The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 158

On hearing what Kerr said, Nicole nodded earnestly and watched him leave the villa.

As he sat in the car, Kerr's face became gloomy and a shadow of his previous gentleness.

"Mr. Gu, Moore arrived at the company early in the morning. He went directly to Miss Ning's old office and asked Lily to bring him all the information about the new project. Now he has planned a meeting to study the new project,"

Jared quickly reported to Kerr as he drove the car, and he was clearly worried about the company's situation. His voice was deeply concerned, and his tone was grave. That Moore Gu had entered the Gu Group so quickly could not be neglected.

"In addition, I just got a call: He has fired a few employees that Miss Ning had appointed and asked the personnel department to post the vacancies online."

After hearing this, a disdainful smile twitched at the corners of Kerr's mouth. It was obvious that Moore was attempting to form his own power base as quickly as he could. But there was nothing subtle about his actions.

Kerr had always seen Moore as an ambitious man. He clearly recalled that when Moore had appeared in the Gu family house—he had been an emaciated and scrawny figure at that time, but when he had looked at Kerr, his eyes had been boiling with jealousy.

This was why Kerr had never trusted Moore and refused to get close to him.

"He wants to cultivate power for his own intention. Don't mind him. Help me find a way to keep those employees that Moore has fired. They are useful. From now on, you need to carefully monitor on anyone who Moore fires, but don't let Moore find out."

Kerr had been planning this for a long time. Moore's unreasonable behavior in the Gu Group was the perfect opportunity for him to exploit.

In the rearview mirror, Jared saw a smile slip onto Kerr's face. Although he didn't know what Kerr wanted to do, he nodded in agreement.

"I understand, Mr. Gu. Don't worry. Should we inform Moore Gu of the board meeting later? Yesterday, Uncle Kelvin told me that Moore would be attending the board meeting on behalf of His Lordship."

There was a hint of caution in Jared's tone. It was obvious that Jack was scheming on using Moore's presence at the company to control Kerr. However, the situation could become very dangerous if Moore were to meet with the board of directors.

"I have told you not to let Moore be involved in anything about the board of directors."

Kerr knew that Moore was looking for a chance to join the board of directors. In fact, he could solve the problem in a roundabout way. One option was that he could promise to break up with Nicole, which would secure his position in the Gu Group.

He firmly believed that she would support his decision, but if he did so, Nicole would not be able to be seen with him in public, and she would definitely suffer at being set aside.

When he thought about Nicole and Jay, he could not allow them to be hurt by anyone ever again.

"I know what to do. Besides, I have arranged for someone to stir up things for the Tang Group. But it appears that things at the Tang Group are not as simple as they seem. I have been investigating it for a while, and I will have the results soon."

Seeing the serious look on Kerr's face, Jared knew what he was up to.

Kerr nodded, leaned back on the leather seat and closed his eyes as he rested.

Soon, the car parked in the underground garage of the Gu Group. When Jared was about to turn around to wake Kerr, he saw that Kerr had already opened his eyes.

As soon as Kerr entered his office and opened his laptop, he heard his assistant's voice.

"Mr. Kerr, Director Moore said that he has something important to discuss with you. It seems that it concerns the new project."

Kerr raised his head and looked pointedly at Jared. The latter immediately got his boss' point and left the office with his assistant. Moore wasn't anywhere to be seen.

Jared looked at the assistant in confusion.

"Director Moore said that Mr. Kerr might not have the time to see him right now, so he won't come here unnecessarily. He asked me to inform Mr. Kerr that if Mr. Kerr wants to see him, he should call Director Moore."

Hearing the assistant's hesitant report, Jared couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise. He didn't expect that even though Moore was so defiant, he would go against Kerr so openly. He shook his head, feeling uneasy.

"Don't call him back. If he calls you, or if he comes over again, just inform him that Mr. Kerr doesn't have time to see him. Tell him to concentrate his efforts on the new project, and there is nothing he should worry about."

Jared knew that Kerr planned on using the opportunity of the new project to make Moore leave the Gu Group as soon as possible, but it was not going to be as simple as he had initially thought.

The assistant nodded.

In the CEO's Office, Kerr looked at the documents on his desk, and then he picked up his mobile phone and speed dialed Harley.

"Sorry to inform you, but you have to help with something. I'm sending someone with a file for you. You have to rebuild this company at best possible speed."

Even though Harley had spent most of his time in studying medicine, Kerr knew that Harley was also a talented businessman. However, he had always respected that Harley liked doing medical research more than doing business.

Hearing what Kerr had just said, Harley frowned slightly. After a moment's hesitation he asked,

"Are you going to rebuild the Ning Group?"

Although it was just a theory, it was based on his firm understanding of Kerr.

Kerr didn't deny it, but his eyes grew bright with the clarity of his intention. He was imagining how happy Nicole would be when she saw the new Ning Group.

This was the best gift he could give to Nicole. Since Nicole gave him such a huge surprise, he naturally had to return it.

"Is that a problem?"

It was Kerr's decision, and no one could stop him. But he had to conceal what they were doing from Nicole, or the cat would be out of the bag.

Harley's face sank and became helpless. He hadn't located Harrow yet, and now he was being placed in a terrible situation. However, upon hearing Kerr's resolute tone, he knew Kerr would brook no argument, and he had no choice but to sullenly agree.

"I see. Leave it to me. If you want to rebuild it, we can modify the design of the original one."

But he knew that Kerr was just keen on satisfying one of Nicole's wishes.

In the He family's villa, Sunny was sitting on the sofa with resentment shinning in her eyes. Now that the He family and the Gu family had openly quarreled with each other because of Nicole's entrance into the Gu family, the arrangements between the two families were sure to be cancelled.

Something occurred to her then. She took out her phone, and her slick nails quickly dialed a number.

"It's time to use the information I asked you to gather. I want it sent to Nicole right away, but do so anonymously. For now, she is probably being protected by Kerr in the villa. You must find a way to get it to her."

The man at the other end of the line nodded his agreement even though he didn't think it was a good idea.
