Submitting To My Billionaire Ex-Wife by Allison Mild

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, | 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 beca 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 becincreasingly 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 tno see. How are you holding up?” “Not bad. Just getting old, you know, with all the health issues that calong,” 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.

1/5 09:36 Fri, 19 Apr Chapter 112 Genevieve glanced at the box but handed it back without opening it.

“Mr. Thomson, we've secured a partner for that project. I'm afraid it might be too late. Breaking the contract would result in compensation much greater than the value of any jewelry,” Genevieve explained.

1 Kyler's smile altered, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded understandingly. “I understand. A lot happened during my tin the hospital. | apologize for any inconvenience, Ms. Lawrence. I've already spoken with my wife. She can be a bit careless with her words. Consider this a small gesture. Please don’t let it bother you.” Genevieve grinned and replied, “You don’t have to be so formal. | stayed quiet earlier out of respect.

my back. | for Mrs. Thomson, but I've given M Thomson a little lesson about gossiping behind. hope you don’t mind, Mr. Thomson.” Kyler was taken aback, but he managed to crack a smile and responded, “No, | won't mind! Well, she’s been a bit too pampered by her mother’s indulgence!” Genevieve arched an eyebrow in response. She casually took a sip of her coffee and maintained an impassive gaze at the emails displayed on her computer.

Sensing a hint of awkwardness, Kyler nervously rubbed his hands together and chose to break the silence. “Ms.

Lawrence, let's put this contract aside. For the next one, could we-" Genevieve interrupted with a smile, saying, “Mr. Thomson, following Mr. Shelton’s instructions, we've sealed a five-year contract with the new partner. Unfortunately, it appears we won't be able to continue working together.” Kyler’s face turned pale. “Ms. Lawrence...” “Sorry, Mr. Thomson, Genevieve apologized with a slight smile.

While she didn’t harbor much animosity toward Kyler, she couldn't overlook Abigail and Andrea’s presumptuous actions.

Genevieve couldn't dismiss things so easily.

Moreover, Kyler had maintained high prices with Eagle Entertainment for quite stime. It was tfor a change.

Kyler hesitated briefly, then rose from his seat. “I understand, Ms. Lawrence. I'll take my leave now.” Maintaining her smile, Genevieve’nodded and rose from her seat as well. She instructed Jasper, “See Mr.

Thomson off.” She passed Kyler's gift to Jasper, who swiftly grasped the situation and responded, “Certainly.” Jasper followed Kyler to the exit and handed back the gift.

“Ms. Lawrence has a policy of not-accepting gifts from clients. Besides, she didn’t assist you with 2/5 09:36 FRI, 19 Apr Chapter 112 anything. There's no need to be too formal, Mr. Thomson. If you ever need anything in the future, feel free to drop by,” Jasper said.

Kyler responded with a forced smile.

Feeling dejected, he returned hand downed a bottle of liquor in one go.

Abigail had just returned from her card games, and she was startled at the sight of him.

Upon learning about the situation, Andrea becanxious as well.

“W-What if | go talk to Mrs. Hoffman and see if we can collaborate with the Hoffman family?” Andrea suggested.

She thought that if they teamed up with the Hoffman family, they wouldn't have to stress about finding partnerships.

The Hoffmans connection seemed way more promising than Eagle Entertainment.

Kyler rubbed his forehead and snorted.

“You might as well go apologize to Genevieve. That would be more practical,” he mumbled. Without waiting for a response, he went upstairs to rest.

Abigail and Andrea exchanged a glance.

There was no way they were going to apologize! A few days later, when Andrea visited Quincey, she casually brought up the matter.

However, Quincey seemed to brush it off entirely and showed no concern.

Despite Quincey generally having a positive opinion of Andrea, when it cto their interests, the dynamic shifted.

Quincey offered Andrea a gentle piece of advice, saying, “It's better to stay out of your family’s affairs once you're married. Once you tie the knot, you becan outsider. Do you really want to stay involved with your family forever? You're fortunate to marry into the Hoffman family. If you were to marry into an ordinary family, what say would you have in your family’s matters? Your bias toward your family is too obvious. Even though your brother just started university, the future of the Thomson family belongs to him. What does it have to do with you? People generally don’t appreciate daughters-in-law who favor their own families like you do!” Andrea’s face turned as red as a beet as she listened to Quincey’s words.

She didn’t dare to continue pleading after understanding Quincey’s implied message.

Describing the Thomson family as being on par in social status with the Hoffman family was already an exaggeration. Andrea’s background was only slightly better than Genevieve’s, and when compared to the Hoffman family, it wasn’t even worth mentioning. Before the engagement was 3/5 Chapter 112 even confirmed, Andrea had no right to seek support from the Hoffman family.

Forcing a smile. Andrea continued to accompany Quincey as they enjoyed their coffees, but her mind was elsewhere.

An auction quietly approached, and Samantha eagerly anticipated it.

She had Genevieve arrange her schedule in advance so that she could have her company during the event.

Genevieve wore a modest black gown, which was a stark contrast to Samantha, who effortlessly grabbed everyone's attention. It made Genevieve nearly inconspicuous by her side.

Samantha eyed her attire with a hint of disdain.

“My assistant is dressed more flamboyantly than you!” Samantha remarked.

Genevieve smiled and replied, “Simplicity is in vogue these days!” “Who are you trying to fool?” Samantha asked.

Samantha glared at Genevieve, then confidently entered the venue with squared shoulders.

As Samantha entered, all eyes naturally gravitated toward her.

People flocked to exchange greetings and inadvertently left Genevieve in the shadows.

Only when everyone settled into their seats did Genevieve join Samantha.

“What if | get you a pink diamond and have a designer create a piece in a style you love?” Samantha whispered.

Genevieve raised an eyebrow and then smiled, saying, “Sure!” She wouldn't turn down her mother’s generous offer.

Samantha sat at her place. She felt excited as she engrossed herself in examining the 3D models on her iPad.

The very first item on display was the pink diamond named “Spring.” The pink diamond sparkled brightly in the lights. Its dazzling brilliance was so captivating that nobody could look away.

Even though Genevieve had possessed numerous diamonds throughout her life, there was an indescribable affection that women held for shiny things.

She still felt a bit thrilled.
