The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 188

Since Nicole hadn't seen Zachary for so many years, she was not surprised that he was not who he used to be.

However, at this moment, Zachary filled her with a strangely suspicious feeling, and she couldn't tell if Zachary was a friend or foe.

"Zachary, tell me how you know these things? And I do hope you can trust me with the truth, okay?"

She was exhausted by her efforts to protect Kerr and take care of the Gu Group. She had begun to realize that she might not able to bear it, and she no longer had the strength to cope with the constant suspicions.

Thinking of Kerr being at home, she felt a little eased.

Hearing Nicole's voice, Zachary knew that she was now as jittery as a frightened bird. With a faint smile on his face, he turned to look at her. "Don't worry. I'm not your enemy, and I have no intentions to steal anything from Kerr either.

There is something I want, but it doesn't make me your enemy. So, don't worry." After saying that, Zachary glanced at Lily, who was standing behind Nicole.

He bowed slightly and reached out his hand to Lily, asking, "Miss, may I dance with you?" Zachary's honeyed words were accompanied by a calm smile on his face.

His voice was gentle and pleasant toned, and Lily couldn't refuse. Lily looked at Nicole but saw she didn't object. So, she put her hand on Zachary's and was led to the dance floor by him.

Nicole studied Zachary thoughtfully and thought about what he had said just now. She couldn't help but feel confused. "Jared, did you find out who was behind the explosion when we were abroad?"

This was the first time for Nicole make enquiries into it. She had speculated that Moore was involved in it, but she hadn't found any evidence. Besides, since they returned, Nicole had been fully occupied with the business of the Gu Group.

So, she had no time to think about it. Originally, Nicole thought that they had blocked the news successfully, but now, she knew that, in fact, some people had already discovered what had happened.

She felt less sure about the chances that her plan would work now.

Jared walked closer to Nicole and whispered, "Miss Ning, we both know that Moore was responsible, but being ever devious, he left no clue, so I..."

Jared was like a dog with a bone, and he would never give up his investigation, but Moore was too cunning and had left not even a trace to tie him to what happened because the location of the accident wasn't an area within Kerr's power.

That was why the investigation was proving so difficult.

Nicole nodded. She knew of the difficulties that Jared faced, and she didn't blame him. "Keep an eye on Jeremy. I think something is going on." She didn't know whether it was just her imagination or not.

From the moment she saw Jeremy today, she had felt an obvious provocation in his eyes.

Hearing this, Jared looked across at Jeremy, who was gracefully moving on the dance floor and nodded. Then he followed behind Nicole.

Seeing the proud expression on Nicole's face, Sunny frowned slightly and stepped closer. As she was about to raise her hand to slap Nicole, Jared grabbed and restrained her by the wrist.

"Miss He, please restrain yourself!" Jared glowered at Sunny with a dark frown, tightening his grip on her wrist. Jared would never stand idly while Sunny hurt Nicole.

Noting the warning in Jared's eyes, Sunny angrily pulled back her hand. "Nicole, what makes you think you can hide Kerr's whereabouts? Don't think that you can have free rein in the Gu Group with Kerr's permissions."

When Sunny had discovered Nicole got into the Gu Group and had assumed Kerr's position, she had almost lost her self-control and wanted to take on Nicole directly. However, as time passed, Sunny had gradually simmered down, and she realized that she didn’t have any clue about where Kerr was now.

She couldn't act rashly. Her ultimate goal was now to find Kerr.

"You're really well-informed, Miss He. But if I remember correctly, you are not a member of the Gu Group any longer. So matters concerning the Gu Group have nothing to do with you, Miss He."

Nicole spoke in a wary and suspicious tone. How could Sunny have gotten the news so fast? Maybe she could find out who was informing Sunny?

When Sunny noted the arrogant look on Nicole's face, she felt infuriated. Suddenly, something occurred to her. Sunny smiled and said, "Well, I really admire your courage.

How can you face the enemy who killed your father so calmly? Miss Ning, you must have forgotten how the Ning Group went bankrupt. Did you forget how the former president of the group died in squalid misery?"
