When the Boss’ Lady Became His Sister-in-law (Kristin and Garner) novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98 

In the Bryce family of Crescendo Town 

“Boss, take a look at this.” The assistant burst into the living room, quickly taking out the paternity test result. 

Carter’s face darkened as he stared at the document, falling silent for long. “A woman like Kristin doesn’t deserve to bear a child of the Bryce family.” 

“Boss, what do you reckon we should do about this?” The assistant asked nervously. 

Carter furrowed his brows, lost in thought. “The child is innocent, after all. Since he carries the Bryce family blood, he can’t grow up around such a woman.” 

Kristin had a terrible reputation, and Carter didn’t trust her with his grandson. 

“What good can this kind of girl like her teach a kid? She’s pulled all the stops to cling to the high and mighty, shameless.” Carter slammed the table in anger. “Get James to see me!” 

Carter thought, “Kristin had got some nerve. Since she was out of prison, even a good kid like James started to sass me! She was indeed something.” 

“If Mr. Bryce refuses to return…” The assistant sounded worried. 

“If he doesn’t return, bring the child here. We can’t let that kind of woman mislead the Bryce family’s blood.” Carter spoke with a heavy tone. 

“Kristin, that type of woman, fooled the Turner family for twenty years for glory and wealth. She certainly won’t let go and hand over the child. She’ll probably make some outrageous demands. Adrienne is still in the police station. Kristin refuses to drop the charges, and the case will go to the prosecution soon. The Haywood family probably won’t let it slide, either,” the assistant fretted. 

Carter snorted coldly. “It’s all about money, right? Go and ask her how much she wants.” Considering Kristin gave birth to Bryce, Carter wouldn’t be too stingy, but Kristin mustn’t be greedy. “Tell the Haywood family that I’ll handle Adrienne’s. Whatever Adrienne has 

suffered, the Haywood family will compensate accordingly. Give the Influx Enterprise project to them and drop the profit margin by five points. As for Kristin, tell her to lay off for now.” 

In Carter’s eyes, the smartest thing Kristin did was to bear James‘ child against all odds. 

Blood is thick. Carter understood that well. 

Given that Kristin was the mother of his precious grandson, Carter wouldn’t let anyone hurt her and might even ensure she lived a life of comfort. But Kristin had to know her place and be 

content. 

“Got it.” The assistant took a deep breath, realizing Carter had changed his mind about his grandson, no longer pushing for a private settlement with the Haywood family.

It was evident that Carter had high hopes for the kid. 

The FitzGerald Group. 

“Lisa, I heard about an opening for a personal assistant to Mr. FitzGerald. Could you please pull some strings for me? I’m pretty qualified.” 

The HR manager lounged back in her chair, chuckling. “Well, I can’t help you with that. York has picked someone and said she would report for duty this morning at nine. I’m waiting for her as we speak.” 

“A shoo–in? Who’s York’s pick? Does Mr. FitzGerald know about this? He hates under–the–table deals and nepotism,” a few female employees cut in, their curiosity piqued. 

“Does Mr. FitzGerald need to be bothered with such trifles?” The HR manager, Jasmine, laughed. “I bet it’s York’s girlfriend or something. How else could he be so gung–ho, coming to me for a direct appointment?” 

“And I thought York was as OCD as Mr. FitzGerald.” One of the women complained. “Who’s this lucky lady to be Mr. FitzGerald’s PA? Talk about being in the right place at the right time.” 

“You think it’s a cushy job? Why do you think that spot’s been vacant? Did you get no clue? Mr. FitzGerald’s got a thing about cleanliness, especially with women. No regular girl can get near him, let alone be his PA. It won’t be easy.” 

“Exactly. Bet the newbie won’t last a few days, just like the others who’ve tried before.” 

The women gossiped away, and the HR manager glanced at the time. It was 8:40 AM. 

Was she kept waiting like this?

“Wow, making Lisa wait for her, huh?” The sniping had already begun. 

Just then, Kristin rushed in, a bit messy. 

She had asked for directions from Rhett’s place, but the subway was a maze, and she had missed her stop. 

Luckily, she wasn’t late. 

Glancing at the time – 8:41 AM- Kristin let out a sigh of relief. 

“Hi, I’m here to report for duty.” Kristin handed her referral letter from York to the receptionist. 

In the break area, the women looked Kristin up and down, whispering amongst themselves, 

looks quite innocent, but she’s also strangely familiar.” 

“Right. I feel I’ve seen this girl somewhere before.” 

Lisa, the HR manager scrutinized Kristin, her face dropping in astonishment. 

Wasn’t this the infamous fake heiress Kristin from that shocking scandal years ago?

Lisa knew Kristin because she was tight with Nicola. 

Over the years, Nicola had been cozying up to the old staff, especially those in HR, trying to replace key positions with her people sneakily, 

“Your name’s Kristin?” Lisa stood up and approached Kristin. 

“Ma’am, good morning. I’m Kristin Collins. It’s my first day reporting for duty.” Kristin quickly bowed, handing over her referral letter.
