My CEO Daddy

Avery was wary of Baron's presence with what she was about to say to Nicole. The Fang heir noticed it and decided that he should probably leave. "Nicole, it looks like you two have something very important, and quite sensitive, to talk about. I'll go ahead, I just remembered that I still have a few phone calls to make."

Baron rose from his seat and was about to leave, but Nicole stopped him.

"Take a seat, Baron."

She turned to look at Avery and reassured her that Baron could be trusted. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

"Avery, Baron is a good friend of mine. He could help us. He's helped me so much since we were in Manhattan. Don't worry, there is no need to hide anything from him."

She knew that Baron was always reasonable and she trusted him as her friend. She just had to reassure Avery of that confidence. With a sigh, Avery nodded in response, looked directly at Nicole and began,

"Alright, so after the Ning Group fell apart, I thought that Aunt Sandra didn't have a job. Since Bonnie was still really young, I figured I should try to help by sending some financial aid. But when I went to see her, I accidentally saw that your stepmother was talking to a man and they seemed really close, suspiciously close.

I followed her in secret. I saw them enter a hotel, and it took long before they came out. After that day, I sent someone to follow her around for some time. I was worried that the reporters would bother her at first, but I accidentally took a picture of her and that man together in the picture.

I did a background check on the man and found out that he was the CEO of the He Group—Daniel He."

Nicole looked at Avery who was a little embarrassed as she explained. Although Nicole was surprised at what she had heard, her face remained stoic.

"My father passed away, and Aunt Sandra and Bonnie had to survive somehow. My stepmother needed to find a person she could rely on."

Nicole knew she couldn't really blame her stepmother for doing what she did. It was the most reasonable course of action. But she was rather uncomfortable with the fact that so soon after her father's death, her stepmother found a way out for herself.

However, she had been acquainted with the fickle and cold side

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

ed her mouth with a napkin with one hand, and tidied up her long hair behind her ear with the other to cover the hickey on her neck.

Damn it! When she took a shower in the morning, she found that her body was covered with hickeys, which could not be covered up at all.

"It's nothing. I was just bitten by a dog."

Nicole was clenching her jaw, which made Avery feel that she was going to get bitten next. She shook her head involuntarily, and when she glanced at Baron's gloomy face, she realized that she might have said something wrong.

Maybe the hickey on Nicole's neck was not left by Baron.

Baron cleared his throat and simply said, "I will take you to the hospital to get a rabies vaccine after lunch."

He poured another glass of water for Nicole and put it in front of her. He spoke in a serious manner.

Looking at the guilty expression on Nicole's face, he knew that it must have something to do with Kerr.

He was getting anxious that Kerr would slowly slipping his way into Nicole's heart.

"Yes, you're right. She will be fine after getting vaccinated. Do you have any more work to do, Nicole?"

Avery tried to divert the topic quickly. She also felt a little embarrassed with the situation at hand.

"I'm fine. A little busy. I'm still competing with Baron, right?"

Feeling a little guilty with the turn of events, Nicole looked at Baron and changed the topic.

"That's right. You should work hard and focus on your work," Baron said.
