Chapter 7

Vincent was scared of Rhett. And no one in the FitzGerald family or the whole of Silvergrove City wasn’t.

“Take her to the servants‘ quarters in the backyard,” Vincent whispered urgently to the nanny. gesturing subtly towards Kristin. He was worried that Rhett was on the verge of losing his

temper.

Rhett was a clean freak. He moved out as soon as he was of age and hardly ever returned. His visit today was quite rare.

“Little brat,” the nanny hissed through clenched teeth. Seeing Rhett had left the patio, she booted Summer, sending the kid sprawling on the ground.

Kristin panicked, clutching the child tightly, her voice choked. “This isn’t our home. We need to go back to our place!”

With that, Kristin, still holding Summer, prepared to make her exit.

Summer was just a kid. How could Vincent be so heartless?

“Kristin, you’d better get a grip on reality,” Vincent snarled, yanking her back by her hair.

Summer was a tough cookie. Even after being kicked to the ground by the nanny, he didn’t cry. But seeing Vincent bully his mom, tears rolled down his cheeks. “Let go of my mom!”

“Vincent, I’ve agreed to donate my kidney. What more do you want?” Kristin begged through tears. Couldn’t he leave her alone?

“Kristin, if you and your mom hadn’t swapped places with Ruby, she wouldn’t have suffered such severe depression nor nearly lost her life in that car crash!” Vincent loathed Kristin.

Kristin looked down, defeated. The damage was done, and she couldn’t change it. “I didn’t… Vincent, why won’t you believe me? I didn’t collude with the Collins family. I knew nothing.”

Ruby had said that during her years with the Collins family, she had suffered immensely, even fabricating lies, claiming that Garner, as her brother, had molested her from a young age, harming and threatening her, leaving her deeply traumatized and severely depressed.
