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.”
