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

Chapter 80

The rich guys looked at each other in shock, speechless for quite a while.

“When did Kristin start hooking up with Rhett? That’s Rhett we’re talking about!” The woman with pink hair was the first to snap out of it, shrieking in disbelief, her voice piercing.

“Does Vincent know about this? That was his ex–fiancée, for crying out loud.”

“Shit’s about to hit the fan.” Some folks were just there for the drama, but nobody dared to mess with Rhett.

“We might not dare to mess with Rhett, but we can totally spill the beans to Vincent, right? Vincent hates Kristin’s guts. If he finds out Kristin is cozying up to his brother…” One of them said with a sly grin, clearly enjoying the thought.

“I’ve got some juicy gossip.” The woman who was dropping off her kid at school chimed in with a laugh. “Bet you didn’t know, Rhett had a fling with Adrienne’s older sister, Hertha. They’ve… you know…”

The rich guys exchanged shocked glances. “Really? I thought Rhett was all neat–freaky and never touched a woman?”

“Come on, aren’t all guys hypocrites? They act all high and mighty but behind closed doors… If he steered clear of women, would he be into Kristin? Holding her hand? We all think she’s dirty. but Rhett doesn’t seem to mind.”

“Now this is gonna be a hot mess. I also heard the Haywood family’s been itching to tie the knot with the FitzGerald family. Hertha thought she was the one to bag Rhett, and now Kristin’s stolen her thunder…”

They shared a chuckle.

“The Haywood family is probably so pissed to skin Kristin alive.”

“But Kristin’s got Rhett by her side now, who’d dare touch her? Even Vincent might think twice before laying a finger on her.” The pink–haired woman sounded worried.

Kristin seemed to find her reliable support.

“How long do you think Rhett will be interested in her? Who is Rhett? The big fish of Silvergrove City’s business. Sooner or later he’s gonna get hitched, and I heard he won’t get his hands on the FitzGerald Group shares until he does. Do you think he’s gonna marry Kristin? She’s just a plaything. Once Rhett dumps her, she’ll be worse off than she is now.”

They snorted and got into their cars.

These guys loved a good show and never thought the mess was too big. The one thing that united them was making Kristin’s life miserable, but now she seemed to have snagged Rhett’s support.
