I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away
Chapter 375: Meredith Looks Just So Like Bianca

Meredith didn't argue with Chloe; she just went along with what Chloe was saying. When Meredith didn't acknowledge her, Chloe breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't blame me for being heartless, blame yourself for being born into the wrong life." "Right," Meredith responded emotionlessly, "Don't worry, there's nothing to resent. I just wanted an answer. After all these years, I've moved past it."

"You're actually doing quite well now, Meredith. As long as you don't acknowledge me, this matter stays between you, me, and the heavens. I won't mistreat you in the future. After all, you are my daughter. When I pass away, all that I have will be yours," Chloe tried to persuade her with promises.

Meredith, however, never believed Chloe from the start. She wasn't naive enough to fall for such lies.

After deceiving Chloe, Meredith and her companions left, and she called Terrence Sterling. "Chloe Chaucer just came to see me, claiming to be my biological mother, and asked me not to investigate further. I think there's something fishy," Meredith pondered aloud. "What do you think her real motive is?"

Elsewhere, Terrence Sterling was slightly surprised. "She really said that?"

"Yes," Meredith replied lightly. "She's worried about her reputation. Let's talk about this later. I can't trust a word she says."

"Keep your spirits up and don't worry about the rest," advised Terrence. "Once we get through this summer and winter comes, Little Lucky will be born."

They talked for a while longer on the phone until Meredith heard Linda's voice and knew Terrence had to go. "Mr. Sterling, the car is at the door now." "Alright," Terrence got up to leave.

Stepping out of the office, Terrence received a call from Julian who was looking for a doctor to examine Leyton's brain. Leyton was still so young, and Julian wanted to do everything possible to cure him.

On the phone, Julian said, "Son, I heard a famous brain specialist is coming to the capital. You have the connections, could you arrange a time for him to see Leyton?"

Terrence's tone was indifferent. "He doesn't need to see any brain specialist. Don't worry about it unnecessarily."

Terrence knew Leyton was pretending.

Julian insisted, "Terry, no matter what, Leyton is family. Even if he's not my son, I can't just ignore him. Leyton is still young and already like this; what will we do when he's older?" Julian's words, though unintended, sparked a thought in Terrence. 'Not his son, but still family...'

He remembered something Bianca had said before. Joy Chaucer was part of their family, and even after finding out that Joy wasn't her biological daughter, Bianca still pleaded with Grandma Sterling on her behalf. Now, Terrence suddenly understood why Bianca would save Joy Chaucer. If Joy was Chloe's daughter, and not Bianca's, she would still be part of the Chaucer family. Bianca couldn't just stand by and let her die.

If Joy Chaucer was Chloe's daughter, then why was Chloe acknowledging Meredith? Was Chloe trying to prevent Meredith from finding her biological parents because...

Suddenly, Terrence asked Julian, "Dad, do you think Meredith and Bianca look alike?"

"What?" Julian was taken aback, but he subconsciously compared the two in his mind. "Not really, but maybe a little. Why do you ask, son?"

"Nothing, just asking," Terrence didn't reveal his suspicions; after all, they were just that-suspicions. "Just handle the doctor situation for Leyton on your own."

After hanging up, Terrence pondered how to arrange a paternity test for Bianca and Meredith without alarming Bianca.
