The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 264

As a matter of fact, Kelvin's appearance was a threat to Nicole.

"Harley, I have some business out tomorrow, so you have to keep an eye on Jay and keep him safe," Kerr said. Deep inside, he felt worried and restless the moment he knew that Kelvin was targeting Jay as well.

"Ah, one more thing, don't let Nicole know about any of this. She's pregnant, so we can't worry her too much," he added to Harley with a serious face.

Although he was worried about Nicole and Jay and wanted to be with them all the time to protect them himself, Kerr still had an important meeting with Ben Xue that was already arranged in advance, so he could not just put it off that easy. He then had no choice but to rely on Harley at these pressing times.

"Don't worry. I got this. I know what to do," Harley replied and gave Kerr a reassuring nod. He also guessed why Kerr came here, so he asked to confirm, "Have you decided to cooperate with the Xue family? Are you prepared?"

Kerr sighed and shook his head slightly. "Well, I have no choice but to give it a shot. I'm no longer in the Gu Group now, so I don't have to work my ass off for them. However, the Ning Group is still not powerful enough to take on such a big project, so we'll see."

He heaved another sigh as he thought about all this with a clear mind. Then, he thought of Zachary. Tomorrow was supposed to be the scheduled date of Zachary and Avery's wedding, but there was still no news about his wedding up to now.

"What about Zachary? Is there any news about him now?" Kerr asked Harley calmly.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot to tell you, but I received the news this morning that Zachary had canceled the wedding and left A City. That's all to find out about him as of the moment," Harley replied. When he got the news earlier that day, Harley was very surprised. He thought that Zachary would be determined to marry Avery.

Moreover, the news had spread all over the city now, so whether or not Avery had been told personally by Zachary, she would have already known by now.

As for Kerr, hearing this wasn't surprising for him at all. Although he didn't know the exact reason behind the calling off of the wedding, he realized that Zachary was still hesitant and decided to back out despite the blunt advice Kerr had been giving him.

Anyway, what Zachary decided to do wasn't for Kerr to intervene into, and now that Zachary was away, Kerr knew he had to rely on himself on this project for now.

"What about Moore? Have you heard anything about him and what he plans to do now?" Kerr asked. Even though he knew that Jay had already taken action, he still wasn't sure how Moore would react.

"As far as I have heard, he's doing fine. Ever since he took your place, he is slowly trying to eliminate all your remaining power in the Gu Group.

However, it looks like he will be having a difficult time doing so. Your men in the company can't be easily fooled by Moore," Harley replied with a smile.

For the past several years, Kerr was the one in charge and heading over the Gu Group. On the other hand, Moore had been staying abroad. Now, Moore had finally gotten what he desired and took the place of Kerr in the company, but he was not persuasive at all against the men who used to work for Kerr.

Hearing this, Kerr sneered as if he already expected this to happen. "Did he really think that he can replace me? When in fact, he doesn't deserve to step foot in the Gu Group in the first place." Although Kerr was itching to take actions against Moore, he knew better that this wasn't the right time yet. Not now when Jack saw Kerr as the antagonist.

Besides, Kerr wanted Jack to see for himself that Moore was nothing but an ambitious and vicious man, who would do anything to get what he wanted. At the same time, he wanted Jack to realize that Moore did not have the ability it took to run a company.

With a nod, Harley agreed to what Kerr said, and indeed, there was really no one in the world who could replace Kerr.

Harley relaxed and heaved a deep sigh under his breath. "Well, it seems like we still have a long way to go then."

He remarked and stood up to stretch his body.

Kerr took this as his sign to leave and walked towards the study of the suite. He smiled as soon as he saw his loved ones and felt all his exhaustion fade away. He walked towards Jay, who was staring at a design drawing of a robot on the desk. He picked up the drawing and looked at it. He nodded at how detailed the design was.

As a well-rounded man that he was, he could see the beauty and even the tiny mistakes clearly at a glance.

"Oh, you made a mistake in this place. You should not put them together in this way, because it won't work and look right," Kerr commented. He then put the drawing in front of Jay and pointed out the mistake he was referring to.

Listening to Kerr, Jay raised his head so he could see clearly and looked at Kerr seriously with an innocent face. As Kerr mentioned the mistake, Jay's eyebrows turned into a frown, and his eyes stared from Kerr's fingers to the area in the paper.
