The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 148

"Have you forgotten who helped you to beg... Hmm."

Before his wife had finished speaking, Sven covered her mouth with his large palm. His eyes became clouded.

Seeing the rattled expression on Sven's face, Jay covered his mouth and tittered.

"Jay, come here,"

Kerr said as he stretched out his hand towards Jay, worrying that these people he didn't know might hurt him.

When hearing Kerr's voice, Jay dashed to him and stood quietly beside him, watching the drama he had orchestrated play out.

"Enough!"

Jack shouted, stopping the chaos as he looked at the unknown woman who was making a scene.

Due to Jack's thunderous voice, the lounge immediately quieted down, and the woman became so scared that she forgot to cry.

"It seems that Mr. Tang's wife is unaware of your affair yet. How about we clarify for everyone present what had happened seven years ago?"

Nicole had never intended to hold on to this, but since the people here did not plan to let her go, she felt no need to be polite, and this would be important in changing the opinions of the Gu family.

Although she had never coveted anything that Kerr owned, she didn't want him to lose anything because of her.

Love meant that two people should have a lot of happiness, not that one person would have to give up something just because he or she wanted to be together with someone. Otherwise, there would always be regrets in the end.

Holding Kerr's hand tightly, Nicole basked in the peace of mind that he brought to her.

"Seven years ago... It's you..."

Looking at the calm expression on Nicole's face, and seeing the angry look on his wife's face, Sven's previous confidence abandoned him, and he even now lacked the courage to repeat what he had just said.

Feeling ashamed, he lowered his head.

Nicole smiled faintly and continued with the topic that Sven had broached.

"Since you can't clarify matters, then allow me to do so for Mr. Tang. According to Mr. Tang, seven years ago, I used Gregory Song to meet with him. I apparently climbed into Mr. Tang's bed, and took away Mr. Tang's check.

And I secretly gave birth to the child that you conceived with me. Is that true?"

Hearing this, Sven looked at his wife and drew in a staggering breath. He neither admitted nor denied it, but kept resolutely silent.

"If so, Mr. Tang, I want to ask you one question. I dropped something important at that time, and I don't know if you saw it, plus, there is an obvious birthmark on my shoulder. Could you tell me, Mr. Tang, is it on my left or right?"

Nicole stepped forward regarding Sven seriously.

"I... Didn't see it."

Subconsciously, Sven looked over at Gregory and Fiona who stood behind him for support. He wanted to find some hint of how to answer in their expressions, but he didn't get any information.

"No need to check it, Mr. Tang. I did spend some time with Gregory because I was young and inexperienced, but he didn't even touch my hand. How could he know where my birthmark is?"

Nicole was wearing a V-necked dress that perfectly covered her shoulders.

Gregory's face darkened as he heard this. He clenched his fists. He had believed that Nicole was a conservative and naive girl back then, but he never expected that she would humiliate him by exposing this.

"On the left."

Sven decided to take a gamble. Anyway, there was only one way out now. There was still a fifty percent chance for him to win.

"Sven, you bastard!"

His guess made his wife lose control again.

"Wait a minute, honey."

Sven held his wife's hands tightly and frowned.

Hearing Sven's guess, Nicole sneered with obvious contempt on her face.

"There is no birthmark on Nicole…anywhere,"

Kerr replied firmly.

"That black earring is locked away in my drawer."

Kerr curled his arm around Nicole's shoulders and looked at her with a smile.

Seven years ago, when he had woken up, he had only her earring left in the room, with the 2,642 dollars left by her. He had collected the earring like a treasure to remember the woman by.

"There is one more thing. It was left as a reward for you!"

Nicole looked up at Kerr, with her eyes beaming with light. That had been every last cent that she had at that time.

Looking at her brightly shining eyes, Kerr immediately understood what she was referring to. He pinched her nose gently as a mild punishment.

He wouldn't tell anyone about the 2,642 dollars. It would be humiliating to admit that his labor that night had only been worth such a small amount of money.

"Tell me, what did you do seven years ago behind my back? If you hadn't fooled around with Gregory Song, would the Tang Group have ended up like this?" Sven's wife shouted.

"Shut up!"

Seeing that his wife was about to publicly admit to what had happened seven years ago, Sven covered her mouth. He looked at Nicole and said,

"It seems that Miss Ning is not the woman from seven years ago."

Then, Sven left the lounge in a hurry with his wife in tow.

"Sven Tang!"

After he left, Fiona stamped her foot in rage. She reached out and pulled Gregory to the side, indicating for him to think of a way out. If they couldn't go on with their lie, their situation would become most embarrassing.

But Gregory just remained silent.

"Since you are all so curious about what had happened seven years ago, I'll share the truth with you now."

Kerr stepped forward and turned around to face Jack.

Regardless of the truth, he would lie for Nicole if she wanted him to. He would give anything to make a happy future for her and Jay. But now, time after time, he had come to understand that

maybe his explanation was not about winning the recognition of his family, but about making everyone realize that Nicole and Jay were openly and irrefutably with him.

"Seven years ago, I met Nicole, and all the details of that is between us. I told you this not to win your approval,

because I don't care whether they are accepted by the Gu family or not. In my heart, Nicole is my one and only, my wife, and Jay is my son,"

Kerr said firmly, as if proclaiming it was a declaration of war on Jack.

"Don't think that everyone is the same as you, who only care about the wealth and standing of the Gu family. If I have to make a choice between them and the Gu family, you should know what my decision will always be."

When Jack was about to chip in, Freya walked to Jack and hinted at him with her eyes not to further irritate Kerr. Then she turned around and regarded Kerr with a smile.

"Since it was a mistake, we will respect your feelings. However, we still can't be sure who Jay's father is."
