Chapter 2530

Seeing that Jessica did not waver, the fury in Harold’s heart roared. However, he could not show it.
“Jessica, think about it properly. No matter what, I’ve always hoped for you to lead a good life. Wait until
you see Forrest’s true colors. If you regret it, you can look for me anytime. I’ll always help you.”

“Okay.”

Jessica nodded. She did not ask for a reason. She did not even seem to have the mood to know
further.

It was as if Harold’s passionate feelings were poured into cold water. He felt especially powerless.

“I still have a lot of things to do…” Jessica reminded him that she was busy.
Harold held it in. He turned and walked toward the door. Then, he took a deep breath and turned back
again. “Jessica, I don’t believe you can’t feel my feelings for you. In the past, the Lennox family couldn’t
help you when you got married to Jordan. I didn’t have the right back then. But I’ve been waiting for you
all these years.”

Jessica’s slender figure sank into the leather seat. Her pretty, deep-set eyes were calm as if she had
not just heard a man confessing to her. “Harold, I’m aware of your feelings. However, I’ve never
expressed any ambiguity to you. If I had wanted something to happen between us, I would’ve accepted
your feelings long ago. But I didn’t. We’re both smart people. You should understand.”
“I thought it was because you were busy. I’m willing to keep waiting for you,” Harold whispered.
“Besides, you were entirely focused on your career. I admit that you have a great career, but you’re still
a beginner in relationships…” “Thank you for viewing me that way.”

Jessica’s lips curved slightly. “However, I already had a boyfriend whom I dated for a few years when I
was studying abroad. After returning, I got married once. I believe that I’m clear about my feelings.
Besides, a wise person wouldn’t look for a man who’s a colleague from the same company or the same
industry to be her boyfriend.”





Harold frowned. He forced a smile and said, “ Jessica, what do you mean? Don’t you trust me? We’ve
known each other for many years.”

Jessica raised her eyebrows. “Harold, there’s no partner who can be trusted fully in the business world.
For example, if I make you my husband, I’ll be worried about whether you’ll steal my power when I’m
weak if I were to get pregnant in the future since you’re so capable. When the children of two directors
marry each other, I’1] also worry about whether one party’s ambitions will grow bigger. No one can ever
figure out a person’s ambitions.”

‘Jessica, I’m not that kind of person.” Harold could not maintain his expression. He even broke out in a
cold sweat under Jessica’s sharp gaze. “If you don’t believe me, I can resign too.”

“Even if you resign, I’ll never be with you.” Jessica was indifferent throughout. “Harold, don’t disturb my
work, okay? My husband is still waiting for me downstairs.”

Harold could no longer remain there. He slammed the door and left.

Jessica narrowed her eyes. She utterly hated people slamming the door in front of her.

It was Harold’s second time doing that on that day.

He truly was not aware of his identity.

In the evening, Jessica went downstairs using the private elevator with her bag in her hand.

She saw the Porsche parked at the side immediately.

Forrest spotted her too. He quickly got down from the car and opened the door. Then, his gaze traveled
from her face and downward until… “Where are you looking at?” Jessica glared at him viciously. She



got in the car and slammed the door shut.

Forrest scratched his nose. He could understand her. She had just lost her job, and her wound had not
recovered. It was normal for her to have a bad temper.

The more he thought about it, the guiltier he felt. He got in the driver’s seat hurriedly, but he did not
start driving immediately. Instead, he sat solemnly and stared at Jessica.
