"It was your fault, wasn't it? I didn't find her because you placed obstacles in my way."
Kerr's tone was calm, but the disappointed expression was hard to hide on his face.
"How dare you speak to me this way! Are you not aware of who you are talking to? I think you've forgotten the rules of Gu family."
Provoked by Kerr's tone, Jack's authority was challenged. His face contorted to one of intense anger.
"Which rule? The one where we aren't allowed to focus on only one woman? Is that the rule you're referring to?"
Ever since Kerr could remember, his father told him that he couldn't love a woman too much. Everything he did, he had to do it rationally, because he knew that in his father's eyes, love was useless, worthless.
From the moment he was born into the Gu family, he had not enjoyed the care of loving parents. He had never witnessed any affection between them, and even his mother did not care about the other women his father had outside their marriage.
In the eyes of the public, they were always a lovely couple, but in this place they called home, they were always cold towards each other.
"I have given you too much power, haven't I? Everything that you have is mine. I can take them all back."
Jack's anger increased tenfold as he looked at the obstinate expression of Kerr.
Hearing his father's words, Kerr just smiled and then turned to walk out of the house.
"Kerr!"
Sunny looked at Kerr's retreating back and tried to run after him. Before he got into his car, she ran to him and then hugged him from behind, tightly locking her arms around his waist.
"Kerr, I'm not asking you for anything. Please don't let me go. I love you. I've fallen in love with you since we were younger."
She didn't expect Kerr to be so firm with his decision. In fact, there was no other reason for her to love him. It was not only because he would inherit the Gu Group in the future, but also because she was very obsessed with this charming man.
But she never imagined that Kerr wo
nd achieve throughout your life? The least you should decide on is something that could make you happy."
Avery noticed that every time Nicole mentioned Kerr, her eyes would twinkle in a strange light. People always said that you could easily tell if a girl loved a man from the look in her eyes when she talked about that certain man.
The affection in Nicole's eyes was so obvious that her love for Kerr couldn't be denied.
"I... Do I like him?"
Nicole muttered to herself and sighed.
She was so worried about Kerr. She didn't know if he was mad at her, if he would leave eventually or he would wait for her the entire night if she didn't go out.
An hour passed by, then two hours.
She continued to stand by the window and watched the car, stubbornly refusing to leave.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning lit up the dark sky. In the dim light, Nicole seemed to see Kerr sitting in the car and turned to run downstairs.
"Remember to bring an umbrella!"
Lying on the bed, Avery looked at Nicole disappearing. With a smile, she reminded her friend to keep herself dry and then closed her eyes to sleep. Tonight, her friend would not come back.
As soon as he saw Nicole appear at the gate of Lin family villa, Kerr opened the door and got out of the car. Not caring if he got wet from the pouring rain, he strode towards Nicole.
