I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Ethan Channing's conditions were all accepted by Meredith. She didn't care about anything else; as long as there was a clue about Terrence, she wouldn't let it slip. Ethan Channing was the only one who could provide clues now, and she was determined to make him talk. Meredith was also grateful for the powerful backing of the French royal family; otherwise, how could she have managed all this? She would have found it difficult even to meet Ethan Channing. Meredith personally went back to Ravenwood to bring Leyton Sterling to the hospital to see Ethan Channing. Leyton Sterling had returned last night, sneaking in through the backyard. He had been to the docks and roughly knew what had happened there. He also knew that Ethan Channing had been captured. With his backing gone, how could he fight against Terrence in the future? Just as he was feeling regretful, he learned that something had happened to Terrence as well, which made him extremely happy. If Terrence didn't come back, everything in the Sterling family would be his.

Leyton Sterling was still daydreaming in his backyard room. He didn't consider that even without Terrence, there were still Meredith and Little Lucky; how could it be his turn? The inheritance of the Sterling family didn't necessarily have to go to a man. Compared to a collateral branch, Little Lucky, the legitimate granddaughter of the Sterling family, was more qualified to inherit everything.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door. Then, someone used a key to break in directly. Leyton Sterling sat up from his bed and saw Meredith entering with some people. He immediately pretended to be foolish again, clutching his hands fearfully and looking at Meredith timidly while shouting, "Julian, Julian."

"Leyton Sterling, stop pretending," Meredith said without wasting words on him. She signaled to the bodyguards she brought along, who immediately stepped forward and grabbed Leyton Sterling to take him out.

"Let go of me! Let go of me!" Leyton Sterling was very scared and didn't know what was happening. Terrence was missing; why wasn't Meredith looking for Terrence instead of him? The commotion he made drew Julian and Stella from the front yard.

"Julian, Julian, save me," Leyton Sterling continued his act, "They are bad; she's trying to catch me."

Julian, not understanding the situation, asked Meredith, "Meredith, what's going on? Where are you taking Leyton?"

Meredith gave Leyton Sterling a cold look and said, "All this trouble is caused by him; he has to pay for it. Ten years ago, he was the one who drove and killed Ethan Channing's parents! That's why Ethan Channing has been secretly targeting Terrence all along. Leyton Sterling has been colluding with Ethan Channing behind our backs! Now only Ethan Channing knows Terrence's whereabouts. His condition is Leyton Sterling; I'm taking him to exchange." Hearing this, Julian and Stella were both shocked and bewildered. Leyton Sterling was also stunned; he just realized that ten years ago, he had killed Ethan Channing's parents in that accident. No wonder Ethan Channing had always been against Terrence because of this incident. Knowing that he had killed Ethan Channing's parents meant Ethan would surely flay him alive.

"No, I won't go," Leyton Sterling pleaded with Julian for help, "Julian, save me."

Stella was the first to react; her face darkened as she said, "Leyton Sterling, you ungrateful wretch! Stop pretending; you are a scourge. Meredith, take him over there and hand him over to that Ethan Channing or whatever his name is. Let him deal with it however he wants; we must find Terry."

Stella didn't care about others' lives; she only cared about her son. Between her son and her nephew, Julian naturally chose the former as well.

Julian said, "Meredith, you must find Terry; this family depends on you."

Whether it was back when Terrence got into trouble or now, Stella and Julian had no ideas and relied entirely on Meredith. They didn't even know that Meredith hadn't slept all night and had fainted in the hospital. Darcy DuMont felt heartbroken seeing his daughter like this and pressured the police to find Terrence as soon as possible.

While Meredith took Leyton Sterling to the hospital, a luxury car appeared in a village more than a hundred kilometers away from Auroraville. The houses in this village were scattered and not concentrated; there were considerable distances between them.

The car drove into a small villa's yard and stopped there. Joy Chaucer got out of the car. She took off her glasses and looked around before entering the house. She went upstairs and pushed open a room door.

Inside the room were two doctors in white coats examining a man's eyes on the bed. Joy Chaucer remained silent; she stood about four or five meters away from the bed and quietly watched Terrence lying there. After examining him, the two doctors shook their heads at Joy Chaucer.
