I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Bianca's words struck Chloe with such a shock that her face was a mask of disbelief.

Chloe had a secret, one about having a child that no one knew. How could Bianca possibly know?

A flicker of panic crossed Chloe's eyes, betraying her guilt.

Bianca, however, remained calm, her gaze fixed on Chloe, waiting for her response.

Chloe quickly regained her composure and feigned ignorance. "What are you talking about? I don't understand. What child are you referring to? You must be mistaken, or perhaps confused." Chloe denied it.

"Mistaken?" Bianca chuckled to herself, then turned to a photograph of her late husband and muttered, "Mistaken."

"Bianca?" Chloe was confused by Bianca's rambling, feeling increasingly unsettled. "What's gotten into you today?"

Bianca glanced at Chloe and spoke with implied meaning, "I heard today that Joy got a deal and signed the contract. A promising young talent, no wonder she's one of our family."

"Yes, it went well," Chloe replied with a forced laugh. "She even managed to get an extra two percent. Bianca, you can trust Joy to take over the company."

"The Chaucer family has an unwritten rule: only the first born child can be the head of the family. Joy is the sole child of this family, naturally making her the sole heir. There's no rush," Bianca explained, deliberately delaying to assess whether Joy Chaucer truly deserved to inherit.

Bianca was definitely not confused by age; she had suspicions already, and the evidence provided today by Terrence Sterling only confirmed her guesses.

Joy Chaucer was not her daughter, but she truly was a part of the family, as Joy Chaucer was Chloe's daughter.

Bianca knew it all along; she didn't need to prove anything, the memories of the years were enough for her to know.

Her daughter had not been found; it was Chloe's daughter who had returned.

Chloe always sensed an underlying message in Bianca's words but couldn't quite grasp the meaning.

"Alright, Bianca, you decide. I wasn't qualified to join the company back then, and now that Joy is your daughter, of course, you have the final say. I'm just her aunt; what can I decide?" Chloe's tone was tinged with sarcasm. Bianca ignored Chloe's sarcasm, her head bowed as she stroked her late husband's photograph, lost in thought.

Chloe, looking at the photograph of the man, felt a chill run down her spine.

If she hadn't stolen the child back then, Bianca's husband might not have died in that car accident.

Feeling guilty, Chloe averted her eyes and said, "Bianca, you should rest early. I'm going back to my room."

"Alright," Bianca nodded without looking up at Chloe.

Chloe closed the door behind her, her heart pounding.

Bianca, hearing the departing footsteps, looked up at the closed door and murmured to herself, "Chloe has always been so strong-willed. As her sister, how could I not support her? If Joy is truly suitable to run the company, I would naturally step aside." Bianca was somewhat discontented; Chloe's daughter was right before her eyes, yet for the sake of the company, she preferred not to acknowledge her.

How could she not acknowledge her own daughter if she returned?

Bianca left it unspoken; Chloe's denial was her own affair.

But this extended Joy Chaucer's observation period.

Everyone has their own motives, and Bianca naturally wanted to find her own daughter and leave the company entirely to her.

That night.

Chloe tossed and turned, sensing that Bianca might know something. Otherwise, why would she suddenly bring up the child she had?

How much did Bianca know?

Why hadn't she pressed further just now?

Did Bianca suspect anything about Joy Chaucer's origins?

Chloe was fraught with anxiety, realizing she needed to hasten the process of transferring the company to Joy Chaucer.

The next day.

Bianca rose early and was waiting in the dining room for Chloe and Joy Chaucer to have breakfast.

"Mom, you're up early," Joy Chaucer said as she came downstairs, hugging Bianca and planting a kiss on her neck.

Bianca smiled and then looked towards Chloe following behind, "Chloe, come sit down and eat."

Chloe felt a twinge of jealousy seeing her own daughter being affectionate towards someone else.

The three sat down to eat together. Joy Chaucer, trying to please, spread some tomato sauce on a slice of bread for Bianca. "Here, mom, eat this."

"I don't like tomato sauce," Bianca said with a smile. "Give it to your Aunt Chloe, she likes it."

Joy Chaucer handed it to Chloe, "Chloe, here, it's for you."

Chloe took it with a smile and said to Bianca, "Bianca, look how considerate Joy is becoming, always thinking of you first."

"Engaged now, it does make a difference," Bianca remarked. "I've been thinking, maybe I should talk to the Aubrey family about moving up the wedding date."
