The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 154

Freya strongly anticipated this to become the future of Nicole and Kerr. And she was in dire hope for this to happen. In other words, what she needed was that Kerr would realize early on that the so-called love was not so important.

Her marriage with Jack was a loveless one. It was nothing but a marriage to merely consolidate the power between the Gu family and the Qin family. And since they could tolerate living under the same roof, Freya naturally thought that love was indeed not significant.

Hearing Freya's words, Nicole felt sorry for her. She gently shook her head and couldn't even bring herself to explain it to Freya anymore. With her calm and composed demeanor, she just left the Gu family's old house directly.

On the second floor, Jack was sitting behind his desk in his study room while Moore sat opposite him. Kerr was standing near the French window, staring at the darkness outside.

"I've decided to let Moore enter the Gu Group and replace Nicole Ning to be the new director of the project department. The recent project got from the bidding will also be handed over to Moore as a transition for him.

After this project is finished, Moore would be the vice president of the company and will take over the Gu Group with you,"

Jack explained thoroughly and firmly. And it all sounded like he was only informing Kerr and not discussing the apparent changes to him. Even if Kerr was the CEO of the Gu Group and in charge of the company for many years, Jack remained to have shares of the Gu Group.

And he owned the most share, giving him a say in the company and using this advantage to control Kerr.

Moore let a sudden trace of feigned surprise appear on his face the moment he heard Jack's decision. Glancing at Jack across him, he reflectively said,

"Dad, I don't think it's a good idea. My elder brother has been managing the group all this time, and I'm not familiar with it. Forget it. He didn't make any mistakes before I came back. I don't think it's appropriate for me to get into the Gu Group all of a sudden."

Moore politely refused his father's proposal while observing Kerr's reaction from the corner of his eye. But to his dismay, Kerr still looked calm and relaxed, as if what Jack had said had nothing to do with him.

He was intensely annoyed within that he could only tightly clench his fist in anger. He just hated the way Kerr behaved. It seemed to him that he was not affected at all.

"You don't have to say that. No mistake? Well, do you really think I know nothing? Although I didn't make appearances at the company, I know what he did in the name of the Gu family. He almost ruined the reputation of the Gu Group for a woman.

I haven't held him accountable. It's a fair deal. If I don't show up in time, he'll change the Gu Group to the Ning Group sooner or later,"

Jack interjected, leaving Moore no chance to argue as his face turned grave. He seriously went on reminding Kerr.

"Is... Is there any misunderstanding? Brother, please explain to Dad,"

Moore abruptly shifted his gaze at Kerr and pleaded. And while still looking at Kerr apologetically, he tried not to let others notice that he was relishing over Kerr's misfortune at that moment.

And as if he was really waiting for Kerr's explanation, Jack didn't utter a word. He opted to remain silent instead.

Kerr, who busied himself staring at the darkness the whole time, slowly turned his back from the window and eased his way to the side of Jack. Kerr felt cold as he looked intently at this man, who was related to him by blood and yet seemed so unfamiliar to him. For a moment, he felt that he was the adopted child of the Gu family.

"Why don't you hand over the whole Gu Group to him?"

In the eyes of others, he would easily give up on Nicole because of the so-called family business. But since he perceived that she was the only one who could give him the warmth he longed for, he would surely not hesitate to protect this hard-won, real warmth.
