Chapter 2492


    Looking at Forrest’s merciless expression, Stacey was internally annoyed.


    Although she was so proactive, he remained indifferent. Did he really dislike her?Soon, the secretary


    came in and said politely, “ Miss Childs, let me send you back.”


    Stacey’s eyes darkened. She held her crutches with one hand and hooked the other hand through the


    secretary’s arm. Only then did she slowly leave.


    When she arrived downstairs, Mrs. Childs asked desperately, “How was it?”


    “Don’t you see me being sent out?” At that moment, Stacey burst into tears in spite of herself. “Mom,


    do you know how badly he criticized me? He nearly called you both snobbish. I beg you not to do that


    again. Because of you, I had to suffer.”


    “Who knew Lynch Corporation would be able to make aeback?” Mrs. Childs said guiltily, “ What’s


    more, I wasn’t nning on canceling the marriage at first. Forrest was the one who enticed me using


    hismercial properties. I think he did it intentionally. Did he already know that Lynch Corporation


    would be able to pull through? He didn’t let us know simply because he’s not interested in you. He’s


    gone too far. Is he treating us with disdain just because his sister has rtions with the executive


    council?”


    “Things wouldn’t have turned out this way if you both weren’t so snobbish.” Stacey was exasperated.


    “I’m already aware that he’s not into me. I thought of nurturing his feelings for me after we got married.”


    “Forget it. Forrest isn’t the only man in this world.” Mrs. Childs became impatient. “We have a decent


    background. Plus, he haspensated you with twomercial properties. Your social status will rise,


    and your criteria for your partner will naturally be stricter as well.”

    “You don’t even understand what it feels to like someone. I like Forrest, and it has nothing to do with his


    identity.”


    Stacey was particrly exhausted. Why was she born into such a family? Why did she have such


    parents?


    At 9:00 p.m., Forrest returned to his apartment after going out for dinner.


    The house was dark. Jessica had yet to return. Somehow, he was rather unused to it.


    He took out his phone to dial Jessica’s number. When Jessica was chatting with Chairman Lennox’s


    son in the Lennox family’s house, she saw an iing call notification. Then, she smiled at Chairman


    Lennox politely before she stood up and walked to the French window to pick up the call. “Jessica,


    when are youing back? Look at the time now. Are you fooling around with other men?”


    “I’m talking to an elder…” Jessica frowned in dissatisfaction. She would definitely teach him a lesson


    for his awful words if she had the chance. “Let me warn you. You muste back before 10: 00 p.m.”


    Jessica’s lips parted. Before she could say anything, the call ended.


    She looked at the phone screen helplessly. She looked back, only to find Harold standing one meter


    away without her realizing it.


    “What’s the matter? Is there a man urging you to go back?” Harold asked jokingly.


    Jessica did not answer his question but nced at her watch. “It’s quitete. Ineed to go home.” “The


    rain is quite heavy. Let me send you back.” Harold looked at the rain outside. The rainfall


    was always heavy in the summer. “ Coincidentally, I’m nning to go back to sleep. This ce is far


    from the office, so it’s not convenient for me to go to work.”


    Previously, Harold and Jessica had bought apartments in the same neighborhood. It was close to Snow


    Corporation. Thend there was worth a fortune.
