The Reunion After Seven Years

"Get out!"

Hearing his cold voice, Sunny felt her body tremble all over with fear. She watched him clench his jaw. Knowing that he would have a fit, she ran out directly without saying another word and caring about her appearance.

Jared efficiently selected a shirt from the wardrobe and handed it to Kerr. When he saw him putting it on, his expression turned clouded and dispirited. All his words just now were in vain.

Lily was also curious. She had seen Nicole, looking unhappy after coming back from Kerr's office and directed her to ask for leave.

"How long has she been gone?"

He was more than upset, but he carefully hid

He nearly wanted to jump off when it was almost down to the first floor. Soon after he heard the elevator ding sound, he dashed all the way
