"Stefan, what are you doing?"What if those people heard his threats and didn't dare to take action anymore? Then how could she catch them all in one fell swoop and avenge Pierce?"Can't you see that I'm protecting you? No one will dare to hurt you as long as I'm here today. We live and die together! Millie, I won't give up on you this time!" Stefan looked at her with a rare determination in his eyes.In contrast, Millie was extremely angry. Stefan tried to reach out for her white veil, but she hurriedly stepped back.Who did Stefan think he was to dare lift her veil? "Stefan, I don't need your protection. Leave right now!"But Stefan refused to listen."Stefan!" Millie furiously started. Suddenly, Tobias slipped something into her hand—it was a syringe."It was taken from the tranquilizer gun…" he whispered.Millie immediately understood what he meant. She needed to deal with Stefan quickly to prevent him from ruining the plan. So, she had no choice but to move closer to

Millie quickly turned on the lights because she knew that turning them off would give away her position. However, with her vision obstructed, it would also be difficult for her to shoot accurately.She retreated into the bathroom and guarded the doorway. It was a position where she could hold off numerous people on her own. Before she ran out of bullets, she would take down as many people as she could.Just then, the door was kicked open—someone had found their way here.Millie noticed that he was still aimlessly searching in the room, so she took the opportunity and fired a shot.Unfortunately, she missed, and the bullet struck his right hand instead."Damn it! You're here!" The man turned toward the bathroom, his eyes were filled with fury. He ignored the excruciating pain in his hand and fired multiple shots into the bathroom.Millie was terrified and promptly hid behind the door.Meanwhile, the man's footsteps grew closer.Millie didn't dare to show herself, so she grabbed

"How's everyone?" Millie asked."Mr. Sommers and I might have gotten off the lightest among everyone." Tobias felt a bit embarrassed. His shooting skills weren't that great, so he had been the one needing protection. Thinking about it made him feel even more ashamed."What about the others?""Five of our people died, 11 were severely injured, and the rest had minor injuries."Upon hearing this, Millie's heart felt heavy. She said, "Make sure the families of those people are properly compensated, but not under the name of compensation. Find other ways and various forms to provide support. Otherwise, those smugglers might seek revenge and trace their families through this. "Our good intentions could backfire and end up harming them instead.""Don't worry, I will," Tobias responded.Compensating the families was a difficult matter. It might be easier if it were for the families of regular police officers, but in cases involving anti-narcotics and anti-smuggling officers, even if c

"That fool… He could've sat on a chair. Why is he just standing there like a bodyguard?" Millie worriedly said.How could she possibly fall asleep? All she could think about was what she would do if Pierce decided to stay in this line of work.She feared that she didn't have the courage to relive this horrific experience for the second time. At this moment, she started questioning their relationship again.If it were any other man, they couldn't love her the way Pierce did, nor could they match his greatness. However, they could at least give her a sense of security.But what about Pierce? Just the thought of him brought her to tears.Time passed, yet Pierce still foolishly stood outside her door. Millie couldn't bear it any longer, so she let him in.Although there was light in the hallway and the room was bright, it couldn't dispel the shadow that loomed over him. Pierce simply stood there, his eyes resembling those of a child who had done something wrong and was at a loss.

"I… I would…" Wanda stammered. Yet, her eyes flickered and diffidently darted around."Do you even believe yourself?" Stefan sneered.Then, he roughly let go of her face and took out a piece of wet tissue to wipe his fingers down like he'd just touched something dirty.Wanda fell to the ground. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palm and drew blood. But in the next moment, she got up and haughtily smoothed her brittle hair."So, you've finally come to your senses, Stefan," she said with a scoff. Since she wouldn't get anything out of this, she thought there was no longer any need to pretend anymore.She continued, "I thought you'd continue to be blind for the rest of your life. But then, I'd managed to fool you for so many years. I think I did pretty well. To be honest, I did love you before. But after my parents killed themselves and my family went bankrupt, love became absolutely worthless to me."I wanted to marry you and live a financially stable li
