The Reunion After Seven Years

"My father seemed to have mentioned it a long time ago. Why did you bring it up all of a sudden?"

There was a puzzled look on Sunny's face. She didn't know why this man would discuss with her a past deal made by the He Group. Her father was the one in charge of the He Group's financial matters so she had limited knowledge about the family business.

"Seven years ago, the Ning Group's company was purchased by the He Group. Coincidentally, Nicole Ning was the eldest daughter of the Ning clan."

Sunny's eyes widened in surprise as her mind tried to connect the dots. No one could escape red thread of fate no matter how hard one tried. Fate was indeed a powerful force, she thought to herself.

"You mean, the He Group was the cause of Nicole's loss?"

This turn of events took her by surprise. Seven years ago, she vaguely remembered that her father indeed told her about it. But she was not interested in business matters at all.

Interestingly, her father told her that Kerr had helped the He Group to secure the business deal. His involvement was the only reason why she remembered that incident.

When she thought of Kerr, a realization suddenly dawned on her. Unseen by the man she was talking to over the phone, a cunning smile stretched the corners of her mouth.

To Sunny's perspective, it seemed that the goddess of fate was helping her.

"I know what to do," she replied a bit enthusiastically.

Hearing her excited voice, the man sighed.

"The He Group already took everything away from Nicole. Are you going to make her suffer even more?"

He told Sunny about the He Group's involvement with the Ning Group in order to win her pity. He was hoping that Sunny would feel guilty and spare Nicole.

But apparently, she didn't think so. He didn't expect that his plan would backfire.

"Nicole is so unlucky. Wait, you seemed to be too concerned about her. Are you in love with her? Don't forget who you are!"

With a smile on her face, Sunny hung up the phone. If Nicole were to know that Kerr was involved in the purchase of the Ning Group's company, she would be furious at him. She would never see Kerr again.
