When the Boss’ Lady Became His Sister-in-law
Chapter 175
Chapter 175
The moment Rhett made his move, it was as if the Haywood family had been completely obliterated.
He had promised that if the Haywood family publicly acknowledged the mistakes made by Adrienne, he would let them off the hook.
With trembling fingers, Hertha called Rhett and asked, “Rhett, why are you doing this?”
Rhett actually gave Hertha the time of day and picked up the call.
“You promised me, Rhett. You said if we owned up to Adrienne’s mistakes, you’d let us go,” Hertha sobbed, questioning him, “Why are you doing this to me? Where did I go wrong?”
Rhett let Hertha finish crying before he spoke, “The ones not letting you off now are the victims, not me.”
“Rhett…” Hertha’s voice was fraught with desperation, “Why must you treat me like this?”
“Hertha, you’re a smart cookie, you know. I’ve left your family a way out. Adrienne needs to vanish from Silvergrove City for good, never to return. Your family needs to keep a low profile, and maybe then I’ll give you a fighting chance,” Rhett said, well aware that cornering them could lead to desperate measures.
Besides, Rhett’s concern wasn’t with the Haywoods, but it was with Holcomb.
The Haywoods must have had some dirt on Holcomb.
Otherwise, Holcomb wouldn’t be so invested in the Haywood’s affairs.
In the short thirty minutes since he’d returned to the office, Rhett had received a whopping thirty calls from Holcomb.
That was one call for every minute.
The old guard was getting antsy.
It really was a community of shared interests, a single thread pulled the whole web.
Hertha gasped, not yet ready to burn bridges with Rhett, “Rhett, I was sincere with you. Regardless of what happened six years ago, I wasn’t scheming against you.”
Rhett didn’t give Hertha a chance to explain any further, nor did he want to hear it. He hung up.
Hertha wanted to say more, but the line was dead.
With a surge of bitterness tightening her grip, Hertha took another deep breath.
