“We went golfing with Director Lennox and met him and his son. You know that Harold has always liked
you.”
Jessica gave a noncommittal response.
She knew better than anyone else whether Harold liked her or her identity.
“Mom, don’t spread any news about my marriage for now,” Jessica reminded calmly.
An hour later, Carson heard the news and rushed back. When he saw Jessica, his expression
crumpled up. “Sis, why did I hear that you’re resigning? Oh my gosh, this can’t be possible.” “It’s true.
Come to my office in the next few days. I’ll hand over my work to you,” Jessica said indifferently. “You
should familiarize yourself with the people in the office as soon as possible, but don’t be too panicked.
Dad will come back too. You and Dad will be managing Snow Corporation together.”
Carson widened his eyes in disbelief. “Stop joking around. You’ve only just obtained Snow Corporation
after putting in so much effort back then. Are you letting go so easily? Sis, what happened to you? Did
you fight with Mom and Dad?”
Jessica did not admit nor deny it. She simply smirked noncommittally. “What’s so good about sitting in
this position? I worked like a dog for Snow Corporation. I clocked in early and went back late, yet I keep
being questioned by people. I don’t even have any freedom. I’m not even sure whether the pursuers
around me like me for who I am or my identity. I’ve figured everything out. Rather than this, I should just
step down. I have the company’s shares anyway. It’l] be enough for me to take the dividends every
year. I’m tired too, and I haven’t been in good health lately. Carson, you must manage Snow
Corporation well in the future.”
Carson was dumbfounded by Jessica’s words. He became flustered. “Sis, don’t go. I’ll talk to Mom and
Dad. I can’t do this. The directors aren’t easy opponents, and my abilities are limited…”
He was well aware of his abilities. Ever since he was young, he knew that the company would not fall
into his hands as there were Rodney and Jessica. As such, he went through life without putting much
effort into his career.
Moreover, it was great that he could relax at work every day, go on dates, get dividends effortlessly,
and lead a worry-free life.
“Carson, Mom and Dad have always had high hopes for you. Don’t disappoint them. I’m only a woman,
after all. Using Grandpa’s words, women will end up getting married anyway.”
Jessica walked to Carson’s side and patted his shoulder. She said sincerely, “Snow Corporation will be
relying on you in the future.”
“…”
Carson did not want it. Could he not just have an easy life?
News that Snow Corporation had internal strife soon got out. When evening came, even the news
outlets were focused on that issue.
After all, Snow Corporation was one of Australia’s strongest businesses. It had tens of thousands of
employees under it. Even a slight movement could affect the business world.
News that Snow Corporation’s president had resigned quickly got on the list of hot searches. Ryan
contacted Jessica soon after. “Are you really resigning? Or is it just an act?”
“Nothing can escape you, indeed.” Jessica smiled. “My parents found out about Forrest and me.
They’re worried that Forrest is targeting Snow Corporation, so they made me put on this act. If Forrest
passes this test, they’ll accept him.” “Uncle is overthinking. The Lynch family are prideful people. They
won’t have those thoughts at all.” Ryan found it ironic. “Well, they don’t really know Forrest well. You
should understand their concerns.”
“That’s why I respect them. Besides, I have my plans too.”
“You’re copying my method, right?” Ryan teased. “I resigned for Freya too previously. It moved her
deeply. Forrest and Freya are siblings. Tsk, he’ll be so touched this time as well. You’re even letting
Snow Corporation go for his sake. Won’t he definitely fall head over heels for you?”
Jessica was taken aback. “I’ve never thought about that. Firstly, I’ve been too tired these days and I
want to have a proper rest. Secondly, I want to train Carson. He can’t keep going on like this. Thirdly,
Harold knows that Forrest and I have gotten married. The Lennox father and son won’t let this slide. I’m
fine with it, but I’m just afraid they’ ll use tricks.”
Ryan was astonished. “Harold? Aren’t you on good terms with him?”
