I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Azure had been suppressing her grievances for many years.

When Stella confronted her, she couldn't hold back anymore. "With all those little tricks of yours, just be careful not to end up deserted by everyone," Azure said with resentment. "Aren't you afraid I might expose you and all those dirty things you have done to me? Why not just let everyone see how ugly your heart truly is."

"Heh," Stella scoffed disdainfully, "What does it have to do with me? You think you're any better? I even let you come back this time and just bought you some supplements. I really misjudged."

"Aren't you afraid I'll reveal your true intentions to Terrence Sterling?" Azure exploded in anger. "How can you be so shameless?"

"He's my son, even if there's a conflict between us, he's still my son," Stella retorted coldly. "I can see now it is useless for you to stay here. You better leave my son alone."

Unbeknownst to them, Terrence Sterling had returned home. Seeing that Azure was no longer compliant, Stella was ready to discard her. Azure's eyes reddened with anger; she had never encountered someone as shameless as Stella. Azure was not good at arguing; she appeared strong but was sentimental and sensitive at heart. In the midst of their argument, Azure's angina acted up again, clutching her chest and gasping for breath.

Seeing this in the dining room, Terrence immediately knew what was happening and hurried outside. "Mom," he called out unhappily.

Stella, seeing Terrence had returned, instantly felt somewhat guilty. "Terry, when did you get back?"

Terrence Sterling signaled Azure to go back to her room to take her medication. Azure glanced at Stella and then, clutching her chest, went back to her room.

After Azure left, Stella said, "Terry, I want Azure to leave the capital. Look, you're married now, why should she come back to stir things up? And Meredith is pregnant, isn't she?"

What a peculiar thing to say.

Terrence Sterling, expressionless, replied, "Mom, stop it. Azure came back because you asked her to. Don't think I don't know. Better you don't come here anymore, just call if there's anything." Stella, knowing she was in the wrong, avoided his gaze, stubbornly in denial. "Is it Azure talking nonsense? Why would I ask her back?"

Terrence Sterling, coldly, said, "Mom, don't make things difficult between us, OK?"

"I'm your mother, I'm doing this for your good. I worry Azure might hurt Meredith, is that wrong?" Stella retorted angrily, using anger to cover her guilt. "Fine, I'll leave it be, do whatever you want." With that, Stella left guiltily.

Azure took her medicine in her room, too upset to eat dinner and she went to bed instead. When Justin came out to eat, he didn't see Azure and casually asked, "Where's Miss Azure?" Meredith replied offhandedly, "She might be tired, and she just went to sleep early."

Justin, unaware of what had transpired outside, and Meredith felt no need to recount it.

Looking at Meredith and Terrence Sterling, Justin, feeling a bit ashamed, said, "I went to see my mom this afternoon. Meredith, Terrence, do you already have the evidence?"

Meredith and Terrence Sterling exchanged glances. "We can issue a statement anytime to prove your innocence, but your mom hasn't come to us, which makes it less credible. Still, it's not a big problem," Meredith said. Meredith hadn't expected that the truth she learned back from Reese would come in handy one day.

Justin chuckled self-deprecatingly, "She won't come. She's worried about her paralyzed Tristan and can't leave her five-year-old Gemma. Meredith, I finally see what I inherited from my mom-this soft heart." "Soft hearts bring only unfortune," Terrence Sterling remarked, implying his weakness and self-pity without stating it outright.

Justin nodded. "Right, you're correct. I brought this on myself by not distancing myself from them... None of these could have happened if I didn't..."

Continuing, Justin looked at Meredith and Terrence Sterling, "I've thought it through. I'll issue the statement tomorrow. Also, I'm taking back the apartment. Terrence Sterling, I need a few men from you tomorrow." To drive away Tristan and Mr. Thatcher, Justin couldn't manage alone; he needed Terrence Sterling's assistance.

Meredith expressed concern, "Justin, maybe you shouldn't go. We can have our people handle it."
