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

Chapter 207

At Rhett’s place.

Kristin was bustling about the kitchen, preparing a hearty breakfast of pancakes and bacon when Rhett, who had just dropped off Summer at school, leaned against the dining table, sipping on a glass of water.

Melissa was truly formidable. The kindergarten had already gone through a change of principals and was still undergoing reforms. Rumors had it that the former principal and a handful of teachers were caught in a corruption scandal.

Rhett’s phone vibrated. He glanced at the screen to find a message from Lisa, the head of

1. HR.

“Mr. FitzGerald…” Lisa sounded anxious, clearly sneaking him inside information. “Kristin’s mother is causing a scene at the company. The CEO and board members are all present, and she’s put Kristin in the line of fire. Now, the board and CEO are suggesting we

terminate Kristin’s contract…”

“Kristin is my personal assistant, and her employment is my responsibility. Not even the CEO has the authority to fire my staff,” Rhett said firmly.

“But… Kristin’s mother is making a huge fuss. What should we do?” The situation couldn’t

continue like this.

Rhett’s face darkened, and after a moment of silence, he made a decision.

Was this woman named Madge inherently heartless?

Kristin was her daughter, after all. Was Madge trying to ruin her?

“Leave this to me.” Rhett hung up and stepped onto the balcony, dialing Garner’s number. “I’ll be at the company in forty minutes. Your mother is already there causing trouble. Can you handle her? Don’t let Kristin know for now.”

Even through the phone, Rhett could feel Garner’s anger.

“She took Holcomb’s money, and now she’s making a scene at the company entrance?” Garner’s voice trembled with rage.

“Kristin, is she really your biological mother?” Rhett was dubious.

“I’ve had my doubts, but I know my mother had a daughter–that’s for sure. Maybe she

didn’t raise her… I’m sorry for the trouble. I’ll take care of it,” Garner said before hanging up in a hurry.
