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

Chapter 225

After a brief silence, Holcomb thought he had misheard, “Who?”

“The Lewis family, Hanson,” his assistant quickly replied.

Holcomb’s demeanor changed in an instant. He waved his hand, signaling the lawyer to leave, and gave Rhett a warning glance.

Rhett wasn’t completely without his uses.

The Lewises were far more valuable than the Haywoods could ever be.

Originally, Holcomb had gone to great lengths to discuss a marriage alliance with Mrs. Lewis, but alas, the true Lewis heiress had yet to be found.

For this, Holcomb had even ordered a thorough investigation, hoping to ingratiate himself by helping the Lewises find their child.

Unfortunately, several years of searching had yielded nothing.

And now, the Lewises had come to them to discuss a marriage alliance?

The news that the Lewises had come to discuss a marriage alliance sent shockwaves through the boardroom. After all, the Lewis family was one of the chaebols.

Even though the FitzGerald Group had been developing steadily under Rhett’s leadership, who wouldn’t want to boost it even further?

There were only two sons in the FitzGerald family. Vincent was already related to the Turners by marriage, so that left only Rhett.

Though Rhett had gone public with a romance, it wouldn’t hinder a breakup and subsequent alliance with the Lewises.

“Rhett, my boy, don’t hold grudges with your dad. You have a bright future ahead of you.”

“That’s right.” The sycophants started their flattery once more.

Rhett sat stiffly in his chair, his complexion visibly darkening. He stormed out of the meeting room abruptly.

“Mr. FitzGerald?” York, thinking Rhett had arranged something in advance, beamed at him excitedly, “You set it all up and didn’t even tell me. I’m sweating bullets here.”

“Beat it,” Rhett’s voice was deep and ominous.

Was this the ‘no need to worry‘ Kristin was talking about?

Was she going to help him?

Was this the surprise Kristin had for him? Or was this some sort of jealous fit? She actually went to Hanson.

“Mr. FitzGerald, where are you off to? The Lewises are here, and aren’t you going to meet them?” York asked, puzzled.

Rhett scowled, straightening his tie as he stepped into the elevator,
