Chapter 179 Scaring Moore Away
"Moreover, you can't rest in peace as long as Master Kerr is at home. If Mrs. Gu and others come over, no one can stop them except you," Jared added. He was telling the truth with facts. The project was important, but it was far less important than Nicole's health.
Harley frowned and looked at Nicole. "Nicole, I know you want to help Kerr and save the Gu Group, but you shouldn't be pushing your luck. You don't want Kerr to wake up without seeing his baby, do you?"
For the time being, nothing was more important than the baby in Nicole's belly.
In the end, Nicole listened to their words and knew that her physical condition wasn't quite good. Therefore, she didn't insist anymore. She just nodded and asked Jared to bring all the documents to the villa.
She wanted to assist Kerr with her own ability.
"Miss Ning, Master Moore has come." In that moment, Vedder came in from outside. He had a worried look on his face as he looked at Nicole sitting on the sofa.
No one in the Gu family knew that Kerr was currently in a coma. Even Vedder didn't dare to tell Kelvin about it, but Moore was not that easy to fool.
"Okay. Let him in." Nicole knew that Moore was there to find the truth. Although they came back in such a high-profile, Kerr wasn't able to show up yet. Moore must already have suspected something.
Looking at the calm and unconcerned look of Nicole, Vedder began to admire her courage. No wonder Master Kerr would fall in love with her.
"Long time no see, Miss Ning. Mr. Su is here too." When Moore saw Harley, he pretended to be surprised. Then, he glanced around the living room but he didn't find Kerr.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"May I know what you are looking for, Mr. Gu? Is it about Kerr? Do you really believe that Kerr will want to see you?" Although wearing a smile on her face, Nicole still wanted to drive Moore out of the room. After all, the reason why Kerr was in such a bad condition was because of Moore.
Although Nicole hadn't found out any evidence, she was sure of it. After all, if Kerr died, Moore would benefit the most.
Moore smiled faintly as he heard the sarcasm in Nicole's voice. He sat on the sofa opposite to Nicole and looked at her up and down.
"Miss Ning, what makes you believe that I've come here for such reason? If I can recall it correctly, my elder brother hasn't married Miss Ning yet. I don't think it is appropriate for you to speak to me with that tone."
There was a clear sense of irony in Moore's eyes, and he didn't take the woman seriously. In his opinion, the reason why she appeared there was just to cover Kerr up.
But Moore still couldn't figure out what on earth Kerr wanted to do. It was so strange that Kerr hadn't shown up in the Gu Group even though he had been back for such a long time.
Nicole didn't look angry at all as she heard Moore's satire. In fact, she also knew that not just Moore, but the whole Gu family didn't take her seriously.
"Really, Mr. Moore Gu? But Kerr told me that I would be the only hostess of the Gu family. I can't remember that he ever mentioned something like other brothers or sisters from the Gu family. With that in mind, I'd like to know the identity of this Mr. Gu that is right in front of me.
So tell me, what are you really doing here? Kerr is sleeping right now. And honestly, I let you in because I truly care about the friendship between colleagues among the Gu Group. Don't you think it would be inappropriate to wait for Kerr to wake up, so he sees some uninvited guests afterwards?"
Nicole had no choice but to mention Kerr. After all, the truth was that Moore had come because he was afraid of what Kerr would do.
Looking at the calm expression on Nicole's face, Moore didn't see anything wrong but he didn't think the matter was so simple.
"Alright Miss Ning. Yes, I'm here for our CEO, Mr. Kerr Gu. The project I'm working on needs his approval, but Mr. Kerr has been absent for a week now. Is he not responsible for it?"
Moore wouldn't give up until Kerr showed up in front of him today.
When Nicole saw the determined look on Moore's face, she guessed that he seemed to know that Kerr wouldn't be in person. Therefore, he was trying to discover what had happened to him.
She smiled faintly. "I'll handle it." Nicole reached out for the folder on the tea table where Moore had put it on, but he grabbed it as soon as her fingers touched the edge of the file.
"Miss Ning, you are overestimating your position. It seems that you have forgotten that you are not officially a member of the Gu Group. Don't you know the concept called the business secret? If you cause any damage to the Gu Group, you would be in serious trouble."
In fact, it was unnecessary for Moore to present Kerr any documents. During his absence from the Gu Group, Moore had already named himself as the new CEO of the company.
"I understand. Wait a minute. I will ask for Kerr's opinion."
She stood up indifferently and went upstairs.
Watching what Nicole was doing, Jared couldn't help but worry about her. He wasn't sure how her actual condition would be able to handle this.
On the contrary, Harley thought there was nothing to worry about as he looked at the back of Nicole. She must have thought of a way to get rid of Moore. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so calm.
Moore frowned as he watched Nicole leaving. He didn't know what she was up to.
Suddenly, the sound of glass breaking came from upstairs. Obviously, someone broke a glass intentionally. Moore became nervous with his eyes fixed on the stairs.
According to what Moore had done recently, he felt that he created a personal battle between him and Kerr. And it was highly likely that Kerr would try to attack him in a sense. After thinking about it, Moore was about to stand up.
When Nicole appeared on the stairs, she smirked and said a few words to Moore as she saw him looking extremely nervous. "Kerr asked me to tell you that if you're here to explain the motives of what you've done lately, please go upstairs.
He also offered to arrange a place for you to stay if you have a lot of things to discuss with him."
Standing on the stairs, Nicole looked down at him with a serious and threatening expression in her eyes, and her words carried deep meanings.
Nicole meant that Moore would stay overnight. In that case, he would be grounded by his brother. Nevertheless, he wasn't that naive.
Moore responded to Nicole as he stood up. "It seems that Kerr has woken up from his sleep. If that's the case, then I won't disturb you now. Let's talk about the company affairs later." After that, Moore swiftly turned around and left the villa.
