The flight was so long that Nicole was obviously unable to hold up. Her face turned pale, but she did
not say anything as she endured it.
Leaning against the window, Nicole looked out of it and watched the pure white clouds. Everything
looked so wonderful in that moment. However, she couldn't believe so many things had happened in
just a few days.
A few days ago, Kerr was still holding her hand. But now, he could only lie silently next to her. He didn't
even know if she was sad or happy.
"My little child. You must be strong as your dad is. He's waiting for us to wake him up."
She put her hand on her belly as she murmured with a smile on her face.
After the landing, Nicole didn't want to send Kerr to another hospital. After all, there were too many
possibilities that Kerr wouldn't be safe at all in there.
"We have to keep Kerr at home. I'm sorry we will need to trouble you more from now on, Harley,"
Nicole said to Harley nicely.
Nodding in agreement, Harley helped Nicole take Kerr to his own bedroom in the villa and gave him a
simple check-up. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with him, Harley left the room.
Sitting next to Kerr, Nicole looked at Jared who was worried about Kerr and smiled at him.
"I believe he will be fine, Jared. Don't be too worried. Let's get down to business now."
She had in mind that no one knew more about the Gu Group than Jared.
Jared nodded as he looked at Nicole. "Moore has been on the board of directors and has secretly
collected the shares of the Gu Group from the retail investors. I've been trying to stop it in the name of
Master Kerr."
Jared had been informed by Kim that something had happened to Kerr, but he never expected that his
condition was much worse than he had imagined.
"Got it. Take all those documents that need to be handled by Kerr to me. I will handle them for him at
home." Nicole could not show up temporarily yet. "You have to find a way to release the news to Moore
that Kerr and I have returned safely."
After all, the whole point of coming back was to let Moore know that Nicole and Kerr were still on track.
In that case, Moore would be worried that his own plan would be exposed. It was the only way for him
to give himself away.
"Alright, Miss Ning. I'll do it." Looking at Nicole's serious face, Jared agreed and then left the bedroom.
Nicole was still able to stay calm at this time. Feeling admirable, Jared knew that Kerr didn't misjudge
her.
As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Freya coming in from outside. Startled, he walked towards her
and bent slightly.
"My Lady. It's nice to see you."
Freya had been keeping an eye on the villa lately, so she had gotten the news as soon as the plane
landed. Now her eyes became sharp as she saw the nervous look on Jared's face.
"I heard that Kerr is here. Is that true? If so, then let me see him."
Although she knew that Kerr wasn't expecting to see her, she definitely wouldn't allow him to be so
reckless anymore. In addition to the matter at the last celebration party and coupled with the threat of
Jack, she thought that Kerr would be a little more restrained this time.
But to her surprise, Kerr kept behaving indifferent and became more presumptuous because of Nicole.
Hearing what Freya said, a look of hesitation appeared on Jared's face. However, when he saw the
obvious anger in Freya's eyes, he just nodded and let Freya sit on the sofa.
"Please wait for a moment, My Lady. Master Kerr has just come back. I'll go get him in a second."
He turned around and went upstairs as he responded to Freya.
"Miss Ning? It's me again, Jared."
He gently knocked on the bedroom door. But before Nicole could answer, he hurriedly walked in.
She frowned and asked him as she saw Jared coming in. "What happened?"
"Miss Ning, Kerr's mother is here. She is downstairs now and she wants to see him. Should I tell her
about the accident now?" The only thing he could do now was to ask for some advice from Nicole.
The light in Nicole's eyes dimmed as she heard the hurried tone of Jared. She was not surprised
though, as if she had foreseen it before. When she received Freya's call, she knew that she had to face
Kerr's mother sooner or later.
However, she didn't expect that Freya would come so soon.
"Thank you Jared. I'm going downstairs to see her." Nicole straightened her pajamas as she took a
deep breath in front of her mirror and went downstairs with Jared.
"Mrs. Gu, I didn't expect to see you so soon." Freya was sitting on the sofa while drinking tea gracefully.
Freya did not even raise her head as she heard Nicole's voice. She only frowned slightly and said a
few words. "I didn't know that if I wanted to see my son, Miss Ning would be the one to grant me
permission." There was obvious displeasure in her tone.
Nicole didn't mind her attitude at all. She calmly walked to the opposite side of Freya and sat down as
she smiled at her. "Of course not. But Kerr is quite busy to attend you now.
I believe that you knew that Kerr has delayed a lot of work because he has accompanied me abroad.
Now he is back, so there must be a lot of things to deal with. I know that you don't like me, but I hope
that you can set your mind at rest for now.
I won't let Kerr lose everything he owns. I know that what you think about is the same as I do. From this
perspective, we can sit together and have a chat."
Now that Moore had joined the Gu Group, Nicole had asked Jared to buy the shares that Moore was
collecting. This required a large amount of money. In order not to arouse the suspicion of the Gu
Group, she had to use other ways that weren't too noticeable.
In order to consolidate the position of Kerr in the Gu Group, she hoped that Freya could transfer her
shares to Kerr.
"You are a smart woman and I must recognize that. But I only want to talk to my son and you are just
trying to bargain with me so I can't get to see him. Miss Ning, aren't you afraid that you wouldn't be able
to see your son as well?"
Freya knew that Jay was the weakest spot of Nicole. She tried to find him, but failed to get any
information about the boy.
Nicole was shocked as she heard what Freya said. The smile on her face gradually disappeared and
she unconsciously looked at Jared who was next to her, but he was confused too. Obviously, he didn't
expect that Freya would mention Jay out of the blue.
"Mrs. Gu, I don't care what my image in your heart is but I can clearly tell you that I will not allow Kerr's
legacy to fall into the wrong hands. And I won't take away anything that doesn't belong to me."
Nicole straightened her face and looked at Freya seriously with a hint of irony on her lips.
