It had been confirmed that Zachary was indeed the one Kerr was looking for, and he only needed the
DNA test.
Hearing this, Zachary just smiled faintly. "I wasn't born in the Lin family, but this is not a secret in the
industry. As for my real identity, I don't know what it has to do with you.
I've never been interested in knowing my birth parents. If you know, you don't have to tell me. I don't
want to know at all."
The disdain written on his face had an obvious meaning. Zachary felt that since his birth parents had
abandoned him like that, and then the Lin family had given him the warmth and safety which he had
never had before, he would never leave the Lin family.
He had no intention of helping Kerr with these matters, and what was more, he didn't want to end up
like Kerr.
Seeing the resolution on Zachary's face, it became clear to Kerr that Zachary already knew everything.
"Really? What if I tell you that if you don't allow me to confirm your real identity, you can never see
Avery again?" Kerr knew that Avery was Zachary‘s soft spot.
In this world, no matter how strong and powerful anyone was, they would have a weakness once they
fell in love with someone. So Kerr had a weapon with which to control Zachary.
As expected, when Zachary heard Kerr threaten him with Avery, the smile on his face disappeared
quickly. "Kerr Gu! If you dare to lay a finger on Avery, I swear you will lose everything."
Zachary stood up, clenching his fists tightly.
He would never allow anything to happen to Avery.
"I'll give you a month. I know you want to marry Avery. You can announce your real identity after your
wedding." Kerr didn't want to be overly forceful with him.
So he made this small compromise. In fact, the truth was that Kerr wouldn’t dare to hurt Avery, because
she was Nicole‘s best friend. If something happened to Avery because of him,
Nicole would make him regret it even before Zachary could do anything.
Observing Kerr's confidence, Zachary turned around and went back to the door. "Kerr, I know I'm not
the only one who has a weakness." Then Zachary left the office straightaway.
Zachary's warning brought a cloud to Kerr's face. Now he knew that Zachary was as smart as him, so
he had to come up with some plans.
As Zachary departed, Jared couldn't help but feel a little worried. "Mr. Gu, are you really going to give
everything to Mr. Zachary Lin? I don't think he wants to take the responsibility."
Everyone wanted to be a part of the Gu family, but ironically neither Kerr nor Zachary wanted anything
to do with the Gu Group.
"He will take it." Kerr spoke confidently. "How is the new villa I asked you to prepare?" Kerr was talking
about the new house he was preparing for Nicole and him.
Jared nodded. "Yes. Mr. Su will take care of it the day after tomorrow, and Mr. Qin will stop the people
from the He family. Mr. Gu, this wedding has attracted a lot of attention, and they would notice Miss
Ning when she shows up."
Jared knew that this plan was not perfect, but Kerr was insistent upon it, so he had to be zealous in
anticipating mistakes.
Kerr was looking forward to the delighted surprise on Nicole‘s face when she saw the villa.
But at that moment, Nicole was thinking about whether she should stop Kerr.
Knock, knock, knock! Someone was knocking at the door behind her. Nicole turned around and sat
down. "Come in."
Lily was standing at the door uneasily, and walked in with a glass of milk in her hand. "Nicole, here is
your milk." Lily stood in front of Nicole, but didn't put the glass in front of her.
She looked hesitant.
Nicole raised her head and looked into Lily’s eyes. She thought there was something wrong with her.
"What's wrong?" After the Ning Group was founded, Nicole let Lily continue to be her assistant, but
recently Lily had always been a little absent-minded.
Lily shook her head and set down the milk on the desk quickly. When she turned around to leave, she
heard Nicole's voice behind her.
"Lily!" Lily's body was obviously stiff. She turned around with a very guilty conscience and lowered her
face, afraid to look into Nicole's eyes.
"Your old apartment is too far away from the Ning Group. It's not convenient for your work now. I have a
small apartment nearby. It's not large, but it's enough for you. Here's the key. Take it."
With a faint smile, Nicole took the key out from a drawer, placed it on Lily's hand, and picked up the
glass of milk.
Looking at the key in her hand, Lily was deeply touched. She raised her head and saw that Nicole had
already put the glass to her lips. Lily quickly pulled the glass away from her.
The milk was spilled on the carpet before Nicole could take a sip.
"I'm sorry, Nicole!" Lily burst into tears.
In the end, Lily couldn't let any harm come to Nicole. When Moore threatened her, she had felt that she
had no choice.
Nicole saw the spilled milk on the ground and asked Lily, "What did you put in it?" No matter how stupid
she was lately, she knew there must be something wrong with the milk.
But she was glad that Lily was able to stop her.
Otherwise, she would be in danger.
"I'm sorry, Nicole. I didn't mean it. I really didn't know what to do." Lily raised her hand to cover her
face. She felt so ashamed that she didn't even have the courage to look at Nicole.
There was a trace of sadness in Nicole's eyes. She sighed and grabbed Lily's hand, guiding her to the
sofa. Then Nicole sat beside her.
"Tell me what happened." Nicole could sense that Lily had been forced by someone. Otherwise, she
was sure that Lily would never do anything to hurt her.
Lily took the tissue from Nicole and sniffed. She cried for a long time, as if she were venting all the
anxiety and pain she had felt in recent days.
She turned to Nicole and said, "Nicole, it was Moore. He fears that you will marry into the Gu family
because of your child, and that the child will be a nuisance for him in the future. So he wanted to get rid
of your child."
