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

Chapter 105

Who would marry a woman who couldn’t bear children?

“Hale, I finally saw your true colors,” Harriet leaned against the bed, her voice dripping with sarcasm as she gazed at him, a visage of calm belying the tumult within.

After one betrayal too many, Harriet no longer trusted any man.

Hale must have gone to great lengths in order to win Harriet’s heart. But alas, when she finally mustered the courage to offer her scar–ridden heart to him, he mercilessly trampled it underfoot, leaving it bleeding on the ground.

Kristin was timid by nature, having dealt with so much over the years, her social anxiety and apprehension preventing her from looking any strange man in the eye.

“She brought it on herself, flirting around and getting involved with people she shouldn’t have,” Hale retorted, visibly annoyed.

Harriet’s face turned pale with fury, and in a fit of rage, she hurled the stuff from the nearby table to the floor, scattering the money in his direction. “Get out. Just get out!”

Kristin bit her lip, her eyes reddening.

“Wait… just wait,” Kristin stuttered, anger seizing her.

Hale stopped in his tracks, turning back with a frown.

Kristin grabbed a glass of water that Yara had poured earlier, which was still hot, and threw it in Hale’s face.

The water scalded his skin, and he stumbled back in pain, fury burning in his eyes. “Are you freaking insane?”

Kristin clenched her fists. “You deserve it.”

“Get out!” Yara rushed forward and shoved Hale out of the room.

Hale wanted to hurl more insults at Kristin but was stopped by the sudden appearance of
