Chapter 112

Kyler was so furious that he could barely speak. He sat there, pointing his finger at Abigail before bursting out, “You….When you set them up for a blind date, I informed Ms. Lawrence about it. But she remained silent and composed. It must be you who angered her! Why are you so short–sighted? How can we continue being part of the Hoffman family without the contract?”

After Kyler pointed it out, Abigail seemed to pick up on something.

“What should we do, then?” she asked.

In a panic, she cast a worried glance at Kyler.

“Andrea is our daughter. If she can’t marry Anthony, we’ll become a laughingstock!” Abigail exclaimed.

“I’ve mentioned it before. It was just a blind date. Why did you feel the need to share the news? Who told you to be so impatient?” Kyler scolded.

Feeling rather aggrieved, Abigail retorted, “Mrs. Hoffman mentioned that Andrea is the most suitable person…”

Kyler’s face flushed crimson.

It became increasingly unpleasant to behold.

Summoning his courage, Kyler made his way to Eagle Entertainment with a gift in hand.

Genevieve had just finished a meeting and was casually sipping on her coffee.

Kyler greeted her with a polite smile, saying, “Ms. Lawrence.”

Genevieve smiled in return and said, “Mr. Thomson, long time no see. How are you holding up?”

“Not bad. Just getting old, you know, with all the health issues that come along,” Kyler replied..

Kyler followed Genevieve into the office.

Kyler knew Sullivan trusted Genevieve with both important and minor tasks.

Instead of talking to Sullivan first, Kyler thought it was smarter to talk to Genevieve. Upsetting her could make working together in the future much harder.

He pulled a gift box from his bag. Its size and shape suggested it might hold jewelry.

“Last time, my wife and daughter unknowingly caused you trouble. Please think of this as compensation, Ms. Lawrence, and kindly accept it,” Kyler said.

It was only at that moment that Genevieve realized Kyler was already informed about the situation.
