I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away
Chapter 340: A Plan

When Rick heard that Meredith was coming, he tactfully made his way out.

Shortly after Linda announced her arrival, Meredith entered hastily.

Terrence Sterling stood up to help her. "Meredith, why aren't you resting at home?"

"There's been a real incident, look at this." Meredith showed the email on her phone to Terrence Sterling.

"Ruby Kim has been tracking both Joy Chaucer and Fiona. It's understandable why she would follow Joy - she's always wanted to avenge her parents. But why would Fiona know Joy Chaucer? I suspect Joy also had a hand in the poisoning thing."

Now like a frightened bird, Meredith couldn't help but overthink.

Terrence Sterling was shocked after reading the email.

Seeing Fiona and Joy Chaucer together in a photo, with Joy handing Fiona a bottle, and recalling the incident with Gramma Sterling, Terrence's expression immediately turned cold.

"If this matter is related to Joy Chaucer, I will certainly not let her get away," he declared.

They zoomed in on the image, but couldn't confirm what was inside the bottle labeled as vitamins.

"Have you shown this email to the police?" Terrence asked.

"No," Meredith replied, "I was afraid of alerting them prematurely. This isn't just about Ruby Kim's death or Gramma being drugged, but also about Joy Chaucer's background. It's a significant matter."

"From the email, Ruby has been following Joy, and her accident must be connected to Joy," Terrence noted. "Before you came, I called the police. Joy has an alibi. Without solid evidence, this email only shows that Ruby had a grudge against Joy."

Suspecting Joy is one thing, but proving it is another.

However, Joy's background could be a trump card.

Using this situation wisely could easily reveal whether Joy was involved in the drugging or in harming Ruby Kim.

Their first step was to isolate Joy Chaucer.

"Ruby collected all this data; I can't let her efforts be in vain. She trusted me, sending this to me before she suspected she might be in danger. I can't betray her trust," Meredith said.

As an observer, Terrence saw more clearly. Ruby didn't do it all just because she trusted Meredith; she wanted to use her.

She aimed to leverage Meredith's kindness and settle a debt with her regarding Fiona and Joy Chaucer.

If Joy is linked to the drugging, the Sterling family would inevitably get involved.

Only Terrence had the power to drag Joy into this quagmire.

Knowing Ruby's intentions, Terrence and Meredith would play along as Ruby had anticipated.

"If Joy really has ill intentions towards Meredith, that would be unforgivable."

"Meredith, send this email to me. I'll handle it with Bianca. You stay out of this for now," Terrence instructed her, "Don't act rashly."

Given Joy's capabilities, she couldn't have orchestrated such a flawless plan alone. Someone was definitely behind her.

And without Fiona's testimony against Joy, they couldn't link her to the drugging incident with Gramma Sterling.

Meredith nodded, "I understand, I'll wait for your news. I'd like to meet Fiona, can you arrange that?"

Meredith could afford not to startle the suspect yet, but she was full of doubts and wanted to see Fiona. She hadn't visited Fiona since she was locked up.

Terrence understood Meredith's intentions. She would eventually visit Fiona.

"Alright, I'll arrange it. You probably won't see her today, we'll talk tomorrow. I'll have Linda take you back."

Meredith nodded, agreeing to his plan.

After Linda escorted Meredith away, Terrence had Rick contact Bianca's assistant to set up a meeting.

Instead of calling Bianca's personal number, Terrence approached it as official business, also a chance to confuse those lurking in the shadows.
