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.

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?”
