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

Chapter 45

Garner was flailing like a fish out of water. “Clarence, you son of a gun, come at me!” he shouted in desperation.

Kristin’s bandaged ear was hurt again, and now she might lose hearing in her left ear for good.

Lying on the ground, Kristin tried feebly to crawl towards Summer.

He was scared out of his mind, still wiping away a never–ending stream of nosebleeds.

“Garner, Ruby nearly got killed by Kristin, and she still managed to pull Rhett into this mess. Quite the mover and shaker, huh?” Clarence kicked Kristin hard in the stomach, clearly pissed off that Kristin had found herself a powerful backer.

“Kristin, are you stepping up your game, huh? What tricks did you pull to reel Rhett in?” Clarence grabbed her hair again, forcing her to look up. “Take a good look.”

After that, Clarence signaled his bodyguard to rough up Garner. “Which hand of yours was getting fresh with Ruby, huh? Let Kristin watch how I make you useless.”

Garner struggled as his right hand was pinned to the ground.

He’d learned some handy skills in the military and even specialized in car repair after his discharge. His livelihood depended on those hands.

If they wrecked Garner’s hands, they might as well be taking his life.

“Don’t… Please…” Kristin was on her knees begging Clarence, “Take mine, not my brother’s. please…”

Kristin’s voice was hoarse from screaming, pleading for Garner’s safety. But Clarence just stood there cold as ice, forcing her to watch with eyes wide open.

A bodyguard picked up a hammer and smashed it down on Garner’s hand, again and again, until it was a bloody, unrecognizable mess…
