Jason laughed in exasperation, “stop scheming in front of me. You may say that you’re resigning, but you have, in fact, brainwashed all the senior executives in the headquarters. They’re all your people. Don’t forget that the Lennox family was the first to support you when you were elected. Now, you’re basically kicking down the ladder.”
“Dad, as you said, all they did was support me. Even if they didn’t support me, I’d force them to do that. Mr. Lennox made a wise decision.”
Jessica looked at her father, she admitted that Jason used to do well, but now that he was old, he could not tell apart those with and without bad intentionst. “If the Lennox family were honest and reliable, I would hire them again. The overseas project that I handed to Harold this year is the best example to show that his family is unreliable.”
Jason was stunned, and a complicated expression appeared on his face. “Are you referring to chairman Harold matchmaking you and Harold? It’s just a marriage. Even if you’re not interested in him, nobody’s forcing you to accept him.”
“You think too simply, Dad. Harold doesn’t only want me. He also plans to convert Snow Corporation into Harold Corporation.”
Jessica shook her head helplessly. “I don’t care about your relationship with Mr. Lennox in private, but please leave your personal lives at the door. If he looks for you, tell him to look for me instead. I’m under no illusions about what the Lennox family has done privately.” Jason opened his mouth. However, he suddenly did not know what to say.
When Jessica walked to the door, she turned around. “Dad, let me remind you that I used to help you as much as I could when you were in the company. Now that I’m leaving, please keep your eyes open.”
With that, she left.
At that moment, Jason felt that he was almost losing his dignity.
By the time chairman Lennox called Jason again, Jason abrasively told him that he could not interfere with it.
At noon, chairman Lennox and Harold came over.
Chairman Lennox was a smart person. As soon as they saw Jessica, he slapped Harold in the head. “Jessica, I only learned today what a careless mistake my son made. He couldn’t help himself because he’s really in love with you. He has been very fond of you since he was 18, but unfortunately, you got married to Jordan. So when he suddenly learned that you’re married again, he failed to control himself and played some tricks, not expecting that the Childs family would trick him. Please don’t put the blame on Porter. If you have anything to say, just let me know. I’ll teach Harold a lesson for you.”
“How are you going to teach him a lesson?” Jessica’s face was icy-cold, and her eyes were sharp. “Go home and give him a scolding or punch, huh?”
? ?
Chairman Lennox was put in an awkward position. Saying that he would give Harold a lesson was merely a facade. However, Jessica’s words made him look bad.
Harold promptly explained, “Jessica, I-“
“Since I haven’t officially resigned, you should address me as President Snow,” Jessica interrupted him straight away. Her aura of sternness exploded all of a sudden.
Harold was so stunned that his face paled.
Embarrassed, Chairman Lennox said, ” Jessica, I promise that I’ll keep an eye on Harold from now on. Now that you’re married, I’ll make sure he gets over you.”
“Mr. Lennox, I’m not going to beat around the bush.” Jessica narrowed her eyes, and her lips curled into a mocking smile. “Given that I’ve managed to secure this position and control the board of directors so well, it means that I’m not an easy person to deal with. I talked to Harold a few days ago and asked him to stop playing tricks, so I did give him a chance. Saying that he fell in love with me when he was 18 is nonsense. He’s merely eying my position.”
Chairman Lennox’s expression shifted, while Harold said in embarrassment, “You’re really insulting me, President Lynch.”
“Insulting?”
Jessica laughed. “Why don’t you think of it this way? I’m older than you, yet I’m at a higher position than you and your dad.
Harold, I’ve been aware of your intention since the day I held the position. Not only you, but other people also supported me because Chairman Lennox was the first to do so.
Considering your competence, I saved you your dignity and gave you a chance.”
After pausing for a moment, she rose to her feet in her high heels and placed one hand on the leather chair. “You’re just interested in my position, aren’t you? I don’t mind. It’s normal for young people like you to be ambitious, but you don’t get too in your head and treat me as a fool. Am I right, Chairman Lennox?”
She turned her eyes to Chairman Lennox with a faint smile. “You have a good relationship with my dad. Especially when my dad was made a figurehead at work, and when Rodney almost got into trouble, you did comfort him a lot. My dad might be senile, but I’m not.” “Jessica…” Chairman Lennox maintained a smile on his face, but his eyes no longer beamed. “You’re getting out of line with your words.”
“Getting out of line?”
Unconcerned, Jessica grinned. “You’ve said in private that when Harold marries me and gets me pregnant, he could take over my position using his identity as my husband. If it doesn’t work, it wouldn’t matter because the child’s surname would be Lennox. Since the child would be taking over Snow Corporation, it could be converted to Lennox Corporation one day, considering the child’s surname.”
Chairman Lennox and Harold were shocked.
They had only said those things once or twice in the house, but how did Jessica know everything?
Even Chairman Lennox felt chills down his spine, let alone Harold. “Jessica, you can suspect Harold, but you can’t accuse the Lennox family.”
“Accuse?” The glint in Jessica’s eyes turned colder and colder. “Your servant was the one who personally said it. Mr. Lennox, now that things have come to this point, I don’t mind telling you that I’ve planted a spy in your house. When you were the first to show me support, it showed that you’re resolute and wise, which is also why I’ve been guarding against you the most.”
Harold felt as though his blood had turned cold in an instant.
Under Jessica’s gaze, he suddenly felt like he and his father were idiots.
He was under the impression that he could use Jessica’s money, but it turned out that his family had been under her watchful eye and that they were plain scoundrels.
Chairman Lennox was so infuriated that his face flushed red. “In that case, why are you only telling US now?”
“As I said, you can be ambitious or greedy. I like to have people like that in Snow Corporation, but I dislike being turned against.” Jessica added frostily, “In fact, Harold is quite capable. He’ll go great even after he leaves the company, but he knows best whether to resign or get kicked out like his cousin after the restructure of the company.”
After a long, awkward silence, Harold held his fists tightly. “I got it. I’ll hand in my resignation letter.”
“Great.” Jessica sat in her chair again.
Harold took a deep breath before he finally asked, “I have one more question. I’m no worse than Forrest, and I’m indeed ambitious. But isn’t Forrest ambitious too?”
“Do you think I’d be interested in him if he were ambitious?” Jessica asked with her brows raised.
Harold was left in a daze for a moment before he laughed at himself.
He could not believe that he actually thought of manipulating Jessica. He was really muddle -headed, what a crazy dream he had.
Jessica was the most terrifying woman he had ever come across.
Chairman Lennox also gave up.
He thought he was setting a trap for Jessica, but unbeknownst to himself, he was the one trapped instead.
Before they left, Jessica said, “By the way, I don’t hope for anyone to learn about our conversation today, otherwise… Chairman Lennox, I’ll decide how much bonus the Lennox family can get from the company next time.”
Chairman Lennox shuddered, and he grasped her point. Not only did she plant a spy in his house, but she also had spies in other directors ‘ houses. “Jessica, it looks like your so-called resignation is just a facade.”
“I’ll resign, since my dad wants to go back to his company, I’m willing to play along.
Having said that, I’ll forever have the final say in Snow Corporation. Do you understand?” Jessica said softly.
“Jessica, you win.” chairman Lennox forced a smile before he left.
Jessica had not only deceived the Snow family but everyone else as well.
At 5:00 p.m., Forrest drove to pick Jessica up.
As it was Jessica’s first time visiting the Lynch family’s villa, she was rather nervous. “Will your parents like me?”
“You’re wonderful.” Forrest held her hand firmly and said self-righteously, “I’m here.”
Even though his words were brief, they boosted Jessica’s confidence.
Forget it. If she had the audacity to force Forrest to marry her, why should she be afraid of meeting his parents?
After arriving at the Lynch family’s villa, Jessica shot a look at the garden. The villa was not as spacious as the Snow family’s residence, but the plants were all neatly trimmed. There was even a piece of land at the corner of the garden used for planting vegetables and fruits.
“This will be your home from now on,” Forrest reminded her with a low voice.
Jessica lifted her head and glanced at him in astonishment.
“If you give birth to our child in the future, it’ll be more convenient for you to stay here. That way, our child can be taken care of.” Forrest secretly thought that Dani would have someone to play with as well.
“You’re really thinking far ahead.” Jessica teased him.
“I’m not young anymore,” Forrest reminded her.
Jessica immediately fell silent, she was quite eager to have a child too.
After marrying Forrest, she had not been using protection. Given that they had been doing it quite often, they might…
Somehow, she became absent-minded and subconsciously touched her belly.
