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

Chapter 145

Garner was utterly flabbergasted.

His frail boss, who could nearly faint from sunbathing due to low blood sugar, surprisingly delivered a roundhouse kick any martial arts master would be proud of.

Adrienne was pinned against the wall, her head having smacked into it with a thud that left her seeing stars.

It took her a moment to gather her wits, her eyes wide with shock as she locked gazes with Melissa.

How dare Melissa kick her?

“You… you kicked me?” Adrienne asked in disbelief.

“How did my kid get those bruises on his face?” Melissa grabbed a fistful of Adrienne’s hair, glaring menacingly at the dumbstruck bodyguards. “Get out of here, all of you! This is a hospital!”

The bodyguards exchanged glances, still reeling from the surprise when Melissa’s entourage. cleared the area.

Adrienne’s protectors were mostly security guards, there for show rather than skill. Melissa’s ex–husband was a big shot in the underworld and her guards were practically mercenaries.

Kristin stood trembling, unsure of the unfolding situation.

Rhett covered Kristin’s mouth before she could speak, signaling her to stay silent. Someone was already giving Adrienne a lesson, so there was no need to interrupt.

Truth be told, Rhett had planned on giving Adrienne a lesson of his own that evening. However, his methods were more commercial in nature. En route, he had already warned the Haywood family to end all business ties, extending beyond mere contracts to any industry they had their fingers in.

And now, as Adrienne’s father bombarded Rhett with calls he ignored, the Haywood family must

be scrambling to the scene.

But this trick was outshone by Melissa’s physical approach.

“You crazy bitch.” Adrienne wailed in pain, as Melissa dragged her by the hair towards a hospital bed.

With a resounding crash, Melissa slammed Adrienne’s head against the metal frame.

Summer shivered, his wide eyes fixed on Melissa, thinking how cool she looked.

“Boy, did Adrienne do this to you?” Melissa asked.

Summer nodded, then shook his head. “The glass broke, and I got cut by the shards.”
