“Why are you doing this?”
Forrest’s eyes were sharp. His forbearing tone revealed a rage that seemed to be able to tear her apart
in the next moment. “Jessica Snow, I know you’re very powerful now, but you can’t bully people to this
extent. Rodney had it coming to him. He was the one who discredited and hurt Freya. He ignorantly
went against the executive council-“
“It’s not because of Rodney. I’m not that unreasonable.”
Jessica interrupted him. Her pretty eyelashes lifted upward slightly as she said, “I heard you’re getting
married?”
Forrest suddenly froze.
An absurd reason flashed through his mind. “You’re doing this because I’m getting married?”
“You can’t marry Stacey Childs.” Jessica pursed her delicate lips and spoke word by word, “Marry me
and I’ll let Lynch Corporation go.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Forrest fiercely tugged her arm and pulled her up from the chair.
She was caught off guard. Her head hit his cold, hard chest painfully.
However, before she could react, Forrest’s cold words rang out mercilessly. “Jessica Snow, you’re still
the president of Snow Corporation. I’ve never seen a person like you forcing anyone to marry you. Are
you that short of men? Are you that shameless?”
He was really furious.
In the past, when their relationship was at its best and they decided to return to talk about marriage,
she was the one who refused.
Now, when he wanted to start his life again, she used despicable means to try to pull him back again.
Forrest had been proud all his life. All the embarrassment he had ever faced was caused by her.
He was a living person, not a dog.
Was he supposed to come when she called and leave when she told him to go?
Jessica took a deep breath with difficulty. Her pretty face was slightly pale.
This was why she did not make a decision immediately after listening to Ryan’s advice.
That was because she understood that once she took action, Forrest would definitely humiliate her with
unpleasant words.
She did not care if others scolded her, but she would be in pain if he scolded her.
However, compared to the pain of him belonging to someone else, this pain right now was nothing.
“The decision lies in your hands.”
She spoke lightly, “I’m quite close acquaintances with the chairman of Sharon Company, and Sharon
Company is your company’s largest client after expanding. If the outside world hears that Sharon
Company and Inez Corporation have canceled their contracts with you because of your product quality,
Lynch Corporation will collapse swiftly like an avalanche. There’s also your shipping company…”
“Enough.”
The more Forrest listened, the tighter his grip grew.
Jessica closed her eyes in pain.
Forrest sneered coldly. “Jessica, if I could turn back time, I’d rather have never met you in the States.
You’re too ruthless. I can’t afford to mess with you at all.”
“I like you, Forrest. I just want you to come back to me.”
Jessica’s heart hurt so much that she could not breathe, but she could only tell the truth.
“The one you like is yourself.”‘ Forrest’s eyes were mocking. “Would you still have wanted to come
back to me if your husband hadn’t died? Did you forget how you told me that I was from a small place
and wasn’t worthy of you?”
“I was forced to say that so that you would leave me, and I was afraid…”
“Even if you’re the most powerful and influential woman in the whole country now, you’re just used
goods. Do you think I’ll take a fancy to you?”
Forrest’s cold and piercing words sounded. “Listen closely, Jessica. Women who try to come back will
always be worthless. Even if you force me to marry you, I’ll never love you. On the contrary, I’ll only
hate you.”
Jessica froze as her face grew ashen.
“Let me give you a piece of advice. What happened between us is in the past. Don’t try to threaten me
with Lynch Corporation,” Forrest said word by word. “The things between us won’t pass that easily.
Putting aside what happened to us, do you remember what you did to Freya in the past? She doesn’t
care about that anymore, but as her brother, I’ve never forgotten about it.”
