Chapter 116 The Reward For You

"Tell me what you know," Nicole said.

Avery came to the hospital early in the morning to inform Nicole about what she had found out, but she
did not expect that she had not yet recovered.

Nicole was excited. Except for Jay's matter, this was her biggest concern.

"The Ning Group had cooperated with the Gu Group before, but rumor has it that the Gu Group
withdrew capital at the last signature.

No agreement has been reached, but your father had put a lot of effort on it. With the withdrawal of the
Gu Group, all the previous preparations of the Ning Group ended up in vain.

It's just a rumor, which we have no way of confirming. Now that you and Kerr are together, maybe you
could ask him. Maybe he knows the whole story."

As soon as her suggestion came out, Avery regretted it. Nicole and Kerr had just fallen in love.

If the Gu Group really bankrupted the Ning Group and Kerr knew about it, Nicole would be caught in a
dilemma.

"Nicole... Maybe it's all just a rumor."

Nicole's heart sank. She fell silent for a long time.

"After I leave here, I will check it out myself. Don't tell anyone about this. Thank you, Avery."

Rumors were not enough for Nicole to resent Kerr. Until she found out the truth, she would give him the
benefit of the doubt.

She wanted evidence.



"Don't mention it."

Avery smiled at Nicole.

Outside the ward, Ken was talking to Kerr.

"You see, all the reports that the media was going to release were wiped out. Apparently, somebody
hacked their website and blocked the for-release content. It happened last night."

Ken handed Kerr his laptop. He still could not get over what just happened.

He had planned to block the stories from being released, but someone beat him to it.

"It wasn't you? Whoever did this was good," Harley commented.

He may not be as good with computers as Ken, but he was skilled enough to tell that whoever hacked
the entertainment website did a professional-grade job.

"Mr. Gu, you have a new email, but it's password protected."

Jared handed the computer to Kerr, his eyes fixed on the screen.

"I'll crack it," Ken said.

It had been a long time since Ken met such a formidable computer wizard. He figured he would spar
with him.

A minute later, Ken deciphered the password and opened the email. There was only one sentence on
it.

"This is your reward."



Kerr, Ken, Harley, and Jared stared at the message.

"Who could've done this? Did you get another expert?" Ken asked Kerr.

He did not know that Kerr hid such gifted technical support in his payroll, someone who had just helped
him delete almost an entire entertainment website.

"I don't know, and no, I didn't get another expert."

Kerr thought of the person who once messed with the Gu Group's protective system and inexplicably
felt that the same person did this.

Although Kerr did not know who that person was, his intuition told him that he or she was more of a
friend than an enemy.

"Let me check the IP address."

Ken searched but came up empty.

"This guy's too smart to leave his IP address lying around for you to find, Ken," Harley laughed.

Ken's face darkened.

"We've dodged a crisis this time. I've sent Kim to get the media people trapped in the mountains, but
this matter has not been properly handled," Kerr stated.

"What are you going to do?"

Ken knew this mess would not be easy to fix.

"The Gu Group will take responsibility."



Although everyone thought that his choice might cause damage to the Gu Group, Kerr had made up
his mind. He would not let Nicole be exposed to the public.

It would only put her in more danger than she already was.

Kerr did not care if people profited from his misfortune as long as Nicole stayed out of it.

"I got it."

As Kerr's assistant for so many years, of course Jared knew what he meant and what he was going to
do for Nicole.

Ken glanced at Harley and said nothing.

"We can't let anyone else know about this, do you understand?"

After sweeping his gaze through Ken, Harley, and Jared, Kerr turned around and walked back to the
ward.

"I don't know that man anymore," Harley said.

He was still not accustomed to the change in Kerr's attitude since he came back.

"You will get used to it."

Ken closed his laptop, got up, and left. He had been up in the mountains because of Kerr and had not
seen his woman for several days.

Harrow walked to Harley.

"Master... Yesterday..."



Harley raised his hand and stroked Harrow's short hair. Although Harrow was a man, Harley liked his
soft and smooth hair.

"Master, are you going to date Miss Avery Lin?"

"Of course not. I have an appointment with my beloved woman today. I have to go now. I'm going to be
late."

After checking his watch, Harley turned around and walked out of the hospital.

Looking at Harley's receding figure, Harrow felt slightly relieved. He should have told Harley something,
but he did not say it.

Kerr was back at the ward.

"I should go. Kerr is back. Call me if anything happens, will you?"

Avery stood up and bid Nicole goodbye.

She nodded slightly at Kerr on her way out.

"Take good care of her and maybe she'll surprise you with something."

There was a hint of slyness in Avery's eyes.

Kerr simply smiled and nodded. He walked to Nicole and felt her forehead. Her temperature had finally
returned to normal.

He sighed with relief and sat beside her.

"Have you resolved the issue at the site?"



Nicole asked Kerr, looking gently into his eyes.

She had not forgotten what Jared said last night. A matter that could attract so much attention from
Kerr could not easily be solved.

And it involved her, although not directly, so she had to know more about it.
