Kerr was skeptical with what he was hearing from the woman in front of him. Looking at the man's
scrutinizing eyes, Sunny felt a little guilty, but she tried to keep calm.
Crossing his arms in question, he decided to dig a little deeper into her intentions. "So what are you
trying to say here? That you could tolerate seeing Nicole by my side? Don't try to play games with me,
Sunny. You know who I am, and you're well aware as to where I draw the line. "
He glanced at her and then fixed his eyes on the computer screen.
He knew the idea might work. After all, he had indeed used her to get a reaction out of Nicole before,
and it worked. It was also the reason why he kept Sunny by his side until now.
But he didn't want to hurt Nicole because he was trying to make her jealous by being seen with Sunny.
A hint of sadness flashed through the Sunny's eyes.
Of course she was jealous of Nicole. She loved Kerr so much that she wouldn't be willing to let him go,
not without a fight. But in order to stay with Kerr for the rest of her life, she had to compromise.
"Kerr, my feelings for you run deeper than any way I could ever express them. If it's possible, I would
like to be your woman, because I know you far better than Nicole does and I know what kind of woman
you need by your side. But you like her, so I'll help you get her.
Unless, you are worried that you'll end up falling in love with me."
She knew how proud Kerr was, well enough to be able to poke and prod at his weak spots. Provoking
him on purpose would play well in her favor.
"Are you going for a wager? Sunny, aren't you afraid that your effort will all end up in vain?"
Kerr was a little surprised at what Sunny had said today. In the past, he had thought that her actions
were those of a silly little girl, so he had never taken it seriously.
But now, he realized that he had to think twice when it involved her.
"I'm not afraid of anything. I'm willing to do anything for you."
She looked at him, eyes full of deep affection and longing.
"You are smart. You should know why I've kept you in the Gu Group. So Sunny, please don't place all
your energy and attention on me. No one can control how I lead my life."
Even though he knew that her method might be useful to get Nicole, he didn't need anyone to teach
him how to keep Nicole by his side.
It was an unnecessary course of action.
"Well, it's your decision Kerr, I'll go ahead."
She knew that if she continued to provoke him, he would doubt her intentions. After all, he didn't trust
her very much to risk it. She didn't want to play around and push the limit. Not now, at least.
A proud man would never allow others to teach him anything. Maybe the only thing that could help her
win against Nicole was that she knew Kerr better than that director did.
Watching her receding figure, Kerr fell into deep thought, his mind swimming towards a certain woman.
"Where is she, Jared?"
Pressing a button on the phone, he called his assistant, inquiring about the whereabouts of Nicole.
"Mr. Gu, Director Ning has called the Gu household, and I have sent Jay back to the villa. She won't
come back tonight. She is with the daughter of the Lin family, Avery Lin."
Jared then drove away from the Gu's villa after answering his boss.
When Kerr heard that Nicole would not be home tonight, the light in his eyes became dim. Was she
hiding from him? If so, then he would like to see where Nicole would hide.
After hanging up the phone, he stood up, took his car key and walked towards the underground parking
lot.
As soon as he got into the car, Kerr received a call from the Gu family's ancestral house. The elders
asked Kerr to take Sunny back to his old home for dinner. Although Kerr didn't want to go, he knew he
should take the opportunity to make things clear, so he agreed, reluctantly.
He suddenly heard a woman, "Kerr, wait for me! "
As she walked out of the Gu Group's building, Sunny saw Kerr sitting in the car. She called out to him
and then quickly walked over to his car. She sat in the passenger seat.
"Have you received the call? Even if you don't want to, you could bear to have a meal with me, right?"
Sunny's tone was feeble as she looked at the side face of Kerr.
"Fine, but I'm only going there to make things clear later."
Now that Kerr had known what he wanted, he didn't want to put this off any longer. The so-called
engagement between Kerr and Sunny was no more than the will of Gu family and He family.
Although the He Group had no great power compared to the Gu Group, it had a deep-rooted family
business in the city. Thus the He Group was the best choice for the Gu Group to unite with through
marriage.
"Have you really made up your mind? Is Nicole really the woman you want? You haven't known her for
long. How much do you really know her? She already has a child. It's impossible for your father and
mother to accept them."
Sunny understood what he meant. Tonight, Kerr intended to use this opportunity to make his position
known in the Gu family, to break off his relationship with her. She knew that Kerr liked Nicole very
much, but she did not expect that Nicole made such an influence on Kerr that he was very firm with his
decision to dissolve the engagement between the two of them.
"It has nothing to do with you. I have never wanted my marriage to be decided by anyone apart from
myself. You and I have nothing to do with each other in the first place. I have made myself clear to you
for the very reason that I don't want anyone to have delusions about what we are."
With one hand on the steering wheel, and the other on the door, Kerr replied calmly without looking at
her.
In his world, he did not need to rely on anyone. Although he was the successor of the Gu Group, he
had relied on his own skills and abilities to get promoted step by step. He did not need anyone's help.
Since the beginning, everything he had was the result of his own hard work. If he wasn't even qualified
to choose any woman he pleased to stay by his side, then what he had gained was meaningless. He
was no one's puppet and he refused to be one as long as he was alive.
Looking at Kerr's cold expression, Sunny went silent.
She knew it was meaningless to argue with him. Now she could only pin her hope on the Gu family and
the He family elders.
The car drove into the Gu family's old house. After stopping, Kerr directly got out of the car, completely
ignoring Sunny behind him.
In the hall of Gu's old house
Daniel He was playing chess with Jack Gu.
"You are better at the game than I am, Jack. I'm willing to accept defeat."
Daniel He laughed heartily and with a light smile, Jack Gu put the piece back in the chess box.
"It's just a game. You don't have to take it seriously. But life is like a chess game. One should always
consider the overall situation with every step. Every move leads to another consequential move. Don't
you agree, Kerr?"
Jack Gu noticed the change when Kerr walked into the house. He turned around and looked at his son
with a glint in his eyes.
As the best and most suitable candidate to be the heir of the Gu family, he had invested all his efforts in
Kerr. He would never allow Kerr to make a mistake.
Luckily, Kerr had never let him down in all these years.
