"No." Stacey explained with reddened eyes, “It was Jessica. She met my dad this morning. President Lynch, my dad was really muddle-headed. If I had known about it, I would've stopped him with all my might. However, he had no choice either. The company hasn't been doing well lately, and there are so many employees waiting for their salaries. He just wanted to bet on it
Previously, Forrest had a neutral impression of Stacey. Her parents may be problematic, but she could not do anything about her parents.
However, upon listening to her words, Forrest slapped the documents in his hand heavily on the table. He scolded her fiercely, "Your dad received a huge discount, but he didn’t care about the investors' money. The investors kept suffering losses, but you were gaining a lot of profit. Now that everything is exposed, you're pushing all the responsibilities on Jessica. How could you, the Childs family, be so shameless?"
The man's sharp gaze made Stacey's eyes tremble. She desperately wanted to dig a hole and hide. "President Lynch, most investment companies aren't exactly standing on legal grounds. Even Lynch Corporation..."
"Don't compare the Childs family to Lynch Corporation,” Forrest said annoyedly." We’re doing business. Every penny we earn rightfully belongs to the company, unlike your family's investment company which has no bottom limits. You treat the investors, Jessica, and me as fools. Don't beg me either, Stacey. You should be grateful for what you have. How noble is your identity even? Taking 100 million dollars in return for a broken leg isn’t enough for you. You guys are utterly greedy."
Stacey was on the verge of crying from getting scolded. "But it's a fact that I like you. If it weren’t for my parents back then, I would’ve gotten married to you. I didn't expect you to find someone with a higher status. It's natural that you’d no longer fancy a lady like me. I’m just begging you to let our family off the hook. Take it as if I never saved you. Our family won't look for you anymore."
Forrest’s gaze turned grim. He no longer concealed the contempt in his eyes." Stacey Childs, I don’t owe you anything anymore. Besides, I agreed to marry you back then because your parents were overtly and secretly forcing me to do so. I don’t like you at all. To be honest, rescuing someone is good, but I only saw your family prioritizing benefits. I was unlucky to have you save me back then.”
After speaking, he immediately called security and asked them to send Stacey out.
"Don't let this person come to my office anymore in the future." He gave a strict order.
Stacey burst into tears out of disbelief.
If it were any other man, he might still feel slight sympathy.
However, Forrest was annoyed from the bottom of his heart.
He took his phone and called Jessica." Were you the one behind the Childs family's incident?" "Mm." The woman's lazy voice rang.
