“Miss Childs…”
Forrest softened his tone and changed the way he addressed Stacey. “Your mom said that you came to work in my company because of me. Actually, there’s no need for you to do this. You have an extraordinary identity, and you’re capable as well. You don’t have to stoop down and be my assistant. You can go back to your parents’ company. Don’t waste time on me.”
It was a huge blow to Stacey. Even so, she gnashed her teeth and said reluctantly, “President Lynch, I didn’t come here to work just because of you. In fact, I enjoy the work environment at Lynch Corporation. I’ve also made many friends over here.”
Forrest said nonchalantly, “Given that you’ve been performing well at work, I can’t fire you. But to avoid the unnecessary trouble, you can’t be my assistant anymore after you come back to work. You can be a supervisor.”
Stacey was dazed for a moment before she panicked. “President Lynch, are you under the impression that I have the intention of pestering you? I—“
“Miss Childs, don’t make things difficult for me. Since you like Lynch Corporation, it should be fine for you to take any role.” Forrest grew impatient. “PL get my secretary to send you back. I still have a lot of work to deal with.”
With that, he pressed the internal phone number and had his secretary see Stacey out.
Looking at Forrest’s merciless expression, Stacey was internally annoyed.
Although she was so proactive, he remained indifferent. Did he really dislike her?Soon, the secretary came in and said politely, ” Miss Childs, let me send you back.”
Stacey’s eyes darkened. She held her crutches with one hand and hooked the other hand through the secretary’s arm. Only then did she slowly leave.
When she arrived downstairs, Mrs. Childs asked desperately, “How was it?”
“Don’t you see me being sent out?” At that moment, Stacey burst into tears in spite of herself. “Mom, do you know how badly he criticized me? He nearly called you both snobbish. I beg you not to do that again. Because of you, I had to suffer.”
“Who knew Lynch Corporation would be able to make a comeback?” Mrs. Childs said guiltily, ” What’s more, I wasn’t planning on canceling the marriage at first. Forrest was the one who enticed me using his commercial properties. I think he did it intentionally. Did he already know that Lynch Corporation would be able to pull through? He didn’t let us know simply because he’s not interested in you. He’s gone too far. Is he treating us with disdain just because his sister has relations with the executive council?”
“Things wouldn’t have turned out this way if you both weren’t so snobbish.” Stacey was exasperated. “I’m already aware that he’s not into me. I thought of nurturing his feelings for me after we got married.”
“Forget it. Forrest isn’t the only man in this world.” Mrs. Childs became impatient. “We have a decent background. Plus, he has compensated you with two commercial properties. Your social status will rise, and your criteria for your partner will naturally become stricter as well.”
“You don’t even understand what it feels to like someone. I like Forrest, and it has nothing to do with his identity.”
Stacey was particularly exhausted. Why was she born into such a family? Why did she have such parents?
At 9:00 p.m., Forrest returned to his apartment after going out for dinner.
The house was dark. Jessica had yet to return. Somehow, he was rather unused to it.
He took out his phone to dial Jessica’s number. When Jessica was chatting with Chairman Lennox’s son in the Lennox family’s house, she saw an incoming call notification. Then, she smiled at Chairman Lennox politely before she stood up and walked to the French window to pick up the call. “Jessica, when are you coming back? Look at the time now. Are you fooling around with other men?”
“I’m talking to an elder…” Jessica frowned in dissatisfaction. She would definitely teach him a lesson for his awful words if she had the chance. “Let me warn you. You must come back before 10: 00 p.m.”
Jessica’s lips parted. Before she could say anything, the call ended.
She looked at the phone screen helplessly. She looked back, only to find Harold standing one meter away without her realizing it.
“What’s the matter? Is there a man urging you to go back?” Harold asked jokingly.
Jessica did not answer his question but glanced at her watch. “It’s quite late. Ineed to go home.” “The rain is quite heavy. Let me send you back.” Harold looked at the rain outside. The rainfall was always heavy in the summer. ” Coincidentally, I’m planning to go back to sleep. This place is far from the office, so it’s not convenient for me to go to work.”
Previously, Harold and Jessica had bought apartments in the same neighborhood. It was close to Snow Corporation. The land there was worth a fortune.
Jessica threw a glance at Harold. “I don’t live there anymore.”
Harold’s smile froze. “Are you back in the old residence?””No.”
Jessica gave him a one-word reply without explaining further. Then, she turned around and entered the house to bid Chairman Lennox goodbye. “Chairman Lennox, I’m going to head back now. I’ll come again next time.”
¡®It’s raining heavily. Let Harold send you back,” Chairman Lennox said with a smile as he rose to his feet.
“No need. We’re going in different directions.” After Jessica nodded politely, she took over the servant’s umbrella and left.
With a smile, Chairman Lennox watched Jessica get in the car before he turned around and looked at his son, who was pulling a long face. “You haven’t told Jessica about it, have you? How long do you want to drag this? You’re not young anymore. I heard from Jason a few days ago that his family approves of you being together with Jessica. After all, both our families have known each other well for a long time.
¡®Jessica… seems to have a boyfriend already.” Harold clenched his fists and said with mixed feelings.
“Who?” Chairman Lennox was astonished. “I’ve never heard Jason mention it. Could it bea misunderstanding?”
Harold’s eyes darkened. “I’m not sure, but she hinted that through her words.”
Chairman Lennox began to think. “That’s impossible. How can the grandsons of other chairmen compare with you? Jessica can’t possibly be interested in them. What’s more, she usually ignores the young men from the entertainment industry who try to approach her during social functions.”
“Yeah. She has never taken a good look at those handsome young men. I’ve hinted to her over and over again, but she’s been ignoring me.” Harold suddenly said, “Dad, do you think she still thinks about Jordan? Although Jordan fell sick easily, he was handsome. Look, he has been dead for years, and the Churchill family has been going downhill. Yet, Jessica has been looked after the Churchill family and even arranged for Jordan’s sister to work in Snow Corporation.”
Chairman Lennox darted a profound glance at Harold. “Not necessary. After all, Jordan has been dead for years. You should try your best. If you can marry Jessica, it’ll greatly benefit the Lennox farnily. When you become her husband, she’ll inevitably rely on you in the future, especially when she’s pregnant. Women always have to deal with a lot of inconveniences. By then, you can help her manage Snow Corporation, and if you both give birth to a son, my grandson will be the one inheriting Snow Corporation.”
A glint flashed in Harold’s eyes. “Dad, didn’t Old Master Snow make his will already? Carson’s son will be taking over Snow Corporation in the future.”
“Carson, that idiot?”
Chairman Lennox shook his head. “His mind is on relationships, so he’s not a threat. What’s more, when Jessica gives birth to a child in the future, can she bear to hand over Snow Corporation to Carson’s son? Dream on. If she were merciful, she wouldn’t have snatched the position from Rodney. Old Master Snow knows that the will helps ensure that his family members’ lives will be fine. However, no matter how well Jessica does, she’s still a woman…”
He shot a profound look at his son. “Why was I the first person to help her back then? Firstly, I believe that the Snow family has become the shadow of its former self. Secondly, I did it for your sake. Anyway, she owes us a favor, so when you’re free, invite her over for a meal more often.” “Dad, I need your help in this matter. She respects you more.”
Harold looked expectantly at his father.
“No rush. Since you said she has a man by her side, why don’t you go and check if he exists?”
In the apartment, the clock on the wall pointed at 10:00 p.m. sharp.
After Forrest came out of the bathroom, he received another call from Jessica. “I got into a car accident. I’ll be back later at night.”
“How did you even get into a car accident? How do you drive?” Forrest’s expression turned grim.
“Alright. I still have something to settle here. I’m going to hang up now.”
Jessica was not in a good mood.
“Which road are you on?” Forrest suddenly asked. “Western Road…”
“I’m coming.”
The man’s indifferent voice sounded. Jessica, who was holding an umbrella by the roadside, was stunned. However, she was soon startled by a man yelling beside her.
“Why does a woman like you who drives a Bentley have to sink to my level? Mine is just a Santana. Look how much damage you’ve caused to my car. Considering how heavy the rain is, you can compensate me for 20 thousand dollars, and I won’t look into it anymore. Let’s not waste each other’s time.”
It was the young man involved in the car accident tonight. His neck was tattooed, his hair was blonde, and he was chewing some nuts.
“I’ve called the traffic police.” As the rain was getting heavy, Jessica did not feel like discussing it with him anymore. Hence, she opened the door of her car to get in.
“Hey. How dare you?” The young man pulled her impatiently. “It’s so late now. God knows how long it’ll take for the police to arrive. I’m in a rush to have supper. That amount of money is just chicken feed for you anyway. What’s more, you’re at fault for driving too fast. Look, my car was rear-ended.”
“My driving was perfectly fine. It was you who suddenly overtook me. I’m innocent.”
Jessica said nonchalantly, “Let’s stop arguing. We should wait for the police to come over and handle this.”
“F*ck. You’re rich, yet you’re such a miser.”
The young man cursed. Coincidentally, many cars were stuck in the area, and quite some drivers stuck their heads out. The man bellowed, ” Everyone, look at this Bentley driver. She hit my car but refuses to compensate.”
“Hey, driver of that Bentley. Can’t you compensate him? Considering that you drive a car worth a few million dollars, you must be rich. It is so late at night, and both your cars are blocking the entire road,” a driver passing by yelled.
Some people even started taking out their phones to record the scene to ride on the wave. “Look. A Bentley hit a Santana on Western Road, yet the driver of the Bentley isn’t willing to compensate.” Jessica gripped the man’s phone and warned, “If you spread rumors online before the police investigate the case, I’1] sue you for slandering me,”
“Oh no, I’m scared. Do you think rich people like you can stop people from saying whatever they want?” the man started shouting.
“Before you decide to do that, take a good look at my car. Since I could afford a car worth a few million dollars, it means I can hire a lawyer.” Jessica did not want to argue with those people anymore, so she turned around, got in the car, and locked the door.
Five minutes later, the perpetrator called a bunch of his friends over.
Jessica did not get out of her car. She was not so foolish to go head-to-head with them.
Shortly after, a police officer and a representative of the insurance company arrived. Only then did Jessica put on her mask and get out of the car.
