"Mrs. Gu, I suppose you have something to tell me."
Sitting opposite to Freya, Nicole had probably guessed what she wanted.
"Leave Kerr. Just tell me what you want. Money? A comfortable future for yourself? Name your price."
Freya looked at Nicole sharply and disdainfully. She didn't have the time to beat around the bush with Nicole anymore. Instead, she went straight to the point.
Now that Jack had brought Moore back, it was obvious that she couldn't take his threat lightly. Therefore, Freya wouldn't allow Kerr to jeopardize his opportunity to inherit the Gu Group because of Nicole.
"If this is what you think of me, then please forgive me for my next words. They won't be polite."
Nicole wasn't surprised at Freya's proposition. In fact, she had heard similar ones countless times before. It seemed that lately everyone wanted to tear her and Kerr apart as if their union was some kind of unforgivable sin.
As a matter of fact, they hadn't done anything wrong. But falling in love could also become a mistake in the eyes of these people.
"Kerr's your son, so I'd like you to answer me a question. How much money do you think Kerr's worth? Or what is that you want so much that could make you give up on your son?
You see, I'm also a mother. I know there's nothing out there that could make me give up my son. However, I would let go of him with no hesitation if it was what it would take for him to be happy.
I gave him life in the hope that he can have a happy upbringing. I don't want him to be my puppet, but to choose the life and the future he desires one day," Nicole said frankly.
She realized that no matter what she did or how she behaved, the Gu family would never recognize her and Jay, so there was no need to compromise.
"Miss Ning, there's more in this world than just happiness. People have their obligations, and we must learn how to properly choose.
You don't know what Kerr has done for you, do you? As you are aware, Kerr wanted you to have a stable home, so he has acquired a land of unique beauty, almost bucolic.
But what Miss Ning doesn't know is that there has been an accident during the first stage of the construction in that site. Many people died or ended up with injuries, which caused a great negative impact on the Gu Group. And Kerr took all the responsibility upon himself."
At the time, Freya didn't expect that Kerr would go to such lengths for Nicole's sake. Maybe she should have paid attention to her existence then, but it was too late for that now.
"Miss Ning, you should know what kind of impact this news will have on the Gu Group. Do you really have the heart to trade the amount of pain this will bring upon innocent lives for the so-called love between the two of you?
You may be young now and believe that love conquers all, but once you gradually come to the realization that love costs more than what you get in return, it will be too late to go back.
Kerr's destined to become the heir of the Gu Group. A man like him shouldn't get sidetracked by love."
Freya understood that if she wanted to convince Nicole to leave Kerr, she would have to go straight to her weakness. From what had happened at the party just now, she could tell that Nicole would know what to prioritize.
Nicole lowered her head, understanding the meaning behind Freya's words. Her main point was that if Kerr chose their love, he would lose the Gu Group.
