The Reunion After Seven Years

Nicole felt like the rain was falling onto her heart.

Jared held onto the steering wheel tightly, not daring to relax. It was dangerous to drive on a mountain road in this kind of weather, and Nicole's questions were not helping.

"It's... Director Ning, I think it's better if you ask Mr. Gu yourself when you see him later."

Kerr did not tell Nicole where he was going. Jared did not think it was appropriate for him to tell Nicole.

"Is he hiding another woman up in the mountains?"

Nicole was speculating, but at the same time, she could not help feeling sad.

If that was the case, Nicole hurrying there to see Kerr with another woman would be the biggest joke of all. However, she was still extremely worried. All she wanted was to see Kerr safe and sound.

"No, of course not, Director Ning. How can you think of Mr. Gu like that? He's doing everything for you!"

Jared felt compelled to defend Kerr from Nicole's baseless conjectures, but he soon realized that he had just exposed Kerr's secret.

"Doing everything for me? What does that mean? Tell me, Jared Kang!"

Stubbornness and seriousness now took jealousy's place on Nicole's face.

Jared looked at Nicole through the rear-view mirror and sighed. The cat's out of the bag now. He had to tell her the truth.

"Here's the thing. There's an undeveloped area up in the mountains with good environment. Mr. Gu planned to develop the area and give it to you as a gift. He let Mr. Qin supervise the project.

Construction has been tricky because of the site's terrain. There has been an accident. The media rushed there after finding out about the situation. Mr. Qin was afraid that it would affect the Gu Group, so he told Mr. Gu.
