Chapter 242 Family Affairs
There wasn't a trace of displeasure on Moore’s face, and he turned his eyes to Freya with a smile. "Mrs. Freya Gu, you misunderstand me. In fact, I wanted my brother to marry the daughter of the He family as much as you do.
It's just a pity that that woman is not Miss Sunny He." As he spoke, Moore turned his head to the stage.
He was quietly delighted, as if he were enjoying a good show.
Freya was simply puzzled by Moore's statement. Looking at the woman whom Kerr was kissing on the stage, Freya had no idea what to think. But then she remembered how Kerr had been so cold towards Sunny in the past...
It seemed so strange that Kerr was so intimate with Sunny now. The two of them seemed so happy now. There wasn't even the trace of a shadow to cloud the happiness on Kerr's face.
Jack stood up and glared at Kerr with obvious anger.
Standing close to the stage, Harley noticed something was strange about Moore the moment he walked into the church. He always kept a close watch on the Gu family to prevent mishaps.
Seeing that Jack stood up, Harley approached him swiftly and said, "Congratulations, Uncle." Harley smiled and greeted Jack.
Jack's face did not soften at all. He demanded coldly and suspiciously, "Was this your plan? Harley, why should you get involved in another family's affairs?"
Jack‘s words were obviously intended as a warning. Although Jack knew that Harley had been with Kerr for many years, and that he was a reputable member of the Su family, Jack still regarded himself as Harley's senior.
For Harley to approach him like that was an affront to his dignity.
But Harley didn't really give a damn about what Jack thought. "You're right. The affairs of the Gu family are none of my business. It's just that these lovers have ended up together, and it's a beautiful thing.
What's more, if there is any mistake at this event, I'm afraid it won't be good for the Gu family's reputation. I hope you can think it through,"
Harley reminded him.

"Mr. Su, you are right, but the real bride's whereabouts is still unknown. We need to give an explanation to the He family. Should we end this farce?"
Standing by Jack's side, with an obvious sneer at the corners of his mouth, Moore looked at Harley, who was across from him.
His only reason for coming there was to ruin Kerr‘s wedding.
"I wonder if Mr. Jack Gu would agree to another marriage with the Lin family."
Zachary approached Jack quietly. His eyes were still focused on the stage, but he was speaking to Jack.
Jack frowned slightly at Zachary and glanced at him indifferently. Zachary’s face seemed vaguely familiar.
"Are you Zachary Lin?" Jack had already heard that the adopted son of the Lin family had just returned from abroad. He had never had the chance to meet him. As Zachary mentioned the Lin family, Jack was pretty sure that it was him.
Zachary nodded with a twinkle in his eyes. The ceremony on the stage had come to an end. He raised his hand and applauded, with all the other guests.
However, if anyone had observed Zachary more closely, they would have seen that Zachary wasn't looking at the married couple, but at the bridesmaid who was standing at the back of the stage behind Nicole.
Jack frowned, but said nothing.
On the stage
"From this day forth, you are my lawfully wedded wife. You will never slip away from me, Nicole." Kerr held her hand and looked at her tenderly.
She was in the palm of his hand, and he would never let her go.
Nicole smiled sweetly and purely. Even though it had been a bit challenging to reach this day, she knew that everything had been worth it when Kerr said "I do."
"I'm willing to stay with you forever, just as I vowed. Death is the only thing that can tear us apart."
She reached out and hugged him, pressing her face against his chest to feel his warmth.
When they were walking down the stage hand in hand, Nicole saw Jack and Freya standing right under the stage. According to custom, she was supposed to address them as Mother and Father.
But Nicole felt she couldn't say it, and she knew they didn't want to hear it either.
"Nicole Ning! It's really you! Where is Sunny?"
It was only when she approached them a little bit closer that Freya saw Nicole's face clearly enough to recognize her. In shock and outrage, she pointed her finger at Nicole.
Kerr stepped forward to pull Nicole behind him, and he stood defiantly in front of Freya. He said, "I arranged all of this on my own. She had nothing to do with it."
Since he had done it, he wouldn't let Nicole bear the criticism.
"I never had any intention of marrying Sunny. I wouldn't do that in a million years."
There was defiance in Kerr‘s eyes.
Jack's face became gloomy when he heard Kerr's defiant words.
"Where is Sunny?" He didn't know how he could explain it to the He family. "This wedding is illegitimate! I won't allow any other woman to enter the Gu family except Sunny."
With his rigid denial, Jack tried to spoil the wedding that Kerr had prepared for a long time.
The light in Nicole‘s eyes was slightly dimmed by Jack's hostility, but she didn't take it to heart. She didn't really care, because she knew that Kerr didn't care either.
As long as they could be together, it made no difference what other people said or thought. Even if they couldn’t be accepted by the Gu family, there was no reason to be sad about such things.
Nicole gripped Kerr's hand tightly. She wanted him to know that she was not as fragile as he thought.
"Dad, Sunny's father called me just now. He was very angry, and he demanded to know where she is now,"
Moore said, stepping forward, trying to add fuel to the fire.
Jack looked at Kerr sternly when he heard that news. "Don't make trouble. Where is Sunny?"
Kerr turned to Harley, but the latter quietly shook his head.
According to their original plan, Harley was supposed to pick up Sunny and hide her away. But when Harley arrived at the He family's house, Sunny had already disappeared.
Harley had been worried that Sunny would stir up trouble at the wedding.
But even though Sunny didn’t show up, the wedding was still ruined in the end.
"I don't know. It has nothing to do with me," Kerr said.
