“Jessica Snow…”
Forrest was furious and grabbed her shoulder again from behind.
When he grabbed her, he realized how thin and soft her elbow was.
“Let me remind you.” Jessica turned around. “If Lynch Corporation falls, do you think the Childs family will still agree to let their daughter marry you? Also, it’s useless even if you get Ryan and the executive council to help. My word is final in the business world. In addition, your sister has just started dating Ryan, so you’ll probably be too embarrassed to keep asking Ryan for help, right?”
Then, she left.
The room was enveloped in coldness again.
Forrest, who was aggressive just a moment ago, felt a deep sense of powerlessness at this moment.
The words that Jessica said when she left struck a nerve.
After all, they had dated before. She was too smart and knew him too well.
It was impossible for him to beg Ryan.
It was like how he had repeatedly refused the help of Jason and his wife when Mireya married Rodney.
He did not want his sister to be unable to lift her head in the Snow family.
Therefore, he had always relied on himself.
The reason why he accepted Ryan’s help for the land in Canberra was that he wanted to let Lynch Corporation rise as soon as possible. In the end, it was to strengthen the Lynch family so that Mireya had a competent backer.
Ryan had helped enough. How could Forrest still go begging for more?
He hated Jessica Snow.
She knew him so well, yet she wanted to break his pride.
Despite having already established a firm foothold in the capital, the gap between Lynch Corporation and Snow Corporation was still too great.
At that moment, Forrest had a deep sense of powerlessness.
….
He took another flight to the States overnight.
However, President Smith of Sharon Company refused to meet him and even avoided him.
Jerry’s urgent call came again. “Forrest, how did the talks go? Is there still room for reconciliation between Sharon Company and Inez Corporation?”
“I haven’t met Smith yet.”¡® Forrest stood on an unfamiliar road abroad and pinched his brows tiredly.
“…”
Jerry sighed softly. “There’s definitely someone targeting our family. I just don’t know who we’ve offended. The opponent is too scheming. Why don’t I just humble myself and personally go beg President Chaplin from Inez Corporation…?”
“It’ll still be useless.”
Forrest spoke in a low voice, his heart filled with bitterness.
How was he supposed to explain that Jessica was forcing him to marry her? How could he explain that he had dated Jessica in the past?
How could he say that the Lynch family had fallen to this state because of him?
He did not have the dignity to do so.
Mr. and Mrs. Lynch did not like Jason Snow and his family very much after what had happened with Rodney.
It had not been easy for Mireya to divorce Rodney, but now, Forrest had to get married to Rodney’s sister…
His parents would definitely be very angry.
“Do you know something?” Jerry asked keenly. “If there’s really no way, I’ll go ask Ryan for help…”
“Asking him about anything related to the business world, especially foreign trade, will just be making things hard for him.”
Forrest vaguely knew that news of his marriage might have been leaked by Ryan.
There was no way that the executive council would offend Jessica. Ryan was caught in between both sides and could not help either side.
“I’ll solve it, Dad.”
He finally said those words.
Forrest felt ridiculous just thinking about a solution.
…..
Forrest remained in the States for two more days.
When he returned to Australia again, the factories had temporarily stopped production even though the affairs of Lynch Corporation were kept under wraps. There were thousands of employees, so rumors inevitably spread.
The Childs family also quickly learned of the news. Mr. Childs even called Jerry. “President Lynch, I heard at a social gathering that Lynch Corporation is having some problems with Sharon Company and has temporarily stopped production?”
Since they were about to become in-laws, Jerry did not avoid responsibility and merely sighed. “Chairman Childs, you have a branch in the States too. Can you think of anyone who can talk to Sharon Company?”
That short sentence was enough to confirm the rumor.
Mr. Childs thought about it. “I don’t, but don’t you have a good son-in-law? You can ask him for help. The executive council dotes on your daughter so much. You just have to talk to them.”
“This matter is quite troublesome, so it won’t be good for the executive council to intervene.”
Jerry vaguely evaded the suggestion.
Mr. Childs had a lot of thoughts in his mind. His expression turned unpleasant when he hung up the phone.
“What’s going on? Is this really going to be the downfall of the Lynch family?” Mrs. Childs asked hurriedly. “That’s impossible. Ryan Snow likes Mireya so much. Isn’t he going to help Lynch Corporation?”
“I’m afraid that even if Ryan likes Mireya for now, he might not plan on marrying her.” Mr. Childs gave his wife a long look. “Sometimes, things that happen on a whim may not be as simple as they seem. Sharon Company is one of the top ten companies in the world. Even if Ryan is willing to help, this favor might not be a simple matter. It depends on whether it’s worth it.”
Mrs. Childs hurriedly said, “Then what should we do? How would Forrest be worthy of our daughter if Lynch Corporation falls?”
Mr. Childs was also annoyed. What was a great affair turned out to be…
“Fortunately, news that our families are about to be engaged hasn’t been spread yet. If the Lynch family talks to you about marriage, delay it for now. They can tie the knot after this hurdle, but if Lynch Corporation can’t hold on… When that time comes, find an excuse to say that it’s too hasty for them to get married. Besides, the two haven’t gotten engaged. Everything was only discussed verbally. If the Lynch family asks to borrow funds, tell them that we don’t have enough either.”
“Dad, how could you do this?”
Stacey’s incredulous voice suddenly sounded from behind.
She leaned on her crutches, and her eyes looked furious. “You guys clearly agreed…”
“We agreed before because of Forrest’s ability and Ryan, but Lynch Corporation is having a crisis now. If the Lynch family collapses, you can’t possibly marry into that kind of family.”
Mr. Childs stood up solemnly. “You’re the daughter we raised painstakingly. I can’t let you get married to someone with a lower status than you.”
“Dad, you’re too materialistic. I like Forrest. He’s the only one I want to marry.” Stacey was trembling with anger.
“Be good, Stacey. If Lynch Corporation falls, Forrest will be saddled with a huge debt. You’ll become a joke if you marry him,” Mrs. Childs also rebuked her. “For now, you should just stay at home and recuperate. Don’t go anywhere and don’t contact Forrest.”
Then, Mrs. Childs simply confiscated Stacey’s cell phone.
¨C “Mom, you guys are too much.”
Stacey was so angry that she teared up.
However, her leg was hurt, so it was inconvenient for her to go out.
