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

Chapter 92

Kristin kept mum.

“Trust someone from the FitzGerald family? Don’t forget who landed you in prison for five years.” On the other end of the line, the man was agitated.

Kristin was silent for a long while before whispering, “Regardless, he’s saved my life more than

once.”

“Pfft… Same old tricks. You’re only a pawn in his game against Nicola and Vincent,” the man warned Kristin. “Leave Rhett out of it,” Kristin took a deep breath, trying to caution the man.

“Ha.” The man laughed before responding. “Fine then. Not often you ask me for favors.”

At the FitzGerald Group, in the CEO’s office.

“Mr. FitzGerald, have you read the news? Someone’s stirring the pot. Now, everyone’s badmouthing Vincent as a bastard child and Nicola as the mistress who clawed her way up. Kristin’s not behind this, right?” York burst into the office, all fired up.

But then, York started to worry. “Mr. FitzGerald, you didn’t have a hand in this, did you?”

Rhett had only asked him to post the video of Vincent assaulting someone online.

With Vincent’s old bar fighting days being dredged up again, he was a hot topic and stayed at the top of the trending searches.

The FitzGerald Group was caught in the eye of the storm, too.

Taking on Vincent was risky for Rhett since any glory or scandal would affect the entire FitzGerald family. But Rhett had agreed to help Kristin.

“Has Nicola been giving Kristin trouble these past few days?” Rhett tossed the documents on

his desk.

“Nicola’s too scared to even step outside now, let alone cause trouble.” York chuckled, recalling how Nicola had always tried to present herself as a high–society lady. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t erase the fact that she was a homewrecker who had climbed her way up as the other woman.

“But, Mr. FitzGerald, there’s word about the bodyguards involved,” York whispered.

Holcomb was planning to have someone take the fall.

“Is everything in place?” Rhett raised an eyebrow.

York nodded, taking a sharp breath. “Are you planning to let Vincent do time?”

Rhett had anticipated that Holcomb would try to pin the blame on the bodyguards and had already approached them beforehand. So, they wouldn’t dare to take the fall for Vincent so
