The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 144 Betraying The Gu Group

Freya looked between Jack's angry face and Moore's satisfied grin with more awareness than she let on.

Reaching out for the paternity test in Freya's hands, Nicole opened it in front of everyone.

Her eyes scanned through the paper until she found the result. The comparative analysis between Jay's and Sven's blood was 99.3%. Of course, she knew what it meant.

"I think Miss Ning can't deny the result of this paternity test. It clearly states that Jay is indeed Sven Tang's son."

Freya's words gave hope to those who were waiting to laugh at Nicole.

"Nicole Ning, what do you have to say for yourself now? Or are you going to keep denying it? Despite this irrefutable evidence against you!"

Fiona stepped forward to accuse Nicole.

"Nicole, remember when I came to you after you returned to A City? I told you I still missed our past and that if you stayed with me, I wouldn't forsake either you or the child.

I also told you at the time that you shouldn't mess with the Gu family. I realize you want to use Mr. Gu to help you rebuild the Ning Group, but you can't keep lying to the Gu family,"

Sven tried to persuade Nicole, his eyes full of resignation.

"Miss Ning... I used to think that you really had feelings for Kerr, so I gave in again and again. I could never have expected that you would use a little child to advance with your plans.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

I understand that you need money to rebuild the Ning Group, but you can't sell the Gu Group's information to outsiders. This could cause a lot of trouble to the Gu Group, don't you know?"

Watching Nicole still so calm in front of all the accusations against her, Sunny stepped forward and spoke wistfully. Shortly after she was done, she brought a hand to cover her mouth as if she had said too much. However, just as she intended, everyone had already registered her words.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that. We are only here to talk about Miss Ning's baby, right?"

Sunny took a step back and stood beside Freya, deliberately avoiding eye contact with Kerr.

She had put a lot of effort into making Freya believe that Nicole had attempted to disclose the Gu Group's information. This caused Freya to change her attitude towards the matter, but Sunny couldn't give up now that she was halfway through it.

"Explain it!"

Jack, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help demanding answers when he heard Sunny's accusation.

Maybe Jack didn't care that much about Kerr's love affair, but he was intolerant to anything in the way of the Gu Group's interests.

"Actually... When I used to work as Kerr's assistant, I happened to notice a few things by accident."

Sunny looked innocently at Nicole and paused for a moment to create suspense.

"Although at the time Miss Ning was still the director of the company, I remember that the Gu Group was going to take part in the bidding of a project which wasn't supposed to be handed to her. But somehow she ended up in charge of it.

During that time, I saw Miss Ning privately meeting with the Fang Group's CEO, Baron Fang, several times. I consulted one of my colleagues, and I was assured that the Fang Group was also participating in the same bid. In any case, Miss Ning shouldn't be meeting with the competitor.

But I suppose Miss Ning and Baron Fang are close."

Sunny glanced at Kerr, who was standing beside Nicole the whole time. Since Sunny got into the room, he didn't spare her a single look. Even with all that was going on, he only had eyes for Nicole.

Sunny couldn't help but clench her fists in frustration.

"I would've forgotten if you didn't mention it. But I've heard that Miss Ning and Mr. Fang had become acquainted in Manhattan and have been maintaining a good relationship since then. There were even rumors that Baron Fang was Jay Ning's father,"

Gregory added to Sunny's words. Then he looked at Nicole full of resentment.

He never expected that Nicole would surround herself by so many men, one more powerful than the other. If he had known this, he would've kept her by his side.

Perhaps, with her help, he could have prevented the Song Group from going bankrupt so quickly.

"Gregory, did you forget that Mr. Fang announced that Nicole was his soul mate at the Fang Group Anniversary? If I remember correctly, Mr. Gu was also there, wasn't he?

If Mrs. Gu hasn't shown us this paternity test, I would also have my doubts about who the actual father was!"

Fiona stood by Gregory, reminding everyone about the rumors surrounding Nicole and Baron. Now everyone knew that Nicole had so many men around her: Sven, Baron, Gregory, and even Kerr. Nicole might be eloquent, but she couldn't shut out these rumors.

"Nicole, from me to Mr. Fang, and now to Mr. Gu... Your only goal is to use this child to rebuild your family's company. You're obsessed!"

Sven reached out to hold Nicole's hand. But she stepped back and avoided his touch.

Then, upon meeting a specific pair of eyes in front of her, Nicole chuckled softly.

"Did you say I betray the Gu Group? Do you have any proof of this, Sunny He?"

Despite the chills running up her spine due to all the slanders, Nicole's consciousness was at ease, knowing how hard she worked every day in the company and that she had never betrayed the Gu Group.

They could discredit her, but they sure needed to show her the evidence behind everything they were saying.

She might leave the Gu Group that same day, but they wouldn't be able to prove anything against her. She wasn't going to allow them to smear her.

"Miss Ning, do you really have to make it so much more embarrassing? In fact, as long as you admit your mistake in front of Uncle Jack and take your child away from Kerr, I'll help you persuade the Gu family not to look into the legal matters of your transgression.

Selling the company's information could grant you some jail time!"

Sunny advised Nicole in a kind voice.

Yet, behind her composed exterior, Sunny was becoming more and more restless inside. She couldn't help but notice that Kerr didn't say a word so far, making it impossible to guess what he had in mind.

"Thanks for the reminder, Miss He. But you might want to know that defamation and slander could also grant the offender some jail time. So, if you're confident that I have betrayed the Gu Group, you must have collected the evidence of this. Please, let me see it."

Nicole knew that Sunny wasn't there just for the fun of it. She had to have something prepared for her, and Nicole wanted to know what that was so she could deal with it right now.
