"I'm glad he's not angry. I'm on my way to work. I got drunk yesterday and didn't go home. But how did Jay know that I was with Kerr?"
When she heard that Jay went to school, she breathed a sigh of relief. But she was confused. She had no idea that Kerr would be in the bar, and how on earth did her son know that they were together?
"He sent Jared to pick him up from school yesterday. Are you thinking clearly? How did you get drunk with Kerr? What if he finds out he is Jay's father? Are you going to stay with him then?"
Baron was befuddled. The girl on the other end of the phone insisted that she wanted nothing but for Kerr Gu to stay away from her and her son, but here she was in the aftermath of drinking with that same man.
He worried that Nicole had fallen into Kerr's trap, so he reminded her of her son.
He knew that mentioning Jay could easily bring Nicole back to reality.
"No, I wasn't in the right state of mind. But you are far more distressed than I am. I know I went overboard with drinking last night. I won't do that again. Don't worry about me. I can handle it.
I'm headed to work now. I'll treat you to dinner later as thanks for taking care of Jay last night."
After she hung up the phone, she looked at the driver in front of her, and it seemed he didn't hear any part of the conversation regarding the relationship between Jay and Kerr. She sighed in relief. Remembering what transpired earlier, however, she was still bothered with how Kerr left angrily this morning.
She didn't expect that Kerr would take care of her drunken self and didn't take advantage of her. The things that she said to him this morning left her feeling regretful, after hearing what happened from the maid.
But she couldn't take back what she said. She knew she had to apologize to Kerr. After all, she was wrong to say those horrible words to him.
When the car stopped at the gate of the Gu Group, Nicole expressed her thanks to the driver and went
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.
her for sure, so she pretended that she was making trouble for Nicole so that he would really believe her words.
"Confirm it,"
Kerr ordered Jared, and then lowered his head with anger in his eyes.
Was Nicole going with Baron? Was Baron the man she wanted to see upon waking up this morning?
After giving Sunny a meaningful look, Jared turned and walked out of the office.
In the washroom of Gu Group.
Nicole was exhausted and sat on the floor. She hadn't eaten anything since yesterday afternoon, and drank a lot at night. She knew she threw up her stomach's contents, and she had nothing to eat this morning.
She was getting weaker by the minute. She leaned against the door and tried to knock on it over and over again, but her force was decreasing.
Helplessly, she could only talk to the door, hoping someone would hear her. "Open the door..."
Meanwhile, Ken entered the Gu Group dejectedly. Anyone could see that he was miserable. He did not expect that his father would be so serious this time.
His father cut off his rights from the Qin Group, and even all the assets under Ken's name were taken. He was stripped away of everything he owned. He thought his father was just bluffing, but it seemed that the old man was serious this time.
Luckily, he still had a shot by talking to Kerr.
