I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Chapter 615: Recognized at a Glance



The call was from Liam. The case of Little Lucky’s disappearance was now under Liam’s jurisdiction. Liam had found some clues and asked Meredith to come to the police station. Meredith hung up and hurried to the station. As for Azure, Meredith told her to go back to her own work, but Stella insisted on coming along.

At the police station, Liam was busy with numerous cases. When he saw Meredith arrive, he asked her and Stella to wait in his office while he submitted some documents before returning.

“Mrs. Sterling,” Liam said as he sat down, “take a look at this person and see if you recognize them.” He handed her a photo of the assassin Rose. Liam had used the same method he previously employed to find the assassin Selene, tracking suspicious individuals near the hospital and identifying Rose.

Meredith glanced at the photo and shook her head. “I don’t know this person. Who is it?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“This is the person who took your daughter,” Liam explained. “I compared this photo and confirmed that this individual is also Celestial Alliance assassin Rose. It seems your Sterling family has truly angered the Celestial Alliance; they have their eyes on you. I initially tried to contact Mr. Sterling, but couldn’t reach him, so I had to inform you. Be extra cautious, and we will do our best to find your daughter quickly.”

Liam had been incredibly efficient with this case, identifying the suspect and their identity within just a few days. He hadn’t been home for days, tirelessly reviewing hundreds of surveillance tapes to find a clue.

Upon learning that her daughter was indeed taken by someone from the Celestial Alliance, Meredith felt her heart sink.

Stella grabbed the photo and looked at it, unaware of what the Celestial Alliance was. Seeing the woman in the photo reminded her of Joy Chaucer, prompting her to ask Meredith, “Is this because Terry was fooling around outside and got into trouble? Is this revenge on Rowan?”

Meredith hadn’t considered that possibility and explained, “Mom, it’s not that. Don’t overthink it.”

“Then why did this woman steal my granddaughter?” Stella’s heart ached at the thought of her missing granddaughter. “If it’s not because of Terry’s issues, then is it a grudge against you?”

“Mom, it’s a long story and not as simple as you think,” Meredith replied, feeling frustrated and unable to explain clearly to Stella. She then asked Liam, “Have you located this person?”

“Not yet,” Liam said reassuringly. “But rest assured, Mrs. Sterling, we will find your daughter as soon as possible.” He had hoped Meredith might recognize the person to aid in their search efforts.

Seeing that Meredith didn’t know the person either, they would have to continue their investigation using traditional methods.

Meredith frowned deeply. “Thank you for your hard work.”

“It’s our duty,” Liam replied. “I’ll inform you immediately if there are any updates. Please also relay this to Mr. Sterling.”

“Okay,” Meredith agreed before leaving with Stella.

As they exited the police station, Meredith noticed a black private car pulling into the yard. A man and a woman stepped out of the car-the man was John Wilkinson, and the woman was Selene.

Selene wore a mask, so Meredith didn’t recognize her immediately but she knew John Wilkinson’s presence meant something related to Celestial Alliance assassin Rose.

Standing aside, John Wilkinson glanced at Meredith without saying much and told Selene behind him, “Sarah, let’s go.”

Selene had lost her memory; seeing Meredith didn’t stir any recognition in her either. She simply glanced at Meredith before following John Wilkinson inside.

That single glance made Meredith feel a sense of familiarity. As Selene walked past her, Meredith’s intuition grew stronger-a woman’s sixth sense.

Instinctively, Meredith called out, “Selene.”
