There was no way Nicole could forget about how cold and ruthless Kerr was when he

talked over the phone just now. Based on his words, she could tell that this was a woman

who was also with Kerr for some time. He could have even forced that girl to have an

abortion. But Nicole was nothing more than just a meaningless one night stand.

The last thing she wanted was for Jay to find out that his father was a cold-blooded man.

Other than that, she couldn't imagine what Kerr would do if he found out what her and

Jay's true identities were. At that very moment, there was only one thought in her mind.

There was no way she could let him find out about them!

The car ride dragged on in silence until they finally stopped outside the Riverside Garden.

Just as Nicole was about to get out of the car without a word, Kerr suddenly opened his

eyes and spoke softly, "You may go ahead and pick up your son. The car will be here

waiting for you."

After getting over her initial shock at his words, Nicole smiled quietly.

"Thank you, Mr. Graham, but my home isn't very far from here, and my son isn't very

comfortable with strangers. Besides, I would hate to bother you."

Since she had already declined, Kerr no longer insisted. He did, however, ask her a

question.

"Why don't you let your husband take care of the kid since you are already so busy?"

She quietly clenched her fists. "I don't have a husband."

As it turned out, she was actually a single, unmarried mother.

A spark of joy appeared in Kerr's heart as Nicole got out of the car and walked into the

Riverside Garden. Then, after he asked the driver to take him to his apartment, his

assistant called all of a sudden.

"Mr. Graham, the money has been transferred. You were right. That woman's baby is not

yours at all. She really thought that she could make a fortune with this child, huh. I didn't

expect she spilled everything when she was frightened by your words."

The corners of his mouth curled up to a sneer. "Forget it. You have more important things

to do."

There was a pause on the other end of the line as the assistant felt a tinge of guilt.

"I'm truly sorry, Mr. Graham. That night, seven years ago, the circuit of the hotel you

visited was cut short, so we failed to take the video. We still haven't found the woman you

told us about, so..."

"So you waited for seven years?"

There was a hint of aggressiveness in his tone. "I have told you before that it doesn't

matter if we don't find her at once. But you have worked for me for many, many years,

and you should know by now that I am not a patient person."

The assistant on the other end of the line took a deep breath and was about to say

something, but before he could utter a single word, Kerr hung up the phone. He lazily

leaned his body against the leather seat. His eyes were dark.

Kerr closed his eyes, and he could still feel the gaze Nicole had set upon him. When she

was about to leave, she concealed her true feelings very well, but the faint shiver in her

voice betrayed her.

What was that woman so afraid of?

Meanwhile, in Baron's home in the Riverside Garden, Nicole was sitting on the sofa with a

pale face and trembling hands. When she saw the worried and concerned look etched on

Baron's face, she took a deep breath and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Baron, please do me a favor."

Now, Baron was the only person she could rely on.

As he looked back at the ghastly pale Nicole, his expression grew even more nervous.

"What is it?"

Nicole glanced at her son, Jay, and tried her best to calm herself down.

"Please help me deal with my information. I hope no on

e can find out about who I was in the past. I don't want Jay's father to come and take him

away from me."

She wasn't sure about whether or not she should tell Baron that Kerr was actually Jay's

father.

She knew very little about just how powerful of a person Kerr really was, but she had a

rough guess. And since she didn't want to bring any trouble to Baron in the future, she

decided that the less he knew about it, the better.

"I know what to do. Don't worry."

He knew just how much Nicole cared about Jay, and that's why he chose not to tell her his

true feelings for her.

After all, even though he was okay with the fact that Nicole brought up a six-year-old child

on her own, his family would never accept Jay.

When Nicole walked out of the Riverside Garden with Jay in her arms, she didn't notice

that the black Porsche had returned. It was parked a short distance away from her, hidden

in the darkness.

Kerr's sharp black eyes were still bright even in the dark.

This time, it was Kerr who called his assistant on the phone.

"I'd like you to investigate the newly hired Nicole Morgan."

Before the assistant could even answer, Kerr hung up the phone.

The next day, as Kerr sat in his office and looked through the information that his assistant

Jared had collected for him, his calm face turned gloomy all of a sudden.

The document Jared had brought him was almost a carbon copy of what Nicole had

submitted to the personnel department of the Graham Group. There was no information

about her past before she went to Manhattan University--not even mentioning the father

of her child.

"Is this really all you're giving me?"

Hearing the coldness in Kerr's voice, Jared hesitantly bowed his head, not daring to look

into Kerr's eyes.

"Mr. Graham, these were the only information I could find when I investigated Nicole.

Strangely, Nicole was part of the Morgan family, but not long after the Morgan family was

brought down, she was already in Manhattan.

There was nothing I could find about her child. Maybe she gave birth in secret, and that is

why we can't find anything."

Jared had been working for Kerr for quite a long time, so he had a good grasp of what kind

of person Kerr was. Admittedly, it was strange for him to see Kerr being so interested in a

woman.

Kerr waved his hand dismissively and decided not to probe even further. However, the

deep impression that Nicole had left on him remained.

"If I remember correctly, there is a business dinner tonight."

"Yes, it is with the president of the Gibson Group, the son of the president of Robinson

Group, and some of the staff working on this project."

As Kerr's assistant, he was perfectly capable of anything as long as it wasn't about

investigating what happened seven years ago.

"Nicole Morgan is also involved in this project. Am I right?"

Kerr's gaze fell upon one of the photos on Nicole's file and he fell deep into thought.

Jared immediately reacted after getting over his shock. He nodded at him and said, "Yes,

Mr. Graham. Don't worry about it. I know what to do."

With that, he took the folder containing the project they had with the Gibson Group,

walked towards Nicole's office, and knocked on the door gently.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Come in, please."

Nicole's eyes remained fixed on the computer screen. She didn't bother to look up to see

who entered the door.

"Nicole, this is the cooperation plan regarding the Graham Group and the Gibson Group

project that is about to start. Mr. Graham has decided to put you in charge of this project."

He placed the documents on the desk in front of her.
