The balloon stopped just above Nicole and Kerr.
Bang! In a flash, the balloon exploded.
Kerr raised his hand and shielded Nicole‘s head.
However, nothing came out of the balloon but innumerable colorful ribbons, which scattered over Kerr
and Nicole.
Additionally, there was a card hanging from a small balloon.
Kerr stretched his arm and grabbed the card. The message on the card was, "Congratulations on your
wedding!"
The handwriting was handsome.
Kerr recognized Jay‘s signature immediately, and he handed it to Nicole.
"It's Jay."
Nicole delightedly took the card and read it. Smiling, she was already deciding upon an answer in her
mind.
"You all knew about this already, didn't you! You were just hiding it from me." Nicole pouted at Kerr.
Kerr put his arm around her shoulder and smirked, "How else could it be a surprise?" Kerr turned
around and was about to take Nicole to the lounge, but he saw a man walking towards them.
"Congratulations, Mr. Gu!" Jeremy smiled at Kerr and turned his eyes to Nicole. "Congratulations,
Director Ning. Oh, I'm sorry. I should have said Mrs. Gu."
Nicole sensed the irony in his words. She frowned slightly and joylessly. As a partner of the Gu Group,
Jeremy should have been invited to the wedding.
But Nicole never felt comfortable in Jeremy's presence. Her instinct always told her that Jeremy had
ulterior motives.
"Thank you, Mr. Chu."
She didn't want to talk too much with him. Holding Kerr's hand, she wanted to leave as soon as
possible. She knew that all the guests there had attended for the sake of the Gu family and the He
family, and served only those families' interests.
None of those people really belonged at their wedding.
Jeremy stepped forward, looked Kerr straight in the eye, and said, "Mr. Gu, I want to discuss a
business matter with you in detail. Do you have some time?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chu. This is my wedding, it's not a time for business. Let's talk about it later at the
company."
Kerr was sensitive to the fact that Nicole didn’t like Jeremy, so he intended to leave with her.
But Jeremy had come prepared.
"Mr. Gu, aren't you curious about the news I bring you?" Jeremy failed to stop Kerr from walking away,
but there was an implicit meaning in his words. "If you don't seize this opportunity, I think Mr. Moore Gu
will be interested in it."
What Jeremy really wanted to know was whether Kerr or Moore would be the next leader of the Gu
Group.
It had been widely reported that although Kerr was the Gu family's heir by blood, his power had been
weakened little by little, while Moore was currently rising in strength and power.
With a mocking grin on his face, Kerr said, "Mr. Chu, I don't want to do business with you if you can’t
even make a decision on your own."
More than anything in the world, he hated to be threatened.
After that, Kerr took Nicole's hand and walked out of the church.
Nothing in the world mattered to him more than Nicole.
When Nicole looked behind her, she saw Jeremy and his crafty smile, which made her heart skip a
beat.
She tightened her grip on Kerr's hand and reminded him, "Kerr, I think he has a trick up his sleeve. You
must be careful."
"I know. Don't worry."
When they had walked out of the church, the sun was shining brightly, and Nicole was smiling joyfully.
In spite of the annoying people that day, her dream had come true and she had her whole life with Kerr
in front of her.
"Mr. Gu, a stranger sent this to Miss Ning...I mean, Mrs. Gu...just now. And said that it is a wedding
gift." There was a delicate gift in Jared's hand, an elegantly wrapped box. Was something precious and
beautiful inside?
There was a red silk ribbon on the box.
Nicole smiled and walked to Jared. There was no card on the box. She wondered who sent it. "Was it
from Jay?"
"Open it and you'll find out." Kerr stood beside her and gently looked at her.
Nicole nodded and pulled the red silk ribbon open, with her eyes full of expectation. She opened the lid
of the gift box, and looked inside.
"Ah!" But when she saw the bloody thing in the box, she was so terrified that she threw the box lid
away from her.
"Nicole!" Kerr held her in his arms.
Jared looked inside the box. There was a dead cat which was still small and covered with blood. It was
a very gruesome sight. Jared abruptly stepped back and kept a distance from Nicole.
Nicole was in a cold sweat and grabbed the collar of Kerr's shirt tightly. She wanted to look up at him,
but her eyes filled with darkness and she lost consciousness.
"Don't be afraid! I'm here, Nicole." With knitted brows and angry face, Kerr stared at Jared, who could
only gape at the scene innocently.
Seeing that Nicole was falling to the ground, Kerr lifted her up and held her in his arms. "Nicole!" he
called softly, but his voice didn't wake her up.
"Harley!" shouted Kerr.
Harley was standing inside the church and chatting with Ken. He sensed something wrong when he
heard the sound at the door, so he rushed to the door. When he saw that Nicole had passed out, he
was shocked.
"What happened?" asked Harley.
"She was traumatized by what she saw." Kerr‘s tone was cold, and he felt that there was something
sticky on his hands while holding Nicole's legs.
Kerr looked down and found that the white hemline of Nicole’s wedding dress had turned red.
"Take her to the hospital!" seeing the blood on her clothes, Harley shouted.
Jared dropped the gift box, opened the door and got into the driver's seat.
When the crowd inside heard the noise, they rushed out of the hall, just in time to see that Kerr was
carrying Nicole into the car. Harley followed them and left.
They were all confused. "What happened? They seemed fine just a moment ago!" Avery murmured to
herself, confused.
Zachary took a quick glance at the box on the ground and saw a dark red liquid flowing from the bright
red box. In a split second, he knew that something was wrong.
"What's that?" Seeing the box on the ground, Bonnie walked over to take a look.
Avery's curiosity was also triggered. She was about to follow Bonnie, but Zachary pulled her arm.
Before she could say anything, Zachary raised his hand and covered her eyes.
