“Accept their relationship?” Jason gave Wendy a side glance. “Be in-laws with the Lynch family again?”
“If Forrest really treats Jessica well, why don’t we just let them be if we can’t stop them?” Wendy sighed. “Actually, I’ve become more open-minded after Rodney’s incident. Back then, we used every method possible to separate him and Sarah. But he was unable to forget her even after marrying Mireya. In the end, he came to like both of them and that resulted in the tragedy today. We shouldn’t meddle in some things to avoid harming our children and making them hate us.” Jason sighed. He said, “That was different. Sarah was too evil. I should’ve chased her far away from the start.”
Wendy shook her head in disapproval. “If you had chased Sarah away, Rodney would’ve hated you at that time. Unattainable things are the most unforgettable ones. Jessica is like that too. Instead of this, why don’t we let them realize it themselves? Didn’t you say that our method of educating Rodney was wrong?”
Speaking of Rodney, Jason went silent.
After a long while, he said, “Let’s do as you say, then.” In the office.
Jessica called the secretary in. “Get some people to clean up the director’s office thoroughly. Also, gather the senior managers of each department for a meeting in the evening.”
The secretary, Luna, was taken aback. “President Snow, is the director… coming back?”
She was stunned. It had taken President Snowa lot of effort to make the director a figurehead. After seeing the red marks on Jessica’s face, Luna visualized a dramatic plot in her head.
“Mm,” Jessica said indifferently. “Call Carson over. He’ll be taking over my duties afterward.” Luna was dumbfounded. “President Snow, you’ re … You’re joking, right?”
Jessica did not say a word. She simply looked at Luna calmly.
When Luna left, she stumbled as she walked. She had a hunch that there would be a change in the power hierarchy of Snow Corporation again.
Not long after, a rumor became widely spread in Snow Corporation.
“Hey, did you hear about it? This morning, the director and his wife came to the company and asked for President Snow. When President Snow came out, her face was hurt. It seemed like she got hit.”
“Why did they hit President Snow?”
“I don’t know. Anyway, after President Snow came out, there were rumors from the president’s office. It looks like President Snow is handing over her duties.”
“Is President Snow resigning? Who’ll be the president, then?”
“I think it’s Carson. Director Snow will be back too.”
“No way. I don’t want President Snow to leave. After she assumed the position, all of our salaries increased.”
a vee “
Even Wendy and Jason, who were upstairs, heard the rumor. It was evident that Jessica was not joking.
Half an hour later, Wendy entered with a bottle of medicine in her hand. “Jessica, does your face still hurt? Let me apply some medicine for you.” Jessica, who was in the middle of handing over her work, glanced at her mother with complicated feelings. “Mom, you don’t have to be worried that Snow Corporation will be taken away by the Lynch family. I’m already about to submit my resignation letter.”
¡®Jessica, let’s be considerate of each other, okay?” Wendy sat opposite Jessica. “Back then, it’s true that your dad and I made you go through a lot. Your dad was rash just now, but he has his worries. After all, Snow Corporation is a business inherited from the Snow family’s ancestors. If it weren’t for the Lynch family, we might not even have so many concerns.”
Jessica pressed her lips in silence. “Mom, I’ve always separated work and relationships clearly. I won’t be that silly.”
“But we’re not you. We don’t understand Forrest well either, do we?” Wendy said softly, “I’ve discussed this with your dad. We’]l] each takea step back. You can be placed on administrative leave, but it must be announced to the public that you’ve already resigned. If Forrest keeps treating you well and doesn’t distance himself from you just because you’re not in charge of Snow Corporation, your dad and I will be willing to support your relationship.”
Jessica understood, but she found it a little ridiculous. When she was Snow Corporation’s president, Forrest had never shown her a pleasant expression anyway.
However, if her parents wanted to use that method, she was willing to cooperate with them. She could rest properly for some time too.
“I’m okay with that,” she said calmly. Wendy let out a sigh of relief. “It’s good that you understand us. Are you and Forrest living together now?”
“Mm.” After thinking for a moment, Jessica said, “His parents don’t know about our marriage too. They don’t really like our family because of Mireya’s incident, so we haven’t told them.”
rt see ? Wendy opened her mouth. After all that ruckus, was her daughter actually unwelcomed in the Lynch family? She was furious. Why? What was her daughter lacking that she was not enough for the Lynch family’s couple? “What about Forrest? Does he treat you well?”
“So-so. I broke up with him all of a sudden previously and got married to Jordan. He can’t forgive me for that and hates me. We’re still adjusting. If we can’t adjust to each other well, we might get a divorce.” Wendy was speechless.
It seemed her questions were useless.
“Jessica, do you have to do this? How is Forrest worth it?”
“Mom, some people say that first loves are the most unforgettable. It might be the case for me. I have regrets because my first love wasn’t fulfilled. No matter what the ending is in the future, at least I tried. Even if things end, I won’t have any regrets.” Jessica’s gaze was full of sincerity.
Looking at Jessica’s expression, Wendy was relieved. “Jessica, it’s not scary to have obsessions. Just don’t be like Rodney. We must be mature and able to let go.”
Jessica nodded. “By the way, was Harold the one who talked about me and Forrest’s relationship?”
“We went golfing with Director Lennox and met him and his son. You know that Harold has always liked you.”
Jessica gave a noncommittal response.
She knew better than anyone else whether Harold liked her or her identity.
“Mom, don’t spread any news about my marriage for now,” Jessica reminded calmly.
An hour later, Carson heard the news and rushed back. When he saw Jessica, his expression crumpled up. “Sis, why did I hear that you’re resigning? Oh my gosh, this can’t be possible.” “It’s true. Come to my office in the next few days. I’ll hand over my work to you,” Jessica said indifferently. “You should familiarize yourself with the people in the office as soon as possible, but don’t be too panicked. Dad will come back too. You and Dad will be managing Snow Corporation together.”
Carson widened his eyes in disbelief. “Stop joking around. You’ve only just obtained Snow Corporation after putting in so much effort back then. Are you letting go so easily? Sis, what happened to you? Did you fight with Mom and Dad?”
Jessica did not admit nor deny it. She simply smirked noncommittally. “What’s so good about sitting in this position? I worked like a dog for Snow Corporation. I clocked in early and went back late, yet I keep being questioned by people. I don’t even have any freedom. I’m not even sure whether the pursuers around me like me for who I am or my identity. I’ve figured everything out. Rather than this, I should just step down. I have the company’s shares anyway. It’l] be enough for me to take the dividends every year. I’m tired too, and I haven’t been in good health lately. Carson, you must manage Snow Corporation well in the future.”
Carson was dumbfounded by Jessica’s words. He became flustered. “Sis, don’t go. I’ll talk to Mom and Dad. I can’t do this. The directors aren’t easy opponents, and my abilities are limited…”
He was well aware of his abilities. Ever since he was young, he knew that the company would not fall into his hands as there were Rodney and Jessica. As such, he went through life without putting much effort into his career.
Moreover, it was great that he could relax at work every day, go on dates, get dividends effortlessly, and lead a worry-free life.
“Carson, Mom and Dad have always had high hopes for you. Don’t disappoint them. I’m only a woman, after all. Using Grandpa’s words, women will end up getting married anyway.”
Jessica walked to Carson’s side and patted his shoulder. She said sincerely, “Snow Corporation will be relying on you in the future.”
“…”
Carson did not want it. Could he not just have an easy life?
News that Snow Corporation had internal strife soon got out. When evening came, even the news outlets were focused on that issue.
After all, Snow Corporation was one of Australia’s strongest businesses. It had tens of thousands of employees under it. Even a slight movement could affect the business world.
News that Snow Corporation’s president had resigned quickly got on the list of hot searches. Ryan contacted Jessica soon after. “Are you really resigning? Or is it just an act?”
“Nothing can escape you, indeed.” Jessica smiled. “My parents found out about Forrest and me. They’re worried that Forrest is targeting Snow Corporation, so they made me put on this act. If Forrest passes this test, they’ll accept him.” “Uncle is overthinking. The Lynch family are prideful people. They won’t have those thoughts at all.” Ryan found it ironic. “Well, they don’t really know Forrest well. You should understand their concerns.”
“That’s why I respect them. Besides, I have my plans too.”
“You’re copying my method, right?” Ryan teased. “I resigned for Mireya too previously. It moved her deeply. Forrest and Mireya are siblings. Tsk, he’ll be so touched this time as well. You’re even letting Snow Corporation go for his sake. Won’t he definitely fall head over heels for you?”
Jessica was taken aback. “I’ve never thought about that. Firstly, I’ve been too tired these days and I want to have a proper rest. Secondly, I want to train Carson. He can’t keep going on like this. Thirdly, Harold knows that Forrest and I have gotten married. The Lennox father and son won’t let this slide. I’m fine with it, but I’m just afraid they’ ll use tricks.”
Ryan was astonished. “Harold? Aren’t you on good terms with him?”
“We are, but I’ve always had my guard up against their plans.”
Ryan smiled. It could be said that he was the closest to Jessica out of all the relatives of the Snow family. Talking to smart people was easy like that.
In some sense, he and Jessica had always been the people at the top of the food chain. Harold and the others were below them, but they were unaware of that. They thought they could hide their little schemes well. However, it was simply because they were not choosing to expose those schemes and were using each other for benefits.
Some people were just not clear about that. ¡®Jessica, you’re so talented. Why would Uncle and the rest be worried about you getting deceived by men? Ha, I think they should be worried about themselves so they won’t get tricked by others,” Ryan joked.
“Forget it. To the elders, we’re never as cautious and mature as they are. There’s no need to fight with them over it.”
“You’re right.”
Lynch Corporation.
Forrest did not pay much attention to the news that day. Ever since he arrived at the company, he had focused on finishing his work as quickly as possible. Then, he had to return to Jessica’s place early to cook.
Hmmm…
What dish should he make that day?
