Anyone would know that ticking off the Gu heir would mean catastrophe to whoever crossed him. Kerr had laid waste to the reporter's career, and gave a hint to Jared, who stood behind him, with his cold eyes. He swiftly turned around and took Nicole's hand under everyone's gaze, and walked out.
Although no one asked, everyone had their own theory behind Kerr's odd behavior, but it all boiled down to the child. They figured that the young boy must be related to the Gu Group's CEO in some way, otherwise he wouldn't have cared.
For the first time in all of history, Kerr Gu protected a woman, a woman with a child nonetheless. Everyone was wildly curious about the identity of Nicole Ning and Jay Ning.
Taking his boss' hint, Jared took off the name tag of the female reporter's chest and noted it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the commotion is over, the Fang Group's Anniversary Party has officially begun."
The host then took everyone's attention and slowly got the tension to lessen.
Baron wanted to go after Nicole but his mother stopped him. "Baron, today is a very important day for the Fang Group. You can't leave!"
Mrs. Fang warned Baron while holding his arm.
She had spent a lot of time and energy on raising Baron to be the man that he was. Making any mistake was unacceptable because marriage was a matter of vital importance to his whole life, to the entire Fang Group.
Baron tried to piece together what happened and came to one conclusion. "Mom, this is your doing. You asked them to bring Jay here, am I right? You want everyone to know that Nicole is a single mother.
Because you want to tear apart the idea that she and I can be together, so you are trying to ruin her reputation, am I right?"
Baron looked at his mother in disbelief. His mother had always been gentle and kind in his eyes. But today, she showed her true colors. His mother was a scheming woman who would even dare hurt a child.
He was not only surprised, but also very disappointed.
"I'm doing this for your own good. Maggie is back, so don't
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.
earing the voice behind her, Nicole turned her head and looked at Mrs. Fang who was walking towards her slowly.
The Fang matriarch wore a dark blue cheongsam, looking very regal, and the cold color accentuated her seriousness.
Mrs. Fang's eyes were fixed on Nicole. She glanced at Jay who was held by Kerr in his arms. Her eyes showed her clear agenda as she carried a stack of papers in her hands.
"Are you Miss Ning?" Nicole simply nodded in response before Mrs. Fang continued what she had to say. "I'm well aware that in Manhattan, you and Baron were good friends, but Baron is different from you. He has the responsibility of the entire Fang family, and not just anyone can become his bride and become the daughter-in-law of our family.
I hope that you know who you are, Miss Ning. I only hope that Baron will have a wife from a good family with a clean background. I don't have any comment on how you live your life.
But giving birth to a baby without a father isn't something I can ignore."
Mrs. Fang threw the stack of papers on Nicole. Her eyes were filled with disgust.
Reading what was on them, Nicole's eyes widened at the bold letters "Paternity Test Report". She was trying so hard to contain her anger at what she discovered.
She didn't expect that Baron's mother would secretly do a paternity test for Jay and Baron, which could endanger Jay.
