Kerr was skeptical with what he was hearing from the woman in front of him. Looking at the man's scrutinizing eyes, Sunny felt a little guilty, but she tried to keep calm.
Crossing his arms in question, he decided to dig a little deeper into her intentions."So what are you trying to say here? That you could tolerate seeing Nicole by my side? Don't try to play games with me, Sunny. You know who I am, and you're well aware as to where I draw the line."
He glanced at her and then fixed his eyes on the computer screen.
He knew the idea might work. After all, he had indeed used her to get a reaction out of Nicole before, and it worked. It was also the reason why he kept Sunny by his side until now.
But he didn't want to hurt Nicole because he was trying to make her jealous by being seen with Sunny.
A hint of sadness flashed through the Sunny's eyes.
Of course she was jealous of Nicole. She loved Kerr so much that she wouldn't be willing to let him go, not without a fight. But in order to stay with Kerr for the rest of her life, she had to compromise.
"Kerr, my feelings for you run deeper than any way I could ever express them. If it's possible, I would like to be your woman, because I know you far better than Nicole does and I know what kind of woman you need by your side. But you like her, so I'll help you get her.
Unless, you are worried that you'll end up falling in love with me."
She knew how proud Kerr was, well enough to be able to poke and prod at his weak spots. Provoking him on purpose would play well in her favor.
"Are you going for a wager? Sunny, aren't you afraid that your effort will all end up in vain?"
Kerr was a little surprised at what Sunny had said today. In the past, he had thought that her actions were those of a silly little girl, so he had never taken it seriously.
But now, he realized that he had to think twice when it involved her.
"I'm not afraid of anything. I'm willing to do anything for you."
She looked at him, eyes full of deep affection and longing.
"You are smart. You should know why I've kept you in the Gu Group. So Sunny, please don't place all your energy and attention on me. No one can control how I
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.
omoted step by step. He did not need anyone's help.
Since the beginning, everything he had was the result of his own hard work. If he wasn't even qualified to choose any woman he pleased to stay by his side, then what he had gained was meaningless. He was no one's puppet and he refused to be one as long as he was alive.
Looking at Kerr's cold expression, Sunny went silent.
She knew it was meaningless to argue with him. Now she could only pin her hope on the Gu family and the He family elders.
The car drove into the Gu family's old house. After stopping, Kerr directly got out of the car, completely ignoring Sunny behind him.
In the hall of Gu's old house
Daniel He was playing chess with Jack Gu.
"You are better at the game than I am, Jack. I'm willing to accept defeat."
Daniel He laughed heartily and with a light smile, Jack Gu put the piece back in the chess box.
"It's just a game. You don't have to take it seriously. But life is like a chess game. One should always consider the overall situation with every step. Every move leads to another consequential move. Don't you agree, Kerr?"
Jack Gu noticed the change when Kerr walked into the house. He turned around and looked at his son with a glint in his eyes.
As the best and most suitable candidate to be the heir of the Gu family, he had invested all his efforts in Kerr. He would never allow Kerr to make a mistake.
Luckily, Kerr had never let him down in all these years.
