I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Chapter 542: Hold On, My Love



Terrence remained silent, a typical line one might expect from a male perpetrator, as uttered by Joy Chaucer. Terrence’s body was covered in wounds that had reopened, staining the sheets with blood that bloomed like plum blossoms-terrifyingly beautiful. The sight of the blood-stained sheets drove Joy Chaucer into further madness.

She ripped Terrence’s clothes, stripping him of his powerful CEO facade. He struggled weakly, his expression one of agonizing endurance, resembling a “little girl” being humiliated. Joy Chaucer’s laughter was chilling as she kissed Terrence’s neck. Recalling how everything she had was taken away by Meredith, her hate deepened. She lost her status as Miss Chaucer, the heir to Falconer Holdings, and Mrs. Sterling-all to Meredith.

Since Bianca, who once cared for her, had died, her mother Chloe had become comatose, and her company had been sabotaged by Ferris, Joy Chaucer had truly fallen from grace. Even if she was to be ruined, she intended to drag Terrence down with her. “Terrence, I want to see just how deep your feelings for Meredith really are,” she sneered as she began to undress, appreciating the struggling, breathless man on the bed as if he were an art piece.

Joy Chaucer threw herself onto Terrence, frantically kissing him while he tried to dodge her advances, albeit futilely. Suddenly, noises from downstairs were followed by the door being forcefully pushed open. Meredith and Azure appeared at the doorway, mirroring the time when Terrence had arrived just in time to save Meredith from a similar situation.

The scene shocked both Meredith and Azure-not just the sight of Joy Chaucer naked atop Terrence, but the blood-soaked sheets were particularly jarring. Azure exclaimed, “My goodness, you were right!” Their fears were not unfounded, and luckily they had arrived just in time, as Terrence’s pants were already half removed.

Meredith rushed over, grabbing Joy Chaucer by the hair and yanking her away, causing her to crash heavily onto the floor. Terrence, unable to rise from the bed, heard Azure and realized who had come. Meredith, unaware that Terrence had been drugged and was now blind, only saw his wounds bleeding through the bandages. “Terrence, are you alright? If you can bear it, just hold on a moment while I give Joy Chaucer what she deserves,” she said. Terrence simply replied, “It’s okay,” indicating for Meredith to go ahead and vent her anger.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“Then you lie down,” Meredith suggested, covering Terrence with a sheet, treating him with an awkward delicacy as if he were a modest maiden, despite Azure also being present. Under the influence of the drugs, Terrence was beyond caring about modesty. Soon, he heard Joy Chaucer’s screams as Meredith began to take out her anger and frustration on her.

Unlike a typical catfight, Meredith’s method was brutal, punching like a man, each blow landing heavily. Azure watched in stunned silence. Downstairs, the police had detained the doctor and nanny and arrived to see Joy Chaucer beaten and curled up on the floor, bruised and swollen.

After venting, Meredith flexed her wrists and approached Terrence, “Dear, I’ll take you to the hospital now.” It seemed the family trait of handling things physically ran strong. Helping Terrence up, she offered him his clothes, which he could not see and therefore did not take. It was then Meredith realized something was terribly wrong. “Dear, your eyes…”
