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

Chapter 16

Rhett felt as though he was meddling in matters that were none of his business.

“Mr. FitzGerald…” Seeing Rhett emerge from the examination room, the assistant panicked and started spraying alcohol as if he wanted to give Rhett a full–body disinfectant treatment.

Rhett was a bit of a clean freak and hated hospitals to the point where he barely wanted to set foot in one.

And yet, he carried that grubby woman into the hospital!

That was enough to keep the assistant shocked for days.

“Mr. FitzGerald, we’ve got the hotel’s surveillance footage. Do you need me to…”

“No need!” Rhett snapped back, clearly annoyed and losing his patience.

The assistant zipped it, knowing Rhett was pissed, and hurried after him. “Mr. FitzGerald. Ms. Turner may have been Mr. Vincent’s ex–fiancée, but their marriage has been canceled. She’s not part of the FitzGerald family, only a fake heiress. You shouldn’t bother yourself with her.”

Rhett didn’t respond.

“Plus, I’ve heard Kristin has a sketchy private life and even had a child. Look how skinny she is. God knows if she’s sick or something…” the assistant muttered.

But before the assistant could finish, he felt a chill down his spine.

Rhett’s gaze was icy as he took the tissue from the assistant and cleaned his hands with disgust.

“Don’t talk about things without evidence, and don’t trash–talk a woman carelessly.” Even though he found it disgusting. Rhett didn’t like hearing people gossiping about a woman behind her back.

The assistant kept his mouth shut.

In the hospital room, “A mild concussion. You need to stay in for observation,” Connor told Kristin, insisting she should behave and finish her IV drip.

“No… no need. I won’t undergo treatment,” Kristin blurted out in panic, her eyes wide with fear as she looked at Connor. “I… I don’t have any money.”
