I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Chapter 468: The Enemy in the Shadows



Meredith said, "Reese, the person a woman should love most is herself. You need to live for yourself."

Reese had been supporting her family from a young age. If she didn't change her mindset, she would be burdened by her upbringing.

All women have a desire to be beautiful and to improve themselves. If someone is willing to give them a hand and they still refuse to stand up, then they deserve to live a miserable life. Thinking about all the years she had sacrificed for her family, Reese made up her mind and said, "Miss Thornfield, I want to sign up. I will learn dancing from you."

"Not from me directly," Azure said. "I will arrange for other teachers to instruct you. You don't need to reach any particular level; just cultivate a hobby and improve your demeanor." As a top-tier dancer, Azure didn't have time to teach an amateur.

Reese understood. Paying twenty thousand dollars a year was already the biggest discount Azure could offer her; she couldn't take advantage of it further.

"Alright," Reese said confidently. "Meredith, Miss Thornfield, with your help, I will definitely transform. Maybe I can even find a man who loves me and have a perfect family." Reese longed for love and family.

Meredith smiled and said, "Anything is possible. When flowers bloom, the breeze will come."

"Okay, I want to change myself." Reese clenched her fist, cheering herself on.

Meredith laughed and said, "You should first hide your income from your family. Keep your wealth to yourself; success comes through secrecy, failure through disclosure."

Reese took the advice seriously: "Alright, I'll listen to you from now on."

Reese's greatest strength was that she took advice well.

As the three women chatted, Reese noticed kiss marks on Meredith's neck. With little experience in such matters, she thought Meredith was hurt and asked, "Meredith, did a mosquito bite your neck?" Azure also noticed but didn't say anything to avoid embarrassing Meredith.

Meredith joked, "Yes, even in winter, mosquitoes are rampant. It was a very big mosquito."

Terrence Sterling, chatting nearby with Harvey Fieldmouse and Mr. Fielding, suddenly sneezed. Who was talking about him behind his back?

Azure couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Yes, a very big mosquito with two legs."

Azure and Meredith exchanged a knowing smile.

Reese asked seriously, "Miss Thornfield, how do you know mosquitoes have two legs? Don't they have many legs? Is it some special species?"

Her earnestness made Meredith and Azure laugh even harder.

Reese was so innocent.

A thirty-seven-year-old innocent woman.

Reese thought Azure and Meredith were well-educated and believed there really were two-legged mosquitoes.

Meredith laughed and said, "Reese, you really should get a boyfriend. Then you'll know what two-legged mosquitoes look like."

Seeing Reese still confused, Azure explained with a smile: "Those are kiss marks, not mosquito bites. Meredith was joking with you."

Realizing this, Reese wasn't embarrassed; instead, she laughed along with everyone else. Her cheerful personality made Azure appreciate her even more.

As it was almost time for the banquet to start, Terrence Sterling walked over to Meredith. As the hosts of the event, they needed to go on stage to thank the guests. Meredith stood up and let Terrence Sterling lead her onto the stage while Stella handed Little Lucky to her.

Terrence Sterling began his speech while Meredith held their daughter beside him. The image of the three of them together was very happy.

Terrence Sterling's deep and magnetic voice echoed through the banquet hall: "Thank you all for coming to my daughter Livia's hundred-day celebration. My wife Meredith and I are very happy and grateful for your presence. Here today, I also want to thank one special person-my wife."

Hundreds of guests witnessed the addition of a new member to the Sterling family and their happiest moment.

Terrence Sterling looked at Meredith with deep affection: "My dear, thank you for giving me a home and such a lovely daughter. I love you, our daughter, and our home. Today, in front of so many friends and family members, I want to tell you that you are my chosen wife for this lifetime. My greatest wish is to make you happy and grow old with you."

Who had ever seen such an affectionate and straightforward Terrence Sterling?

In business circles, Terrence Sterling was always serious and stern; yet in front of her, he was so tender.

The guests were also moved by this rare display of tenderness.

In a corner of the banquet hall, Ethan Channing watched the happy family on stage with a sneer: "Terrence Sterling, enjoy this last moment of happiness because soon you'll face your deserved retribution."
