Chapter 136 Kerr's Favorite Girl
"Really? Kerr always knows what he is doing. He's a very sensible man."
Freya had no doubt that the woman Sunny was referring to was Nicole. But she found it hard to believe that Kerr would allow anyone to deceive him.
Since he was a child, he had shown signs to be cleverer than any other kid around him. In fact, it was precisely due to his acute mind that he had been chosen to be the heir of the Gu Group from an early age.
"Of course Kerr is a sensible man. He has always handled the Gu Group's affairs with much seriousness. But this time is different. Auntie Freya, look at what I've got."
Taking out the file from her handbag, Sunny handed a stack of papers along with several photographs to Freya.
"It never occurred to me that Director Ning would betray the company's interests, but much before the bidding, she has been keeping in touch with the Fang Group's CEO.
Besides, she seemed especially strange on the day of the bidding. I think that she didn't want the Gu Group to get the project because of her relationship with Baron Fang. After all, they had been classmates and have known each other for seven years. Some people even say that he's the father of her child.
But I've learned that Baron's mother didn't accept Nicole or Jay in the family. I just didn't expect that the kid would look like Kerr." NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Freya picked up the photo from the table and studied the child's face for a moment.
She had suspected long before that this child might be Kerr's. The resemblance between the two was frightening.
"He somewhat looks like Kerr. Maybe..."
Before Freya could finish, Sunny interrupted her.
"I've considered this same thought since I always knew Kerr had many girlfriends in the past. But I've found someone to get their DNA tested. Here are the results.
As you can see, this kid has nothing to do with Kerr."
Sunny stared at Freya's impassive face and felt uneasy. Freya didn't seem to mind that Kerr was involved with a single mother as it was expected.
Actually, with the paternity test in hand, Freya felt nothing but the bitter taste of disappointment.
She had been looking forward to getting the news, but they couldn't fulfill her expectations in the end.
"It's a pity. What do you think?"
After resting the photos and the papers back on the table, Freya raised her head to meet Sunny's gaze. The young woman's expression wouldn't give her true feelings away.
Nevertheless, Freya was no stranger to Sunny's methods at all. Being born into a family such as hers, a woman was required to be clever in order to survive. The Gu family wasn't immune to that sort of system either. Freya herself had to calculate her every step with precision to get where she was nowadays.
"I just don't want Kerr to be deceived. I have investigated Nicole's past and she has a messy private life. Such a woman doesn't deserve to be with Kerr."
Sunny looked at Freya with concern.
Although their families talked about arranging her marriage with Kerr, they never had been properly engaged, nor did Kerr announce their relationship to the public.
Therefore, it wasn't convenient for her to say what the Gu family should do. It was for the best to approach Freya and let her handle everything herself.
"Kerr can decide for himself what's best for him. I understand you've had feelings for my son since you were a child, but you should know how he is. I'll just pretend that I've never heard of what we talked here.
I advise you to do the same. There's no need for Kerr to find any of this out. Now I have another matter to attend to, so I won't keep you here any longer. Feel free to show yourself out."
Freya stood up and, sparing one last glance at Sunny, turned upstairs.
Now she wanted to meet with Nicole. Despite having seen Sunny grow up, it didn't mean Freya thought she was right for Kerr. In reality, she was curious about this woman who had fallen into Kerr's good graces.
As soon as she noticed Freya leaving, Cherry approached Sunny and said,
"Miss He, please."
Freya's attitude had enraged Sunny to the point that she wanted to break something, but there was no way she could vent her fury at that moment. So she put on a fake smile and walked out of the villa as she'd been instructed.
Only when she got inside her car, she allowed her hands to pat forcefully against the leather seat.
"I'm really pissed me off. I didn't expect that Freya would be an obstacle in my way. I took a chance on the wrong person."
Sunny couldn't control her anger anymore.
"Don't be mad. If Freya Qin wasn't reasonable, we can still take this to Jack Gu. He has always been supportive of your marriage with Kerr,"
Edgar comforted as he drove away from the villa.
"You're right. We can still count on Jack. I don't believe that he would allow a penniless woman to marry into his family."
Sunny's rage started to fade as hope rekindled in her heart.
In the Gu family's old house, Freya watched Sunny's car leave before calling Cherry in.
"I'm going to see Nicole Ning now. Do not inform anyone. I want this to stay between you and me."
Freya didn't want to get to know Nicole by word of mouth. However, if she wanted to understand who the real Nicole was, she needed to get her off guard.
"Yes, ma'am." Cherry nodded.
Afterward, both women got into the black Rolls Royce as Cherry drove them to the hospital belonging to the Gu Group.
"My Lady, it seems that Miss Ning is in the hospital right now. Shall I bring her here?"
Cherry turned her head to look at Freya.
"She's just come out."
Freya watched Nicole as she walked out of the hospital with a little boy beside her.
Compared to the pictures, Jay resembled Kerr even more in person. Taking in the little kid's figure, a mix of determination and guilt crossed Freya's bright eyes.
"Invite them here."
Following her command, Cherry opened the door and got out of the car.
"Miss Ning, please wait,"
Cherry called out, hurrying to reach Nicole.
When Nicole turned, she saw Cherry coming towards her. She looked up and down at the mature woman in front of her with curiosity. She didn't believe they had met before.
"What can I do for you?"
Mechanically, Nicole held Jay's hand, pulling him behind her body protectively.
Since what happened last time, Nicole was wary of anyone who would suddenly approach them.
