Tyler put down his glass and got up from the couch. " There's something I might need your help with."
"What is it?" I asked curiously.
What could he need my help with?
Tyler smiled slightly. "I want to acquire a company called Magnificent Entertainment, but Theo is interested in acquiring it as well. I want you to help m e by convincing him to give it up. I'll save a lot of money that way, and most importantly, the company will belong to you."
I frowned, not understanding what he meant. "It will belong to me?"
Tyler bent down and leaned closer toward me. "A gift for you."
"I don’t..." I instinctively tried to refuse, but Tyler put his index finger on my lips and said, "No refusing. Do you still want to get your revenge?”
Tyler did not give me a chance to speak as he continued saying, "You would have found out about this sooner or later, anyway. Carlson and Yvonne Schumann are my aunt and uncle. Why do you think they’ve always been so interested in adopting you as their goddaughter? It's because I've mentioned you to
them.” "What?” I was shocked.
Carlson and Yvonne were his uncle and aunt?
"You'll receive a lot of attention from different business sectors when your name is added to the family tree. There will be a lot of nasty comments waiting for you if you don’t have some assets to your name. If you acquire Magnificent Entertainment on behalf of Magnificent Pictures, I'm sure I don't need to elaborate on how their perception of your abilities will change.” Tyler stroked my face. "Listen to me. I've already arranged everything for you, and all you need t o do is accept it."
"You...” I did not know what to say in response.
How much had he done for me while I was not paying attention?
Tyler straightened back up and raised an eyebrow as h e asked, "Feeling touched?"
"A little bit,” I replied honestly.
"Then, do I get any reward?" Tyler was beginning to go overboard.
I frowned slightly. "What reward do you want?”
Worried that he would make unreasonable demands, I hurriedly added on, "I’m telling you ahead of time that I won't give you anything that's too unreasonable." "You think of one," Tyler said as he narrowed his eyes slightly. "I want something that you've put thought into."
