The balloon stopped just above Nicole and Kerr.
Bang! In a flash, the balloon exploded.
Kerr raised his hand and shielded Nicole‘s head.
However, nothing came out of the balloon but innumerable colorful ribbons, which scattered over Kerr and Nicole.
Additionally, there was a card hanging from a small balloon.
Kerr stretched his arm and grabbed the card. The message on the card was, "Congratulations on your wedding!"
The handwriting was handsome.
Kerr recognized Jay‘s signature immediately, and he handed it to Nicole.
"It's Jay."
Nicole delightedly took the card and read it. Smiling, she was already deciding upon an answer in her mind.
"You all knew about this already, didn't you! You were just hiding it from me." Nicole pouted at Kerr.
Kerr put his arm around her shoulder and smirked, "How else could it be a surprise?" Kerr turned around and was about to take Nicole to the lounge, but he saw a man walking towards them.
"Congratulations, Mr. Gu!" Jeremy smiled at Kerr and turned his eyes to Nicole. "Congratulations, Director Ning. Oh, I'm sorry. I should have said Mrs. Gu."
Nicole sensed the irony in his words. She frowned slightly and joylessly. As a partner of the Gu Group, Jeremy should have been invited to the wedding.
But Nicole never felt comfortable in Jeremy's presence. Her instinct always told her that Jeremy had ulterior motives.
"Thank you, Mr. Chu."
She didn't want to talk too much with him. Holding Kerr's hand, she wanted to leave as soon as possible. She knew that all the guests there had attended for the sake of the Gu family and the He family, and served only those families' interests.
None of those people really belonged at their wedding.
Jeremy stepped forward, looked Kerr straight in the eye, and said, "Mr. Gu, I want to discuss a business matter with you in detail. Do you have some time?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chu. This is my wedding, it's not a time for business. Let's talk about it later at the company."
Kerr was sensitive to the fact that Nicole didn’t like Jeremy, so he intended to leave with her.
But Jeremy had come prepared.
"Mr. Gu, aren't you curious about the news I bring you?" Jeremy failed to stop Kerr from walking away, but there was an implicit meaning in his words. "If you don't seize this opportunity, I think Mr. Moore Gu will be interested in it."
What Jeremy really wanted to know was whether Kerr or Moore would be the next leader of the Gu Group.
It had been widely reported that although Kerr was the Gu family's heir by blood, his power had been weakened little by little, while Moore was currently rising in strength and power.
With a mocking grin on his face, Kerr said, "Mr. Chu, I don't want to do business with you if you can’t even make a decision on your own."
More than anything in the world, he hated to be threatened.
After that, Kerr took Nicole's hand and walked out of the church.
Seeing that Nicole was falling to the ground, Kerr lifted her up and held her in his arms. "Nicole!" he called softly, but his voice didn't wake her up.
"Harley!" shouted Kerr.
Harley was standing inside the church and chatting with Ken. He sensed something wrong when he heard the sound at the door, so he rushed to the door. When he saw that Nicole had passed out, he was shocked.
"What happened?" asked Harley.
"She was traumatized by what she saw." Kerr‘s tone was cold, and he felt that there was something sticky on his hands while holding Nicole's legs.
Kerr looked down and found that the white hemline of Nicole’s wedding dress had turned red.
"Take her to the hospital!" seeing the blood on her clothes, Harley shouted.
Jared dropped the gift box, opened the door and got into the driver's seat.
When the crowd inside heard the noise, they rushed out of the hall, just in time to see that Kerr was carrying Nicole into the car. Harley followed them and left.
They were all confused. "What happened? They seemed fine just a moment ago!" Avery murmured to herself, confused.
Zachary took a quick glance at the box on the ground and saw a dark red liquid flowing from the bright red box. In a split second, he knew that something was wrong.
"What's that?" Seeing the box on the ground, Bonnie walked over to take a look.
Avery's curiosity was also triggered. She was about to follow Bonnie, but Zachary pulled her arm. Before she could say anything, Zachary raised his hand and covered her eyes.
