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

Chapter 147

“Jeez, the Haywood family’s daughters are Interesting. A hypocritical delicate beauty, huh?” Melissa sneered.

Garner took a deep breath and walked over, pressing a hand over Melissa’s mouth.

“Zip it. Let’s not stir the pot, okay?”

Melissa batted her eyelashes at Garner flirtatiously. “Darling, are you worried about me?”

“I…” Garner felt a tingling sensation in his palm. Melissa was clearly baiting him.

He jerked his hand away and stood behind Melissa with a stern expression. “Boss, keep it professional, will you?”

“Not a chance.” Melissa leaned back against Garner, letting her full weight rest on him.

At this point, if Garner stepped back, she would tumble to the ground.

But she dared to practically lie in his arms.

Garner, fighting the urge to react, stood straight and helpless.

Melissa tilted her head back and continued to tease Garner, acting as if she wasn’t the one who had caused a scene with Adrienne, just an innocent bystander watching a play.

“Rhett,” Richter scolded in a deep voice, taking the stance of an elder. “You know Hertha’s condition better than anyone. Whatever happened between you two, I need not remind you. Now that your father has agreed to the marriage between our families, you better weigh priorities.”

It was clear he was confident that Rhett would marry Hertha.

“Holcomb’s agreement has nothing to do with me,” Rhett murmured softly as he patted Summer’s back to comfort him. “He’s tired. As an elder, you should know to keep your voice down. It’s a matter of manners.”

“You!” Richter was visibly upset. “Holcomb, look at your son!”

Holcomb was ashen, but he was somewhat at fault due to the incident with Nicola at Harborside Haven and couldn’t be too assertive. “Rhett, step outside. Now.”

Rhett showed no intention of heeding Holcomb. “Do you think what Adrienne did was right?”
