The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 67

Anyone would know that ticking off the Gu heir would mean catastrophe to whoever crossed him. Kerr had laid waste to the reporter's career, and gave a hint to Jared, who stood behind him, with his cold eyes. He swiftly turned around and took Nicole's hand under everyone's gaze, and walked out.

Although no one asked, everyone had their own theory behind Kerr's odd behavior, but it all boiled down to the child. They figured that the young boy must be related to the Gu Group's CEO in some way, otherwise he wouldn't have cared.

For the first time in all of history, Kerr Gu protected a woman, a woman with a child nonetheless. Everyone was wildly curious about the identity of Nicole Ning and Jay Ning.

Taking his boss' hint, Jared took off the name tag of the female reporter's chest and noted it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the commotion is over, the Fang Group's Anniversary Party has officially begun."

The host then took everyone's attention and slowly got the tension to lessen.

Baron wanted to go after Nicole but his mother stopped him. "Baron, today is a very important day for the Fang Group. You can't leave!"

Mrs. Fang warned Baron while holding his arm.

She had spent a lot of time and energy on raising Baron to be the man that he was. Making any mistake was unacceptable because marriage was a matter of vital importance to his whole life, to the entire Fang Group.

Baron tried to piece together what happened and came to one conclusion. "Mom, this is your doing. You asked them to bring Jay here, am I right? You want everyone to know that Nicole is a single mother.

Because you want to tear apart the idea that she and I can be together, so you are trying to ruin her reputation, am I right?"

Baron looked at his mother in disbelief. His mother had always been gentle and kind in his eyes. But today, she showed her true colors. His mother was a scheming woman who would even dare hurt a child.

He was not only surprised, but also very disappointed.

"I'm doing this for your own good. Maggie is back, so don't think about other women. Nicole Ning is not qualified to be a member of the Fang family. It's impossible for our family to accept a woman with a child out of wedlock. She doesn't belong with you."

Mrs. Fang had been a member of the Fang family for so long. She couldn't let their family become the laughing stock of everyone because of that woman. It was absolutely unacceptable for the family to raise other people's children.

"Mom, you're sorely mistaken. I like Nicole, I've had feelings for her for a long time. I want to marry her, not the other way around."

Bitterness was etched on Baron's face. He broke free of his mother's grip and walked outside.

At the door of the banquet hall

"Uncle Gu, that was amazing! Those annoying voices disappeared instantly when you appeared. I hope I can protect Mommy in the future like you can, Uncle,"

Jay remarked and looked up at Kerr with sparkling eyes.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu."

Nicole thanked him as she reached her hand to take Jay, but Kerr dodged. She had to admit that even though they were in the middle of trouble, she appreciated that he did not avoid them.

And he didn't seem to mind how people think about his relationship with Jay at all.
