The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 189 What Happened



Chapter 189 What Happened

Sunny knew how the Ning Group's bankruptcy had always been a sensitive matter for Nicole. Now Sunny was using this painful subject to annoy her.

She had falsified all the evidence. She didn't believe that Nicole would still be indifferent in front of this knowledge.

There was no way she could still be with Kerr after receiving those documents.

The moment Nicole heard Sunny's words, she felt a shiver down her spine but didn't show her discomfort. She also didn't turn around to look at Sunny. Instead, she just stopped in her track and said lightly, "Miss He, don't worry about me. This is none of your business."

Then, she simply walked away.

In the car, Nicole was still thinking about what Sunny had said to her. Kerr had promised that he would explain everything to her, but now he was in a coma and she had no idea when he would wake up.

Although Nicole didn't want to doubt Kerr, she couldn't help feeling sad every time someone brought up what happened all those years ago. She never wished anyone harm, but people were constantly giving her a hard time.

Jared noticed through the rearview mirror that Nicole was in a daze and couldn't help but worry. If Sunny's words really got under Nicole's skin, this could awaken a crisis in the Gu Group.

After all, the Gu Group's fate was almost entirely in Nicole's hands.

"Miss Ning, you should trust Master Kerr," Jared reminded her.

The sound of Jared's voice brought Nicole back to her senses. Looking at him through the rearview mirror, she noticed the concern in his eyes. She then smiled at him.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

"You don't have to worry about it. I won't believe anything I hear before Kerr wakes up. This is between him and me. I'll only listen to what he has to say about it."

Regardless of Kerr having anything to do with this or not, he had already proved through his efforts that he would give anything to her as long as she wanted it.

Moreover, Nicole suspected anything that came out of Sunny's mouth. Not to mention that the relationship between Auntie Sandra and Daniel had always seemed strange to her.

"Jared, help me investigate a person."

She knew this was an easy task for him.

Jared looked at Nicole and nodded. "Miss Ning, please go ahead."

Turning her gaze to the window, she uttered, "Daniel He!" Nicole didn't know why, but she felt he had something to do with it.

"I see. I'll bring you what I get about him as soon as possible." Jared promised Nicole readily. As long as she helped Kerr to run the Gu Group, he would treat her as the future Mrs. Gu of the Gu family.

As far as he was aware, Kerr had chosen well. It turned out that when the Gu Group was in need, Nicole immediately stepped in to support Kerr.

At that moment, Nicole leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes to rest for a while. She didn't even notice the car which raced past them.

Jared, however, was forced to step on the brake and park when he saw the silver Rolls Royce cutting in front of them.

As a result, Nicole's body immediately shifted forward, making her eyes pop out of her head. She looked ahead and wondered what had happened for Jared to stop the car so abruptly.

Once she saw the familiar vehicle in front of theirs, she quickly understood it.

Opening the door, Nicole calmly got out of the car. Baron got out of his Rolls Royce soon after he saw her coming. "Nicole."

She smiled faintly at him but was confused to see him so sad. In fact, she had never seen him like this before.

"Baron, what's going on?" Nicole knew something was wrong. Otherwise, Baron wouldn't have shown up with that look on his face.

As Baron stepped closer to Nicole, Jared got out of the car and hurried to stand beside her. He then looked warily at Baron.

Sensing the hostility coming from Jared, Baron raised his head and frowned at him. Although Baron was a handsome young man, he looked quite disheartened at the moment.

Nicole, on the other hand, picked up on the tension between the two men and turned to Kerr's assistant. "Jared, you can go home first. I have something to talk to Baron. He will drive me home later."

She knew that the only reason behind Baron's sudden appearance was because he had something to tell her. Although she was worried about Kerr, Baron was still her friend—one who had been on her side during her time of need.

Jared was still staring at Baron as he listened to Nicole. He didn't like the idea of leaving her with him. He knew that if Kerr was there, he wouldn't allow Nicole to be alone with Baron.

After all, it was obvious that he had feelings for Nicole.

"Miss Ning, you need to rest. If you're not doing it for yourself, you should do it for the baby in your belly." Jared deliberately revealed Nicole's pregnancy to Baron.

He hoped that if Baron knew it, he would give up on her.

Nicole frowned, realizing what he meant. "I know. But you can leave now." The next moment, she began walking towards Baron's car.

Baron glanced at Jared one more time. Then he turned around and drove away with Nicole.

Jared stood there for a moment. He wanted to follow Nicole, but he was afraid it would annoy her. With no other way out, he chose to trust her and drove back by himself to Kerr's villa.

However, what no one seemed to notice was the black car parked in the dark, observing everything in secret before it followed the silver Rolls Royce.

Sitting beside Baron, Nicole looked at his handsome face and missed his usual smile. Instead, she found dissatisfaction, sadness, and unwillingness in its place.

"What's wrong with you? What happened?" She had never seen him like that before.

With his hands on the steering wheel and eyes on the road, Baron didn't answer her question but prompted her with another, "Are you pregnant?" Baron wondered if Jared hadn't mentioned it, would he have known about it.

The first time Nicole got pregnant was extremely difficult for her, but he had been the only one by her side and also her most trusted friend.

Now he had to learn about her pregnancy from others.

"Yes, but I've been very busy recently. Also, I've just returned from the trip and haven't had the time to tell you about it yet."
