"I see. Drive me back to the old house. I have something to ask my father."
Sunny had planned to rely on her own power, but now it seemed that she still needed her father's help.
"Okay."
Edgar and Sunny left the hospital after that.
At the hospital, Kerr had been waiting by Nicole's bedside. Nicole was still fast asleep when Jared walked up to Kerr with a laptop. Jared approached carefully so as not to wake Nicole up.
"Mr. Gu, the bidding is almost done, but so far, the only competitor to the Gu Group is the Fang Group."
Jared briefly explained what transpired in the bidding process so far, but Kerr only nodded slightly and said nothing as if he did not care about it at all.
Before Jared could open his mouth again, Nicole stirred and gently turned her head.
"Nicole? How do you feel?"
Kerr whispered to Nicole in a low voice, not wanting to disturb the little boy lying beside her on the bed.
Nicole slowly opened her eyes upon hearing Kerr's warm voice. White flashed before her eyes, rendering her a little dizzy.
"Where am I?" Nicole murmured.
"You're in the hospital. Are you in pain?" Kerr asked.
Kerr reached out his hand to touch Nicole's slightly pale face.
Watching Kerr and Nicole, Jared stood dumbstruck with his jaw almost to the ground. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not believe that the tender person in front of him was the CEO of the Gu Group.
Nicole struggled to regain her senses. When she turned her head toward Kerr's voice, Nicole met his sympathetic gaze. Suddenly, she remembered something and grabbed Kerr's arm.
"Is the bidding over? What happened?"
Nicole completely sobered up and remembered that she fainted in the bidding venue. This project was very important to Kerr. Nicole had put a lot of effort on it, so she c
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.

"Sorry to disappoint you."
Harley threw the papers directly to Kerr. His movement was natural and unrestrained, but there was a hint of disappointment in his voice.
Harley was surprised by the paternity test results. Jay looked so much like Kerr, but the paternity test revealed no familial relation between them.
Frowning, Kerr opened the report in his hand. His eyes dimmed and disappointment clouded his face.
"What's wrong?" Nicole asked.
Seeing Kerr's face change from smugness to disappointment, Nicole grew curious about the piece of paper in his hand. She could not imagine what could swing his mood so suddenly.
"Nothing. I'll be right back."
Putting away the papers, Kerr stormed out of the room.
Harley turned his head to the innocent-looking Nicole, an evil smile slowly spreading across his face.
"Do you want to know what happened, beautiful? For the sake of your pretty face, I'm going to tell you."
Before Harley could say more, he felt a chill coming at him from behind, making him shiver. Kerr's forceful hand was upon him before he could see him coming.
Kerr grabbed Harley by the nape of his collar. He did not loosen his grip until they were out of the ward.
