“….”
The air was filled with an eerie silence for a while. Then, Harold suddenly touched his forehead and
laughed as though he had heard the most absurd joke in the world.
After he was done laughing, he turned his eyes to Jessica. “Jessica, are you insane?”
“Im not.” On the contrary, Jessica thought that Forrest might have gone insane.
Before yesterday, Forrest shunned his identity. Yet now, he was happy to reveal it publicly. Things had
gone utterly out of her control.
Harold rose to his feet with a tense, angry expression on his face. “No, Jessica. I think you’re no longer
sensible. Are there no other men in the world that the Snows only want to be with the Lynches? Your
parents can’t possibly agree with it. This is absurd.”
“How is this absurd? We’ re not related by blood either,” Forrest refuted coldly. “What’s more, this affair
is between the Lynches and the Snows. It has nothing to do with the Lennox family.”
If a gaze could kill, Harold must have killed Forrest several times.
Harold turned his gaze to Jessica. “Jessica, I’m saying these things to you only because I treat you as
my friend. Don’t let him con you. After all, it’s not easy for you to have come this far.”
After that, he said, “I’ll take my leave now and leave the both of you alone.”
He had to question the Snow family about it when he got back later. He believed that the Snow family
would not be able to accept it either.
It exasperated him that all his plans were destroyed.
He had never thought that Jessica would have such poor taste. To think she would be interested in a
lowly man from a place like Melbourne but not him.
It was true that Lynch Corporation was developing well. Even so, Forrest was nothing, considering the
place he came from.
Moreover, Lynch Corporation would not have come so far if the Lynch family’s daughter had not
managed to butter up the prime minister’s son.
Harold did not expect the Lynch family to be so greedy that they even had their son curry favor with
Jessica.
It was way too ludicrous.
The moment the door slammed, Forrest snorted. “ How bold of your colleague to slam the door of your
house. It seems like he doesn’t only want to be your colleague. He wants to be the owner of this place.”
Jessica frowned. In fact, she was aware of Harold’s intentions, but she did not expose him. After all,
they still had to work together in private. Harold was triggered probably because the news was too
sudden. It was rare to seea manipulative person like him lose control of himself.
“ think you’re quite bold too.”
Now that only the two of them were left, Jessica glanced at Forrest huffily. “Forrest, since you hate me,
we should keep our marriage affair between us. By disclosing it, are you trying to complicate things
further?”
“Yeah. If we keep it a secret, it’ll be too easy to get married and get a divorce.”
Forrest stared at her coldly. “Are you treating marriage as a game just because you were once
married? Jessica, let me tell you that this is my first marriage. Marriage isn’t a joke to me.” Jessica was
dumbfounded. “I’m not treating it as a game. I’m just worried that I’ll lose my life if I continue to get
along with you. Perhaps it wasa careless decision for us to get married.”
Her last sentence prickled Forrest’s heart like a needle.
He leaped to his feet with his cold but handsome face. “Jessica, listen carefully. Even if you find the
decision careless, we’re already married, and nothing in the world can cure regrets. Don’t ever force
me to divorce you. If you dare, I’ll go to your old residence and question your parents in front of you. Do
you think the Lynch family’s children are pushovers? All the Snows want to bully the Lynches. First,
your brother let my sister down, and now, even you want to trick me.”
