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

Chapter 186

Chapter 186

Kristin nestled Into Rhett’s embrace, a sense of Inexplicable comfort washing over her. But she couldn’t shake off the unease from her recent exchange with Vincent. Rhett must have heard their conversation. Had he misunderstood?

Vincent’s eyes met Rhett’s, a silent battle raging between them in the confines of the elevator.

“Kristin’s my ex, brother. Aren’t you worried about the gossip? That people will laugh at you?” Vincent’s taunt was clear, a reminder for Rhett to protect his reputation.

Rhett scoffed coldly. “You’re engaged to someone else and still obsessing over your brother’s girl. If word gets out, whose reputation do you think will suffer?”

Vincent clenched his fists. “Who doesn’t know Kristin and I have a history?”

“Who doesn’t make mistakes in love?” Rhett’s icy gaze drilled into Vincent.

As tension mounted, Kristin instinctively wrapped her arms around Rhett, whispering softly, “I… I’ve learned from my mistake.”

Vincent’s grip tightened, his face turning stormy with anger.

Kristin, are you trying to provoke me?

“Rhett, you hate me so much that you must compete with me at every turn. Kristin was the one I discarded, yet you treasure her,” Vincent sneered as he stepped out of the elevator.

“The way you scrounge for dignity is just pitiful,” Rhett retorted, holding Kristin’s hand tightly.

Vincent’s knuckles whitened with tension. After a moment’s pause, he stormed off.

Soon enough, Rhett would get his comeuppance.

Neal was stirring up trouble with the project team, and Rhett would have to explain the mess to the board.

After Vincent’s departure, Kristin tried to wriggle free from Rhett’s grasp, but he held her wrist firmly, pulling her into his office. Rhett’s anger was palpable, and Kristin was frightened.

Her heart rose to her throat.

She was scared of Rhett’s wrath, the thought that he might not want to have anything to do with her

“Are you still in love with Vincent? Hoping he’ll break off his engagement to Ruby?” Rhett’s anger was evident.

Kristin looked at him, trembling and at a loss for words.
