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

Chapter 55

Everyone in the room was instantly in shock.

Kristin turned out to be James‘ woman….

No wonder she turned down 8 million. Since she had borne James‘ love child, even a sum of several hundred million would have been easy to secure, let alone a mere 8 million.

“You should step out for a bit.” James told Kristin to leave.

Kristin stood there, dazed, looking at James. Was it really him that night?

She fled the room in panic and holed up in the bathroom for ages, splashing her face with cold.

water non–stop.

All these years, she was tormented by the memories of that night, like a nightmare, gnawing away at her soul.

During her five years in prison, she had that terrible dream almost every night, dreaming of hands groping her wildly, and then dragging her down to hell.

She hated herself for not staying sober that night or sinking with the drugged drinks.

What Kristin couldn’t come to terms with the most was that, she had given up resisting at the end. She was actually responding to him.

“Kris, you okay?” Yara asked quietly when Kristin returned with her hair all wet.

Kristin just shook her head.

“The HR department wants us to fill out our personal information, you should do it.”

Kristin took the form, glanced at it, and took a deep breath.

That survey was so detailed, it even asked if you were single.

In the name field, Kristin was about to write her name but thought better of it and wrote Kristin Collins instead.

The name “Kristin Turner” had followed her for over twenty years. For the first twenty, it was a badge of pride. But these last few years, it had become a label of disgrace.

The Turner family hated her but wouldn’t let her go. She had been kicked out by the Turner family, so keeping that surname was pointless.

After filling out the form, Kristin handed it back to Yara.

“It’s a really nice name.”

Kristin just smiled and said nothing.

She stayed at the front desk until 10 PM. Once the night shift person arrived, Kristin could leave.
