"Dad, Uncle He,"
Kerr greeted the older men in a casual manner, neither domineering nor servile. Like a blank canvas,
his face held no expression.
Striding in with power, a confident voice flowed to the room. "Now that Kerr and Sunny have arrived,
we can finally have dinner together."
Freya Qin wore a dark purple dress, which made her look exceptionally elegant and gorgeous.
Although she was not young, she looked well preserved, noble and beautiful.
She married into the Gu family many years ago. Even though not everything went well in her marriage,
she had a son as excellent as Kerr, which helped her gain a foothold in the family.
"Mom."
Kerr turned around and walked into the dining room.
"Hello, Uncle, Auntie!"
It was not until then that Sunny made her presence known. She looked at Jack and Freya Qin with a
charming expression on her face.
"Have you been busy since you came back from abroad? Sunny, dear, you didn't even come to see
me."
With admiration in her eyes, Freya Qin walked up to Sunny and took her hands intimately.
"Well, even I have only seen her a few times since she came back. I have no idea what she is up to all
the time."
Standing by Jack's side, Daniel pretended to blame his daughter, but in fact, he was looking towards
Kerr expectantly.
He had always hoped that Sunny could marry into the Gu family. Although the He family was not as
powerful as the Gu family, in the whole A City, apart from the He family, no one could be more matched
with Kerr than Sunny.
"Dad, I'm sorry for not coming to see you more. I didn't mean to, it's just that I want to be able to do
anything to help Kerr. I'm working as his assistant now and I was hoping I could do him a favor."
With shyness, Sunny stole a glance at Kerr.
"Really? That's fantastic news! I was hoping that you could spend more time with Kerr. Now that you
are working together, it will be more convenient for you two."
In fact, Freya Qin had already known that Sunny had gotten a job in the Gu Group. She already
thought of Sunny as her daughter-in-law, so she was ecstatic to hear the news and thought that it was
good for Sunny to be around Kerr as early and as much as possible.
She never cared about her son's private life, but she still worried that he would end up getting involved
in the wrong crowd and become obsessed with messy women. Now with Sunny by his side, her mind
was put to rest.
"Dad, I have something important to discuss with you."
Kerr was increasingly vigilant, noticing that everyone in the room was focusing on his impending
marriage with Sunny. Although none of them expressed it openly, this marriage had been planned for a
very long time.
He couldn't let things go on like this.
Hearing Kerr's tone, Jack raised his head and looked at him earnestly. He already had an idea as to
what his son wanted to discuss, but he wouldn't allow it.
"Let's eat first."
Over the years, he had seldom looked into Kerr's private life, but every action of Kerr in the Gu Group
was under his watch.
Although he regarded Kerr as his only heir, the Gu Group had strong roots, so he had to be prepared,
just in case.
"Yes, everyone take your seat and we'll be served shortly."
Sensing the seriousness in Kerr's voice, Freya invited everyone to take a place at the table.
Seeing the expression on Kerr's face, Daniel gestured to Sunny silently with his eyes. The He family's
daughter just shook her head slightly.
After taking their seats, not one person spoke. As tension rose in the air, Freya decided to break it.
"Sunny, you are working with Kerr now. Please help me take good care of him."
Freya gently patted Sunny's hand, who was sitting next to her, and there was deep meaning in her
eyes.
Looking into Freya's eyes, Sunny immediately understood what she meant. She nodded and said yes
with a smile.
"I will, Auntie. Don't worry."
"I don't need anyone to take care of me."
Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Kerr looked up at his mother firmly, and then looked directly at
his father.
"Since everyone is here today, I'd like to be frank with you. I think it would be better for Sunny to return
to He Group instead of staying in the Gu Group."
He looked at Jack with firm eyes. Of course he knew that his father had known that Sunny had entered
the Gu Group when she returned to the country. Since childhood, his father had always prioritized the
Gu Group above everything else.
He was well aware that his father would never allow just anyone to work in the Gu Group; their people
came from a roster of only the best. But because of her status and identity as the heir of the He Group,
Sunny was given special consideration to work in the company. If it were up to her abilities, she would
never have been able to enter the company.
"Kerr."
Sunny suddenly raised her head and looked at Kerr in surprise.
She knew that it was no big deal for Kerr to fire her, but she didn't expect him to do that directly in front
of her father and his family.
"Kerr, watch your words very carefully,"
Jack warned, whose eyes showed nothing but disapproval. Kerr's rudeness could not be excused,
especially since they were in front of other people.
He knew that his son didn't like Sunny, but he had never disobeyed before. As a matter of fact, Jack
didn't think that they were together because they loved each other, it was purely business.
"Father, I've decided that the agreement between the Gu family and the He family is over."
Kerr was a straightforward person. Now that he wanted to make things clear, he would tell all of them
directly.
Although the cooperation between the Gu Group and the He Group would bring great benefits to the
Gu Group, he did not think that the Gu Group would be affected in any way without the He Group's
business.
"Shut your mouth! Follow me to the study. We will discuss this in private."
Jack set his chopsticks on the table forcefully, stood up and turned to walk towards the study.
Kerr stood up and looked at his father's back.
"Father, I have thought it over clearly. I have said what I wanted to say. I still have important business to
attend to, I'll be leaving now."
Hearing Kerr's response, anger was clearly visible on the elder Gu's face.
"How dare you speak to me this way! Stop!"
"Don't think that I don't know what you're doing. That woman from seven years ago is dead. You'd
better give up."
Jack never stopped Kerr, but that didn't mean he knew nothing about it.
He had received the news that Kerr used his family's power to find a woman, but he didn't care about
that information at all, so he chose to turn a blind eye on it.
But recently, he heard that Kerr had been putting more effort into searching for this mystery woman. It
seemed that he would never stop looking for her. So he had to doubt that Kerr's insolence was related
to this matter.
Kerr stopped and turned around to look at his father, astonished with what he heard.
