When the Boss’ Lady Became His Sister-in-law

Chapter 5

Kristin bolted from the hospital, which had ticked off the Turner family and Vincent.

“I knew it. Kristin wouldn’t just willingly give away the kidney she owes me.” Ruby woke up on her hospital bed, her voice choked up with emotion.

Between the lines, she was screaming to everyone that Kristin owed her big time.

When she returned to the Turner family, Ruby didn’t switch her last name, staying Ruby Collins instead.

She said that even though the Collins family didn’t treat her right, at least they had raised her for twenty–one years.

Talk about irony and a stark contrast. In the eyes of the Turners, Ruby was the genuine princess, kind to the core, while Kristin was a nasty, low–down fake.

“But Clarence… what if Kristin blabs? What if she tells Vinny that it was us that…” Ruby’s gaze was probing as she looked at her brother.

Back then, she and Clarence had schemed to have Kristin spend the night in a stranger’s room. “Nobody knows that random dude who bedded Kristin. Do you think people would believe Kristin? Relax, that little bastard is Kristin’s Achilles‘ heel. She wouldn’t dare spill the beans.” Saying so, Clarence’s eyes darkened a bit. He needed to give Kristin a stern warning.
