Chapter 2544
Mr. Childs turned his body. “This cafe serves good breakfast. Do you want to go in and have a seat, Miss Snow?”
“No. Let’s just talk here.”
Jessica did not step out. Her gaze was cold even though they were separated by a window. “I heard you wish to join
Snow Corporation’s hydroelectric project?”
“Yes.” Mr. Childs was elated. Sure enough, they were about to talk about that matter. “ Our company has funds
amounting to two billion dollars. Don’t worry, Miss Snow. We won’t meddle in anything. We’ll only invest our money.
It’s fine as long as we receive our share of the profit after the project ends. It won’t affect you in any way.
“Indeed, there are no major impacts.” Jessica did not even raise her head. She simply toyed with her sunglasses.
“By participating in a project that’s supported by the government, not only will the Childs family surely profit from it,
but you can even establish yourself within the industry and salvage your reputation after the project is successful.
After all, the Childs family’s investment company’s reputation hasn’t been very good these few years. The loans

loans haven’t been going well. You must’ve used all the assets from the company's finances to be able to invest two
billion dollars this time.”
Jessica had hit the nail on the head. Mr. Childs felt slightly awkward. “Sure enough, you’re well-informed. However,
this doesn’t affect you in any way. It doesn’t matter as long as our money is in place.”
“But...” Jessica paused. Her cold gaze landed on him. “I hate being threatened the most.” Mr. Childs stiffened. He
forced out a smile and said, “It doesn’t count as a threat. It’s a win- win situation. After all, Forrest really intended to
marry my daughter at first.”
Jessica laughed. “It’s interesting that you can make wanting something in return from helping others sound so
justifiable. Does your daughter know this? She just has a broken leg. There’ll be a small scar on her leg, but
aesthetic medicine is advanced nowadays. Scars can be entirely removed just by spending 100,000 dollars or so.
However, Forrest compensated you with storefronts worth nearly 100 million dollars. But your greed is insatiable
and you even want more. What did Harold tell you?”
Color drained from Mr. Childs’ face. “I don’t know what you’ re talking about.”
“If it isn’t Harold, then it must be Director Lennox. Anyway, it’s someone from the Lennox family.”
Jessica said nonchalantly, “Let me guess. The Lennox family must’ve promised you some benefits. They asked you
to spread the news of your daughter and Forrest almost getting engaged in order to make the public think that
Forrest is a scumbag who dumped your daughter without hesitation to get together with me. That way, Forrest’s
reputation will be ruined, and I’ll also be embarrassed. The Snow family will do all they can to stop him from being
together with me as well.” “Miss Snow, I really don’t understand a thing.” Mr. Childs forced out a grin.
“You changed your mind at the last minute, right?” Jessica suddenly said, “You obtained such important information.
The Lennox family may have promised you benefits, but the benefits you’d get from blackmailing me were better.
Therefore, you found Forrest to threaten me. If it were Harold, he wouldn’t have told you to do so. That’s because
only he and a few people in my family know about my relationship with Forrest. Since you got the information, isn’t
it obvious that it’s the Lennox family who told you about it?”
Mr. Childs broke out in a cold sweat. People said that Jessica was extremely smart. He did not believe it before, but
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhe did at that moment. He believed it so much that he felt fear.
“Miss Snow, you’re so wise,” Mr. Childs said sheepishly. “Look, if I had followed the Lennox family’s orders, the
whole of Canberra would know about it and talk about it. You might not even be able to find out where the rumor
leaked out from.”
“So, you’re saying that I should thank you?” Jessica raised her eyebrows teasingly.
“Can we... join hands?” Mr. Childs wanted to curry favor. “I can help you to testify against the Lennox family.”
“You might not know me that well yet.” Jessica’s gaze turned cold. “You can say anything you want. I don’t care.
However, you should consider whether your company can last through this month. Oh, don’t even think about
escaping overseas with your money. I’ve already informed others. It’ll be impossible.”
Mr. Childs was shocked. His body trembled. “ Miss Snow, what do you mean by this?”
“The person who blackmailed me the last time has already gone bankrupt. Do you understand now?” Jessica’s eyes
were void of warmth. “I really hate people blackmailing me. I’m not afraid of threats. It’s good that your daughter
saved someone, but your family keeps holding onto that gratitude and utilizing it. This time, it’s a project. What will
it be next time? Eliminating problems by their roots is the best way. If you regret it, remember to return the
storefronts. Since you aren’t satisfied, you should just not take anything.”
