The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 109

"Mr. Gu, do you mean to give Sea Heart Island to Director Ning?"

Surprised, Jared stared at Kerr.

"Do you have a problem with that?"

Kerr did not think there was anything wrong about gifting Nicole with Sea Heart Island. Only four people in the world knew about that place. It was the best way to safeguard Nicole and Jay.

"Of course not, Mr. Gu. My apologies. I'm going to fetch the documents now."

Jared was about to turn around and leave when his phone rang. Seeing Ken's number on the screen, Jared immediately handed the phone to Kerr.

"Mr. Gu, it's Mr. Qin."

Kerr reached for the phone and pressed the answer key.

"Kerr, we have a bit more complicated situation. The trapped workers have not been rescued, and there is little hope for survival. Worse, I don't know who has informed the media.

Reporters have swarmed the scene. I've sent someone to stop them, but there's still information pouring out. Pay attention to the outside world. It's better to intercept any more news before it hits the media."

Ken sat in his car and looked at the messy crowd. The usual playful look in his eyes was gone and replaced with faint worry. The right that Kerr handed over to him was not in the name of the Gu Group.

This had nothing to do with the Gu Group, but somebody told the media that it was Kerr who was behind all this. Ken had no idea who informed the media, and now they were tearing Kerr apart because of the incident.

"Be careful there. I'll handle everything here. And take care of our workers."

Kerr kept himself calm and collected. After telling Ken what to do, he hung up.

He handed the phone back to Jared, walked to the end of the corridor, and opened the window.

There was a hint of moisture in the air. The summer breeze suddenly became cool. There was not a star in the night sky. It was a sign of a coming storm.

Kerr fished a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag. A few moments of silence helped him figure out a solution. The cigarette soon burned out, and Kerr threw the butt into the trash can. He turned around and walked back to Jared.

"Ready the car. I'll be right there."

The only thing he could do now was damage control. He was not afraid to take responsibility. Ken was at the site alone, and he did not have the Qin Group's support.

The media had a keen sense of smell, and it was easy to pin the entire event on Ken alone.

"Right away, Mr. Gu."

Jared turned around and left.

Jay was sleeping in Nicole's arms when Kerr returned to the ward. Nicole was lying on the bed with her back to the door. When she heard the door swing open, she turned around and put her index finger to her lips, motioning Kerr to tread quietly.

Kerr carefully approached Nicole. He bent over and whispered to her ear.

"I have something to deal with, and I won't be back before dawn. I'll ask Jared to stay here so that you can ask him for anything you need. If I'm not back by tomorrow morning, Harley will be here. He will attend to you."

The construction site was a considerable distance away, and Kerr was not sure about what was going on at the scene. He had to make sure Nicole and Jay were covered in case he got tangled up in the mess longer.

Now, Nicole was in the hospital of the Gu Group. If the Gu family found her, it was very easy to hurt her, but he knew that the most dangerous place was also the safest place.
