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

Chapter 215

In the upscale offices of the FitzGerald Group, Granger lounged on a plush leather couch, cracking open a bag of roasted peanuts. “Madge is dodging the paternity test, something’s definitely fishy,” he said, “I’ve done my homework. When Ruby was living with the Collinses, Madge treated her like a princess. Even if she was just sucking up to her for being a rich heiress, it doesn’t make sense that she’d turn on her own daughter that fast after getting her back.”

Rhett nodded in agreement. “It is suspicious.”

“But, this won’t stump me,” Granger said with a cocky raise of his eyebrow. “Give me a strand of Garner’s hair and one from Kristin. I’ll run a DNA test and we’ll have our answers.”

Rhett leaned back in his armchair. “Always good to have you around in a pinch.”

“Listen to you,” Granger scoffed as he stood up, straightening his jacket. “How about a little advance for my troubles? That sports car you bought last year…”

Rhett cut him off. “Solve the problem first, then we’ll talk rewards.”

Granger shot him a disgusted look. “You are so pity as a rich guy. That car’s just collecting dust in your garage. Are you waiting for it to rust into scrap metal?”

“Sorry, I’m a married man now,” Rhett said, a smug smile creeping across his face as he took a sip of his coffee. “Everything I own, including that car, is now shared property with my wife.”

Granger’s mouth twitched in annoyance. Ever since Rhett had tricked Kristin into signing a prenup and tied the knot, he had been acting like he was on top of the world.

“Puppy love, puppy love,” Granger spat out with a mix of envy and resentment. “Ends up with nothing in the end.”

“I have a wife,” Rhett reminded him.

“Yeah, yeah,” Granger grumbled, grinding his molars. “Go on then, make it official.”

Rhett raised an eyebrow. “Now you’re playing psychic?”

Granger was shocked, lunging toward Rhett, touching his forehead as if checking for fever, circling around him in disbelief. “Have you been bewitched? Are you still the Rhett I know? You’re actually considering going public with this? At a time like this, have you lost your mind?”

Rhett was supposed to be at the office today because the Haywoods were visiting the FitzGerald Group, and the place was swarming with reporters, probably awaiting the official announcement of the marriage between the Haywood and FitzGerald families.

“Get out,” Rhett said with disdain. Ever since he got married, he didn’t feel like talking to single folks anymore.

“Mr. FitzGerald, Mr. Holcomb is asking for you,” York called from outside, sounding a bit anxious.

“What’s the matter?” Rhett asked, his voice deep.
