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

Chapter 79

Bright and early the next morning. Kristin had just woken up when she heard a ruckus outside.

A bunch of people were talking.

“We’re from Angelic Guard International Nursery. Here’s our head of academic affairs, Mr. Collins. We’re here to check on one of our students who’s been sick and missing school.”

“Yep. Mr. FitzGerald gave us a ring himself.”

“Mr. Collins, you’re all about the Summer’s future, right? We can’t have him missing out on school. We’re sincere about this and we will take good care of Summer.”

“Summer’s got top marks in IQ and entrance exams, a real whiz kid. It’d be such a waste for a talent like that to go anywhere else.”

Kristin propped herself up on her elbow and eavesdropped a little.

Rhett must’ve called the school. Otherwise, why would a fancy school’s big cheese come knocking at their door?

“Our principal has been unwell and transferred out.”

“Yeah, we don’t know what’s up with Principal Haywood, but she got moved to another campus because of some blunders.”

Kristin’s gaze fell as she leaned against the wall.

It was

Rhett who must’ve known Adrienne could blast that video to all the parents. It wasn’t a fluke. Principal Haywood must’ve had a big part in it.

“We’ll be attending school as usual today. I’ll take Summer there in a bit.”

Kristin stepped out, speaking in a hushed tone.

The school official visibly relaxed, greeting her warmly. “Ms. Turner, right? Mr. FitzGerald has given us special requirements. Don’t worry. We’ll take great care of Summer.”

Kristin was taken aback by the enthusiasm and instinctively took a step back. “Okay.” she replied.

“Summer is such a bright child and so adorable! We love having geniuses like him.”

Kristin eyed the suddenly over–the–top school official and couldn’t help but sense the irony and reality of it all.

Just after one phone call from Rhett, these people completely changed their attitudes.

Harriet was right. You’ve gotta have some clout.
