“No.” Stacey explained with reddened eyes, “ It was Jessica. She met my dad this morning. President Lynch, my dad

was really muddle- headed. If I had known about it, I would’ve stopped him with all my might. However, he had no

choice either. The company hasn’t been doing well lately, and there are so many employees waiting for their

salaries. He just wanted to bet on it...”

Previously, Forrest had a neutral impression of Stacey. Her parents may be problematic, but she could not do

anything about her parents.

However, upon listening to her words, Forrest slapped the documents in his hand heavily on the table. He scolded

her fiercely, “Your dad received a huge discount, but he didn’t care about the investors’ money. The investors kept

suffering losses, but you were gaining a lot of profit. Now that everything is exposed, you’re pushing all the

responsibilities on Jessica. How could you, the Childs family, be so shameless?”

The man’s sharp gaze made Stacey’s eyes tremble. She desperately wanted to dig a hole and hide. “President

Lynch, most investment companies aren’t exactly standing on legal grounds. Even Lynch Corporation...”

“Don’t compare the Childs family to Lynch Corporation,” Forrest said annoyedly. “We're doing business. Every penny

we earn rightfully belongs to the company, unlike your family’s investment company which has no bottom limits.

You treat the investors, Jessica, and me as fools. Don’t beg me either, Stacey. You should be grateful for what you

have. How noble is your identity even? Taking 100 million dollars in return for a broken leg isn’t enough for you. You

guys are utterly greedy.” Stacey was on the verge of crying from getting scolded. “But it’s a fact that I like you. If it

weren’t for my parents back then, I would’ve gotten married to you. I didn’t expect you to find someone with a

higher status. It’s natural that you’d no longer fancy a lady like me. I’m just begging you to let our family off the

hook. Take it as if I never saved you. Our family won't look for you anymore.”

Forrest’s gaze turned grim. He no longer concealed the contempt in his eyes. “Stacey Childs, I don’t owe you

anything anymore.

Besides, I agreed to marry you back then because your parents were overtly and secretly forcing me to do so. I

don’t like you at all. To be honest, rescuing someone is good, but I only saw your family prioritizing benefits. I was

unlucky to have you save me back then.”

After speaking, he immediately called security and asked them to send Stacey out.

“Don’t let this person come to my office anymore in the future.” He gave a strict order. Stacey burst into tears out

of disbelief.

If it were any other man, he might still feel slight sympathy.

However, Forrest was annoyed from the bottom of his heart.

He took his phone and called Jessica. “Were you the one behind the Childs family’s incident?”

“Mm.” The woman’s lazy voice rang. Jessica smiled. “You’re not trying to ask for favors for your savior, right?”



“Do I have nothing better to do?” Forrest’s expression went cold. “Stacey came to look for me just now. It was good

that I didn’t marry her back then.”

“Since she came to plead with you, did she mention anything about returning the storefronts to you?” Jessica

asked.

“No.” Forrest frowned. “I’ve already given those two storefronts away. I don’t want her to drag on the issue of her

saving me anymore.”

“You don’t, but I do.” Jessica let out a hmph. “ Don’t forget that I’m your wife right now. Your assets are my assets

too. I have the right to get them back. Since they’re so greedy, they shouldn’t get anything. Her saving you can be

handled as a workplace injury. It’s enough to just compensate a few hundred thousand dollars to her. You made

things too complicated from the start.”

“ we?

What could Forrest do after getting scolded by his wife? He could only admit his mistakes honestly. “I?ll do as you

say.”

“You should stop handling this matter. If she wants to return the storefronts, she can return them to me directly. If

she returns them sooner, I might even show them some mercy.”

Jessica tsked.

“Okay.” Forrest’s gaze was gentle. “I’m going back to the Lynch family’s house for dinner tonight and to tell my

parents about our relationship. I’ll bring you to my house tomorrow.”

“That’s so soon...” Jessica was shocked. She, who was not afraid of anything, suddenly felt a little nervous. “Your

parents probably won’t accept me.”

“I’ll solve that problem.”

Forrest consoled her. He already had an idea.
