The man from Millie's dream was the key to all this. He could surely provide her with some much-needed answers and unravel the mystery. After that, Millie put the documents back the way they were. Then, she returned to her room and pretended as if nothing unusual happened. Stefan returned home in the evening and even brought back her favorite cake. "Why the sour look?" he asked in a concerned tone and lovingly rubbed her head. Millie fought off the urge to throw up and managed to hold herself back from stopping him. "It's nothing. I'm probably feeling a little awful because the wind from before was too cold.""I told you, Millie. You're very weak, and you can't stand the cold, not even a little. That's why you should stop thinking about going outside from now on," Stefan said."Okay. Whatever you say goes," Millie casually responded. Then, Stefan said, "Go downstairs for dinner. I'll ask the chef to make you something nutritious. That ought to reinvigorate you a little."S

"You... You better not do anything reckless. My family will be here any minute!" Millie warned.She got up from the ground, but her foot hurt so much that she limped as she walked."There's no one here. It's just the two of us. You're so pretty..." the man said while reaching out, trying to touch her face. Millie was so terrified that she quickly stepped back."Come on, let me hold you. I haven't hugged a woman in so long," the man insisted. He lunged at Millie, and the stench of alcohol hit her face. Millie's stomach churned. She limped forward, desperate to get away from him.However, the drunkard relentlessly chased after her while spewing obscene words without restraint. Millie was absolutely terrified.Finally, a light appeared ahead. The car's high beams were so bright that she could barely keep her eyes open. So, she raised her hand to shield her eyes. Just then, someone stepped out of the car. When the person saw that Millie was dressed lightly, they immediat

Tobias hadn't expected Millie to behave like this. He exclaimed, "How could you do this to Pierce?""Let Stefan go!" Millie ordered.Tobias didn't move."Let him go."It wasn't until Pierce spoke that Tobias finally released his grip. Stefan looked at Millie with satisfaction before taking her hand. He then turned to Pierce and said, "We've been out all night. Sorry for troubling you, Mr. Atkinson, but we should be heading back now."Pierce remained silent, his gaze dark and unreadable as he watched them leave. No one knew what was going through his mind.Millie didn't dare to look back. She was afraid that Pierce might see the tears which had slid down her cheeks.Mechanically, she followed Stefan out and left the hospital. But the moment she was inside the car, she finally broke down. Feeling torn, she bent over and covered her face as she sobbed uncontrollably.Upon hearing her cries, Stefan frowned in displeasure. "You shouldn't have sneaked out to meet him.""Are you

After Mark left, Millie let go of Stefan right away. Her gaze was icy cold as she stared at him.Just then, Stefan's phone rang.He was completely drunk and slumped over. The incessant ringing was too loud, so Millie instinctively reached over to silence it.But the number flashing on the screen was an international one, and Stefan had even named the caller "Golden Triangle".Millie knew exactly what that meant. The Golden Triangle was a lawless zone in the open waters of Solandra. It was at the borders of Nebron, Lyza, and Droland, where crime and evil thrived daily.Acting on impulse, Millie pressed the answer button.A hoarse voice came from the other end, "Mr. Leach, you're not keeping your end of the bargain. We had an agreement to work together to eliminate Pierce. So why did you go back on your word? "Lately, Atkinson Group has been putting a lot of pressure on us, but I'm willing to give you one more chance to work with us. But if you betray us again, we won't just ki

"Don't move around. You're still very weak. The doctor said to give you some oatmeal porridge when you wake up. Your digestive system is still quite weak, so you need to eat something that goes down easily."A familiar voice sounded in Millie's ears."G-Grandpa? Why are you here? Where's Pierce? Pierce? Pierce…" After a moment of silence, Millie mumbled, "I forgot… Pierce is dead. Not even his body remains.""What nonsense are you speaking, child? Isn't he lying right beside you?" Bill interjected.Millie visibly froze for a second. Then, she whipped her head around to look. As Bill had said, Pierce was indeed right beside her. Layers of gauze were wrapped around his body, and he seemed to be heavily injured. However, his vital signs were steady, and his heartbeat was rhythmic—he was no longer in a critical condition."Pierce…" Millie tumbled out of bed without a care for the pain in her limbs.Bill quickly went over to support her and combined their beds together."H-How is t
