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

Chapter 199

Chapter 199

Eve stared at Vincent in shock, as if she couldn’t believe her ears. “What are you planning?”

When did her little brother start scheming against even children?

She lowered her voice, speaking almost in a whisper. “Have you lost your mind?”

“Milo?” Holcomb inquired, briefly interjecting.

It was clear that Holcomb was the type to justify any means for his ends.

Rhett’s capabilities were well–known within the FitzGerald Group. Holcomb had put Rhett on ‘leave‘ to intimidate him, but it backfired when the company started to falter without him.

Now, with Rhett using this as an excuse not to return, Holcomb was getting desperate.

And he was ready to do anything to get Rhett back.

“Dad… The Gladstones haven’t been looking after Milo much recently, and I can’t keep up. Milo refuses to go home, he’s always staying with Summer at Rhett’s house,” Eve said quietly.

In fact, on the day she got drunk and forgot to pick up Milo, she was surprised that Rhett

had taken the initiative to look after Milo and even brought him home, where Milo had such a good time he didn’t want to leave.

In Eve’s eyes, Rhett had always been aloof, as if he was above her and Vincent.

By extension, she thought he’d feel the same about Milo.

But, to her surprise, Milo had taken a real shine to his uncle.

He even cried, not wanting to leave.

This showed that Rhett had genuinely put his heart into caring for Milo.

It was unexpected for Eve and, in some small way, it touched her.

“Let Milo lure that little brat Summer out, and keep the Collins family from finding him for a while. If something happens, Garner is bound to call Kristin, and if Kristin comes back, Rhett will naturally follow,” Vincent strategized.

Eve snapped, annoyed. “You’re using a child, Milo is only five, what are
