Chapter 2540

Mr. Childs said lazily, “If you’re unwilling to help me out, I’ll have no choice but to tell people that you
dissolved your marriage with my daughter to be a social climber. Your transfer of the shopfront is the
best evidence.
Do you think everyone in Canberra will think highly of you then? You might not care about other
people’s views, but if this reaches the Snow family’s ear, they’ll think that you’re scheming and that you
want to play up to them. Plus, if Jessica snatches someone’s man, I’m afraid it’ll be an embarrassment
to her too.”

Forrest had met many despicable people in his life.

Nevertheless, he had never met a wealthy family as despicable as the Childs.

He initially wanted to return the favor to Stacey by providing her with two storefronts, but he had never
thought that the storefronts would end up as a tool for them to threaten him.

Sure enough, he should not have been kind.
“Okay. I’ll go back and discuss it with Jessica. Having said that, I have no idea if I’m powerful enough to
make this work. After all, as you Said, all I have is looks. There are many more men who look better
than me.”
Forrest ended the sentence impassively before turning around and leaving.

Mr. Childs was dumbfounded, while Mrs. Childs asked in a panic, “What does he mean? What if
Jessica is unwilling to do it?”

Mr. Childs snorted. “How dare the Eldest Young Lady of the Snow family snatch someone’s man? I
refuse to believe she’d rather lose her dignity.”

“That might be true too, but if we don’t follow …” Mrs. Childs got a little anxious. “Will he be offended?”





Mr. Childs got a fright. However, when he thought about the large project, he said coldly, “If Forrest
refuses to listen to us, we’ll follow what that person said. Although he made us a verbal promise, his
benefits wouldn’t outweigh what we get from that project. Now that Jessica has left Snow Corporation,
she’ ll surely spend a long time arguing with her father and probably agree with our conditions. After all,
as the Eldest Young Lady of the Snow family, will she be unbothered about her dignity for snatching
someone’s man?” “That’s true. As long as we can work together with Snow Corporation on that project,
we can easily earn over one billion dollars. By then, the Childs family can progress further, and when
we have money, things will go smoothly.”

After the birthday party ended, Forrest was the first to take his leave.

Even though the Childs family had threatened him, he was not concerned about his reputation. It was
up to the others to comment on him, and the comments would not stop him from earning money.

The only concern he had was that the Snow family would not be able to accept Jessica being with him.

Her parents might find it shameful as well. However, the matter was a little odd. How did the Childs
family know that Forrest was in a relationship with Jessica?

Could it be the Snow family who spread it? Or… was it Harold?

Forrest was more suspicious of Harold.

With that, he drove to Snow Corporation. Jessica had to work overnight today. As the day for her to
leave the company was nearing, there was more work to hand over.

Only after Forrest waited at the parking lot for half an hour did Jessica show up.



“You didn’t have to come and pick me up on purpose. I can drive home on my own.” She opened the
car door with a smile on her ice-cold face.
