Forrest’s eyebrows were fiercely furrowed together, and his eyes were full of anger.
However, he could only take a deep breath.
No matter what, this matter had to be resolved.
….
The original plan was to fly to the States, but Forrest informed the company to suspend the plan. He first rushed back to Canberra.
It was already 8 p.m. by the time he arrived.
He hurried to Idle Cottage.
In the courtyard was a small bridge and pavilion. The environment here was quiet.
“Mr. Lynch, this is the private room reserved by President Snow.”
The waiter brought him to a private room facing the pool.
Inside was a tea room, sofa, and dining table.
He sat for a while. There was a rattling at the door, and he thought it was Jessica who had arrived. However, he turned around only to see that it was the waiter bringing over some fruits and dishes.
“This was arranged by President Snow.”
The waiter carefully put the food on the table.
Forrest’s dark eyes fell on the dishes, and a trace of complexity flashed inside.
They were dishes that the two used to eat abroad, such as yam and eggplant, black pepper beef, and pork bone soup with corn and carrot.
What exactly did this woman want?
He had not eaten much today and did not have an appetite on the plane. When he saw these brightly- colored dishes, his stomach could not help but growl.
Although he did not want to touch the food prepared by that woman, there was no need to starve himself.
Forrest picked up a bowl and started to eat.
When he put the bowl down, the heavy wooden door was pushed open.
Jessica walked in from outside, dressed in a new seasonal black A-line skirt suit and a pair of high- heeled shoes. Her long hair draped over her shoulders. Her makeup was light, and her eyes were clear and firm. She looked high and lofty as usual. Her body also hid a noble elegance.
Their eyes met.
Forrest’s handsome three-dimensional face seemed to be covered in frost. His dark eyes suppressed a surge of anger. “Are you responsible for what happened involving Sharon Company?”
He had thought a lot about it on the way here.
She was the only one who could have done it.
First, Sharon Company terminated their contract with Lynch Corporation, then Inez Corporation did the same. These two large companies were important partners for Lynch Corporation’s future development. I n order to develop, Lynch Corporation had used most of their funds to expand. If something went wrong now, it would be like breaking their own wings. The consequences would be unimaginable.
All this was done by the woman in front of him.
Jessica glanced at the half-eaten meal on the table. Her gaze softened slightly before she sat down at the table and nodded gently. “Yes.”
“Why are you doing this?”
Forrest’s eyes were sharp. His forbearing tone revealed a rage that seemed to be able to tear her apart in the next moment. “Jessica Snow, I know you’re very powerful now, but you can’t bully people to this extent. Rodney had it coming to him. He was the one who discredited and hurt Mireya. He ignorantly went against the executive council-“
“It’s not because of Rodney. I’m not that unreasonable.”
Jessica interrupted him. Her pretty eyelashes lifted upward slightly as she said, “I heard you’re getting married?”
Forrest suddenly froze.
An absurd reason flashed through his mind. “You’re doing this because I’m getting married?”
“You can’t marry Stacey Childs.” Jessica pursed her delicate lips and spoke word by word, “Marry me and I’ll let Lynch Corporation go.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Forrest fiercely tugged her arm and pulled her up from the chair.
She was caught off guard. Her head hit his cold, hard chest painfully.
However, before she could react, Forrest’s cold words rang out mercilessly. “Jessica Snow, you’re still the president of Snow Corporation. I’ve never seen a person like you forcing anyone to marry you. Are you that short of men? Are you that shameless?”
He was really furious.
In the past, when their relationship was at its best and they decided to return to talk about marriage, she was the one who refused.
Now, when he wanted to start his life again, she used despicable means to try to pull him back again.
Forrest had been proud all his life. All the embarrassment he had ever faced was caused by her.
He was a living person, not a dog.
Was he supposed to come when she called and leave when she told him to go?
Jessica took a deep breath with difficulty. Her pretty face was slightly pale.
This was why she did not make a decision immediately after listening to Ryan’s advice.
That was because she understood that once she took action, Forrest would definitely humiliate her with unpleasant words.
She did not care if others scolded her, but she would be in pain if he scolded her.
However, compared to the pain of him belonging to someone else, this pain right now was nothing.
“The decision lies in your hands.”
She spoke lightly, “I’m quite close acquaintances with the chairman of Sharon Company, and Sharon Company is your company’s largest client after expanding. If the outside world hears that Sharon Company and Inez Corporation have canceled their contracts with you because of your product quality, Lynch Corporation will collapse swiftly like an avalanche. There’s also your shipping company…”
“Enough.”
The more Forrest listened, the tighter his grip grew.
Jessica closed her eyes in pain.
Forrest sneered coldly. “Jessica, if I could turn back time, I’d rather have never met you in the States. You’re too ruthless. I can’t afford to mess with you at all.”
“I like you, Forrest. I just want you to come back to me.”
Jessica’s heart hurt so much that she could not breathe, but she could only tell the truth.
“The one you like is yourself.”¡® Forrest’s eyes were mocking. “Would you still have wanted to come back to me if your husband hadn’t died? Did you forget how you told me that I was from a small place and wasn’t worthy of you?”
“I was forced to say that so that you would leave me, and I was afraid…”
“Even if you’re the most powerful and influential woman in the whole country now, you’re just used goods. Do you think I’ll take a fancy to you?”
Forrest’s cold and piercing words sounded. “Listen closely, Jessica. Women who try to come back will always be worthless. Even if you force me to marry you, I’ll never love you. On the contrary, I’ll only hate you.”
Jessica froze as her face grew ashen.
“Let me give you a piece of advice. What happened between us is in the past. Don’t try to threaten me with Lynch Corporation,” Forrest said word by word. “The things between us won’t pass that easily. Putting aside what happened to us, do you remember what you did to Mireya in the past? She doesn’t care about that anymore, but as her brother, I’ve never forgotten about it.”
¨C Jessica’s long eyelashes quivered.
When her eyes glistened with tears, she hurriedly lowered her head. Her tone was as calm as ever when she spoke again, “Really? You can think whatever you want, but think about Lynch Corporation. You can come to look for me anytime after you figure it out, but you’d better not be too late. Or even I won’t be able to help you.”
Then, she swatted away his arm and walked straight toward the door.
