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

Chapter 76

Vincent got hauled off by the cops, but the chamber of commerce shindig just kept rolling on.

Rhett was still the brightest star at the banquet, with a swarm of folks itching to rub elbows with him.

But Rhett always had an indifferent vibe plastered on his face..

This man, who virtually ruled the business world, naturally exuded an air of condescension, as if always peering from his ivory tower.

“Mr. FitzGerald, fancy a drink?” some actress made a beeline for Rhett to get to know him.

Everyone in the loop knew Rhett wasn’t one for chasing skirts or being easy to get chummy with, but there were always those who thought they were hot stuff to take a shot.

If Rhett took a shine to her, then she’d be on cloud nine for sure.

The FitzGerald Group’s film and TV empire was always the bellwether in showbiz. Everyone. wanted to sign up with them and be one of the superstars under Rhett’s leadership.

“Sorry, Mr. FitzGerald doesn’t drink, York stepped in with a smile, playing the buffer for Rhett.

Rhett, nursing a champagne glass, was glued to his phone screen the whole time. He was waiting for a call from the hospital.

No call meant Kristin hadn’t woken up yet.

Rhett furrowed his brow, feeling like he might’ve gone too easy on someone earlier.

At Crescendo Central Hospital, Kristin woke to find herself alone in the room.

Taking a deep breath, she felt parched in her throat.

She wore a breathing mask, clearly displeased with its presence. Frowning and struggling a bit, she felt utterly drained.

Against all odds, she’d survived.

Her head was spinning something fierce. The side effects of losing too much blood were kicking in.

“Ms. Turner, you’re awake,” the nurse rushed in, supporting Kristin. “Don’t move just yet, lie down for a bit longer.”

Kristin curled up, her belly cramping up something nasty.

She’d walked too long in the frigid snow last night. Her body just couldn’t handle it.

“Ms. Turner, is it that time of the period?” The nurse saw blood on the bed and dashed to grab a sanitary pad.

Kristin had bled quite a bit last night. Even though she was treated in time, coupling it with her
