Putting down his teacup, Daniel turned his head toward Sunny and waited for her response.
Facing Sunny now, Daniel could not help feeling somewhat guilty. He was not exactly all that great a father to Sunny while she was growing up, and that was one of the reasons why Sunny lacked care and love from family. In Daniel's unwillingness to have just one daughter, he neglected the child he did have.
"I hope to get some evidence to attribute the Ning Group's downfall to the Gu Group. Better if it could be attributed to Kerr directly."
This was not a bad thing for her father and she knew that her father would agree with this.
"Why did you suddenly want to do that? Because Kerr embarrassed you last time? Jack Gu promised me that your marriage to Kerr will not be affected."
What happened that day indeed embarrassed both Sunny and Daniel, but since Jack had expressed his position, Daniel could not say anything more.
Sunny liked Kerr, and it was imperative to forge an alliance between the He Group and the Gu Group through marriage.
"I have my own reasons, Father. Will you help me or not?"
With an anxious look on Sunny's face, she held Daniel's arm and begged like a spoiled girl.
This was important to her.
"You are my daughter. Of course I will help you, but you have to be more careful. Don't let this matter affect the He Group, got it?" Daniel exhorted Sunny.
Though Sunny had never done anything excessive, in business, she was still inept. Daniel could not help worrying about her.
"Of course. I will leave now."
Hearing her father's answer, Sunny stood up with a smile and started heading out.
"You naughty girl!"
Watching Sunny walk away, Daniel sighed helplessly. Although he had always doted on her, because of her mother, Sunny had borne a grudge against him. He knew that better than anyone else.
At the hospital, Kerr was still watching Nicole from the surveillance video.
When he saw that Nicole was almost done eating, he stood up and walked toward her ward.
Nicole was beaming with a content smile after downing a whole can of nutritious soup. Before she could swallow her last mouthful, the door swung open.
"Ahem!"
Startled, Nicole choked and coughed violently.
Jay immediately reached out his little hand and gently patted Nicole's back to soothe her.
"You scared Mommy, Uncle Kerr," Jay said with a hint of complaint in his voice.
Kerr went straight to Nicole, stroked her back gently and handed her a tissue.
"Are you a child? How can you choke on soup?"
There was no trace of blame in Kerr's voice. He was teasing Nicole.
"I didn't eat the soup. It's smelly."
Nicole blushed and turned her head to avoid eye contact with Kerr.
"Yeah. I ate it all, Uncle Kerr. Mommy didn't eat anything," Jay interjected.
