Chapter 213 Confrontation

"If they go down this route, Kerr will have the full support of He Group. As far as I can see, it would be
the answer to all of Gu Group's problems," Freya said firmly.

She knew that Jack was dissatisfied with Kerr because he had chosen to be with Nicole. But as long as
Kerr left Nicole and fulfilled his engagement to Sunny, everything would work out fine.

And Moore would be out of the picture.

"That sounds great. You can go discuss the details with the He family. They'd better settle their
relationship as soon as possible, just in case anything happens."

Jack too hoped that Gu Group and He Group could be united by marriage. By joining the two together,
Gu Group would definitely become more powerful.

Freya nodded and looked at Moore, who had a wide smile on his face. "You don't need to worry about
Gu Group's affairs when Kerr is there. Once your brother gets married, you'll be able to go back to
where you're supposed to be."

The truth was, she didn't want Moore to stick around at all. From the moment she first set eyes on him,
she sensed what his game truly was. He wanted to take over the company and replace Kerr.

"Well, then I'm happy to hear it. I really hope they'll get married as soon as possible."

Still smiling, Moore glanced over at Freya. He hadn't missed note of the warning in her words. Right
now, though, he looked forward to the day when Kerr and Sunny would be married.

With one last look at Moore, Freya turned and left the study.

At the hotel, after freshening up a little, Sunny asked the driver to bring her clothes. She smiled at her
reflection in the mirror, her fingers pulling softly at the unmistakable hickey on her neck. After several



attempts at choosing the perfect outfit, she settled for a dress with a low, revealing neckline.

She had no intention of covering it up.

She was pretty pleased with what Kerr had done. Picking up Kerr's phone, Sunny swished past the
doorman and out of the hotel.

"Am I taking you home now, Miss?" The driver was sitting behind the wheel and glancing at her smiling
face in his rear-view mirror as he asked the question.

Sunny shook her head before she replied, "No, you're not. Take me to Gu Group, please."

She lowered her head, focusing on the phone in her hand. The corners of her mouth raised into a slow
smile. The display showed more than a dozen missed calls. Sunny could just imagine how anxious
Nicole must have been last night.

It would be better for Nicole to find out what was going on. Then she would leave Kerr as soon as
possible, saving Sunny a lot of trouble. After all, if Nicole stayed with Kerr, Sunny wouldn't care in the
least about getting rid of her.

In the past, back before Sunny had slept with Kerr, she hadn't had any strong feelings of hatred toward
Nicole. But now that she was Kerr's woman, she needed to be the only woman in his heart.

The sleek car pulled up smoothly in front of Gu Group's headquarters. Sunny made a hasty beeline for
Kerr's office, only to be stopped in her tracks by the receptionist.

"Ah, pardon me, Miss He. Do you have an appointment?"

The receptionist recognized Sunny, and she remembered that Kerr had fired the woman. She also
knew she had to respect Sunny because of who she was.



As a receptionist, she worked for Kerr, though, and if she wasn't going to upset her boss, she needed
to do her job.

Sunny let the receptionist's words wash over her, stopping and smiling politely. She was in a good
mood today and she didn't want an argument with this lowly employee. "Tell Jared that Kerr left his
phone at my place last night. I'm just here to give it back."

Her voice was matter-of-fact. She wanted the whole world to know that Kerr had spent the night with
her yesterday. Her head was held high, mostly so that everyone could take in the proud red mark on
her neck. Any adult would immediately understand its significance.

The receptionist bit her lip. She didn't dare to snub Sunny. Instead, she turned right away to call Jared
and repeat the woman's words to him.

In the office, Jared gripped the phone tightly. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He looked at
Nicole, who was sitting on the sofa, and then at Kerr. He felt a creeping blush that made his face burn.
What was he going to say?

"Miss He is here. She said..."

"Ask her to leave, please." Kerr interrupted Jared before he had even finished his sentence. He'd
turned the woman away without even looking up.

Nicole, however, raised her head and frowned at Jared at the mere mention of Sunny's name. She
couldn't help it. There might be many people in the world called Miss He, but there was only one who
made her temples throb with pain.

"What did she say?"



Nicole was curious about what business Sunny had with Kerr. She had a very bad feeling about it. It
could have been down to the pregnancy hormones making her crazy, but she'd certainly been feeling
increasingly paranoid recently.

Jared took in Nicole's words and felt his embarrassment deepen. He didn't dare to open his mouth and
come up with a response.

Noticing that Jared hadn't replied, Kerr finally raised his head and looked at the man. "Go ahead. Tell
her."

He didn't really care what Sunny had said. Kerr didn't think there was anything to hide from Nicole.

Despite the calm look on his boss's face, Jared took a deep breath before he replied, "Miss He said
that you left your phone at her place. She's come here to give it back to you."

Jared had edited Sunny's words a little, but what he said still sounded suspicious.

Predictably, when Nicole registered what Jared had said, the expression on her face changed. She
stared at Kerr with obvious doubt in her eyes.

Kerr frowned. It was true that he'd had a drink last night and he'd been with her for a while. During that
time, he must have dropped his phone somehow.

"Ask her to leave the phone here." Kerr didn't want to see Sunny. He was pretty sure Nicole didn't want
to see her either.

Jared nodded and turned, ready to make his way downstairs and collect Kerr's phone for him. Just as
he reached the office doorway, Nicole's voice rang in his ears.



"Let her in." Kerr was clearly trying to avoid something, Nicole realized. It made her very curious. What
on earth could have happened to make Kerr leave his phone at Sunny's place?

It couldn't be what she thought it was. At least, she hoped not.

Jared hesitated at the door. He opened and closed his mouth, trying to find the words to ask Kerr, but
before he managed it, his boss stated clearly, "Do what she said."

If it meant putting Nicole's mind at rest, then Kerr would be fine with confronting Sunny. It wasn't as if
he'd had an affair with the woman, after all.

He could face Sunny with a clear conscience.

Nicole narrowed her eyes at Kerr but it really seemed like he didn't care at all. She rose from the sofa,
strode over to him and pinched his ear.

"Why exactly was your phone at her place?"

Nicole was slightly shocked at her own reaction. She sounded so mean all of a sudden. But she didn't
want Kerr to have a relationship with another woman. She had never realized before that she could feel
so possessive.

The truth was that now she wanted Kerr all to herself.
