Chapter 2542
No one knew that putting a ring on Jessica’s ring finger was the dream Forrest craved the most in his youth.
Today, he finally did it.
“It looks nice.” Jessica looked at the ring for some time. “You weren’t the one who chose this, right? Your taste isn’t
this good.”
“..My sister chose it.” Forrest looked at her profoundly and added, “I have quite a good eye.”
Jessica understood the meaning behind his words, so she deliberately said, “Is that true? That wasn’t what you said
before.”
“I was stupid.”
Jessica could not resist curving the corners of her lips into a smile. Only then did she notice that Forrest was also
wearing a men’s ring on his finger.
Not bad. He even knew how to announce his martried status to everyone else.

Forrest’s hand on the steering wheel almost slipped, and his handsome face heated up. He shifted the gear to “P”
and went over to kiss her without holding back.
Jessica always had a way of making him lose control so easily.
They were still on the road, so Forrest did not dare to be so wild. After kissing her for a while, he held her hand and
looked at her deep in the eyes, asking, “Come home with me when you have the time, okay?”
He meant the Lynch family’s house.
Jessica was stunned for a few seconds before she nodded. “Okay.”
“You’re agreeing to it so fast?” Forrest was surprised.
“The ugly daughter-in-law is bound to meet her parents-in-law sooner or later.” Jessica sighed. “I’m just curious.
Why are you bringing me to the Lynch family so soon?”
“I met the Childs family during dinner today.” Forrest did not keep anything from her. “I’m not sure how they found
out about our relationship. I never told anyone...”
In other words, the news was leaked from Jessica’s side.
She quickly ran through it in her head. Only her parents and Harold on her side knew about the marriage. Her
parents were prideful, so they would not say anything for the time being. The only person left was...
“Are you suspecting Harold?”
“It depends on whether you told anyone else on your side.” Forrest meant that if Jessica had not told anyone else, it
was probably Harold. “Harold definitely likes you.”
“What did the Childs family say to you?” Jessica was curious.
Forrest cleared his throat awkwardly. “They said I was supposed to marry their daughter, but I left her as soon as I
got together with you. They wanted me to ask you to put the Childs family in the Snow Corporation’s hydroelectric
project in the north, or else they’ ll spread the news of their daughter and me. They probably want to ruin our
reputation. I don’t care about my reputation, but will your parents mistake me for a man with a low social status
trying to claw his way to success? Why don’t... you explain it to your parents that you were the one who forced me
to marry you?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I’ve already told my parents early on, but they don’t believe it,” Jessica said with a laugh. Forrest was speechless,
but he understood. After all, who would believe it? To the outsiders, Jessica was of such a prominent identity. The
Lynch family was not lacking either, but when compared to Jessica...
Having a wife who was too capable was also frustrating.
“The Childs family has a good plan,” Jessica said suddenly. “The hydroelectric project is out of the ordinary. If the
partnership establishes, the Childs family will be able to earn billions of dollars without even doing anything. More
importantly, the Childs family can turn their reputation around through this project. More and more businesses and
individuals will invest in the Childs family’s investment company when that time comes. But, never mind. No one
else knows about you and Stacey’s engagement except your family and hers, and there’s no marriage certificate
either. He can say all he wants to. There’s no evidence anyway.”
“..When I canceled the engagement, I gave Stacey two shopfronts.” Forrest lowered his gaze out of guilt. “I wanted
to repay her for saving me.”
Jessica blinked her eyes in astonishment. She had not cared what happened afterward, so she knew nothing about
such a thing.
“Ahem.Wifey...” Seeing that Jessica went silent, Forrest became flustered. “Are you angry? I wanted to compensate
her once and for all so that the Childs family won’t be able to pester me anymore.”
