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

Chapter 93

“Kristin, this is your last warning. Drop the lawsuit and apologize to the Haywood and the FitzGerald families, prontol Otherwise, we won’t let you off the hook,” Mamie said, pointing a threatening finger at Kristin.

Kristin shook her head, retorting. “I owe you guys for twenty years of raising me, not them.”

“Kristin! You’ve grown a backbone now, huh?” Mamie raised her hand to hit Kristin.

“Mrs. Turner, are you aiming for a cellmate experience?” Rhett’s voice was ice–cold from the

doorway.

Clarence was stunned and frowned at Rhett. He wasn’t cozying up to Kristin to take a swing at Vincent. In Clarence’s eyes, Rhett was no saint either.

Giving Kristin a meaningful look, Clarence seemed he wanted to say something, but in the end. he kept mum. “Mom, Dad, let’s bounce.”

Mamie was so mad that she could hardly breathe and turned to Rhett. “What’s your deal, Rhett? Vincent is your brother, and Ruby will be your sister–in–law. You’re all family.”

Rhett cracked a smile, asking. “And how does that relate to assault being illegal?”

Seeing Mamie gearing up to say more, Johnnie tugged at her. “Let’s hit the road. Let the FitzGerald family sort their mess. As long as Ruby’s unharmed, we’re out of here.”

It was clear that it was a FitzGerald family squabble. Was Rhett helping Vincent? Even a fool could tell that was a long shot.

Mamie wasn’t born yesterday. Mad as she was, they all knew Rhett’s capabilities. He’d say ‘cut ties‘ with the Turner family, and that would be that. When Rhett got tough, he didn’t play favorites.

Alone with Rhett in the hospital room, she murmured a soft “thank you,” head bowed.

“Don’t mention it,” Rhett said, standing by the bed.

She had some tricks up her sleeve, getting the news of Nicola’s affair to resurface, a PR nightmare for FitzGerald Group that wouldn’t stay down.

With a deep look at Kristin, Rhett cupped her chin. “Who’s backing you?”

There had to be someone else behind Kristin, apart from him. The FitzGerald Group’s PR couldn’t kill the trending search. Was it James?

Kristin panicked, her gaze darting away. “I have no clue what you’re talking about, Mr. FitzGerald.

“Kristin, I said I’d help you and keep Garner and Summer safe. It’s just a verbal promise. You think that’s good enough?” Rhett felt he had underestimated her. “Did you deliberately get me to leak Vincent’s assault video, then have your people hype up Nicola’s scandal, all to tie your
