For Kerr, he already had the whole world, thanks to Nicole.
After a score of melodious piano music, Kerr took Nicole's hand, leading her to finish the last round.
She bent over slightly and bowed to Kerr with a happy smile forming on her face.
Hand in hand, Kerr went straight to the stage and surveyed everyone present, a firm look embedded in
his eyes.
"Thank you all for attending the celebration party of our company today. Our company has outshone
the competition in the bidding. The credit is due to Nicole Ning, standing beside me.
I'm overjoyed that the Gu Group has a talent like Director Ning."
Kerr flashed a smile at Nicole next to him.
The area filled with the thunder of applause.
Nicole's face had reddened slightly, but she did not seek to avoid Kerr's hot eyes.
She knew that as long as she stayed with Kerr, she would often find herself in this kind of situation in
the future. She couldn't let others feel that she behaved impertinently, because from now on, she would
no longer only represent herself.
"Besides..."
Kerr raised his hand, signaling everyone to silence.
"I have another private matter to divulge to you all. Nicole is no longer only the director of the Gu
Group, but she is now also my fiancee. I could not miss out on the opportunity of the celebration
banquet today. So, I will now officially propose to her."
He turned around, facing Nicole with a deep intent in his eyes. While everyone was still too shocked to
do anything, he pulled out a ring from his pocket and held it up in front of her.
"Kerr... You?"
While the people present were caught off guard, Nicole also did not expect that Kerr's announcement
of her role in the bidding would end in a marriage proposal.
"Nicole, are you willing to marry me and be my wife?"
Kerr took a step back, but as he was about to bend and kneel down, he heard a disruption from the
entrance.
"Mr. Gu, Uncle Kelvin is here."
With an unfamiliar panic on his face, Jared walked up to Kerr.
Hearing the panic in his voice, Kerr stopped and turned to face the entrance.
Wearing a pure black evening suit, Kelvin quickly stepped up to the stage. He nodded slightly at Kerr,
then he turned around and faced the audience.
"I'm sorry, everyone. Today I'm here on behalf of the chairman of the Gu Group, Jack Gu. On the one
hand, I'd like to congratulate the Gu Group with their achievements today."
Kelvin led the loud applause and turned to look at Nicole and Kerr, smiling with a profound meaning in
his eyes.
When Nicole recognized the man in front of her as the one who had threatened her the other day, she
became instantly nervous. She tightened her grip on Kerr's hand. The threat still echoed vivid in her
mind.
Feeling the coldness of Nicole, Kerr held her hand tightly and stared malevolently at Kelvin.
"In addition, there is more news that I have the pleasure of announcing on Mr. Jack Gu's behalf. Moore
Gu has returned from his studies abroad, and he will officially enter the Gu Group where he will be
appointed as the new director of the project department. From tomorrow on, he will take the reins of the
new project."
As soon as his voice faded away, a man in a silver suit appeared at the venue entrance. With a gentle
smile on his carefully composed face, his eyes were fixed on Kerr and Nicole, who were still standing
on the stage.
Moore Gu gracefully strolled onto the stage and stood beside Kerr.
"Brother, long time no see,"
offering a friendly smile, Moore greeted Kerr with the appearance of friendship.
Seeing the feigned smile on Moore's face, Kerr pulled a long face. A few days ago, Kerr had already
discovered that Moore had returned, however, he hadn't expected that he would seek to enter the Gu
Group immediately upon his return.
"I never knew I had a brother."
From the day Moore had entered the Gu family, Kerr had shown resistance to his adopted brother. No
matter how much Moore had tried to please him, he had sensed that he was a wolf in sheep's clothing.
"It's simply because I have been abroad for a long time, therefore, my brother doesn't remember me. I
will help you to manage the Gu Group from now on."
Moore looked at him, completely unperturbed, as if he hadn't even noticed his attitude at all.
He turned to Nicole and stared at her with an evil grin.
"How lovely to meet you again."
Hearing what he said, Nicole was surprised as she couldn't remember where she had previously met
him.
Looking at the expression on Moore's face, Kerr raised his hand to his lips and coughed, reminding
him.
Moore turned back to the audience, looked at the surprised guests, and politely bowed to them.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Moore Gu, and I have been studying abroad. I have returned to help my brother
manage the Gu Group. It is my hope that we can all get on well in the future."
Looking at Moore's conniving face, Nicole felt down in the dumps. All the efforts she had put in over the
past few months had just been made in vain, simply because she had chosen to be Kerr's woman.
Keeping her tears all to herself, Nicole comforted herself that losing her position as direction of the
project department was nothing big as long as she could be together with Kerr.
Noticing Nicole's ragged breathing, Kerr stepped forward and was about to publicly deny Moore's
statement, but Nicole held his hand and squeezed it, signaling for him to do nothing.
She knew that Kerr cared deeply for her, but she didn't want him to stand in conflict with the Gu family
because of her. After all, the Gu family's attitude had obviously been made clear. This was a public
event, and there were too many people present, so she couldn't let the Gu family become a laughing
stock.
"Master, His Lordship is waiting for you in the lounge."
As Kelvin passed Jack's message to Kerr, he cast a meaningful glance at Nicole, who was still standing
beside Kerr.
"Brother, let's go and see Dad together."
Moore winked at the host, who was overwhelmed by this situation, and then he fixed his eyes on Kerr.
The host immediately came to his senses and began speaking of other things. Kerr took Nicole's hand
and helped her from the stage.
He did not intend to go see Jack. He already knew what Jack wanted to say to him. Kerr's public
proposal to Nicole had been ruined, so he intended to just leave here with her.
Nicole decided to remain silent, leaving it up to Kerr to decide what to do.
"Master Kerr, you'd better go and see your father. Mr. Su as well as Miss Ning's son are also in the
lounge."
Seeing that Kerr intended to leave, Kelvin had no choice but to use Jay as a way to prevent him from
leaving.
Hearing this, Nicole immediately stopped, released Kerr's hand, and turned to look at the man in front
of her with wide eyes.
"What have you done to Jay?"
