“Dad, I was the one who forced Forrest into the marriage,” Jessica suddenly said. “He didn’t bewitch me.”Jason laughed in exasperation. “You’re even defending him now. So he didn’t bewitch you, huh? Jessica, I thought you were the most level-headed person in the Snow family. I didn’t think you would handle things emotionally too. Look at you. What potion did he feed you? To be honest, I wasn’t supportive of Freya and Ryan dating. However, Ryan isn’t my son. Everyone thinks that they are truly in love, but now that Forrest has struck up a relationship with you, I’m starting to think that the Lynch family’s goal isn’t that simple.”Jessica’s brows knitted into a tight frown. “Dad, you’ve really misunderstood. In fact, Forrest and I had known each other since I studied abroad. He was my first love.”Jason was astonished. However, his expression then grew darker. “Didn’t you say you didn’t date when you were overseas?”“All of you wanted me to marry Jordan, so why should I tell you th
Jason was stunned. He was hesitating as well. After all, he was still young, and he was also unsatisfied when he was made a figurehead.However, did it matter if he could work until he was 70? Rodney had become a fool, and he knew Carson’s personality very well. Not only was Carson’s mind on dating, but even if Jason forced him to inherit Snow Corporation, he might not be able to convince the directors of Snow Corporation.Wendy looked at her daughter with mixed feelings, only to realize that she might never have truly understood her. “Jessica, is it worth giving up Snow Corporation for a man? Even if Forrest was your first love, it happened long ago. Don’t do something you’ll regret. You’re smart, but you’re still too innocent in relationships. No matter when, only a career won't betray a woman.”“Mom, I’m letting go not because I don’t want this career. I just don’t want to be bounded by Snow Corporation to do what I want to do.”Jessica laughed self-deprecatingly. “Dad, Mom,
“Tough?” Jason said unhappily, “The huge Snow Corporation belongs to her. She’s 50th in the global billionaire rankings. If it weren’t for the Snow family, would she have been able to be this wealthy at her young age?”“Actually, we’re not born with money, and we won’t be able to take it with us when we die either. Jessica has never been a person who pursued extravagance. Look at her monthly expenses. It’s much less than mine.”Wendy said, “Back then, I was uncomfortable about letting her get married to Jordan. However, you and Old Master Snow made her do so. I had no choice… Now that she has finally found a person she likes…”“But that person is Forrest,” Jason reminded. “Don’t forget that Dani has Snow Corporation’s shares. The Lynch family is taking care of Dani now. She’s closer to them. We’re not even sure that she’ll acknowledge us as her grandparents in the future. With Jessica's shares, trouble will befall Snow Corporation if Forrest has different thoughts.”Wendy went sile
“I think it’s Carson. Director Snow will be back too.”“No way. I don’t want President Snow to leave. After she assumed the position, all of our salaries increased.”“...”Even Wendy and Jason, who were upstairs, heard the rumor. It was evident that Jessica was not joking.Half an hour later, Wendy entered with a bottle of medicine in her hand. “Jessica, does your face still hurt? Let me apply some medicine for you.”Jessica, who was in the middle of handing over her work, glanced at her mother with complicated feelings. “Mom, you don’t have to be worried that Snow Corporation will be taken away by the Lynch family. I’m already about to submit my resignation letter.”“Jessica, let’s be considerate of each other, okay?” Wendy sat opposite Jessica. “Back then, it’s true that your dad and I made you go through a lot. Your dad was rash just now, but he has his worries. After all, Snow Corporation is a business inherited from the Snow family’s ancestors. If it weren’t for the Lynch fa
“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? Di
“We are, but I’ve always had my guard up against their plans.”Ryan smiled. It could be said that he was the closest to Jessica out of all the relatives of the Snow family. Talking to smart people was easy like that. In some sense, he and Jessica had always been the people at the top of the food chain. Harold and the others were below them, but they were unaware of that. They thought they could hide their little schemes well. However, it was simply because they were not choosing to expose those schemes and were using each other for benefits. Some people were just not clear about that.“Jessica, you’re so talented. Why would Uncle and the rest be worried about you getting deceived by men? Ha, I think they should be worried about themselves so they won’t get tricked by others,” Ryan joked. “Forget it. To the elders, we’re never as cautious and mature as they are. There’s no need to fight with them over it.”“You’re right.”…Lynch Corporation. Forrest did not pay much attent
“Forget it. Carson may be good at dating, but in business…” At the side, Mr. Watson shook his head. “Is Jason getting more muddle-headed as he’s getting older? Must it be a son? Look at how his son, Rodney, behaved before.”“Never mind. Snow Corporation belongs to the Snow family. It has nothing to do with us. It’s just bad for us, the people with shares.”“...”Forrest listened to them discussing back and forth. It was as though his head had exploded. Jessica was fired?How could that be possible?He heard her saying that there were many things to take care of at the company just in the morning. She did not look like she was about to leave Snow Corporation at all.Did something happen that day?Forrest thought of Harold, whom he bumped into that morning. Harold was the son of Snow Corporation’s director. Did the Snow family find out that Jessica was married to Forrest and forced her to leave? That was not possible either. Jessica was the boss of Snow Corporation. Who coul
Harold looked down on Forrest as he studied his expressionless face. However, he still used an earnest tone to advise him, “Uncle Nathan and the rest have found out about you. Jessica had a big fight with them because of you. Didn’t you see the news that she was removed from her position as president? She expanded Snow Corporation with so much hard work and developed the company to its current scale. In the end, all of the benefits went to Carson. If I were you and if you really love her, I’d definitely leave quietly so as to not weigh her down.”Harold thought that Forrest only got involved with Jessica for her influence. Since she was no longer the president of Snow Corporation, Forrest would surely panic upon hearing the news. “So… You’re telling me this… to let me know that Jessica gave up on the company for my sake?” Forrest’s expressionless face finally tensed. Harold was stunned. He felt that Forrest’s question was weird. Was that the main point to him? “Yes. Anyway, she
