The Reunion After Seven Years

Moore looked at Nicole and grinned. "Miss Ning, so you mean that you're here on behalf of my brother. If something goes wrong, it's him who is responsible, isn't it?"

If Nicole dared to make such a promise, this would be a perfect opportunity for Moore. As long as she replaced Kerr, his brother would eventually pay for her arrogance.

The moment Nicole heard Moore's question, she took a deep breath and met his gaze. "Yes. I'm here on Kerr's behalf, and I'll be responsible for my actions.

I give my word to everyone here that each decision I make in the Gu Group will be under Kerr's name. If there is any problem, I'll also be responsible for it."

Nicole knew that this was the answer everyone wanted to hear and, now that she said it, there was no turning back. Success or failure, either could be ahead of her. However, staring at each director in the room, she didn't feel nervous at all.

In fact, she was the only one who was aware that every word she said meant that Kerr would take over the Gu Group again in the future.

Meanwhile, Jared stood beside Nicole, watching the events unfold in front of him. He knew she didn't have another option but to make that guarantee.

Moore, on the other hand, was satisfied to get the answer he wanted. Sitting down, he casually looked at Nicole without saying a word. The board members noticed his reaction and also took their seats with no further objections.

Nicole then put the documents she had prepared at home over the table, and Jared picked them up as he passed them to everyone present in the room.

The morning went by quickly afterward. Nicole's sharp memory and analysis surprised all the board members. Naturally, they didn't have any doubts and kept their mouths shut.

As for the problems the Gu Group had been facing recently, Nicole gave her ideas and prospects for improvement before ending the meeting.

Once she headed back to Kerr's office, she sat down, feeling a little tired. That meeting was just the beginning. She knew that the future held a much harder task waiting for her.
