I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away
Chapter 449: Unfortunate Death

Justin was too agitated. Wasn't Bianca supposed to have died from illness? Could it be that the real cause of death was poisoning? But why wasn't it found in the autopsy report?

Just as Justin was about to leave, he turned around and bumped into two of Ethan Channing's bodyguards. The bodyguards glared at Justin menacingly, forcing him back step by step. Justin stumbled and fell when his heel hit the steps. Derek Donnelly and Joy Chaucer heard the commotion and came over. Seeing Justin, Joy Chaucer sneered, "What a fool, just like Fiona and Ruby Kim, always courting death."

Justin had grown up with Meredith and Fiona, so Joy Chaucer naturally knew him, but this was their first real encounter. Justin looked towards the garden and noticed that the man from earlier was gone. Ethan Channing would never show his face; he had people to handle these matters.

"Fiona was indeed killed by you," Justin said indignantly. "Bianca too, Joy Chaucer, you're insane. Why did you do it? What did Fiona ever do to you? Bianca raised you for ten years. Even if she wasn't your biological mother, you didn't have to be so ruthless."

Justin was surrounded on all sides and couldn't escape. Joy Chaucer found it amusing, "You're a lawyer, yet so naive? How have you survived this long? Just as foolish as Fiona, no wonder you came from the same orphanage. Fiona lost her usefulness, so she had to die. Do you think we'd keep her around for the holidays? Haha, don't worry, you won't live to see the New Year either."

Hearing this, Justin knew his chances of survival were slim. "How did you kill Fiona?" Justin pointed at Derek Donnelly. "Was it poison? Did you put it in her milk tea? You knew she'd talk once caught, so you silenced her. You were also behind the attempt on Meredith's life."

Derek Donnelly stepped forward, "You're right, the poison was in the milk tea. But what good does knowing that do you? Remember in your next life, mind your own business if you want to live longer."

...

In the hospital.

Meredith had a nightmare where she saw Justin covered in blood. She woke up with a start.

"Meredith, another nightmare?" Terrence Sterling was also awakened by her.

Meredith glanced outside; it was already daylight. "Honey, I just had a terrible dream. Every time I dream like this, something bad happens." Her heart raced with anxiety. "Where's my phone? I need to call Justin. He's been avoiding me since he got back to Auroraville."

Terrence handed her the phone. "What did you dream about?"

"I dreamt that something bad happened to Justin, there was so much blood." Meredith dialed Justin's number, but it was off.

"Something must have happened to Justin."

In her panic, Meredith felt a sharp pain in her stomach. "My stomach hurts."

"Meredith, don't worry, I'll get the doctor." Terrence pressed the call button in a fluster.

Soon, the doctor arrived and confirmed that Meredith was going into labor.

At that moment, Detective Liam Michaelson called: "Meredith, something happened to Justin..."

The sudden bad news made Meredith feel cold all over.

Seeing her distress, Terrence took the phone and stepped aside. "Officer Michaelson, please tell me what's going on. My wife is about to give birth."

Liam Michaelson said over the phone, "Last night, Justin fell from the top floor of the CC Club. After two hours of emergency treatment... he didn't make it."

On the hospital bed, Meredith anxiously asked while undergoing fetal monitoring, "Terrence Sterling, what did Liam Michaelson say? He said something happened to Justin. What happened? Tell me!"

Terrence looked at Meredith's worried face and couldn't bring himself to tell her the truth about Justin.

He hung up and said to Meredith, "You need to go into the delivery room now. Don't worry, stay calm."

"What happened to Justin? Tell me!" Meredith demanded. "If you don't tell me, how can I be at ease? Give me the phone; I'll call Liam Michaelson myself."

Seeing her insistence, Terrence hesitated but finally said, "Justin fell from the rooftop of the CC Club last night and didn't survive."

The news felt like the sky was falling for Meredith. One by one, her loved ones who grew up with her were leaving.

Tears streamed down Meredith's face as her water broke. She choked out, "Terrence Sterling, go check on him for me... please..."
