Chapter 209 Kyle, the Saboteur

Katherine can surly hear the sarcasm in Mrs. Grant’s tone.

She then said to her, “Well, next time maybe. I heard that he doesn’t have a good reputation, so you
may not like him when you meet him.”

Clara hurriedly explained, “Well, Miss Jordan’s friend should be busy, so...”

“Well, don’t worry about it.” Mrs. Grant directly interrupted, “I haven’t met Katherine’s so-called friends
before. Now that we bump into them, let’s meet up.”

Marshall stayed silent all the way and looked like that he had no intention of stopping Mrs. Grant.

Katherine knew that he was giving her an opportunity to justify herself.

Then she nodded, “Okay then, let me give them a call.”

Kyle happened to have saved his number on Katherine’s phone.

So Katherine just called him right away.

Kyle’s voice sounded surprised, “Katherine? Why are you calling me? We’re just steps away, right? You
must be missing me.” Though the phone was not on speaker, the room was deadening quiet and Kyle’s
voice was pretty loud, so all the people heard what Kyle said loud and clear.

Khalid slowly frowned and thought that Kyle’s words had crossed some boundaries.

He didn’t seem like a normal friend.

Mrs. Grant was just sneering.



Katherine replied, “We’re in room 606, not far from ours. Could you come over? They all want to meet
you.”

“Really? They want to meet me? Sure, I’m on my way.” Then they heard a span of noise and the room
door was opened in a second.

Then the voice on the phone and in the hallway just overlapped, “Katherine, I’m here.”

Katherine hung up the phone and opened the room door.

She glanced at Clara cockily when she opened the door.

Kyle immediately chuckled upon seeing Katherine, “Your father and mother-in-law, right, Marshall’s
parents. We’ve met before.”

He then directly entered the door and greeted everyone, “Hi, everybody.”

He seemed a natural socialist and said to Khalid, “Hi, uncle Grant. Me and Katherine are tight buddies.”

Khalid froze and the Mrs. Grant next to him directly stood up, “Kyle? What are you doing here?”

Kyle knew what Khalid and Mrs. Grant were like perfectly well. They were all assholes.

The Old Mr. Haverford had four daughters and finally got a son in his later years, so he doted on him a
lot.

But the boy was born a free spirit and opened a club now which was said to house all kinds pf
marginalized things and had been reported on several times.

He would have been long grinded down if it weren’t for Haverford’s strong background.

Khalid had prevented from Marshall meeting too much with Kyle before.



But Haverfords was definitely a reliable partner.

All the daughters in Haverford had married well, so though the only heir was somewhat subpar, the four
sisters had managed the company well.

So though many people didn’t like Kyle, they dared not to mess with him.

Kyle was hot-tempered and was unstrained by anything. He even would fight with his own father.

Mrs. Grant looked at Kyle, “How did you become friends with Katherine? Did you guys meet through
Marshall?”

Katherine remained quiet and was wearing light smiles.

Kyle immediately widened his eyes, “Definitely not the truth, auntie Grant. Our friendship got nothing to
do with Marshall. Our friendship is way stronger than me and Marshall’s. Don’t you know what Marshall
is like...”

Then he continued, “He is too composed. We don’t really click, you know. We don’t also have mutual
interests, but Katherine...”

Then he turned to Katherine, “But me and Kathrine’s personality are really compatible.”

Katherine cracked a smile, “That’s enough. Aren’t you aware what a reputation you’ve got?”

Kyle giggled and didn’t really care who was around, “I really like you when you loathe me, you know?”

The faces of Mrs. Grant, Khalid and all the Hendersons darkened.

But Marshall didn’t seem to mind this.

Then he spoke, “We had finished our lovely meals, right? How about we call it a day?”



These people had certainly lost their appetite.

Kyle and Katherine’s drama had ruined the dinner.

Mrs. Henderson then stood up, “Yeah, right. We’ve had enough.”

Kyle was really bad at reading the room, “What? You are done here? Marshall and Katherine, let’s go.
Let’s go back to my room and continue. Katherine, you must finish all those sea foods today, otherwise,
you are just a sea food murderer.”

Katherine glared, “Shut up!”

Kyle acted bewildered, “What happened? What’s wrong with my words?”

Mr. Henderson also stood up, seeming like he can’t bring himself to listen anymore, “Let’s go. It’s
getting late.”

The Hendersons first went to the door with Clara and bid farewell to Khalid and Mrs. Grant.

Then they just left.

Clara stared at Marshall’s back with expectation when she left, but Marshall didn’t ever look back.

She was literally grinding her teeth.

They had a great time at the Grants mansion this afternoon, but they were again back to square one
after this night.

Khalid stood still while Mrs. Grant gazed at Katherine.



She had really underestimated this woman before. How on earth did she land on this Henderson boy
that was like a bomb which can hurt and protect people at the same time.

Judging from their conversations, Kyle really liked Katherine.

It looked like that Katherine had got herself another rock.

Mrs. Grant was livid with anger.

She thought there was just a dead end in front of Katherine and didn’t expect that she would find
herself a new road.

After all the Hendersons left, Marshall hugged Katherine’s shoulders and said to his parents, “We are
going to hang around for a while in Kyle’s room. You’d better go home first. Dad had too much drink
today and should go to bed early.”

Face still darkened, Mrs. Grant said, “It’s late now. Don’t stay for too lone.”

Marshall nodded.

Khalid took a sigh and left with Mrs. Grant.

While they were still in the hallway, Katherine vaguely heard Khalid’s voice, “You just have to ask for
troubles. You shouldn’t have done that.”

Mrs. Grant then muttered something which Katherine can’t hear.

Standing by the door, Kyle acted like that he wasn’t the one who ruined the dinner.

He was all calm, “Hey, they’ve all left. Let’s go back to my room.”

Eyes met, Marshall and Katherine followed Kyle.



Hector and Margaret were still on their phones. Seeing them, Hector immediately stood up, “Are we
leaving?”

“No, no, no.” Kyle waved his hand, “They all left in that room. Let’s continue.”

Hector paused, “This early?”

Katherine chuckled, “Right, there is a dinner that Mr. Haverford can’t ruin.”

Hector and Margaret were still on their phones. Seeing them, Hector immediately stood up, “Are we
leaving?”

“No, no, no.” Kyle waved his hand, “They all left in that room. Let’s continue.”
Hector paused, “This early?”

Katherine chuckled, “Right, there is a dinner that Mr. Haverford can’t ruin.”
