Chapter 208

“Oh and, Harriet’s got the day off today, said she was gonna swing by and hang out with you,” Rhett said, walking a few steps before turning back to look at Kristin.

With Harriet keeping Kristin company, he could rest a bit easier.

Kristin stared at Rhett in shock.

Before she came here, the butler had made it crystal clear that Mr. FitzGerald was a stickler for cleanliness, cherished his peace and quiet, and absolutely forbade bringing outsiders home. It would enrage Mr. FitzGerald. Yet he… seemed to truly indulge her.

The FitzGerald Group.

“Mr. FitzGerald, you finally came. The chairman wants to fire Kristin. He says her mother made a scene at the office and disrupted our workflow,” Lisa from HR hurried over as soon as she saw Rhett.

“Who said that was Kristin’s mother?” Rhett demanded with a steely voice.

Everyone was stunned. That woman wasn’t Kristin’s mother?

“The chairman’s waiting for you in his office.” Holcomb’s assistant was also there to meet Rhett.

Rhett huffed and headed straight for the elevator.

Holcomb was already sitting in the boardroom, certain that Rhett was going to show up.

“So I hear you want to fire my personal assistant?” Rhett didn’t beat around the bush as he entered the office.

“What’s it to you? Can’t I fire a mere assistant?” Holcomb’s voice was heavy with authority as he slapped the table. “The company’s a mess. What are you doing about it?”

“Exactly what has my assistant done wrong?” Rhett’s icy gaze was fixed on Holcomb.

They were at loggerheads, a true clash of wills, but it was clear that Holcomb’s presence was no match for Rhett’s.

Holcomb naturally backed down, feeling the pressure even in his back.

Rhett was all grown up, ready to rebel.

“Rhett, how can you talk to Dad like this? He’s our father, after all. You should show him respect,” Vincent chimed in from the side, fanning the flames.

“I’m having a conversation with my dad. Since when does a bastard like you get a say?” Rhett didn’t hide his disdain for Vincent.
