I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

“Joy, how could you think of me like that? I’ve been wholeheartedly devoted to you, managing the company and selling off assets was a last resort. Trust me, I’ll help you rise again,” Ferris said, looking heartbroken by Joy Chaucer’s reaction.

Joy Chaucer was furious. She couldn’t sue Ferris; at this moment, she had no way to deal with him. She didn’t understand business management and now found herself penniless. Even her bank account was frozen.

Ferris watched Joy Chaucer’s frantic yet clueless demeanor without a hint of sympathy, relishing the feeling of power over her. He reached out to touch her face, “Joy, in this world, only I treat you best. You are my woman.”

Joy Chaucer slapped his hand away and glared at him fiercely, “Ferris, you’re a traitor! Give me back my money and my company.”

She needed the money to take Terrence abroad. Without it, how could she leave the country? She had initially thought she could sell some assets and live comfortably abroad with Terrence. But Ferris had emptied her assets before she could act.

Ethan Channing was dead, Chloe had fallen, and there was no one left for Joy Chaucer to rely on except Ferris. “I told you, the company went bankrupt. Joy, as long as you stay with me, I won’t let you suffer,” Ferris said. “You only have me now.”

Joy Chaucer stared at Ferris with hatred, wishing she could bore a hole through him with her gaze. She hadn’t gotten a penny from Ferris; that was what truly drove her crazy.

She consulted a lawyer but couldn’t even afford the legal fees until she sold her jewelry to gather a million dollars. Women should buy valuable items instead of fast fashion; even second-hand jewelry retains value.

However, despite spending money on the lawyer, she couldn’t do anything against Ferris because he followed all legal procedures. Joy Chaucer didn’t understand law or business management and was completely outmaneuvered by Ferris.

After seeing the lawyer, Joy Chaucer decided to visit Chloe in the hospital for help. Upon arrival, she saw doctors and nurses rushing around and numerous police officers present-something had happened.

Chloe had attempted suicide.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Joy Chaucer panicked. Why choose this moment to attempt suicide? “Doctor, you must save my mother! You must!” Joy Chaucer clutched the doctor’s arm urgently, seemingly very concerned.

She was indeed worried but more about who would help her if Chloe died. When Chloe’s incident occurred, the police notified Meredith as well. Knowing Joy Chaucer was at the hospital, Meredith decided not to go there herself. Chloe’s timing couldn’t have been worse; Meredith was eager for Joy Chaucer to leave town again.

The doctors managed to save Chloe’s life but left her in a vegetative state. Joy Chaucer was furious but relieved that Chloe could no longer speak about her deeds-there would be no evidence for the police.

With Chloe now a vegetable and of no use to the police, Joy Chaucer stayed at the hospital until dark before leaving. This time, she drove towards the outskirts of town. She hadn’t seen Terrence in days and was agitated by Ferris’ actions; she needed to see Terrence.

Unbeknownst to her, the police had been secretly tailing her. Once on the highway, she sped towards Tianquan Highway exit.

Meredith learned that Joy Chaucer had left town again and felt a surge of excitement as she prepared to follow. Just as she was about to leave, Azure arrived.

It was Azure’s first visit since Terrence’s incident. She had been away performing and came directly upon hearing about Terrence’s situation.
