I'm Out of Your League Now의 모든 챕터: 챕터 131 - 챕터 140

Wanda cried out, "I didn't mean anything by it. I just mentioned it casually. I never said it was you. Why did you slap me?"Everyone in the room stared at Millie in surprise.Millie's face went pale. Her reaction seemed even more shocking now that Wanda's comment had revealed the truth.She didn't want to look at the others, especially Bill, because she was afraid of his reaction."I'm sorry… I didn't mean to. I made a mistake. I didn't want to hurt you. I just reacted when you slapped me…"Wanda cried like she was a child being scolded.Millie was so angry that she almost slapped Wanda again, but an elderly person stepped in."I can confirm that Wanda didn't mention you. I was the one who brought it up first. It was your slap that made the truth come out."Honestly, I used to feel sorry for you, but now, seeing how you're acting, it's clear you're not just a victim. You're being unreasonable."The elderly's words made Millie look bad instead of helping her."You shouldn't b

Millie had managed to keep her family together despite all the difficulties. Even though people criticized her, she held her head high and refused to give up."I will protect you," Pierce promised firmly.He was furious with Stefan for neglecting Millie just to celebrate Wanda's birthday. Pierce wanted to make things right for Millie.Within half an hour, things started to change at the nursing home. The elderly people who had been gossiping were taken away by their families. Their relatives came to apologize, promising to make sure such gossip wouldn't happen again.Millie was touched."You don't need to do this. The news has already spread. There's no hiding it now.""Even if the whole world is talking, I want to silence their chatter," Pierce said quietly but seriously.He thought to himself that as the president of Atkinson Group, he should be able to protect his family just as he had protected many others in the past."Thank you," Millie said with a warm feeling inside. He

"Mrs. Leach Senior, I would have been willing to trade my life for Stefan's if I were there that day," Wanda said pitifully."I know how much you love him, so just sign this," Agnes responded, unimpressed by Wanda's hypocrisy. She had seen and experienced too much in her life. Wanda's little tricks didn't stand a chance."If you don't sign, it proves that you love the Leach family's wealth, not Stefan himself!"Wanda glanced at Stefan, who stood silently, frowning. If she didn't sign, Stefan would surely begin to doubt her. But if she did sign, and things didn't work out between them in the future, she'd walk away with nothing."Wanda, if this is the only way Grandma will give her blessing, then sign it. I love you, and I always will. Time will prove that I'll never let you down," Stefan reassured her."Of course, after you marry Stefan, I won't let you down either. You'll have a monthly allowance of fifty thousand dollars, deducted from a trust fund. It can't be withdrawn as cash

Seeing that Millie was hesitating, Agnes was about to kneel to beg her. She was truly desperate. Stefan was all she had left after losing Gracie years ago. She couldn't bear to see Stefan fall into ruin.Agnes started to lower herself to the ground in the bustling airport.Millie quickly stopped her, overwhelmed by the gesture. "I promise. If it comes to that, I'll help Stefan through it.""Good child, you're such a good child," Agnes said with tears streaming down her face. "That foolish boy, if only he had half your sense."After an emotional farewell, Millie left the airport, feeling a sense of melancholy. She took a cab back and heard on the radio that the Leach Group had cut off all ties with the Atkinson Group, officially ending their cooperation. The news sent shockwaves through the city, as the two most powerful families in Arbelton were now at odds, forcing others to choose sides.Both families would suffer significant losses, but Stefan didn't seem to care. Millie felt a

"You scared them away," Millie said irritably. But just as she stood up, she was pulled into a warm embrace."I'm all dirty…" she muttered, trying to pull away, but Pierce only held her tighter."Why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to stay put? The more you worry and rush out, the more pleased he gets. How did I not see before how awful his character is? He can't handle losing—""Can we not talk about him?" he interrupted her, clearly not wanting to hear Stefan's name.Not sure what was wrong, Millie simply nodded obediently.His embrace chased away the chill of the night air that had clung to her.Not far away, Stefan watched the scene unfold and felt a sharp sting in his eyes. The woman who had been devoted to him for three years and depended on him for everything had moved on so quickly and found someone new, leaving him behind.He even started to doubt that those three years meant anything, that maybe she had only been pretending, stringing him along. Now that she had fo
