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

Chapter 88

At Silvergrove Hospital, Rhett sat outside the emergency room, looking down in the dumps.

“Mr. FitzGerald…” York dared not to come any closer because Rhett seemed a bit scary.

York had only seen Rhett like this twice before. Once at his mother’s funeral and the other at

this moment.

York knew Rhett well. They were somewhat related, and he knew since childhood that Rhett was always the genius and the golden boy in everyone’s eyes.

But from the first time York laid eyes on Rhett, he knew Rhett wasn’t living a happy life.

Rhett had the ability, the talent, and the strength, but he never seemed truly happy.

Being born into the FitzGerald family, the responsibilities and pressures on him seemed way heavier than on the average Joe.

“James has landed Mr. Vincent in the hospital. Nicola is already in the loop, and Mr. Holcomb is

on his way. It might blow up a big deal. If your family has to point fingers, they wouldn’t

dare to blame James directly. They’d probably take it out on Kristin.”

York spoke softly, giving Rhett a heads–up.

In Crescendo Town, the Bryce and the FitzGerald families were strong allies. Besides that, Nicola and Vincent wouldn’t dare to cross the Bryce family as they were busy sucking up to them and trying to snag the inheritance rights to the FitzGerald Group.

But they would make a scapegoat out of Kristin.

“Let them try,” Rhett said, his voice deep and his eyes dark and intimidating.

“Mr. FitzGerald, are you sure you don’t need to recuse yourself from this situation?” York gasped.

It seemed best for Rhett to stay out of it. Once Rhett got involved, it would be hard for him to extricate himself later.

Nicola and Vincent had been up to their little shenanigans for years, waiting to catch Rhett in a trap.

“Recuse me? Huh, funny.” Rhett snorted, glancing at York. “Garner’s garage has CCTV. Get Garner to hand the footage to the cops. If he didn’t learn his lesson in Crescendo Town, it’s time he learns it now.”

“And the part where Mr. Bryce hit Mr. Vincent…” York shivered with fear.

Rhett was seriously declaring war on Nicola.

Sending his brother to the police station would be a slap in the face for the FitzGerald family and Holcomb.
