I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

The truth was brutally harsh for Bianca.

But someone had to tell her.

She deserved to know.

Terrence Sterling knew they couldn't let an impostor continue deceiving under the guise of the Chaucer family name.

As he poured water for Bianca, Terrence said, "Bianca, forgive me for taking the liberty of revealing this truth to you."

"So it's true. She isn't my daughter," Bianca murmured, her suspicions over the past few days now shockingly confirmed. "Then where is my daughter? Where is she?"

The thought of her biological daughter's unknown whereabouts, whether she was well or suffering, tore Bianca apart.

Detecting the undertones in Bianca's voice, Terrence asked, "You suspected, didn't you?"

Bianca didn't answer directly, quickly composing herself. "Terry, this is all so sudden. I hope you can keep this a secret."

"That's not a problem," Terrence replied. "What do you plan to do?"

Bianca pondered for a moment, "The Chaucer family needs an heir at present."

Terrence understood.

Even if Bianca wasn't the biological mother, she wouldn't expose this, at least not until her real daughter was found. For now, Joy Chaucer remained the daughter of the Chaucer.

Terrence sipped his tea, his tone slightly cold, "Bianca, this is your family matter. How you handle it is not for me to interfere, but Meredith almost got into trouble this time. If I find evidence linking it to Joy Chaucer, I won't be merciful. I hope you understand that."

"What do you mean?" Bianca pressed, "Terry, are you saying Meredith was almost drugged because of Joy? That's impossible. Joy wouldn't do such a thing."

Terrence looked at Bianca, somewhat surprised by her defense even after knowing Joy wasn't her biological daughter.

Setting down his teacup, his tone colder, "Let's hope so. By the way, Ruby Kim is dead, killed in a car accident, just like her mother was-run over repeatedly. Before the accident, she had been following Joy Chaucer."

Bianca caught the implication immediately, horrified. "Terry, are you suggesting... Joy killed Ruby Kim?"

"You know what Joy Chaucer is capable of," Terrence's voice deepened. "Whatever she does, I usually stay out of it, but if she tries to harm Meredith, then she deserves severe punishment. Just be prepared." This was a warning from Terrence, also a heads-up for what might come.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Bianca responded, "Terry, I will look into this and give you an answer."

Previously, Bianca thought Joy Chaucer was merely spoiled. With each recent incident, she realized that Joy's cold-bloodedness and cruelty were far worse than she had imagined.

At the Chaucer residence.

When Bianca returned late, Joy Chaucer and Chloe had already eaten and gone to their rooms.

Alone in her bedroom, Bianca sat on the sofa, pondering the night's events. She pulled out a photo of her late husband, gently touching it, murmuring, "Where is our daughter? Did I do something wrong?" In the middle of the night.

Chloe, noticing the light in Bianca's room, grew curious and knocked on the door.

"Bianca, are you asleep?"

After knocking a few times and noticing the door was ajar, Chloe pushed it open.

Seeing Bianca holding the photo of her late husband, Chloe said, "Bianca, thinking of your husband again?"

The man in the photo had deep-set features and blue eyes.

Putting away the photo and wiping the tears from her eyes, Bianca said, "It's been so many years since he passed, and I still dream of him. He was a gentle and passionate man, a rare find. If it weren't for our child's disappearance, he wouldn't have died in that accident."

"So many years have passed, and you still haven't moved on," Chloe comforted. "How can he rest in peace if you're like this? Look, Joy has been found and you're reunited with your daughter. He would be happy."

Bianca, with a complex look in her eyes, asked Chloe, "After all these years, when do you plan to bring your child back to the Chaucer family?"
