Hanson frowned, his expression sour as a batch of turned milk.
Rhett, the best? “Hah...”
Ascornful chuckle escaped Hanson’s lips before he spoke again. “Given Rhett’s current situation, the only asset to his name is
SilverScreen Entertainment. If he loses his shares in the FitzGerald Group, he''ll be kicked to the curb, left with nothing but that
entertainmentpany... It’s as good as being broke.”
Sure, Rhett’s entertainment empire was the talk of the town, but it wasn’t in the same league as the FitzGerald Group.
Once Rhett was ousted from the FitzGerald Group, and disowned by the FitzGerald family.* it meant falling from the lofty heights
of CEO to a penniless entrepreneur.
For the FitzGerald Group, squashing SilverScreen Entertainment would be a walk in the park.
And once Hob made his final move, settling scores with Rhett, he’d surely be wary of his son climbing back to the top.
Hob knew Rhett’s capabilities all too well; he’d definitely target Rhett’s personal ventures, ensuring he couldn’t make a
comeback.
Kristin clenched her fists. “He’s Rhett. The FitzGerald Group is nothing without him. It’s all because of Rhett that they are where
they are today. Without him, what are they?”
She had faith in Rhett, yet the thought of him facing these trials terrified her.
As the legitimate son, the heir apparent in Mr. FitzGerald’s will, all this should rightfully belong to Rhett. But if Hob was set
on dirty tricks, he could snatch it all away.
At least... until Hob’sst breath, Rhett would remain under his thumb.
Kristin drew a deep breath, her grip tightening.
She needed to clear the path for Rhett, and soon. For now, Hob was merely warning
him.
So he called it ‘suspension’ and ‘rest.’
If Rhett couldn’t y nice, the next step for Hob would be to strip him of his shares, to take everything that belonged to
Rhett.
“You''re pretty confident about Rhett, pity... he’s all alone now. I’m just waiting to see him fall,” Hanson leaned back in his chair,
his tone detached.
“What are you nning?” Kristin asked, her breath tight.
These rich folks always seemed to look down on everyone from their ivory towers, as if money, power, and status gave them the
right to trample over others’ dignity.
10:51
Right, what was dignity worth in the face of money?
“For now, Rhett hasn’t hit rock bottom, so threatening you is pointless, Hanson tapped on the table. “Since Liam likes you so
much, | hope you''d think about looking after him for a bit. Once the wedding’s over, I''ll be putting down roots in Silvergrove City. |
reckon you''de over and help out with Liam,”
“That’s out of the question. I’m Mr. FitzGerald’s personal assistant, and | have my own son to think about,” Kristin refused tly.
“Do you really think Rhett will return to thepany?” Hanson smiled. “You''re naive about the unwritten rules of the business
world. Did you see the news the Haywood family
leaked to the media today?”
Kristin nervously pulled out her phone. She hadn''t checked the news all day.
The trending topics were aze with photos of Hob meeting Adrienne’s parents, with headlines about the impending union
of their families,
Clearly, Hob intended to force Rhett into submission, to marry Hertha.
If Rhett refused to marry Hertha... Well, the consequences were obvious...
With a panicked breath, Kristin felt suffocated on Rhett’s behalf.
This ‘vacation’ might just be theirst hurrah.
Afterward, either Rhett would cave, ending this brief and absurd marriage to marry Hertha, or he’d fight to the bitter end,
breaking with Hob and the FitzGerald Group to carve his own path.
But if he chose thetter, it meant facing unprecedented challenges and storms—possibly even jeopardizing his own business
ventures.
After another deep breath, Kristin slowly put down her phone, bowed her head, and spoke, “What exactly are you suggesting,
Mr. Lewis?”
“Considering Rhett’s predicament, I’m giving you time to think it over. Liam’s fondness for you is your good fortune. Come work
for me, and I''ll match whatever Rhett can offer you,” Hanson slid his business card across to Kristin.
“Compared to the Haywood family, | believe the Lewis family would be a far more appealing choice for Hob. After all, we
businessmen prioritize profits, and the Lewis family can offer Hob higher stakes and value,” Hanson said. He could help
Rhett, but only if Rhett chose not to marry Hertha and instead chose Ms. Lewis.
“Do you want Rhett to marry your sister Patty?” Kristin looked straight at Hanson.
Hanson, going to great lengths for a sister with no blood rtion, was truly breaking his back over it.
Khett has a choice, alther he marries the true herage of the Lewis family, or he marries Patty I''ve been more than generous
Hanson sald, feigning magnanimity
It seemed like two options, but everyone knew the real Lewis heiress was long gone. Is the real heiress of the Lewis n...
wasn’t she missing?” Kristin whispered. “For a year’s term, if my sister is found and she’s not married with kids, Rhett will marry
her, and our Lewis family will unite with the FitzGerald Group through marriage. If Hob wants a piece of Rhett’s shares,
they''ll have to think twice, Hanson spoke again.
“If my real sister is found within a year and she’s already married, or if we can’t find her after a year, Rhett will have to marry
Patty,”
In truth, Hanson wanted Rhett to marry Patty all along. His sister was just a pretext.
“You''re such a loving brother,” Kristin said with a sarcasticugh,

“I''ll give you time to think it over.” Hanson carefully took Liam from her arms, waiting for Kristin toe to him.
It wouldn’t be long now. Whether Rhett caved in and agreed to marry Hertha, or fought Hob to the bitter end, Kristin would
come to him.
Because Hertha wouldn''t tolerate Kristin.
And Rhett, if he lost everything, wouldn’t be able to protect Kristin.
Kristin needed a new rock to lean on, and the Lewis family was definitely a better bet than
James.

As he read on, Hanson''s expression darkened ominously.
Despite his dislike for Kristin, he felt a sense of regret and pity.
