The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 127

"How generous! I need three days to get my affairs in order. I don't want to do things sloppily."

Jared's eyes widened in surprise as he heard Nicole's words from the recorder, and he looked at Kerr. But Kerr remained calm, as if what Nicole had said didn't matter to him at all.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Ning..."

"How are constructions of the Sea Heart Island progressing?"

Kerr glanced down at the documents in his hand.

"The development is ongoing, and it will take some time."

Jared stared at Kerr in confusion.

"Mr. Gu, do you believe the recording to be fake?"

"It's true. It is Nicole's voice. We need to speed up the construction of the Sea Heart Island, and strengthen security around Jay."

Kerr knew Nicole well. She must have her reasons. No wonder she suddenly came to him. It seemed that she had gradually begun to see him as someone she could depend on.

'Three days?' It seemed that he would have to cherish the sweetness that Nicole gave him as there were only three days left.

A slight smile tugged at the corners of Kerr's mouth, confusing Jared. Instead of becoming vexed by what Nicole had said, Kerr seemed almost happy, which was illogical.

But Jared didn't dare to question any further, so he had to resolve matters according to Kerr's orders.

Nicole didn't know where to go while she was driving the car. She couldn't reveal any of this matter to Avery or Baron. She couldn't bring the power of the Gu family down on them, and neither the Lin family nor the Fang family could oppose them.

While she was considering this, Nicole's phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and saw it was a call from Avery. She immediately answered it.

"Avery."

When Avery heard Nicole's voice, she seemed to have found someone she could vent her spleen on.

"Nicole, are you in the hospital? I'll come to you. I can't carry on like this."

Avery slammed the door shut while she held the phone tightly in her hand. Her anger was obviously detected from her tone.

Even though Nicole could only hear her over the phone, she could hear her impatience, and she couldn't help shaking her head.

"I'll come pick you up. I'm not far from your home now. Wait for me there."

"Okay."

After hearing Nicole's offer, Avery agreed and hung up the call. She turned back to look at the villa behind her and glanced up at the window on the second floor. She could no longer see the man.

It was sunny outside, but she stubbornly refused to look back. Instead, she squatted on the steps leading up to the villa, waiting for Nicole.

Fortunately, only ten minutes later, Nicole's car pulled up at the door of the Lin family's villa.

"Finally, you are here! If you didn't arrive now, I would have contracted sunstroke!"

Avery quickly opened the passenger door and immediately got in.

"Why didn't you wait for me inside your home? So, where do you want to go?"

Nicole started the car again and started driving.

"Anywhere but here is fine. I don't want to go back home anyway!"

leaning back against the car seat, Avery replied in an impatient tone.
