"No matter what happens, I'll be with you."
Kerr knew what Nicole was thinking, so before she could say it, he made her a promise.
Despite everyone's intent to separate them, Kerr still wouldn't let go of Nicole's hand.
Nicole nodded, thinking that maybe she should let Kerr take the lead for her.
"I told you the truth, Mr. Gu. You must believe me. It's all this woman's fault. I'm going to divorce her as soon as I can!"
To make his point clear, Gregory unexpectedly pushed Fiona to the ground. And as if she meant nothing to him, he looked down at his embarrassed wife on the floor with his eyes full of contempt.
"Ah!"
Pale, Fiona screamed in pain. Due to the fall, her high heels caused her to sprain an ankle.
"I must have been blind when I married you, Gregory. How many times have you asked me to go to bed with a potential investor to the Song Group? Or sent me to have drinks with them whenever you needed a project? But now that the company is shut down and you don't need me anymore, you decide to ditch me like this?
Don't you have a conscience?"
Fiona's voice was filled with sorrow as she pointed at Gregory.
Nicole sighed in silence while watching the scene. It was Gregory and Fiona's own fault that they had come this low. Nicole was no saint and had no intention of forgiving those who had hurt her.
Especially because they almost hurt Jay in the process of getting to her. For this alone, she would never forgive them.
"Jared, take them out. I don't want to see these two ever again unless they decide to tell me what I want to know. Then I might change my mind."
People like Gregory Song weren't worth a second of Kerr's time and attention.
"Yes, Master. I understand."
Jared walked to Gregory. But before he could show him and Fiona their way out, Kerr spoke again.
"Today, I'll let everyone know that Jay is my son. If anyone dares to look at him or Nicole cross-eyed, I'll show them no mercy."
For many years, Kerr hadn't shown such a ruthless side of him, but people knew better than to lay a hand on whoever he had taken under his wings.
Yet now, in front of everyone, Kerr wanted to assert that he wouldn't tolerate any offense concerning Nicole and Jay.
Kerr's words, of course, had made Gregory immediately restless. He knew how vicious the other man could be.
"Mr. Gu, I'm telling you the truth. Please, let me go. I won't do it again. Please, help me, Nicole, for the sake of our past relationship!"
Hoping that Nicole would plead for him, Gregory took a step forward and attempted to get near her and Kerr. But Jared was quicker to hold him still.
Nicole could only feel embarrassed for Gregory. She never expected he would be so shameless to the point of begging her for forgiveness just a few minutes after he slandered her so determinedly.
She didn't bother to acknowledge him, though. This kind of person wasn't worthy of her thoughts, even less of her words.
"How dare you call her Nicole?"
