I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away
Chapter 350: Joy Chaucer Arrested

Chloe's words struck fear into Joy Chaucer. "Chloe, am I finished?" Joy asked in a panic. "How dare that bitch Fiona play tricks behind my back? I must have someone kill her."

At this moment, Joy could only hope that Ethan Channing would help her eliminate this threat. However, as long as Fiona was alive, she would never feel at ease. Chloe remarked, "A few days have passed, and the police haven't come for you. Maybe Fiona didn't betray you, Joy. You should be careful, you've offended the Sterling family. How could you be so careless?"

"I just can't stand that Meredith. Ever since she came along, my mother has been protecting her, and she even took my place by Terrence's side," Joy said fiercely. "That bitch, what does she have that I don't?"

"You should either not have done it or made sure you left no trace. Now, Fiona is like a ticking time bomb," Chloe advised while comforting her. "Don't panic. Let's observe for a bit longer. I'll go to the police station tomorrow and ask around." No sooner had she finished speaking than the sound of police sirens could be heard outside. Since Fiona's arrest, the sound of sirens always made Joy's heart skip a beat. As for Ruby Kim's death, she didn't care at all. Ethan Channing had cleaned up the mess thoroughly, leaving no trouble behind.

This is why, despite suspicions, the police had no evidence and couldn't touch Joy Chaucer. The police were coming for the Chaucer family. Soon, the sound of the sirens grew louder, and the police rang the doorbell. "Chloe, are the police here for me?" Joy asked, her heart pounding. "Definitely."

"I'll go check; you stay in your room. Remember, if they are here about the incident with drugging Gramma Sterling, do not admit to giving her the drugs. Just say it was vitamins," Chloe quickly concocted a lie for Joy. "If the police ask why you know Fiona, make something up-say Fiona was blackmailing you, trying to extort money from you, anything they can't verify."

Joy was already panicking. "Chloe, can this work?"

"Calm down. You are the daughter of the Chaucer family, the future leader of Falconer Holdings," Chloe said sternly. "It's just a minor issue. Why panic?"

Joy didn't understand why Chloe was so confident in her. She felt like a fraud, and Chloe's protection made her wonder if Chloe was using her to eventually take over Falconer Holdings for herself. Joy didn't trust that Chloe truly had her best interests at heart. There must be a plot.

Downstairs, Bianca was dealing with the police. Liam Michaelson, accompanied by two junior officers, clarified their purpose. "Mrs. Chaucer, we are just doing our duty. Joy Chaucer is suspected of poisoning Miss Aurelia Sterling, and we need to take her in for questioning."

Earlier that day at the hospital, Bianca had suspected something might happen. "Captain Michaelson, do you have any evidence that my daughter harmed Mrs. Sterling?" Bianca asked. "Our family has long-standing ties with the Sterling family; we would never commit such an act."

"Mrs. Chaucer, the suspect Fiona Woods has confessed that the drugs were provided by Joy Chaucer. We hope you won't make this difficult for us," Liam Michaelson said politely, yet his tone was firm, backed by the Sterling family who were seeking justice for their own.

Hearing this downstairs, Chloe realized the truth had come out. Bianca kept a calm facade but was deeply disappointed in Joy. Bianca glanced at Chloe descending the stairs and said, "Chloe, go call Joy down. Captain Michaelson wants to speak with her."

"Bianca, Joy would never do such a thing. There must be some mistake," Chloe also spoke to Liam Michaelson. "Captain Michaelson, it must be a misunderstanding. Fiona has had issues with our Joy, who she's been blackmailing for months. Before this, Fiona had a run-in with my niece. Fiona's words are not to be trusted."

"Blackmail? Extortion?" Liam Michaelson asked. "Then why wasn't the police informed?"

"These are minor issues; we didn't want to trouble you," Chloe replied.

"We follow the rules. Let Miss Joy Chaucer come downstairs and go with us to the station," Liam Michaelson insisted firmly. "We will investigate thoroughly to see if there was any collusion."
