I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Meredith was informed by John Wilkinson to come. With the clues and evidence provided by Selene and Hya, Reginald's identity was now confirmed. Since Terrence was not in Auroraville, John Wilkinson had to notify Meredith. Everyone knew that the Sterling family was managed by neither Julian nor Stella, and with Grandma Sterling being too old, it naturally fell to Meredith.

Seeing John Wilkinson looking troubled, Meredith asked, "Captain Wilkinson, you asked me to come. Is there any new evidence?"

"We now have enough evidence to prove that Reginald, also known as Reginald Hawthorne, is the founder of the Celestial Alliance, Master Reginald," John Wilkinson said. "Selene has regained her memory and confessed everything. The Celestial Alliance assassin Hya has also turned herself in. Let's discuss the details in the office."

Hearing that Selene had remembered everything, Meredith felt a surge of joy. Terrence had previously told her that Selene would be key in bringing down Reginald. Now that Selene had remembered, their opportunity had arrived. Meredith followed John Wilkinson to the office and provided information that Reginald was currently in Nichigawa, Japan.

Handling international cases was challenging. John Wilkinson said, "Mrs. Sterling, contact Terrence and have him find a way to lure Reginald back to the country."

John Wilkinson respected Meredith greatly because she was not only the heir to Falconer Holdings and the wife of Sterling Corporation's heir but also the biological daughter of French Prince Darcy DuMont. This had made international news; the whole world knew about Meredith's identity.

As the anti-terrorism team captain, John Wilkinson had to be cautious in addressing Meredith due to her status as a French royal. However, he was less formal with Terrence since they had been elementary school classmates before Terrence transferred after one semester.

"Lure him back to the country?" Meredith found this very difficult. "You just said Selene and Hya have both surrendered. The Celestial Alliance will soon get wind of this, making Reginald even more reluctant to return."

At least in the short term, Reginald would certainly lay low.

Realizing this made Meredith even more anxious. If Terrence failed to rescue their daughter from Reginald this time and Reginald went into hiding, who knew when their next chance would come?

Sometimes startling a snake could work, but if overly frightened, it would never emerge again.

John Wilkinson said gravely, "Then we can only try. I will head to Japan myself, but this process is lengthy. I hope to leverage Mrs. Sterling's connections."

Meredith immediately understood that if John Wilkinson was going to Japan to capture someone, it would be challenging.

He would also need approval from his superiors. This capture operation could have significant repercussions; any misstep could cause friction between Japan and their country. John Wilkinson's superiors might not approve this plan. As a victim's family member whose daughter had been kidnapped and being part of French royalty, Meredith could exert pressure on higher-ups.

"I'll handle this," Meredith said. "I'll call my father. Captain Wilkinson, notify me before you go to Japan and please ensure my daughter's and husband's safe return."

John Wilkinson disapproved of Terrence going to Japan on his own but understood that as a father, Terrence couldn't do nothing.

Captain Wilkinson promised, "It's my duty. Please tell Terrence not to act rashly and inform me immediately if he has any information."

"I will relay your message," Meredith said solemnly. "Thank you for your hard work, Captain Wilkinson."

After leaving the police station, Meredith called Terrence and updated him on the situation.

Both Terrence and Meredith were increasingly anxious about Reginald hiding away out of fear.

Indeed.

Upon learning that Hya had surrendered, Reginald flew into a rage: "You can't even handle Hya! What are you all good for? Why do I keep you around?" His subordinates didn't dare make a sound.

Damien and assassin Rose bowed their heads in silence.

Reginald roared furiously: "Pass my orders: By dawn tomorrow, deal with Hya! Neither Selene nor Hya can be left alive."

Damien responded, "Yes, Master. I'll go immediately."

Damien left at once while Reginald looked at his subordinates with anger. They were all useless compared to Hya and Selene; this infuriated him even more: "Get out!" "Yes, Master Reginald."

All his subordinates left the room until only Reginald and Little Lucky remained.
