When the Santana driver and his friends saw Forrest’s Porsche, they were stunned. How f*cking rich were the couple for them to drive a Bentley and a Porsche?“Sir, you’re so rich…” The driver’s lips twitched shyly.“This is my assistant’s business card. You can directly contact him regarding the car accident.”Forrest tossed a business card into the driver’s hand and warned, “Don’t you dare play any tricks.”The driver looked down at the business card in his hand, which read ‘General Manager of Levine Law Firm, Christian Cave’.The fact that Forrest could get the business card of a general manager from a law firm proved that his identity must be extraordinary. After taking a glimpse at Forrest’s cold expression and tall figure, the driver subconsciously felt afraid. “Well… it’s just our private matter. There’s no need to get a lawyer to settle this.”“But it hit me that talking sense to people like you won’t work.”Then, Forrest turned around and got in the car. After starting t
After Forrest parked his car, he entered his apartment furiously.The apartment was in complete silence, and only when he walked to his bedroom did he hear the sound of water pattering in the bathroom.Jessica was taking a shower inside. After she came back, she had realized that her jacket was drenched from the rain. She had also heard the footsteps outside the door, knowing that Forrest had returned.She quickly showered. However, she did not expect that the door of the bathroom would suddenly kick open, and Forrest barged in with a look as cold as the wind in the winter. Not only was she embarrassed, but she also shuddered in spite of herself.“Forrest, get out. I–”Before she could finish her sentence, Forrest pushed her to the cold wall and kissed her madly.She was dazed. By the time she came to her senses, she shoved him away. “What are you doing? I’m in the shower.”“I want to check on you.” Forrest pinched her chin firmly, his eyes fiery.“What?”Jessica widened her e
Jessica could not understand why Forrest would think that she was at another man’s house.She admitted that she had lied to him, but it was all because he tortured her so badly. Anyway, she was back home now.“Say something. Is it because I’ve gotten it right and you can’t refute what I’m saying?” Forrest asked aggressively.“Forrest, you b*stard.” Jessica was too exhausted to argue with him anymore.She slid down the bed with difficulty and used the bedsheet to cover her body. However, her legs were trembling in pain. It felt as though she would pass out the next moment.“Where are you going?”Forrest gripped her wrist. “I’m asking you. Where are you going at this hour? Are you going to look for that man?”“You’re crazy.”Jessica could no longer stand him. Every word of his resembled a knife that pierced through her chest. “Forrest, to you, am I a shameless, despicable woman without a moral baseline? Is it because I forced you to marry me? Please think about it. If I wanted to
Jessica looked at her suitcase on the floor.Deep down, she felt an indescribable sense of exhaustion.After working overnight and entertaining Chairman Lennox, she was met with an accident and drenched in the rain. Instead of getting some rest when she got home, she was tortured for a long time. Not only was she exhausted, but she did not feel good as well.In fact, her health had always been alright. However, she had not had proper rest in the past few days, so she was certain that she was going to fall sick the next day.“Okay. I won’t take my suitcase away, but can I go to the hospital?”Jessica lifted her head and asked him, “Or do I still need to serve you with my bleeding body? I’m sorry, but I’m worried that I’ll die of exhaustion on the bed. You probably won’t feel heartbroken even if I die anyway. But if I die on your bed, you might have to go to jail. If you don’t think for yourself, you should do it for your parents and sister.”She looked at him composedly. In her
…Once Jessica returned to her old house, she texted her secretary to inform her that she would take a day off today and that her secretary could come to look for her at her house if there was anything important.After a shower, Jessica went back to her bed and slept.She did not know how long she had slept when she was awakened by the sound of the doorbell.She sat up with difficulty, only to find that her legs hurt when she bent them. It hurt so much that it felt as though something had tore.When she finally put on her clothes and walked to the door to open it, she saw her secretary, Luna, and Harold.Harold was holding some food in one hand and flowers in another. He asked with concern, “Luna said you're sick, so I came over to visit you. How are you feeling?”As he was speaking, he stretched out his hand to touch Jessica’s forehead.“I’m fine.” Jessica shunned him with a frown.Harold was a little embarrassed with his hand freezing in mid-air. Upon seeing that scene, Luna
Harold studied Jessica for a short moment. Seeing that she insisted, he nodded. “Alright then. But I hope you’ll contact me if there are any problems. You’re the company’s president after all. Nothing can happen to you.”“Mm.”After putting down her signature, Jessica told the secretary to take the documents and leave with Harold. She truly needed a proper rest.…Lynch Corporation.Forrest stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, his gaze locked on the never-ending stretch of traffic below. The messy scenes from last time kept replaying in his mind. He felt agony and confusion as he recalled the memories. He was in disbelief that he, who had always been calm and restrained, would be so extreme and crazy last night. He even acted like a lunatic and made Jessica bleed. However, could he be blamed for it?If Jessica did not lie to him, if she had kept her distance from other men, if she did not force him into marriage, he might not have become that way.Neverthele
Forrest pursed his lips together. After some time, he said, “It’s Jessica’s car.”“It’s her? When did you two…” Christian was shocked. He knew Forrest from when they were studying abroad back then. Although they were not in the same course, they had joined the university’s rugby team. Since they were both Australians, they became good friends. After returning to Australia, most of Lynch Corporation’s cases were handed over to Christian to be in charge. He was also one of the witnesses to Forrest and Jessica’s past relationship. Christian would never forget that on the day Jessica got married, he had accompanied Forrest to drink all night.Forrest was so drunk and incoherent. Christian even witnessed Forrest, a man, bawling. After that, Forrest never mentioned that woman again. However, Christian knew that he was thoroughly hurt. Forrest hated Jessica and did not believe in true love or women. That was why he had always been single.“We’re married.” After seeing Christian’s sho
Christian said, “Besides, when I went overseas to attend the university’s anniversary event last year, I bumped into Jessica’s university friend, Ashley. Ashley said it was a pity that you and Jessica broke up. However, Jessica had her reasons too. She’s the eldest young lady of the Snow family. Her fate was destined since she was born. The Snow family gave birth to her, nurtured her, and gave her the best resources. How could she not care about anything at all after graduating? That would be unrealistic. The world of the wealthy is like that. The more you have, the heavier the burden on your shoulders. Aren’t you supporting Lynch Corporation as well?”Forrest’s delicate lips trembled. After graduating, he had never joined any alumni gatherings. He was afraid of going to familiar places as that would arouse his memories. He was afraid the people he knew would mention Jessica. The world was actually pretty small. As Forrest used to date Jessica, many of his friends knew Jessica
