The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 43

She still couldn't accept the fact that in just a matter of a few days, her life had become virtually unrecognizable from what it had been. Her father had died and the Ning Group had gone bankrupt. She went from being the eldest daughter of the owner of the Ning Group to being just another nameless orphan. Under such a heavy blow, she had accidentally fallen into the trap set by Gregory Song and Fiona Zhao.

Everything in this country was too painful for her to bear. She simply wanted to escape from all what was happening around her and pretend whatever that had occurred was nothing more than a bad dream.

"In Manhattan, I had tried multiple times to contact you, but you refused to answer my phone. Despite the tragic demise of our father, inside my heart, you are still my sister."

Nicole looked at Bonnie with guilt-ridden eyes.

"Sister? I don't think so! I still can't understand why my father favored you so much. Even before his death, you were being paid the money that he had secretly left you with.

Do you know what kind of life my mother and I have had? We are both daughters of the Ning family. Why was our father so unfair to me? You have never treated Mom and me as family. Otherwise, you wouldn't have left us alone."

Bonnie looked at her coldly as if the girl in front of her was no longer her sister whom she had relied on so much. She still remembered how her mother had hugged her and wept uncontrollably.

"I don't know about all these things. At that time, I received an offer in Manhattan, and I didn't know that my father had already paid the tuition for me. Bonnie, you are my sister. No earthly force can change that fact. That bond between us will remain alive forever."

She could understand her resent. Her father had always been nice to them since childhood. However, not long before her father's accident, he had suddenly lost his temper with Bonnie.

From that day onwards, it seemed that their father hadn't said a word to Bonnie until his death. However, Nicole couldn't have ever imagined her father arrange a school for her and at the same time, leave Bonnie empty-handed.

"Forget it. Seven years has passed since then, and we can still lead a happy life without you. I don't need any sister. Just tell Ken Qin, that bastard, that I won't let him go anytime soon."

Then, Bonnie turned around and trotted upstairs.

Nicole listened to her and felt puzzled. She didn't leave until Bonnie disappeared from her sight completely.

This made her heart sink. She fished out her phone from her bag and called Baron immediately.

"What's wrong? Miss Ning, why did you suddenly have to think of me?"

When he saw his phone screen brighten up by the name Nicole Ning, Baron felt delighted and smiled slightly.

"I may have to work overtime today. Can you help me and pick up Jay?"

Nicole requested calmly, trying to hide the tsunami of uneasy emotions that were running wildly inside her mind.

"That won't be a problem. I'll only be delighted to help you out. Call me once you are free. I'll pick you up at once."

Now, he obviously didn't mind helping Nicole take care of her son, which was far better than giving Kerr the chance to take care of them. Besides, he could have more time to get along with Jay and win the boy's heart.

"No, thanks. I'll drive. You don't need to pick me up. Bye."

Without giving him an opportunity to respond, she hung up the phone and drove towards the bar.

She was way too occupied in taking care of Jay in the past seven years. Hence, she had never indulged herself in drinking. But today, she really wanted to get drunk so that her chest would feel lighter after all the emotional toll she had to take.

She parked her car in front of the main door of the bar and walked in directly.

At the Gu Group, Kerr wanted to go look for Nicole with his mobile phone in his hand.

"Mr. Gu, Jeremy Chu, the CEO of the Chu Group, is waiting for you in the meeting room. We've already made an appointment,"
