My CEO Daddy

Chapter 53 The Entanglement

Nicole had no plans of hiding this from Baron. On one hand, she had to take care of her son, and on the other, she had to work hard. Even though her son was very smart and didn't worry her much, she still was very busy taking care of everything on her own.

Baron knew that Nicole was by no means a sluggish person when it came to her work, and if the project attracted her attention so much, then it must really be important.

"What kind of project is it that has you so interested?"

After hearing Baron's question, Nicole showed him the folder in her hand.

"There is a bidding event that is going to be held in the city, and the Gu Group is involved."

With his hands still on the steering wheel, Baron shot the documents in Nicole's hands a casual glance, and he couldn't help but feel stunned at what he saw.

"Did Kerr ask you to take charge of this project?"

He didn't expect Kerr to care so much about Nicole, or have any kind of ulterior motive. By any means, this was definitely not a good thing for him.

Because he didn't want to treat Nicole as an opponent at all.

"Don't tell me that Fang Group is also involved in the bid."

When she caught the surprise in Baron's voice, Nicole was also surprised herself. However, when she thought of the position of Fang Group in A City, she thought it was just reasonable that the Fang Group was also involved.

Although Fang Group was nowhere near as powerful as the Gu Group, it was still a very important enterprise in A City. The bidding that was about to take place was sure to be crowded with many big companies.

All of a sudden, Nicole felt an overwhelming sense of pressure. After all, she was the representative of the entire Gu Group this time, and the last thing she wanted was to cause any kind of damage to the company because of her mistakes or inadequacy.

What was more, if she made a mistake, it would give others the chance to question Kerr's decision, and she would very much hate to disgrace him.

"Yes, and I am the person in charge."

His tone was full of helplessness. Baron had been persuading Nicole to work for the Fang Group for so long in the hope that she wouldn't ever be his competitor.

However, things didn't go as he expected, and what was wors

"Good evening, Mr. Qin."

Ken then raised his hand to open the door to the backseat just as Kerr slowly got out of the car.

"Are you really just going to stand by and watch me get tortured?"

Kerr cast a glance at Ken and Bonnie and said indifferently,

"I don't care about the women you've irritated."

His intuition was telling him that if he got involved, Nicole would definitely not let him get away with it. And since this was caused by Ken alone, he had to solve it by himself.

Seeing the nonchalant expression on Kerr's face, Ken was just about to say something to defend himself when Bonnie's phone suddenly rang.

At the sight of the number on the screen, Bonnie's eyes widened in surprise before she hurriedly answered the call.

"Howard? How are you doing? I'm raising money. Hello? Are you okay?"

A choppy voice resounded from the other end of the line, and the expression on Bonnie's face shifted before she turned around and ran out of the villa. Then, the call was cut off.

Ken let out a sigh of relief as he watched Bonnie leave. However, when he saw the anxious look on her face, he couldn't help but feel worried. Based on her expression, it was clear that something happened during her phone call.

Kerr looked at the hesitation on Ken's face, and he immediately knew what was going on.

"If you can't pay the money back, you can owe me a favor first."

Hearing Kerr's words, Jared instantly understood and got out of the car, and then opened the door for Ken.
