"My father seemed to have mentioned it a long time ago. Why did you bring it up all of a sudden?"
There was a puzzled look on Sunny's face. She didn't know why this man would discuss with her a past deal made by the He Group. Her father was the one in charge of the He Group's financial matters so she had limited knowledge about the family business.
"Seven years ago, the Ning Group's company was purchased by the He Group. Coincidentally, Nicole Ning was the eldest daughter of the Ning clan."
Sunny's eyes widened in surprise as her mind tried to connect the dots. No one could escape red thread of fate no matter how hard one tried. Fate was indeed a powerful force, she thought to herself.
"You mean, the He Group was the cause of Nicole's loss?"
This turn of events took her by surprise. Seven years ago, she vaguely remembered that her father indeed told her about it. But she was not interested in business matters at all.
Interestingly, her father told her that Kerr had helped the He Group to secure the business deal. His involvement was the only reason why she remembered that incident.
When she thought of Kerr, a realization suddenly dawned on her. Unseen by the man she was talking to over the phone, a cunning smile stretched the corners of her mouth.
To Sunny's perspective, it seemed that the goddess of fate was helping her.
"I know what to do, " she replied a bit enthusiastically.
Hearing her excited voice, the man sighed.
"The He Group already took everything away from Nicole. Are you going to make her suffer even more?"
He told Sunny about the He Group's involvement with the Ning Group in order to win her pity. He was hoping that Sunny would feel guilty and spare Nicole.
But apparently, she didn't think so. He didn't expect that his plan would backfire.
"Nicole is so unlucky. Wait, you seemed to be too concerned about her. Are you in love with her? Don't forget who you are!"
With a smile on her face, Sunny hung up the phone. If Nicole were to know that Kerr was involved in the purchase of the Ning Group's company, she would be furious at him. She would never see Kerr again.
That was exactly what Sunny wanted. As for Nicole, she could only
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again. But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
Kerr's introduction, no one would easily disregard Nicole.
Regardless of whether she decided to leave or stay in this city in the future, she had to find out the answers to the doubts in her heart, which was another purpose for her to return to this country.
When the car was parked in the parking space reserved to the CEO of the Gu Group, Nicole didn't get off.
"You go inside first. I will come in later, " she explained to him.
She didn't want to repeat what happened last time as she didn't want to be misunderstood about her relationship with Kerr.
"Do you think you can escape from their eyes by doing this?"
He was a little upset as he saw through her at a glance. Other women were desperate to be involved with him.
Only Nicole hid from him all day long, as if he was a virus.
"No, no, No. you are thinking too much!"
With a smile on her face, she immediately explained, her hands still swaying on her chest.
"You have two choices. Walk inside with me or let me carry you inside."
As he said in a firm tone, he opened the door and got out of the car. He walked to the other side and opened the door for her directly, waiting for her to get out of it.
Looking at the firm look on Kerr's face, Nicole knew that she couldn't escape today, so she had to get out of the car. But before she could make a step, Kerr reached out to hold her up by the waist and strode towards his exclusive elevator.
"Hey, put me down. I'll walk in by myself."
