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

Chapter 126

Ruby brimmed with tears as she clung to Vincent’s shirt, her grip tight and desperate. “Vincent. why should I apologize to her? What gives her the right to demand an apology from me?”

Vincent darkened his expression. He knew Rhett’s temperament all too well. Even someone as influential as Holcomb might fail to persuade him, let alone Vincent himself.

Looking up at Kristin, Vincent wished she would speak up and put an end to this debacle. After all, Kristin was indebted to Ruby. It was a debt that could never be fully repaid in this lifetime.

With her head bowed, Kristin stood silently behind Rhett.

“What are you looking at her for? Watch your woman,” Rhett said as he stepped in front of Kristin, effectively blocking Vincent’s line of sight.

Kristin felt the towering presence of Rhett before her, a sense of security that calmed her racing heart in an instant.

“Kristin, why should I apologize to you?” Ruby’s tear–filled eyes turned towards Kristin as she cried out.

With Rhett there, Vincent was powerless to protect her. But Ruby was not willing to back down.

Kristin remained silent, her gaze fixed on the ground.

“So Ms. Collins, are you admitting that you spread rumors about Kristin out of personal spite?” York stepped forward to clarify for Ruby.

“Ruby, have you lost your mind? Why drag us into your feud with Kristin?” Tam had just gotten off a phone call filled with a tirade from his parents, leaving him practically on the brink of depression.

Still fuming. Tam glared at Vincent. “Vincent, can’t you control your woman? She’s been spreading rumors for years. If it weren’t for the sake of your reputation, I’d never let her off the hook!”

Vincent’s expression darkened as he shot a warning glance at Tam, who responded with a snort of exasperation.

The others had also been berated by their families.

With Rhett applying pressure, none of their families dared to provoke him.

“Rhett, we’ve made mistakes too. We’ll hold Ruby accountable for spreading rumors, but we also failed to clear Kristin’s name right away. That’s on us,” the group quickly apologized to Kristin, hoping to avoid a lawsuit.

They feared the wrath of their families more than anything.

Besides, it was clear to anyone with eyes that Rhett was backing Kristin now. Times had changed and the tables had turned.
