I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away
Chapter 378: Bianca Faints

In the midst of chaos abroad involving Terrence Sterling, unrest also stirred at home. Meredith had complications with her pregnancy, and Stella, though stern in her demeanor, was diligently caring for her in the hospital. Despite her harsh words, she neglected no duty.

Azure, having seen the news, immediately called Meredith. Upon learning of her hospitalization, she rushed to her side. Azure, trying to console Meredith, said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. I've tried to seduce Terrence Sterling myself and failed. He's not a man of weak resolve." Azure believed not in her superiority over Marry but in Terrence's principles.

Meredith, anxious, confessed, "I trust him too, but he can't return home now, and I'm unclear about his exact situation abroad. Rick is struggling to clear Terrence's name, and I'm considering going to Mondale myself."

"How can you travel in your condition?" Azure responded. "Take care of yourself first. I just overheard Terrence's father talking to Grandma Sterling on the phone. Though retired, Grandma Sterling could easily handle these minor troubles." As long as Terrence remained abroad, Meredith's worries persisted. Currently showing signs of a threatened miscarriage, she was unable to leave the hospital.

Patiently, Meredith continued her treatment in the hospital, even coordinating with her company's staff over the phone to suppress the scandal.

The news of Terrence's predicament also shocked Joy Chaucer. In a club, upon seeing the news on TV, she remarked to Ethan Channing, "I never expected Terrence Sterling to be involved in such an affair. Interested in a woman with a surgically altered face?"

Ethan, legs crossed and casually smoking a cigar, said, "It doesn't matter what she looks like. If she firmly accuses Terrence of rape, and if convicted, Mondale's laws could imprison him for at least three years. Even a tiger has its vulnerable moments, and now Terrence has fallen into this pit."

Joy questioned, "With Terrence's resources, couldn't he simply settle this with money? That woman is only after money, isn't she?"

"You're thinking too simply," Ethan chuckled.

Joy, puzzled, replied, "Isn't she afraid of retaliation from Terrence? He's ruthless."

"That's a problem for the future. Right now, Sterling Corporation's market value has plummeted by at least a billion dollars. This incident has jeopardized his position as president," sang Ethan, clearly pleased.

Joy thought it incredible that Terrence could be toppled by such a trivial issue, regretting her own drastic actions in the past.

Meanwhile, Leyton was thrilled by Terrence's misfortune. Seeing the news online, he immediately made a call, excitedly saying, "Did you orchestrate this? It's perfect. Even if Terrence climbs out of this pit, he'll never clear his name." Over at Falconer Holdings, Bianca, having also seen the news, called Julian urgently, "I saw the news about Terry. Is he still in Mondale? What's happening?"

"He's still there, and we haven't managed to get him out yet. It's all so sudden," Julian sighed anxiously. "My mother has had to step in to stabilize the situation at the company. Meredith has been hospitalized due to the stress." "Which hospital is Meredith in?" Bianca asked worriedly.

"The First Hospital, with Stella looking after her," replied Julian. "I need to meet Grandma Sterling at the company. I'm concerned she might get too agitated."

Terrence, the pillar of the family, had fallen, and Julian realized his own failures as a father, now dependent on his eighty-year-old grandmother to manage the company.

Determined not to remain idle, Bianca said, "I'll go to the hospital to see Meredith."

After ending the call, Bianca stood up but suddenly blacked out and felt the world spinning around her, collapsing unconscious.
