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

Chapter 148

“James!”

Outside, James walked in with his assistant, barely stepping through the door before Adrienne. disheveled and frantic, crashed into him.

Frowning, James instinctively sidestepped Adrienne.

“James, they’re bullying me.” Adrienne cried, clinging to James‘ arm. “She hit me, even though she knows I’m your fiancée.”

Adrienne pointed accusingly at Melissa, who was leaning against Garner for support.

Melissa straightened up and flashed James a wry smile. “Are you calling in your boyfriend because you can’t handle a fight?”

James didn’t look at Melissa. His gaze settled on Kristin instead.

Shaking off Adrienne’s grip, he strode forward. “What are you doing at the hospital?”

Kristin looked down, silent.

Grabbing her wrist, James checked her over to make sure she wasn’t hurt and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Adrienne had gone back to Silvergrove City, and James thought Kristin would be spending the evening at Harborside Haven, so he had let his guard down.

Given Adrienne’s nature, it was clear she would have lashed out at Kristin.

“Did she hurt you?” James asked, his voice a low rumble, as Kristin remained silent.

“It’s Summer… they hurt Summer.” Kristin instinctively moved behind Rhett, seeking refuge.

Rhett was dark with fury as he glared at James.

To Rhett, Vincent was a fool not worth considering, but James was different.

He had to tread carefully around James.

James, a formidable opponent in business, had already gained the upper hand with Kristin. The fact that Summer was related to him by blood made Rhett jealous of the murderous rage.

It was then that James realized Rhett was holding Summer.

“Summer.” James reached out to take his son.

“My son’s asleep,” Rhett warned him.
