Kyle’s calculated offer to win Victor’s trust

Kyle tried to win over Victor with a heartfelt toast and a charm bracelet for Nikki, but it didn’t work. Victor thought it was too much and didn’t trust his motives. Later at the GCAC bar, Kyle took a different approach and made a bold offer.

He told Victor he’d sign a contract that would make him liable to a payment of $5 million if he ever hurt Claire, calling it a “pre-prenup.” Claire soon joined them with news about Cole, but later asked Kyle what he had said. Kyle admitted he made an offer to prove himself. Victor told Nikki about the deal, and she wondered what it would really take for him to accept Claire and Kyle’s relationship.
