Chapter 2540
Mr. Childs said lazily, “If you’re unwilling to help me out, I’ll have no choice but to tell people that you dissolved your
marriage with my daughter to be a social climber. Your transfer of the shopfront is the best evidence.
Do you think everyone in Canberra will think highly of you then? You might not care about other people’s views, but
if this reaches the Snow family’s ear, they’ll think that you’re scheming and that you want to play up to them. Plus,
if Jessica snatches someone’s man, I’m afraid it'll be an embarrassment to her too.”
Forrest had met many despicable people in his life.
Nevertheless, he had never met a wealthy family as despicable as the Childs.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe initially wanted to return the favor to Stacey by providing her with two storefronts, but he had never thought
that the storefronts would end up as a tool for them to threaten him.
Sure enough, he should not have been kind.
“Okay. I'll go back and discuss it with Jessica. Having said that, I have no idea if I’m powerful enough to make this
work. After all, as you Said, all I have is looks. There are many more men who look better than me.”
Forrest ended the sentence impassively before turning around and leaving.
Mr. Childs was dumbfounded, while Mrs. Childs asked in a panic, “What does he mean? What if Jessica is unwilling to
do it?”
Mr. Childs snorted. “How dare the Eldest Young Lady of the Snow family snatch someone’s man? I refuse to believe
she’d rather lose her dignity.”
“That might be true too, but if we don’t follow ...” Mrs. Childs got a little anxious. “Will he be offended?”
Mr. Childs got a fright. However, when he thought about the large project, he said coldly, “If Forrest refuses to listen
to us, we’ll follow what that person said. Although he made us a verbal promise, his benefits wouldn’t outweigh
what we get from that project. Now that Jessica has left Snow Corporation, she’ ll surely spend a long time arguing
with her father and probably agree with our conditions. After all, as the Eldest Young Lady of the Snow family, will
she be unbothered about her dignity for snatching someone’s man?” “That’s true. As long as we can work together
with Snow Corporation on that project, we can easily earn over one billion dollars. By then, the Childs family can
progress further, and when we have money, things will go smoothly.”
After the birthday party ended, Forrest was the first to take his leave.
Even though the Childs family had threatened him, he was not concerned about his reputation. It was up to the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmothers to comment on him, and the comments would not stop him from earning money.
The only concern he had was that the Snow family would not be able to accept Jessica being with him.
Her parents might find it shameful as well. However, the matter was a little odd. How did the Childs family know
that Forrest was in a relationship with Jessica?
Could it be the Snow family who spread it? Or... was it Harold?
Forrest was more suspicious of Harold.
With that, he drove to Snow Corporation. Jessica had to work overnight today. As the day for her to leave the
company was nearing, there was more work to hand over.
Only after Forrest waited at the parking lot for half an hour did Jessica show up.
“You didn’t have to come and pick me up on purpose. I can drive home on my own.” She opened the car door with
a smile on her ice-cold face.
