The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 145 My Woman Is None Of Your Business

In order to avoid any future trouble, Nicole wanted to clear everything out immediately so nothing would stand in her way of having a peaceful life later on.

"You!"

Sunny had in fact brought something with her. But after Nicole's suggestion, it seemed that she had deliberately arranged the situation. Although her blood was boiling, Sunny managed to get her anger under control and hesitated as if she was unsure about going ahead.

However, when she turned around, Sunny met Fiona with a wicked smile.

"Miss He, this is her own request. You don't have to go easy on her. You can just show it to everyone. I grew up with Nicole, so I know what she's like. And she won't give up until she sees this evidence."

Fiona had understood the meaning behind Sunny's eyes as soon as she saw her hesitation, and decided to help her.

"Are you sure? After all, Miss Ning is also a woman. This might be embarrassing. Isn't it better if we don't show these?"

Despite her words, Sunny had already taken the photos out of her bag.

"Miss He, now that you've already brought these with you, why don't you just show it to us? I'm sure everyone here is dying to see what you have,"

Nicole said evenly. She wasn't afraid of anything that she didn't feel guilty about.

Fiona's nostrils flared once she noticed Nicole's smugness. After all, the Ning family's eldest daughter had always been very fortunate since she was a child.

Whenever they were together, Nicole would be over the moon about something she got easily handed to her. But Fiona, no matter how much effort she would put into it, would never get anything similar to what her friend got. Therefore, she had wished for a long time to see the Ning family going bankrupt.

This way, she thought Nicole would finally be on the same level as hers. But then Nicole went to Manhattan and years later came back, grabbing the attention of Kerr Gu, who Fiona could see how much did care for Nicole.

But why? The more she thought about it, the more furious she became. Fiona finally took the photos from Sunny's hand and threw them forcefully against Nicole.

"Watch out!"

Kerr might've been quiet so far, but he was paying attention to every detail going on around them. So, before Fiona could complete her move, Kerr had already embraced Nicole protectively. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

The edge of one of the photos had scratched the back of Kerr's hand, leaving a trail of blood scattered on the floor. But thankfully, Nicole was unharmed.

Nicole looked up at Kerr's gentle face, warm-heartedly.

As long as Kerr still trusted her, she didn't mind what others were saying about her.

"Does it hurt?"

She held Kerr's hand, feeling sorry for him.

"It's okay. But you should stay in my arms. This is where you belong. What if you get out and a dog bites you then?"

Bossy yet gentle, Kerr pulled Nicole tighter into his arms.

He knew that the people in that room were trying everything in their power to separate him from Nicole, but once he set his mind on being with her, how could he give it up so easily?

"Kerr..."

Sunny felt her heart break once she heard Kerr's words. With her eyes turning red, she stared at him pitifully.

"The photos clearly show that Nicole had been in touch with Baron Fang multiple times before the bidding. And by the time it started, she even pretended to have lost the data flash drive. Can't you see that she did this to create a chance for him?

Kerr, you can't be so blinded by this woman that now you can't tell right from wrong anymore,"

Sunny stressed out, a bit emotionally charged.

It never occurred to her that Kerr wouldn't spare a single glance at any of the pictures spread on the ground but instead, firmly stand by Nicole with no regard for Sunny's efforts.

"Nicole is my woman. What I decide to do is my own business. And I won't allow anyone to stand in my way."

Adamantly, Kerr announced to everyone where he stood.

"How dare you!"

Flapping a hand on the sofa's armrest, Jack stood up with his eyes full of rage.

As an heir of the Gu Group, Kerr had been raised to be a good leader, whose emotions could never get the best of him. However, due to this love affair, Kerr seemed to have lost sight of what was right and wrong.

If that was indeed the case, Jack would have to consider taking Kerr's power away from him.

"Is it so troublesome if my woman wants to rebuild the Ning Group? She just needs to say it and I'll do anything I can to help her without hesitation."

Kerr couldn't care less about his father's words or what the others thought. As long as Nicole kept being herself, he would be happy.

For him, she was one of a kind.

"Dad, cool!"

Jay, who had been in silence in Kerr's arms up until now, gave Kerr a proud thumbs up for his speech.

"What did you just call me?"

Kerr's body stiffened all of a sudden with the rare feeling of nervousness washing over him. He then slowly turned to meet Jay's eyes, full of expectation.

"Dad!"

With a big smile, Jay's clear and loud voice echoed through everyone's ears. Wrapping his arms around Kerr's neck, Jay gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Jay's happy face eased Nicole's heart for the first time in a while. She might've made the right choice of accepting to be with Kerr, after all. And maybe it was alright for Jay to recognize Kerr as his father now.

At that moment, Nicole stood on her toes and gently kissed Jay's cheek.

"Don't talk nonsense, child. Your father is that other man over there, not Kerr,"

Freya reminded Jay with a frown and watched the three happy people in front of her.

"Kerr, a child might not know what he says, but only a fool will listen to him. Anyway, you can't change the blood relationship between the kid and Mr. Tang. The best choice is to give him back to his biological father now."

Jack pointed a finger to Kerr in a firm tone.

"The Gu family had never raised the son of another family. So today, I'll give you two options. First, you let go of this child right now. You'll stay as the Gu Group's CEO and the successor of our family in the future. I can also forgive Nicole Ning for betraying the Gu Group.

Second, if you keep with this nonsense, from this day on, you'll have nothing to do with the Gu Group and will lose all the privileges this family grants you."

Jack gave Kerr an ultimatum. He was fed up with his son's attitude.

Moore's eyes glinted in delight after he heard his father's words. Standing beside Jack, he said,

"Father, don't be so mad at Kerr. My brother is confused. Please give him some time to think it through. I'm sure he'll understand what he should do."

Anxiously, Moore turned to look at Kerr.
