Chapter 46

At the FitzGerald Group.

“Mr. FitzGerald, this quarter’s…”

Rhett was in the middle of a meeting when suddenly, out of nowhere, someone’s phone started to ring.

The conference room went dead silent in an instant.

Everyone shot nervous glances at each other, wondering who had the guts to forget to put their phone on silent, let alone bring it into an internal meeting..

Just as everyone was shivering with fear, Rhett himself pulled out his phone. And just like that. everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Rhett frowned slightly as he looked at the unfamiliar number on his personal cell, knowing that not many people had this number.

“Hello?”

On the other end, a tearful and sweet voice came through. “Daddy, you gotta come save me…” It was Summer, crying and calling for Rhett to the rescue.

The room was so quiet that everyone’s eyes were glued to Rhett in shock.

Since when did Mr. FitzGerald have a kid? Had he been keeping his marriage under wraps?

Listening to the crying on the phone, Rhett clenched his heart and shot up from his seat.

He gestured to his deputy to carry on with the meeting and strode towards the exit. “Summer, what’s happened?” :

“They… they set the house on fire, I’m scared…” Summer was crying so hard she was gasping for breath. “Daddy, they hit me. There’s so much blood. It won’t stop. They hit Uncle Garner too, his hands are all bloody… Mommy’s gone.”

Rhett turned as dark as a storm cloud, his mood plunging to rock bottom.

Everyone in the conference room watched Rhett with a mix of fear and awe. Was Mr. FitzGerald about to go on a rampage?
