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

Chapter 211

When Rhett came home, Kristin had already prepared dinner.

Kristin was surprised, her gaze shifting to Rhett. “Milo wasn’t at school?”

Rhett nodded, not looking to pry. Maybe Milo was sick?

Kristin didn’t press further. Considering Eve’s affection for her son, there wasn’t too much to worry about.

“Yeah, Garner called the cops,” Rhett said, his survival instincts kicking in, given Madge’s sensitive status. After all, Madge was Kristin’s mother.

“Hopefully, she’ll learn her lesson this time,” Kristin murmured, aware she had caused Ri.
