Mr. Childs turned his body. "This cafe serves good breakfast. Do you want to go in and have a seat, Miss Snow?"
"No. Let's just talk here."
Jessica did not step out. Her gaze was cold even though they were separated by a window. “I heard you wish to join Snow Corporation's hydroelectric project?"
"Yes." Mr. Childs was elated. Sure enough, they were about to talk about that matter." Our company has funds amounting to two billion dollars. Don’t worry, Miss Snow. We won't meddle in anything. We'll only invest our money. It's fine as long as we receive our share of the profit after the project ends. It won't affect you in any way.
"Indeed, there are no major impacts." Jessica did not even raise her head. She simply toyed with her sunglasses. "By participating in a project that's supported by the government, not only will the Childs family surely profit from it, but you can even establish yourself within the industry and salvage your reputation after the project is successful. After all, the Childs family’s investment company's reputation hasn't been very good these few years. The loans under the company can’t be collected back, your funds are in deficit, and your multiple applications to the bank for loans haven't been going well. You must've used all the assets from the company's finances to be able to invest two billion dollars this time."
Jessica had hit the nail on the head. Mr. Childs felt slightly awkward. "Sure enough, you're well-informed. However, this doesn’t affect you in any way. It doesn't matter as long as our money is in place.
"But..." Jessica paused. Her cold gaze landed on him. "I hate being threatened the most."
Mr. Childs stiffened. He forced out a smile and said, "It doesn't count as a threat. It's a win-win situation. After all, Forrest really intended to marry my daughter at first."
Jessica laughed. "It’s interesting that you can make wanting something in return from helping others sound so justifiable. Does your daughter know this? She just has a broken leg. There'll be a small scar on her leg, but aesthetic medicine is advanced nowadays. Scars can be entirely removed just by spending 100,000 dollars or so.
However, Forrest compensated you with storefronts worth nearly 100 million dollars. But your greed is insatiable and you even want more. What did Harold tell you?"
