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

Chapter 23

Were they picking on Kristin again?

Seeing Kristin’s messy hair and torn clothes, even an idiot could tell these jerks had been up to nasty tricks.

“Are you guys ever going to cut it out?” Tam’s sudden burst of anger came out with a kick to a guy lounging nearby.

The kicked guy got pissed. “What’s your deal, Tam?”

As the two squared up to fight, the others jumped in to break it up. “We’re all buddies here. No need to ruin the vibe.”

“Who the hell is buddying with him? He has kicked me over some chick!” The rich kid who got kicked whined, looking wronged.

Tam glanced at Vincent, sitting in a corner, brooding silently.

Tam frowned and took off his jacket, draping it over Kristin. “I’ll get her out of here.”

The rich brats started to tease. “Tam, you’re such a hopeless romantic, huh?”

“Weren’t you at the hotel that night, too? Isn’t Kristin’s kid yours?” the rich kid, who got kicked, asked with a nasty sneer.

Tam had a short fuse and was about to throw a punch.

The guy quickly dodged to the side.

Kristin numbly followed Tam and left the private room.

The corridor outside the bar was deafening, with young people partying wildly on the dance

floor.

Kristin’s ears were ringing, and her steps were unsteady.
