"Dad, Uncle He, "
Kerr greeted the older men in a casual manner, neither domineering nor servile. Like a blank canvas, his face held no expression.
Striding in with power, a confident voice flowed to the room."Now that Kerr and Sunny have arrived, we can finally have dinner together."
Freya Qin wore a dark purple dress, which made her look exceptionally elegant and gorgeous. Although she was not young, she looked well preserved, noble and beautiful.
She married into the Gu family many years ago. Even though not everything went well in her marriage, she had a son as excellent as Kerr, which helped her gain a foothold in the family.
"Mom."
Kerr turned around and walked into the dining room.
"Hello, Uncle, Auntie!"
It was not until then that Sunny made her presence known. She looked at Jack and Freya Qin with a charming expression on her face.
"Have you been busy since you came back from abroad? Sunny, dear, you didn't even come to see me."
With admiration in her eyes, Freya Qin walked up to Sunny and took her hands intimately.
"Well, even I have only seen her a few times since she came back. I have no idea what she is up to all the time."
Standing by Jack's side, Daniel pretended to blame his daughter, but in fact, he was looking towards Kerr expectantly.
He had always hoped that Sunny could marry into the Gu family. Although the He family was not as powerful as the Gu family, in the whole A City, apart from the He family, no one could be more matched with Kerr than Sunny.
"Dad, I'm sorry for not coming to see you more. I didn't mean to, it's just that I want to be able to do anything to help Kerr. I'm working as his assistant now and I was hoping I could do him a favor."
With shyness, Sunny stole a glance at Kerr.
"Really? That's fantastic news! I was hoping that you could spend more time with Kerr. Now that you are working together, it will be more convenient for you two."
In fact, Freya Qin had already known that Sunny had gotten a job in the Gu Group. She already thought of Sunny as her daughter-in-law, so she was ecstatic to would tell all of them directly.
Although the cooperation between the Gu Group and the He Group would bring great benefits to the Gu Group, he did not think that the Gu Group would be affected in any way without the He Group's business.
"Shut your mouth! Follow me to the study. We will discuss this in private."
Jack set his chopsticks on the table forcefully, stood up and turned to walk towards the study.
Kerr stood up and looked at his father's back.
"Father, I have thought it over clearly. I have said what I wanted to say. I still have important business to attend to, I'll be leaving now."
Hearing Kerr's response, anger was clearly visible on the elder Gu's face.
"How dare you speak to me this way! Stop!"
"Don't think that I don't know what you're doing. That woman from seven years ago is dead. You'd better give up."
Jack never stopped Kerr, but that didn't mean he knew nothing about it.
He had received the news that Kerr used his family's power to find a woman, but he didn't care about that information at all, so he chose to turn a blind eye on it.
But recently, he heard that Kerr had been putting more effort into searching for this mystery woman. It seemed that he would never stop looking for her. So he had to doubt that Kerr's insolence was related to this matter.
Kerr stopped and turned around to look at his father, astonished with what he heard.
