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

Chapter 70

James darkened his face for a moment and furrowed his brows as he stared at Adrienne. thinking, “What was Adrienne doing showing up early in Crescendo Town?”

“James, you gotta help me.” Adrienne sobbed, pleading for his aid.

When he glanced at Kristin, James got the picture to know that Adrienne was here to stir up

trouble with Kristin.

Instinctively stepping in front of Kristin, James quietly asked, “Did she lay a hand on you?”

Kristin kept her head down, not looking up.

James turned icy in a flash, turning back to Adrienne. “Is this how your family teach you?”

Adrienne, shocked, stared at James in disbelief. “James… I’m your fiancée, and you’re accusing me without even asking? She seduced you first, why can’t I hit her!”

Kristin remained silent, not saying a word.

“You better take a hard look at yourself, or nobody’s gonna be able to help you.” James warned Adrienne with a cold look in his eyes, figuring he’d settle scores with her later.

“James! Kristin, tell the cops we were just joking around! Kristin! Don’t wait for me to get out!” Adrienne, red–faced with anger, continued to threaten Kristin.

James grew dark as he let the cops take Adrienne away. He took Kristin’s hand, intending to take her to the hospital.

But Kristin instinctively pulled away, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.

James hadn’t denied this relationship with Adrienne, which meant he acknowledged his alliance with the Haywood family. Sooner or later, Adrienne would be his wife in name.

If Kristin kept hanging with James, all the humiliation she suffered today was on her.

James paused, turning back to look at Kristin, who stayed silent.

“Mr. Bryce, take a look at Miss Adrienne’s Twitter,” Bill said, shaking with anger. They had bullied Kristin like this five years ago.

Kristin was the victim… How dare Adrienne post that video?

James gripped his phone so hard the screen shattered.

Idiot! Adrienne was such a fool. If it weren’t for the Haywood family still being of value…

“Mr. Fitzgerald, did you call the cops?” Tossing his phone to Bill, James shot Rhett a look.
