with Tristan and couldn't tell if it was his voice. Now that the effects of the alcohol were wearing off, her mind felt tightly strung. This was a disaster!"I told you to go to my friend's room, didn't I? She's the one who you should spend the night with," Millie said nervously."Oh? Is that so?" The man's tone lifted slightly.Millie suddenly felt as if the atmosphere in the room had shifted. The initial tension and sense of danger seemed to relax a bit. Was she imagining things because of the alcohol?"So, you don't need me? You hired the top esco

"What exactly do you mean?" Millie asked."What do you mean by that?" Pierce retorted."Why did you sneak into my house in the middle of the night, pretending to be Tristan?" Millie probed."In the middle of the night? Which night?" Pierce responded."Last night!" Millie yelled."Last night was my engagement banquet. I didn't leave early," Pierce argued. Millie almost burst out laughing in frustration. Sure, Pierce didn't leave early, but he used the excuse of being drunk to stay out of sight the entire time. Wasn't that the same thing?"Pierce, when did you become so shameless and act so pretentious? Where's your sense of decency? You even admitted to what you did on the ship. What else are you afraid to admit?" Millie thundered. Pierce stayed silent in the face of her rage.Millie ranted, "Since you're now engaged, go live your life with Charlotte as you should. We're already divorced, so stop interfering with my life! And as for this order, I'm not taking it. However, I'l

What? Mentally ill? How could a perfectly normal person like Pierce develop a dissociative identity disorder? And was this his alternate personality?"Why… why would he suddenly develop a dissociative identity disorder? He was fine all this while.""Back then, he suffered intense trauma when he was kidnapped, and that was when I emerged. At first, I wasn't that strong, but Pierce slowly let his guard down because of you."Pierce suddenly moved closer. His deep eyes were filled with unfathomable shadows as he stared obsessively at her. Millie's face turned pale with fear, and a cold sweat broke out all over her body."Millie, I'm not as easygoing as that useless piece of shit."He suddenly shot her a venomous smile. Then, without warning, he scooped her up and carried her to the bedroom. Once there, he threw her roughly onto the bed. Then, he began taking off his clothes and his belt."What… what are you doing?" Millie asked, scared."Can't you tell? I'm going to fuck you."

"No. It's okay. We can take our time learning the business side of things. I won't try to escape anymore. I've decided to stay by your side because I'm completely taken in by your charm. I also think you should take over Pierce's body. He's a total jerk for keeping you hidden for so long!" Millie said.Even though those words struck a chord with Piercy, he wasn't completely clueless. He knew Millie was trying to make him happy by flattering him. Even so, he had to admit those words were indeed pleasant to hear.He couldn't suppress his smile as he nodded satisfactorily. "You're pretty perceptive.""Of course. From now on, I'll stay by your side to help you manage Atkinson Group. We'll make it bigger and better than Pierce ever did so that everyone will see you in a whole new light. Once Pierce finds out you're doing better than him, he might feel so ashamed that he'll never want to emerge again.""I like the sound of that."It would be hard to control Pierce since he could be very
