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

Chapter 24

Rhett frowned, watching Kristin’s retreating figure, feeling oddly choked up.

Without thinking, he almost chased her and then caught himself. When had he become such a busybody?

“Mr. FitzGerald, something’s off. Ms. Haywood tried to kill herself again! The Haywoods said, um, you didn’t take responsibility for what you did to her six years ago, and Ms. Haywood couldn’t handle the double whammy.”

York ran over in a panic, eyeing Rhett nervously. “The dough you forked over and the compensation to the Haywood family, they sent it all back. It’s clear as day they want you to answer for their daughter.”

Rhett rubbed his temples in irritation, having landed himself in a fine mess!

“Head to the Haywood family.” With a stern voice, Rhett gestured to Tam. “Ensure she gets home safe. It’s dangerous for her to walk alone at night.”

Looking like that, Kristin was bound to run into trouble. The bar’s neighborhood was crawling with drunkards.

Tam reluctantly followed.

Sure enough, Kristin was barely out of the bar when some guys latched onto her.

“Hey, gorgeous, what’s up? Why the long face? Tell me. I’ll back you up.”

“Sweetheart, don’t run. You here by yourself?”

A few boozed–up guys were all over Kristin.

She tried to dodge but couldn’t escape. The ringleader reached to touch Kristin’s face. “Pretty face you got there. Let me take care of you.“.
