"It was your fault, wasn't it? I didn't find her because you placed obstacles in my way."
Kerr's tone was calm, but the disappointed expression was hard to hide on his face.
"How dare you speak to me this way! Are you not aware of who you are talking to? I think you've forgotten the rules of Gu family."
Provoked by Kerr's tone, Jack's authority was challenged. His face contorted to one of intense anger.
"Which rule? The one where we aren't allowed to focus on only one woman? Is that the rule you're referring to?"
Ever since Kerr could remember, his father told him that he couldn't love a woman too much. Everything he did, he had to do it rationally, because he knew that in his father's eyes, love was useless, worthless.
From the moment he was born into the Gu family, he had not enjoyed the care of loving parents. He had never witnessed any affection between them, and even his mother did not care about the other women his father had outside their marriage.
In the eyes of the public, they were always a lovely couple, but in this place they called home, they were always cold towards each other.
"I have given you too much power, haven't I? Everything that you have is mine. I can take them all back."
Jack's anger increased tenfold as he looked at the obstinate expression of Kerr.
Hearing his father's words, Kerr just smiled and then turned to walk out of the house.
"Kerr!"
Sunny looked at Kerr's retreating back and tried to run after him. Before he got into his car, she ran to him and then hugged him from behind, tightly locking her arms around his waist.
"Kerr, I'm not asking you for anything. Please don't let me go. I love you. I've fallen in love with you since we were younger."
She didn't expect Kerr to be so firm with his decision. In fact, there was no other reason for her to love him. It was not only because he would inherit the Gu Group in the future, but also because she was very obsessed with this charming man.
But she never imagined that Kerr would go against his father for this.
Hearing what she said, Kerr sighed. He turned around and removed her hold from his torso. He looked at Sunny sternly, wanting to make himself crystal clear.
"Sunny, you should have your own life. You shouldn't just let them dictate how you should live it."
He had always believed that it was the wish of both their families that made her so persistent in sticking around him.
"No, it's not because they're pushing me to you. I love you, not just because you are the heir of Gu family."
She looked into his eyes, her face streaked with tears.
"If I lost everything from the Gu family, would you still love me as much as you do now?"
Kerr asked calmly, staring at her face.
Hearing this, Sunny was stunned for a moment.
Kerr being the heir of the Gu family was the precondition of her love for him. Would she be willing to marry him if he lost everything of the Gu family? She had never thought about it this way.
Deep down, she never really thought of the possibility that Kerr could lose everything.
Looking at the woman who was in a daze, Kerr smiled, got into his car and drove away, leaving the He family's daughter alone.
Suddenly, it began to rain.
