I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away
Chapter 450: Successful Capture

Meredith's water had broken, and she couldn't move. Otherwise, she would have rushed to the police station. She needed to know what had happened and see Justin one last time. She had just bid farewell to Fiona and her mother; why did something happen to Justin too? How did Justin die? Why was he at the CC Club? Why did he fall to his death? Meredith felt there was something suspicious about all of this.

"Meredith, calm down first. I'll go to the police station right now," Terrence Sterling said. He wanted to stay with Meredith, but he knew her well enough to understand that she would prefer he go and find out what happened to Justin. Terrence called Stella and Selene to come over, and only then did he feel comfortable leaving. As he walked away, Joy Chaucer emerged from behind a car in the parking lot, watching him leave before heading towards the maternity ward. Meredith was in the delivery room, with Stella by her side. She was only three centimeters dilated and had to wait longer. During the wait, Meredith couldn't stop crying, her mind in turmoil.

Stella tried to comfort her, "Meredith, you shouldn't cry while giving birth; it's bad luck."

But Meredith couldn't hold back her tears. Justin's accident had caught her completely off guard.

At the police station, Terrence Sterling arrived and found Liam Michaelson. "What happened?"

"Mr. Sterling," Liam said, looking exhausted after a long night. "Isn't your wife giving birth? Why are you here?" "Something happened to Justin. My wife can't just ignore it," Terrence replied. "Was it an accident or foul play?"

"Sorry, I didn't know Meredith was giving birth today," Liam said. "We received a call around 1 AM last night. Justin fell from the rooftop. Luckily, a branch broke his fall, reducing the impact, so he didn't die immediately. A passerby found him and called an ambulance, but despite their efforts, they couldn't save him. It appears Justin was drunk and fell from the rooftop."

Terrence frowned. "Drunk?"

"His blood alcohol level was over the limit," Liam explained. "But from my years of experience, something seems off. We haven't found anyone who was drinking with Justin. The CC Club didn't provide any surveillance footage because they were upgrading their equipment and had removed the old cameras."

As Liam spoke, he poured Terrence a glass of water. "Did you know Justin was investigating Fiona's death?"

"Why would a lawyer investigate Fiona's death?" Terrence asked, his brow furrowing.

Liam replied honestly, "Not long ago, Justin came to me. He discovered that someone had given Fiona a cup of milk tea before she was arrested. I checked the surveillance footage and found that someone named Derek Donnelly had given her the tea. Coincidentally, Derek works at the CC Club."

"So Justin went to the CC Club because of Derek Donnelly. Justin might not have died from the fall," Terrence said.

"Yes, that's our current suspicion. The coroner's report just came in," Liam said. "The alcohol in Justin's system was force-fed."

Forced drinking and voluntary drinking are different. Justin had alcohol in his nose and respiratory tract, indicating he had been force-fed and choked on it. Only a coroner could tell the difference, similar to distinguishing between drowning after death and drowning while alive.

Just then, a police officer entered. "Liam, we've captured Derek Donnelly. We caught him at the train station. If we had been any later, he would have left Auroraville, making things more difficult for us."

"Good, I'll be there shortly to interrogate him," Liam said.

This capture had gone surprisingly smoothly.

"Alright," the officer said before leaving.

Liam turned to Terrence. "I'll go interrogate him now. Maybe we can solve Fiona's case too."

"Go ahead," Terrence said calmly. What secrets were hidden behind the CC Club? Derek Donnelly, Joy Chaucer, Fiona, Ethan Channing... What connections did these people have?
