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

Chapter 112

Rhett’s voice carried a dangerous edge as he confronted the teacher, “How could my kid be released from your school without proper identification? If anything happens to Summer, you’re directly responsible.” The warning in his tone was unmistakable.

“Mr., Mr. FitzGerald, the headmaster…” The teacher’s voice trembled, fear evident in the stutter. “Get me the headmaster. Now!” Rhett’s voice remained low and menacing as he whipped out his cell phone and dialed his assistant, York. “Check the nearby CCTV footage. Find out who look Summer. Move fast.”

Soon, the headmaster strode out, his face flushed with anxiety. “Mr. FitzGerald… I…”

“My child is in this school for one reason, which is security. And yet, someone just waltzed in and took him? How did you let this happen?” Rhett’s cold demeanor was cracking, his anger barely contained.

“Mr. FitzGerald, your son?” The headmaster stuttered, his eyes scanning the logbook. “You mean Summer? A Mr. Carter, who claimed to be the child’s grandfather, picked him up on behalf of her father.”

Kristin’s grip on her phone tightened until her knuckles turned white. The patriarch of the Bryce family had come for Summer. What was his game?

“No father, no grandfather… Why didn’t you call me? You have my number!” Kristin’s voice was frantic, her fear palpable.

Rhett wrapped an arm around Kristin, his voice a soothing rumble. “The school better have a good explanation for this.”

Without another word, Rhett escorted Kristin away. “If Carter acknowledges Summer as a Bryce, he won’t harm him. He’s too smart to be lured away by strangers. Once we find him, we’ll get some answers.”

Kristin’s face was ghostly pale, her body shaking as she fell to the ground, tears threatening to spill. The idea of fighting the Bryce family for custody of Summer terrified her.

“Kristin, breathe,” Rhett said as he crouched before her. “Look at me. Summer’s okay. No one can take him from you without your consent. Trust me.”

Looking into Rhett’s eyes, her breath hitched, but she found comfort there, much to her
