The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 160

There weren't any changes in Nicole's expression after what Avery said. Retrieving the documents from her friend's hand, Nicole looked at them and took a deep breath.

"Let's go find Baron," Nicole said decisively.

Avery nodded in response and followed Nicole out of the villa.

Once they got to the coffee shop, Nicole picked up a spoon and stirred her coffee gently despite the concerned look on her face.

"Nicole, what are you going to do? I think... Well, you're in a serious relationship with Kerr, right? If this is true, then you..."

Avery wanted to be careful with her words. She realized how upset her friend must be at the moment, but sooner or later, Nicole would have to face the reality of the facts.

"I'm not sure yet. It's not as simple as it looks. Whether it's true or not, the only thing I know now is that someone intentionally used this information to create a conflict between Kerr and me, hoping that I would leave him as soon as possible."

Nicole thought it over and came to the conclusion that the timing this dossier got into her hands was too convenient. Despite her initial suspicions, she worked with Kerr long enough to know how he managed his business.

Also, there had never been any animosity between her family and his. Therefore, as much as the news was shocking to her, she didn't see a reason for Kerr to deliberately harm the Ning Group like those documents suggested. Instead, she chose to believe him.

"You are right. Otherwise, this kind of information wouldn't have come out of thin air just now. But why are you still here looking for Baron then?"

Avery assumed Nicole had come to Baron to check the content she had received, but if Nicole chose to believe Kerr, then why were they here?

She couldn't understand.

Nicole put down the spoon and met Avery's gaze.

"I realize you don't understand it, but I know that regardless of the source of this information, someone out there knows I was investigating my family's bankruptcy and has what I need.

So if I want to get to the bottom of this, I have to know exactly what happened in the past."

Nicole's tone was sober even under these circumstances. Perhaps due to Kerr's love for her, she felt safe and could easily believe him no matter what.

With a faint smile on her lips, she couldn't help remembering the earnest look Kerr usually wore in his face.

Avery admired Nicole even more for her happiness.

After a while, Baron finally walked past the coffee shop door.

When he saw Nicole's smile, he felt happy for her but also upset for himself.

"Hi, Nicole. Miss Lin."

Baron greeted them both with a polished grin before taking the seat opposite to Nicole.

"So what's up? I heard about the Gu Group's celebration party. I was worried that you might not get used to the life of an unemployed. But as it seems I was wrong. Obviously, you're now happier than ever."

The news about Nicole's dismissal on the party spread fast. But only the people present knew about what went down with Jay and his paternity issue.

"Don't make fun of me. How could you know what I feel like? But that's not what I'm here to discuss. Actually, there is something I want to ask you about."
