Chapter 120 Be Responsible For His Deeds

"What's up, Jay?"

Kerr sat next to Jay, but he thought about Nicole. He wondered what she and Baron could possibly be
talking about.

Seeing that Kerr's mind was somewhere else, Jay spoke.

"You should give Mommy a little more time to say goodbye to Uncle Fang. Mommy told me that she
had a difficult time giving birth to me. Uncle Fang helped her through that dangerous time. I wouldn't be
here if it weren't for him.

That's why Mommy owes Uncle Fang a lot, but that's all she feels for him. She doesn't like Uncle Fang
the way she likes you."

The truth was that Nicole never really told Jay any of this. He just overheard Nicole and Baron talking
one time. Jay simply wanted to assure Kerr and hoped Kerr would cherish his mother.

"Your teacher told me that you're very talented with computers and that you're building a system on
your own."

Kerr glanced at Jay's laptop screen. He had heard of the boy's extraordinary technical talent, and
looking at his computer now, he saw him in a new light.

He was surprised to hear about the circumstances with which Nicole gave birth to Jay, and with that,
Kerr felt even more determined to protect them for the rest of their lives.

He would keep that in mind.

"I knew the teacher would tell on me,"



Jay said and closed his laptop.

His tone was still childish, but he was angry. He had accidentally exposed his skills once and caught
his teacher's attention.

But he knew it was inevitable that he would expose himself. After all, the teachers who were capable of
working in such a special school must be intelligent too.

"Nicole must not know these things about you. You sent me that encrypted email, and you're the one
who messed with the Gu Group's system that one time," Kerr said with confidence.

It was just a guess, but the surprised expression on Jay's face gave him away. He might be clever, but
he was still a child who did not know how to hide his emotions.

"If you hadn't bullied my mommy and made her sad, I wouldn't have messed with your system. The
email was your reward because you were preparing a surprise for her. She would feel guilty if she saw
that news."

Jay did not deny it because his mother taught him to be responsible for his deeds.

Besides, he did not think he did anything wrong.

"Then why did you tamper with the cooperation case between the Fang Group and the Chen Group?"

Kerr had known all this for a long time. Over time, he had realized that there was someone secretly
protecting Nicole, and Jay was the only person possibly responsible.

He had just never suspected Jay because he was just a boy, but hearing him out now, Kerr was sure it
had been him who had been guarding Nicole.

"How did you know about that?"



Jay looked at Kerr in disbelief. Kerr just waited for his answer.

"Fine. I did it because Uncle Fang's mom said I was an illegitimate child. I just punished her a little."

Jay lowered his head and stared at his hands.

When he was younger, Jay had heard whispers of people calling him a bastard. He found out what that
word meant, and it hurt him deeply.

"Are you going to tell Mommy? I know what I did was wrong. Mommy will definitely think that I'm
ungrateful toward Uncle Fang."

Jay just did not want Nicole to be bothered when she found out.

Looking at Jay's remorseful face, Kerr's heart sank. He did not reply.

Kerr kept silent for a long time, so Jay put his laptop away and climbed on Kerr's lap. He put his little
arms around his neck.

"I know you care about my mommy, and you don't want her to worry. Please don't tell on me."

Jay now had an innocent look on his face, quite unlike the calm and cool boy a minute ago.

He only acted like a spoiled brat around Kerr and Nicole.

"I will protect you and your mom from now on. No one will ever call you a bastard or an illegitimate child
again."

Kerr held Jay in his arms and stroked his hair.

At the Gu family's old house, Jack sat behind his desk with a dignified but angry look on his face.



He stared at the material he had collected.

Jack knew that Nicole didn't have a rich background, but he did not expect that she was an orphan. Her
family background horribly paled in comparison with that of the Gu family. She could not possibly help
Kerr's future.

He would never allow her to end up with Kerr.

"My Lord, this is the photo of Nicole Ning and her son Jay Ning."

Kelvin Gu set the photo on Jack's desk and watched him carefully.

He had lived with Jack for more than thirty years, so he knew well about Jack's temper. This time, Kerr
had really pissed his father off.

Jack picked up the photo and looked at Nicole's lovely face. A familiar warmth spread across his chest.
Nicole reminded him of a girl from more than twenty years ago.

"Is this woman still in the Gu Group?"

He would not allow Kerr to have his woman in the company, nor would he allow Kerr to concentrate on
a woman. Gu leaders, on their way to greatness, could not afford distractions.

"Yes. She's the director of the project department. She's quite excellent. The young master gave the
Gu Group bidding project to her, and she did a great job at the bidding yesterday," Kelvin told Jack.

He saw how good Nicole was with the project she was in charge of. She did not seem to be a newbie
who just got off school.

"Are you serious? Kerr assigned an important project to that woman? He doesn't even know about her
background!"



Jack slammed his hand on the desk, anger and disappointment mingling in his face. He knew that Kerr
had a little crush on Nicole, but he did not expect it to be serious.

Nicole was the reason why Kerr suddenly called off his engagement. Jack would never let Kerr make
such a big mistake and let him pour his heart and soul into this woman.

Since Kerr was a child, he had been training him to take up his mantle one day as the leader of the Gu
family. He was very disappointed with Kerr's current performance.
