Chapter 275 Only One Child
All of a sudden, Kelvin seemed to understand what Jay meant. He then said gently, "It seems that you'll have to walk with me." NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Time flew quickly and four months passed by.
When Kerr looked at Nicole by his side, he felt really sorry for her. Her belly was already very big, and when she was sleeping, she couldn't lie comfortably in the bed at night. She was so tired, which worried Kerr.
"This is our last child. We will not have any more children in the future." He was happy to have children with her, but he didn't want her to suffer any more for his sake.
If Kerr fell in love with a woman, he would show great consideration to her in every respect.
Nicole gave him a grateful smile. They already had Jay and the new baby. That was enough for them. As for the future, one could never be entirely sure.
A month before, Jack had told Kelvin to go back to the Gu family's old house. In the past month, Jay had been trying to contact Kelvin, but he failed, which made him feel a bit worried.
Nicole's gentle eyes fell upon her worried son, who was nearby at that moment, and she reminded Kerr about him.
Kerr turned around and reassured her calmly, "Don't worry. Kelvin will be fine. He is Jack's loyal right- hand man for several decades. He won’t get in serious trouble just because of this trifle."
It seemed that Kerr no longer regarded Jack as his father. As far as Kerr could remember, Jack had never acted like a real father to him, and Kerr could never pretend that it didn't matter.
When Jay heard this, he remembered something. He nodded his head and replied, "I hacked into the Gu Group's website yesterday and found that they're in a big crisis now.
Moore knew about the crisis, but he couldn't find a solution. Now the whole Gu Group is in a mess. The board of directors must take action soon."
Moore had no idea that most of his problems were caused by Jay.
Kerr nodded his head, but he wasn't the least bit worried. He knew what Jay had done, and he knew that he'd be able to repair the damage that the Gu Group had suffered.
In the Gu Group
Sitting in the conference room, Moore looked around at the board members. They were all worried about the Gu Group's recent troubles. Profits had suffered terribly. "Enough! There is no point in quarreling like this."
Moore slapped his hand down hard on the conference table, making a loud noise. He was angry.
Hearing Moore, Mr. Lin sneered, "Mr. Moore Gu, it is easy for you to say that. Yes, we can’t solve our problems by swearing at each other, but can you recover the lost orders?"
Everyone else echoed Mr. Lin’s opinion. They all looked at Moore.
But Moore's face darkened. There was one reason for the cancelled orders, namely, that Kerr had left the Gu Group. The original partners of the Gu Group had joined them because of Kerr.
But after Moore took control of the company, they didn’t want to cooperate with them anymore.
"What can he do? Even if they're both sons of the Gu family, there's a world of differences between Kerr and him."
"Of course there's a difference. How could a natural son and an adopted son of the Gu family be the same?"
As those sharp and hostile words were passed back and forth, Moore clenched his hands on the table angrily.
"Since I have this responsibility, of course I won't let the Gu Group fall into trouble. Please rest assured, I will restore the lost profit to the Gu Group, without jeopardizing your interests."
With that said, Moore stood up and strode out of the conference room.
When he returned to his office, he swept all the things on his desk off the floor, venting his anger. The sound of objects breaking could be heard outside.
"Mr. Gu, this is the order that has just been returned." Lily nervously put the file in her hand onto the tea table. She stood near the door and didn't approach Moore.
During this period, Nicole and Kerr weren’t staying in A City, so Lily hadn't had the chance to return to the Ning Group. Moore kept her in the Gu Group and she worked directly for him.
Moore turned around and glared at Lily. What he needed then more than anything was to stabilize his position. He walked up to Lily and pinched her chin.
"Hasn't Nicole come back yet?" Not only Nicole, but also Kerr had disappeared. However, Moore knew that Kerr wouldn't forget about him so easily.
What Moore couldn't understand was why Kerr had gone away at this critical moment.
Lily shook her head and replied, "No. I've called Nicole, but she didn't answer." Lily looked away to avoid Moore's gaze.
In fact, Nicole had finally answered Lily's call yesterday afternoon. Nicole had told her that she would come back soon, but she hadn’t fixed a date, so Lily didn't tell Moore.
When Moore was about to open his mouth, the phone in his pocket rang. Looking at his phone, he saw that the call was from the Gu family. He let go of Lily and walked to the window.
Lily left as soon as she was free.
Just as Moore put the phone to his ear, Jack’s voice came from the other end of the line.
"What happened to you? Are you completely useless? Do you intend to ruin the Gu Group?" Jack had already known that the Gu Group was facing a crisis, but he had thought that Moore would handle it well.
Now it seemed that he had overestimated Moore's abilities. In the previous ten years at least, when Kerr was working in the Gu Group, he had never worried about the company.
Bearing the brunt of Jack's accusation, Moore clenched his fist so hard that the knuckles of his finger turned white. But he had to hold back his anger. "Dad, don't worry. These crises we are facing now are only temporary.
I'm looking for a new partner. Soon, we will carry out the new plan fully. Give me some time. You know, when I took control, most employees and most members of the board of directors were on Kerr’s side.
It's not easy to control them."
Moore wanted to blame Kerr for this. But things hadn't gone according to plan.
"As long as they are employees of the Gu Group, they will be loyal to their company. They don’t work for Kerr, they work for the Gu Group."
