"Tell me what you know," Nicole said.
Avery came to the hospital early in the morning to inform Nicole about what she had found out, but she did not expect that she had not yet recovered.
Nicole was excited. Except for Jay's matter, this was her biggest concern.
"The Ning Group had cooperated with the Gu Group before, but rumor has it that the Gu Group withdrew capital at the last signature.
No agreement has been reached, but your father had put a lot of effort on it. With the withdrawal of the Gu Group, all the previous preparations of the Ning Group ended up in vain.
It's just a rumor, which we have no way of confirming. Now that you and Kerr are together, maybe you could ask him. Maybe he knows the whole story."
As soon as her suggestion came out, Avery regretted it. Nicole and Kerr had just fallen in love.
If the Gu Group really bankrupted the Ning Group and Kerr knew about it, Nicole would be caught in a dilemma.
"Nicole... Maybe it's all just a rumor."
Nicole's heart sank. She fell silent for a long time.
"After I leave here, I will check it out myself. Don't tell anyone about this. Thank you, Avery."
Rumors were not enough for Nicole to resent Kerr. Until she found out the truth, she would give him the benefit of the doubt.
She wanted evidence.
"Don't mention it."
Avery smiled at Nicole.
Outside the ward, Ken was talking to Kerr.
"You see, all the reports that the media was going to release were wiped out. Apparently, somebody hacked their website and blocked the for-release content. It happened last night."
Ken handed Kerr his laptop. He still could not get over what just happened.
He had planned to block the stories from being released, but som
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.
you going to date Miss Avery Lin?"
"Of course not. I have an appointment with my beloved woman today. I have to go now. I'm going to be late."
After checking his watch, Harley turned around and walked out of the hospital.
Looking at Harley's receding figure, Harrow felt slightly relieved. He should have told Harley something, but he did not say it.
Kerr was back at the ward.
"I should go. Kerr is back. Call me if anything happens, will you?"
Avery stood up and bid Nicole goodbye.
She nodded slightly at Kerr on her way out.
"Take good care of her and maybe she'll surprise you with something."
There was a hint of slyness in Avery's eyes.
Kerr simply smiled and nodded. He walked to Nicole and felt her forehead. Her temperature had finally returned to normal.
He sighed with relief and sat beside her.
"Have you resolved the issue at the site?"
Nicole asked Kerr, looking gently into his eyes.
She had not forgotten what Jared said last night. A matter that could attract so much attention from Kerr could not easily be solved.
And it involved her, although not directly, so she had to know more about it.
