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

Chapter 161

Kristin’s eyes were wide with shock as she stared at Rhett.

Was he really going all out today?

He even notified the police and the press.

Taking a deep breath, Kristin clutched Rhett’s collar tightly.

Burning bridges with Holcomb did him no favors given his current predicament.

Rhett smiled, taking Kristin’s hand in his. “I promised you a show, didn’t I?”

He was far from done with this matter.

“You’ve lost your mind. You’re insane!” Holcomb began to quiver with fear.

Vincent stood frozen, watching the exchange between Rhett and Kristin, feeling as though a knife had been plunged into his heart.

“You’re bewitched, seduced by this temptress!” Holcomb, seething with anger, picked up a vase from the table and hurled it at Kristin and Rhett.

Rhett frowned, instinctively pulling Summer into his arms and stepping in front of Kristin to shield her from the flying shards.

“Nicola, you’re suspected of incitement to commit grievous harm. Please come with us for an investigation.”

Holcomb was at a loss for words.

“It’s all a misunderstanding, just a family affair. We’ll settle it ourselves,” Nicola said in a panic, looking nervously at Holcomb.

It was a critical time for the selection of the company’s vice president. Even though she knew Holcomb would find a way to get her out, she couldn’t stand it.

If anything went wrong, the consequence was beyond imagination.

Glaring at Rhett, Nicola snapped, “Rhett, for a woman, you’re even turning your back on your father.”

“You’re so cruel.” Summer whispered fearfully, clinging tightly to Rhett. “Daddy, I will protect you from now on.”

Rhett felt a lump in his throat, his eyes beginning to burn.

He smiled, patting Summer’s head gently. “It’s okay, sweetheart.”

“Mr. FitzGerald, we heard that Mrs. FitzGerald poisoned you. Is that true?”

“Mr. FitzGerald, was the housekeeper from Harborside Haven who poisoned you acting under Mrs. FitzGerald’s orders?”
