I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Reginald asked knowingly, “Terry, I heard that the people who tried to harm you have been caught. Do you know who they are?”

Terrence replied calmly, “They are from the Celestial Alliance. The police haven’t caught them yet and are still investigating.”

Knowing Reginald was probing, Terrence answered truthfully while also testing Reginald’s reaction.

“Celestial Alliance?” Reginald feigned surprise and confusion. “What is that? How did you offend them?”

Terrence’s lips curved slightly as he said nonchalantly, “I would like to know that too. It’s an underworld organization. Uncle Reginald, you’re in business; it’s normal if you don’t understand these things.”

“The underworld?” Reginald sighed. “Terry, you really need to be careful.”

“Look at me now, a blind man. What can I do?” Terrence said self-deprecatingly. “If they want my life, they can take it anytime.”

“Mr. Sterling,” the butler approached, “Officer Michaelson is here.”

Liam Michaelson had been summoned by Terrence, arriving right on time.

Terrence said, “Let him in.”

Soon, Liam Michaelson entered. He glanced at Reginald sitting opposite Terrence and then addressed Terrence, “Mr. Sterling, Joy Chaucer has confessed to everything. The evidence is irrefutable. However, Mr. Sterling knows that Joy Chaucer is pregnant; she will be sentenced after giving birth.”

Joy Chaucer was essentially on death row; once the child was born, she would surely face execution.

“Thank you for your hard work, Officer Michaelson,” Terrence said, continuing his act of blindness with practiced ease. “How is the investigation into the Celestial Alliance going?”

At this question, Reginald pretended to sip his tea calmly while secretly observing Terrence and Liam Michaelson’s reactions. He wanted to know how much evidence the police had gathered about the Celestial Alliance.

Liam Michaelson glanced at Reginald again, considering him an outsider to the case and thus hesitant to speak freely.

Terrence reassured him, “Officer Michaelson, this is my Uncle Reginald. It’s fine; say what you need to say.”

Only then did Liam Michaelson continue, “We found some clues from the surveillance footage near where Ethan Channing was silenced. Two female assassins were seen leaving together. One of them matches the physique and profile of Selene, the bodyguard you hired.”

Hearing Selene’s name made Terrence’s heart skip a beat; he hadn’t expected the police to uncover such a useful lead.

Reginald’s expression also changed slightly upon hearing Selene mentioned.

Though Terrence wasn’t truly blind, he noticed Reginald’s reaction clearly.

A murderous intent flashed in Reginald’s eyes; it seemed the Celestial Alliance intended to eliminate Selene now that she had caught the police’s attention.

To the Celestial Alliance, Selene had become a ticking time bomb.

Although Terrence knew about Selene’s actions and identity beforehand, he had to feign surprise and asked, “Selene? How could it be her? Officer Michaelson, are you sure?”

“We’re fairly certain,” Liam Michaelson replied. “A warrant has been issued for Selene’s arrest. Mr. Sterling, do you have any information on her whereabouts?”

“When I was attacked, Selene resigned from her position with my wife and hasn’t been seen since. But just yesterday, we received news about her…”

Terrence couldn’t hide this matter even though he knew that if Selene were taken by the police, she would lose her value to the Celestial Alliance and might quietly die in custody.

The power of the Celestial Alliance shouldn’t be underestimated.

Fiona had died in police custody before; Ethan Channing was silenced under police watch. If Selene were taken in, it would bring more harm than good.

But now Selene was with Harvey; there was no hiding it.

Upon hearing there was news about Selene, Liam Michaelson perked up while Reginald’s expression grew more serious as he tightened his grip on his teacup.

Liam Michaelson asked eagerly, “Where is Selene?”

Instead of answering directly, Terrence countered with another question: “Officer Michaelson, you mentioned there was another person involved. Did you get a clear look at them?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
