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

Chapter 61

Kristin froze for a second, her gaze flickering.

Had Rhett been looking for her all night?

“No, he’s Vincent’s brother,” Kristin dodged eye contact subconsciously.

“He seems different from Vincent and he gives a damn about you. I mean. As a big shot CEO to come looking for you in the middle of the night himself, he could’ve just sent someone if he wanted to grab you,” Harriet shook her head, feeling that Rhett had no bad intentions towards

Kristin.

“Harriet, did I get any packages at home?” Kristin changed the subject.

Harriet could tell Kristin wasn’t up for talking and pulled a small bag out of her purse. “Here, your brother sent it.”

Kristin glanced at it and breathed a sigh of relief. “Thanks.”

“Kris, if you’ve decided to start over, don’t let the past cage you in. I thought I’d never move on. but once you do, it’s all good,” Harriet tried to cheer Kristin up.

Kristin nodded, gripping the item in her hand. It was a lock of hair with the follicles from Summer. She needed James to get a paternity test done with Summer as soon as possible.

She had to confirm James‘ identity.

“Your outfit…” Harriet landed her eyes on Kristin’s clothes, instantly recognizing the high–end bespoke brand, way out of the league for most people. It was a single piece costing a small

-fortune.

“Mr. Bryce?” Harriet guessed herself, shocked as she pulled Kristin into the restroom. “Kristin, think this through. James, like Rhett, is out of our league. Do you know how many women James has had over the years? He…”

“He might be the father of my child,” Kristin whispered.

Harriet inhaled sharply, biting her lip in thought. “James has a woman named Linda, a celebrity. She’s not someone you cross lightly. Be careful.”

Harriet was worried Linda might seek revenge on Kristin.

“But, Linda isn’t the real problem. Have you heard that the Bryce family and the Haywood family of Silvergrove City might be tying the knot? The Haywood family had been hyping it up for ages, which seems like a done deal,” Harriet felt sorry for Kristin’s tough fate.

She didn’t believe these rich folks genuinely liked Kristin.

Kristin was a woman who’d been to jail and had a kid. To these big shots, she wasn’t even a plaything on their list of priorities.
