The Reunion After Seven Years novel Chapter 120

"What's up, Jay?"

Kerr sat next to Jay, but he thought about Nicole. He wondered what she and Baron could possibly be talking about.

Seeing that Kerr's mind was somewhere else, Jay spoke.

"You should give Mommy a little more time to say goodbye to Uncle Fang. Mommy told me that she had a difficult time giving birth to me. Uncle Fang helped her through that dangerous time. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for him.

That's why Mommy owes Uncle Fang a lot, but that's all she feels for him. She doesn't like Uncle Fang the way she likes you."

The truth was that Nicole never really told Jay any of this. He just overheard Nicole and Baron talking one time. Jay simply wanted to assure Kerr and hoped Kerr would cherish his mother.

"Your teacher told me that you're very talented with computers and that you're building a system on your own."

Kerr glanced at Jay's laptop screen. He had heard of the boy's extraordinary technical talent, and looking at his computer now, he saw him in a new light.

He was surprised to hear about the circumstances with which Nicole gave birth to Jay, and with that, Kerr felt even more determined to protect them for the rest of their lives.

He would keep that in mind.

"I knew the teacher would tell on me,"

Jay said and closed his laptop.

His tone was still childish, but he was angry. He had accidentally exposed his skills once and caught his teacher's attention.

But he knew it was inevitable that he would expose himself. After all, the teachers who were capable of working in such a special school must be intelligent too.

"Nicole must not know these things about you. You sent me that encrypted email, and you're the one who messed with the Gu Group's system that one time," Kerr said with confidence.

It was just a guess, but the surprised expression on Jay's face gave him away. He might be clever, but he was still a child who did not know how to hide his emotions.

"If you hadn't bullied my mommy and made her sad, I wouldn't have messed with your system. The email was your reward because you were preparing a surprise for her. She would feel guilty if she saw that news."

Jay did not deny it because his mother taught him to be responsible for his deeds.

Besides, he did not think he did anything wrong.

"Then why did you tamper with the cooperation case between the Fang Group and the Chen Group?"

Kerr had known all this for a long time. Over time, he had realized that there was someone secretly protecting Nicole, and Jay was the only person possibly responsible.

He had just never suspected Jay because he was just a boy, but hearing him out now, Kerr was sure it had been him who had been guarding Nicole.

"How did you know about that?"

Jay looked at Kerr in disbelief. Kerr just waited for his answer.

"Fine. I did it because Uncle Fang's mom said I was an illegitimate child. I just punished her a little."

Jay lowered his head and stared at his hands.
