Chapter 160

Caleb bulged his eyes in shock as he stared at Rhett and then nervously glanced at Kristin. “Kris…”

“Not following?” Rhett’s voice was deep and gruff.

Caleb feared Rhett and his hands clenched into fists as he anxiously sought some explanation

from Kristin.

Rhett couldn’t help but find Caleb’s reaction amusing.

Here he was, a man with a wife and kids of his own, acting all forlorn as if Kristin had spurned

him.

“Rhett! You can’t be with Kristin…” Vincent blurted out in panic.

“Since when do I need your blessing to decide who I date?” Rhett’s tone was low and clear, signaling he wasn’t in the mood for a brotherly chat.

“Jerk!” Summer glared at Vincent, fury etched on his little face.

Before Kristin could react, Summer lunged forward and bit into Vincent’s hand.

“You little brat!” Vincent cursed, his hand stinging in pain, as he raised it to strike back.

Rhett grabbed Vincent’s wrist, squeezing with brute force.

Vincent twisted his face in pain as he glared at Rhett. “You know Kristin’s my girl.”

“Brat? Who are you calling a brat?” Rhett didn’t loosen his grip.

Vincent popped his wrist out of the socket and he clenched his fingers, trying to endure the agony. “He’s nothing but a brat!”

“Oh, what does that make you?” Rhett sneered, just as Nicola approached. He pushed Vincent toward her. “When your mom had you out of wedlock, what did they call you? A bastard? Or just an illegitimate child?”

“Rhett! Take it up with me, not my mom!” Vincent squared up, ready to take on Rhett.

Kristin, acting on instinct, moved protectively in front of Rhett, biting her lip as she faced

Vincent.

Vincent froze, staring at Kristin.
