I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Upon hearing what Ethan Channing wanted him to do, Leyton Sterling felt a surge of excitement. This was indeed a big move. “Mr. Channing, when do you need it? I’ll get it for you.”

Leyton Sterling, who was betraying his own family, had no idea of the true consequences of stealing the seal. He only knew that if he could bring down Terrence Sterling, he could rise to power. He sought personal revenge and coveted the Sterling family’s assets.

Ethan Channing replied, “The sooner, the better.”

“Alright, Mr. Channing, I’ll have it for you by tomorrow.” Leyton Sterling had been pretending to be foolish all along, all under Ethan Channing’s guidance.

Leyton Sterling was Ethan Channing’s inside man within Sterling Corporation. The last time the company’s data was stolen, it was Leyton Sterling’s doing, causing significant losses to the company.

Leyton Sterling saw Ethan Channing as his lifeline. He believed Ethan Channing could help him take over Sterling Corporation and teach Terrence Sterling a lesson.

Ethan Channing took another drag of his cigarette and said, “You should get a driver’s license when you have time. It’s inconvenient not to be able to drive.”

Leyton Sterling didn’t dare mention that he had killed someone in an accident and was afraid to drive. He could only agree verbally, “Alright, I’ll learn when I have time. Mr. Channing, I’ll head back now.”

“Okay,” Ethan Channing responded expressionlessly.

After Leyton Sterling got out of the car, Ethan Channing remained seated and didn’t instruct the driver to start the car.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

After a while, Ethan Channing told the driver, “Go to Willow Creek.”

“Yes, Mr. Channing,” the driver replied and started the car.

An hour later, Ethan Channing’s car arrived at an urban village on the outskirts. The roads were narrow and undeveloped; the car had to be parked outside the village. Ethan Channing got out and walked in, unaware that he was being followed.

Seeing Ethan Channing enter the village, a shadowy figure made a phone call from a hidden spot: “Mr. Sterling, I saw Ethan Channing enter Willow Creek with my own eyes…”

Ethan Channing entered a dilapidated house with an old wooden door. This was where his parents had lived before they passed away. He had bought this house and left it abandoned.

His parents had worked hard to support his overseas education by selling vegetables from dawn till dusk. Ethan Channing had always dreamed of returning home after his studies to repay his parents’ sacrifices, but he never got the chance.

A car accident took his parents away from him.

It was then that Ethan Channing changed his name from Rhys Lyons to seek justice for his parents. It took him ten years to reach his current status.

He had sent Ruby Kim’s death video to Rick with the intention of showing it to Terrence Sterling as a reminder that ten years ago on that same road, Terrence Sterling had run over and killed two people-his parents.

However, there was no reaction from Terrence Sterling after the video was sent out. This infuriated Ethan Channing. Ten years had passed; were those two lives so insignificant to Terrence Sterling? Had he forgotten about them?

Ethan Channing sat on the steps of the old house, memories of his parents flooding his mind. He remembered playing at the doorway while his mother cooked in the kitchen; the aroma of food drifting out was tantalizing.

His father would come home from selling vegetables and habitually pat him on the head before leading him inside. They would wash their hands together and sit down for a meal as a happy family.

Life was hard back then, but they were very happy together. He always ranked among the top students in school and was his parents’ pride and joy. The smiles on their faces when he received his college acceptance letter were unforgettable.

He too was very proud because he made them proud.

Back then, he vowed silently that he would grow up to earn lots of money and give his parents the best life possible.

Now he was wealthy with dozens of investment companies under his name and assets worth billions. But now that he wanted to care for them, they were gone.

Thinking of this made Ethan Channing’s eyes bloodshot as he clenched his fists tightly: “Terrence Sterling, I will make you pay.”
